Answers
correct Question
A path 2.5 m wide is running around a rectangular grassy plot 40 m by 35 m.
★ Answer
Area of Path = 193.75 Square Meters
Total tiling cost for the path = Rs. 22,397.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of Rectangular grassy plot = 40 Meters
Breadth of Rectangular grassy plot = 35 Meters
Area of Rectangular grassy plot = l x b
= 40 x 35 = 1400 Square Meters
Width of path = 2.5 Meters
Length of Rectangular grassy plot and path =
40 + 2.5 = 42.5 Meters
Breadth of Rectangular grassy plot and path =
35 + 2.5 = 37.5 Meters
Area of Rectangular grassy plot and path together = L x B
= 42.5 x 37.5
= 1593.75 Square Meters
Area of Path = 1593.75 - 1400 Square Meters
= 193.75 Square Meters
Tiling rate per Square Meter = Rs 115.60
Total tiling cost for the path = Rs 115.60 x 193.75
= Rs. 22,397.50
