Answer:
The area of the path is 626 square meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of ABCD (of the rectangle)
Given length = 40m
Given breadth = 20m
Area = Length × breadth
= 40m × 20m
= 800m^2
External path = 3m wide
Length =40m+3m+3m=46m
Breadth = 25m+3m+3m= 31m
Area of PQRS= Length × breadth
46m ×31m = 1426m^2
Area of path = Area of PQRS - Area of ABCD
= 1426m^2 - 800m^2
= 626m^2
The area of the path is 626 square meters.
hope this helps :)
