Area of the park = (60 x 40) m2 = 2400 m2. Area of the lawn = 2109 m2. ∴ Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) m2 = 291 m2. Let the width of the road be x metres. Then, 60x + 40x - x2 = 291 ⟹ x2 - 100x + 291 = 0 ⟹ (x - 97)(x - 3) = 0 ⟹ x = 3
In a triangleSum of two sides is always greater than 3rd side i.e., x < 25 + 15 = 40 .....(i)Difference of two sides is always less than 3rd side i.e., 25 - 15 = 10 < x ...(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii) , we get 10 < x < 40
