Answer:

The answer is 36 square feet.

Explanation:

As it is a square so we will find the area as = side x side

Together the garden and a surrounding path are 10 feet wide.

Area will be =
10*10=100 square feet

The path is 1 feet wide.

So, at both ends it becomes 2 feet

The dimension of the garden is =
10-2=8 feet

And area is =
8*8=64 square feet

So, area of the path alone =
100-64=36 square feet.

Hence, the answer is 36 square feet.

Answer: The area of the path=
$36\ ft^2$

Explanation:

Given: The side length of square garden included the path= 10 ft

Then the area of the field which included both gardens and path=
$10*10=100\ ft^2$

The width of the path = 1 ft

Therefore, the side of square vegetable garden = 10-2=8 ft

The area of vegetable garden =
$8*8=64\ ft^2$

Therefore, the area of the path=
$100-64=36\ ft^2$
