Answer:

A = 864 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangle of length L and width W, the area is given by:

A = W*L

We know that the park has:

L = 60m

W = 40m

Now, if we surround the whole park with a path that is 4m wide, then the rectangle made by the park and the path has the dimensions:

L' = 60m + 2*4m

W' = 40m + 2*4m

(as you can see in the sketch at the end)

The area of the path will be equal to the difference between the area of the rectangle made of the park + the path, and the area of the park alone.

This is:

A = L'*W' - *W

A = ( 60m + 2*4m)*(40m + 2*4m) - 60m*40m

A = 68m*48m - 60m*40m

A = 864 m^2
