Question

2. A rectangular plot of land measures 95 m by 72 m. Inside the plot, a path of uniform width
of 3.5 m is to be constructed all around. The rest of the plot is to be laid with grass. Find the
total expenses involved in constructing the path at * 80 per m² and laying the grass at 40
per m​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We get from the question that

Length of rest = 72 - 2x3.5 = 65m

Width of the rest = 95 - 2x3.5 = 88m

So, Area of rest = 65x88 =5720 sq. m.

Cost of grassing = 5720x40 = 228800 rs

Cost of path = 80x[(95x72) -5720] = 89600

Total cost = 228800+89600 = 318400 rs
