The total area, in square feet, taken by the paths is 2,004
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure with lines to better understand the problem
I can divide the figure into four right triangles, one small square and four rectangles
step 1
Find the area of the right triangle of each corner of the path
The area of the triangle is
substitute the given values
step 2
Find the hypotenuse of the right triangle
Applying Pythagoras Theorem
Let
d -----> hypotenuse of the right triangle
simplify
The hypotenuse of the right triangle is equal to the width of the path
step 2
Find the area of the small square of the path
The area is
we have
substitute
step 3
Find the length of the diagonal of the square park
Applying Pythagoras Theorem
Let
D -----> diagonal of the square park
simplify
step 4
Find the height of each right triangle on each corner
The height will be equal to the width of the path divided by two, because is a 45-90-45 right triangle
step 5
Find the area of each rectangle of the path
The area of rectangle is![A=LW](/tpl/images/0235/0109/e55ee.png)
we have
Find the length of each rectangle of the path
where
D is the diagonal of the park
h is the height of the right triangle in the corner
d is the width of the path (length side of the small square of the path)
substitute the values
Find the area of each rectangle of the path
we have
substitute
step 6
Find the area of the paths
Remember
The total area of the paths is equal to the area of four right triangles, one small square and four rectangles
so
substitute
therefore
The total area, in square feet, taken by the paths is 2,004
