It is given that the width of each road is 3 m and length of rectangular park is 90 m and breadth is 60 m Now, We know that the area of a rectangle is = length $\times$ breadth
The area of the total park is
$\Rightarrow 90 \times 60=5400 \mathrm{~m}^2$-----(i)
The area of road parallel to the width of the park ( $A B C D$ ) is
$\Rightarrow 60 \times 3=180 \mathrm{~m}^2$-----(ii)
The area of road parallel to the length of the park (PQRS) is
$\Rightarrow 3 \times 90=270 \mathrm{~m}^2$------(iii)
The common area of both the roads ( KMLN ) is
$\Rightarrow 3 \times 3=9 \mathrm{~m}^2$
Area of roads = ii+iii-iv
$\Rightarrow 180+270-9=441 \mathrm{~m}^2$
Therefore, the area of the road is $441 \mathrm{~m}^2$
