00:01 In this problem we have a rectangular garden which is abcd and it has given length and width and we have a walkway which is 2 feet wide around this garden and we have to find out the area of the walkway.
00:18 So the area of the smaller triangle abcd will be a1 equal to length into width.
00:25 Length is 10 feet and width is 6 feet.
00:30 So this is 60 feet square.
00:36 Now area of the larger triangle efgh will be equal to width of the larger triangle and length of the larger triangle multiplied together.
00:50 Now length of the larger triangle will be 10 feet plus 2 feet plus 2 feet.
00:55 So area is length of the larger triangle times width of the larger triangle...
