the length of the rectangular area plus the road on each end is = 16 + (3*2) = 22 meters.
the width of the rectangular area plus the road on each end is = 12 + (3*2) = 18 meters.
the area of the rectangular area plus the width of the road is (22 * 18) = 396 square meters.
the area of the rectangular area by itself is (16 * 12) = 192 square meters.
