Question

A rectangular grassy plot is 112 m, long and 78 m broad. It has a gravel path 2.5 m wide all around it on the side. Find the area of the path and the cost of constructing it at rs 4.50 square metre.​

Answer 1

Answer:area of plot =length *breath=

                                   =112*78

                                   =8736

new length= 112+2.5=114.5

new breadth=78+2.5=80.5

area =length *breath=

       =114.5*80.5=9217.25

area of path=9217.25-8736=481.25

cost of constructing = 481.25*4.50=2165.625
