Question

" A garden is in the shape of parallelogram with base 18.5 m and altitude 5.2 m. Find the cost of gardening the
whole garden if gardener charges 5 per m
​

Answer 1

Solution -

For this garden in the shape of a parallelogram -

Base of the parallelogram - 18.5 m.

Altitude of parallelogram - 5.2 m .

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1 cm}\begin{picture}(0,0)\thicklines\qbezier(1,1)(1,1)(6,1)\put(0.4,0.5){\bf D}\qbezier(1,1)(1,1)(1.6,4)\put(6.2,0.5){\bf C}\qbezier(1.6,4)(1.6,4)(6.6,4)\put(1,4){\bf A}\qbezier(6,1)(6,1)(6.6,4)\put(6.9,3.8){\bf B}\end{picture}$

Area of the parallelogram -

> Base × Height

> 18.5 m × 5.2 m

> 96.2 m² .

Here , it is given that the cost of gardening is Rs. 5 per m .

However as it is mentioned as per square units ( bcoz it's the area ) , it should be in m² .

Assuming that the cost of gardening is Rs. 5 per m² ,

Total cost of gardening -

> 5 × 96.2

> Rs. 481

This is the required answer !

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• A garden is in the shape of parallelogram with base 18.5 m and altitude 5.2 m.

To Find :-

• What is the cost of gardening the whole garden if gardener charges Rs 5 per m.

Solution :-

Given :

• Base = 18.5 m
• Altitude or height = 5.2 m

As we know that,

$\sf\boxed{\bold{\pink{Area\: of\: Parallelogram =\: Base\: \times Height}}}$

According to the question by using the formula we get,

↦ $\sf Area\: of\: Parallelogram =\: 18.5 \times 5.2$

↦ $\sf Area\: of\: Parallelogram =\: \dfrac{185 \times 52}{10 \times 10}$

↦ $\sf Area\: of\: Parallelogram =\: \dfrac{962\cancel{0}}{10\cancel{0}}$

➦ $\sf\bold{\green{Area\: of\: Parallelogram =\: 96.2\: {m}^{2}}}$

Hence, the area of parallelogram is 96.2 m².

Now, we have to find the cost of gardening,

If, cost of gardening for 1m² = Rs 5

Then, cost of gardening for 96.2 m²,

⇒ $\sf 5 \times 96.2$

⇒ $\sf {\cancel{5}} \times \dfrac{962}{\cancel{10}}$

⇒ $\sf \dfrac{\cancel{962}}{\cancel{2}}$

➠ $\sf\bold{\red{Rs\: 481}}$

$\therefore$ The cost of gardening the whole garden is Rs 481 .
