A house m by m is surrounded by a walkway m wide. 27 9 1.8 a) Find the area of the region covered by the house and the walkway. b) Find the area of the walkway.

A. 385.56 square meters.

B. 142.56 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

A house 27m by 9m is surrounded by a walkway 1.8m wide.

a) Find the area of the region covered by the house and the walkway.

b) Find the area of the walkway.

Let

Length of the house=l=27m

Width of the house=w=9m

Wideness of the walkway=x=1.8m

Area of the region covered by the house and the walkway

=( L + 2*x) * (w + 2*x)

= (27+2*1.8)*(9+2*1.8)

=(27+3.6)*(9+3.6)

=(30.6)*(12.6)

=385.56 square meters.

b) Area of the walkway

= (L + 2*x)*(w + 2*x) - l*w

= (27+2*1.8)*(9+2*1.8) - 27*9

=(27+3.6)*(9+3.6) - 243

=(30.6)*(12.6) - 243

=385.56 - 243

=142.56 square meters.
