Question

. A rectangular grassy lawn measuring 35 m by 20 m is to be
surrounded externally by a path which is 2.5 m wide.
Calculate the cost of leveling the path at the rate of Rs 11.25
per square meter.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 3,375

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of lawn = 35 × 20 = 700m²

Length of path = 35+2.5+2.5= 40m

Breath of path = 20+2.5+2.5= 25m

Area of extra added side = 40 × 25 =1000 m²

Area of path = 1000 - 700 = 300 m²

Cost of levelling the path = 300 × 11.25 = Rs. 3,375
