A path 1 m wide is build around a garden that is a 30-meter square. What is the area taken by the path?

Answer:
Blue = 116 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the path and the square = 30*30 = 900 m^2
The size of the square = 30 - 2 = 28. The square = 28^2 = 784
The path takes up the difference between the two 900 - 784 = 116
