Area of the park = (60 x 40) = 2400
Explanation: Area of the lawn = 2109
Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) =
let length = x and breadth = y then 291
2(x+y) = 46 x+y = 23 Let the width of the road be x meters. Then,
x²+y² = 17² = 289
now (x+y)² = 23²
x²+y²+2xy= 529 (x - 97)(x - 3) = 0
289+ 2xy = 529 x = 3.
