Let a be the length and b be the breadth of the garden
Given area = 8000 sq mtr
=> a*b=8000
Also, given a:b = 5:4
=> 4a = 5b
From the above
a=100 b=80
Now, the path occupies 3200 sq mtrs
Let widtth of the path be c
=> (2a + 2b)*c - 4c*c = 3200
=>360C - 4c*c = 3200
so, c = 10
(I think there might be an easier way of solving)
we have clarify the above problem following way ::
as xy = 3200 therefore we assume,
40*80 = 3200 ( x = 40,y = 80)
again, 5x*4y = 8000
20xy = 8000
xy = 400
as x =40 m .
therefore, 40y = 400
y = 10m
Can you explain me how do we get (2a+2b)*c-4c*c=3200
