Area of Walkway Around a Field

A rectangular field has a length of 20 meters and a width of 10 meters. A walkway that is 2 meters wide surrounds the entire field. To find the total area of the walkway alone, we first need to calculate the area of the field and then the area of the larger rectangle that includes the field and the walkway.

What is the area of the walkway?

Use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is given by:

$$ ext{Area} = ext{length} imes ext{width} $$
