10. A rectangular piece of land is to be fenced for an exhibition. The length of the exhibition land
is 250 m and its breadth is 200 m. We need to keep an entrance of 10 m and an emergency
exit of 5 m. If the cost of this special fencing is 175 per metre, what will be the total cost
of fencing?
Answers
- Total cost would be Rs. 154.875
Since we have given that
Length of exhibition land = 250 m
Breadth of exhibition land = 200 m
Entrance length = 10 m
Emergency exit length = 5 m
So, first perimeter of exhibition land is given by
= 2 × (250+200)
=2 × 450
=900 m
fencing removed for entrance = 900-10 = 890 m
Fencing removed for emergency exit = 890 - 5 =885 m
cost of fencing = Rs. 175 per meter
So, Total cost for total fencing is given by
\begin{gathered}175\times 885\\\\=Rs.\ 154.875\end{gathered}
=175×885
=Rs. 154.875
Hence, the total cost would be Rs.154.875
