# Q. 7.     Through a rectangular field of length $90\; m$ and breadth $60\; m$, two roads are constructed which are parallel to the sides and cut each other at right angles through the centre of the fields. If the width of each road is $3\; m$, find              (i) the area covered by the roads.

R

It is given that the width of each road is $3m$ and length of rectangular park is $90\; m$ and breadth is $60\; m$

Now, We know that area of rectangle is = $length \times breadth$

Area of total park is

$\Rightarrow 90 \times 60 = 5400 \ m^2$                   -(i)

Area of road parallell to width of the park ( ABCD ) is

$\Rightarrow 60 \times 3 = 180 \ m^2$                           -(ii)

Area of road parallel to length of park ( PQRS )  is

$\Rightarrow 3 \times 90 = 270 \ m^2$                          -(iii)

The common area of both the roads ( KMLN ) is

$\Rightarrow 3 \times 3 = 9 \ m^2$                               -(iv)

Area of roads = $[(ii)+(iii)-(iv)]$

$\Rightarrow 180+270-9 = 441 \ m^2$

Therefore, the area of road is  $441 \ m^2$
