A park is 300 yds by 500 yds. There is a 4 wide foot walking path going around the entire perimeter of the park. The rest of the park is green space. How much green space is there in the park?
multiply 300 yds and 500 yds together to get a product of 150,000 yds. Then, since there is a foot walking path within the entire perimeterof the park, divide 150,000 yd by 4 to get 37,500.
therefore, there is 37,500 yds of green space in the park
