You can put this solution on YOUR website! A garden area is 30 ft long and 20 ft wide. A path of uniform width
is set around the edge. If the remaining garden area is 400 ft2, what is the width of the path?

First, find the area of the garden.
A=(30)(20)=600 square feet
Now subtract 400 square feet from the total 600
600-400 = 200 square feet, which is the area of the path. Because 10 times 20 is 200, that may mean that the path is 10 feet wide.
