Correct Answer: 68 cm 2


Solution : The outer square has sides of length 18 cm, so its area is 18 × 18 cm 2 .
The inner square, formed by the 1 cm wide path along the edges, has sides
= 18 − (2 × 1) = 16 cm
The area of the inner square is = 16 ×16 cm 2
Area of path = Area of the outer square − Area of the inner square
= (18 × 18) − (16 × 16)
= 324 − 256 = 68 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 68 cm 2 .
