A rectangular yard measuring 30 ft by 52 ft is bordered (and surrounded) by a fence. Inside, a walk that is 2 ft wide goes all the way along the fence. Find the area of this walk. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.
look, if you made a simple drawing of this problem, you would see that you got a 4 rectangles and 4 squares, the dimensions of the squares is always 2 * 2 but the rectangles will have (the length of the original side - 4) * 2 and you can solve it very easily !!
