उत्तर
Let the side of the square lawn be x m.
Area of the square lawn = x2 m2
The square lawn is bounded on three sides by a path which is 4 m wide.
Area of outer rectangle = (x + 4)(x + 8) = x2 + 12x + 32
Area of path = x2 + 12x + 32 – x2 = 12x + 32
From the given information, we have:
`12x + 32 = 7/8 x^2`
`96x + 256 = 7x^2`
`7x^2 - 96x - 256 = 0`
`7x^2 - 112x + 16x - 256 = 0`
`7x(x - 16) + 16(7x + 16) = 0`
`(x - 16)(7x + 16) = 0`
`x = 16, (-16)/7`
Since, x cannot be negative.
So, x = 16 m.
Thus, each side of the square lawn is 16 m.
