Question

A rectangular field has a path 5 m wide running round it. If the rectangle formed by the path and the field is 200m by 60m ,find (i) the area of the path ,and (ii) the cost of constructing the path at 15 per metre square

Answer 1

Hi!

Answer:

(i) 2600 m²

(ii) ₹39,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data,

Width of path = 5 m

Breadth of rectangle = 60 m

Length of rectangle = 200 m

So,

Perimeter of the rectangle = Total length of the path

= 2[l + b]

= 2[200 + 60]

= 2 × 260

= 520 m

(i) Area of path = length × width

= 520 × 5

= 2600 m²

(ii) Cost of construction = Area × cost per m²

= 2600 × 15

= ₹39,000

I hope it helps :D
