A rectangular lawn of length 200m by 120m has two roads running along its center, one along the length and the other along the width. If the width of the roads is 5m what is the area Y covered by the two roads?
Answer/Solution
1575
Steps/Work
Area Covered by Road Along the Length = 5*200 = 1000 Square Meter
Area Covered by Road Along the Width = 5*120 = 600 Square Meter
Common Area in both Roads (where the roads intersect) = Square with Side 5 meter = 5*5 = 25
Total Area of the Roads Y= 1000+600-25 = 1575
Answer: option C
