Each side of a square park is 74 meters. A 2-meter-wide uniform path inside the park along its boundary is formed. Find the difference between the perimeter of the park and the path now.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Side of the outer square = 74 meters
Side of the inner square = 74 − 2 − 2 = 70 meters
Outer perimeter = 4 × 74 = 296 meters
Inner perimeter = 4 × 70 = 280 meters
Difference = 296 − 280 = 16 meters
