2. Answer:

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Find the area of the garden:
   

   
   

   Area = length x Breadth
   

   
   

   Area = 18 x 15 = 270 m²
   

   
   

   
   

   Find the area of the garden and the path:
   

   
   

   Length = 18 + 2.25 + 2.25 = 22.5 m
   

   
   

   Breadth = 15 + 2.25 + 2.25 = 19.5 m
   

   
   

   Area = Length x Breadth
   

   
   

   Area = 22.5 x 19.5 = 438.75 m²
   

   
   

   
   

   Find the area of the path:
   

   
   

   Area of the path = 438.75 – 270 = 168.75 m²
   

   
   

   
   

   Answer: The area is 168.75 m²
