Asquare land whose length is 250 it is surrounded from inside by a path of 20ft wide. find the area of the path

The area of the land is , because it's a square with side 250.

The path forms an inner square whose side are 20 feet less, so the area inside the path is

So, the area of the path is the difference between the outer and inner square:

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a
