Given:
The length of the rectangular field is 85 m.
The breadth of the rectangular field is 60 m.
The width of the path to be covered with grass is 5 m.
The length of the inner rectangular field = 85 m - 5 m - 5 m = 75 m
The breadth of the inner rectangular field = 60 m - 5 m - 5 m = 50 m
The area of a rectangle = length x breadth
⇒ Area of the inner field = 75 x 50 m2 = 3,750 m2
Hence, the area to be covered with grass is 3,750 m2.
