A rectangular garden has dimensions 30 feet by 20 feet. What is the area of the 2 foot wide walkway around the garden

216 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we know that there is a 2 feet wide walkway around the rectangular garden. This increases the total length by 4feet, meaning 2ft on each side. It also increases the total breadth by 4, 2ft on each side.

Now, the dimensions of the rectangular garden is 34ft by 24ft

The area of the 2ft walkway can be obtained by subtracting the area of the walkway and garden minus area of the original walkway

The area of a rectangle is l * b

The area is thus: (34 * 24) - (30 * 20) = 816 - 600 = 216 square feet
