A square courtyard is surrounded on all sides by a uniform paved path. The area of the courtyard alone is 150 m2150\,\text{m}^2, while the combined area of the courtyard and the path is 192 m2192\,\text{m}^2. a. (i) Determine the length of a side of the courtyard, expressing your answer in simplest radical form. b. (ii) Determine the length of a side of the larger square that includes the path, expressing your answer in simplest radical form. c. (iii) Hence, calculate the width of the paved path.
