Worked Solution
Step 1: Total area of the field = 60 × 45 = 2 700 m².
Step 2: Inner grass region: each dimension is reduced by 2 × 3 = 6 m (path on both sides).
Inner = (60 − 6) × (45 − 6) = 54 × 39 = 2 106 m².
Step 3: Path area = total − inner = 2 700 − 2 106 = 594 m².
Answer: 594 m²
Correct answer: 594 m²
