A rectangular grassy plot is 112 m long and 78 m broad. It has gravel path 2.5 m wide all around it on the side. Find the area of the path and the cost of constructing it at Rs. 4.50 per square metre. |
Answer» Inner area of rectangle = length× breadth Inner area of rectangle = 112× 78 = 8736 m2 Width of path = 2.5 m Length of outer rectangle = 112 +2.5 + 2.5 = 117 m Breadth of outer rectangle = 78 +2.5 + 2.5 = 83 m Outer area of rectangle = length× breadth = 117 × 83 = 9711 m2 Area of path = outer area of rectangle – inner area of rectangle Area of path = 9711 – 8736 = 975 m2 Cost of construction for 1 m2 = 4.50 Rs Cost of construction for 975 m2 = 975(4.50) = 4387.5 Rs |
