A path 2m wide is built along the border and inside a square garden of side 40 m. Find
(1) the area of the path
(2) the cost of planting grass in the remaining
portion of garden at the rate of
Rs 350 per m
Answers
Answer:
Let ABCD, the square garden of side= 30 m.
PQRS is the region inside the garden.
so,
PQ = (30 -1-1 ) = 28 m
also
PS = ( 30 – 1 – 1 ) = 28 m
(i) Area of the path = Area of ABCD – Area of PQRS
= [( 30 x 30) – (28 x 28)]
= 900 – 784
= 116 sq.m
(ii) Area of the remaining portion in which the grass is planted = Area of square PQRS
= 28 x 28
= 784 sq.m
cost of planting the grass in the region PQRS = area x cost = 764 x 40
=31,360
