Question

A carpet 10m 50cm long and 550cm broad is bounded by a tape around the edges. How long tape is used? Find the cost of the tape at Rs. 3 per meter.

Answer 1

Heya user !!!

Here's the answer you are looking for

The length of the carpet = 10m50cm = 1050cm

and it's breadth = 550cm

So perimeter = 2(1050 + 550)

= 2(1600)

=3200cm

= 32m

Therefore, 32m long tape is required to bound it's edges.

Cost of the tape required = ₹3×32 = ₹ 96

Answer 2

The carpet Is a rectangle.
Perimeter of a rectangle= 2×(l+b)
=2×(1050cm+550cm)
=2×1600
=3200cm
3200cm long tape is used.
Cost of tape per meter = Rs.3
Total cost of tape=
3200×3
= Rs.9600
