A rectangular playground with measurement 12 cm and 11 cm, has a walking strip of 2 cm, in the middle of the ground, along the breadth. What is the area of the ground without the walking strip. Correct Answer 88 cm<sup>2</sup>

Given

Length of playground = 12 cm

Breadth of a playground = 11 cm

Formula used

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

 Calculation

Area of rectangular playground = 12 × 11

⇒ 132 cm2

Area of 1 walking strip along the breadth = 11 × 2

⇒ 22 cm

Area of 2 walking strips along the breadth = 2(22)

⇒ 44 cm

Area of the ground without walking strip = 132 - 44

⇒ 88 cm2

∴ Area of the ground without walking strip is 88 cm2
