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
