Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 2656.25 is the cost of leveling the park

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is given in the question that it is rectangular park with

Length = 85 m

Breadth = 55 meter

Width of path around it = 2.5 meter

Price = 12.50 per square meter

Solution:

Now we know that width of the Path from all four sides are = 2.5 meter

Length of the path = 85 meter

As it can be seen in the figure below that Width of the path around it will be 2.5 meter while its length will be same as that of the park

Area of Path = length * width

                     = 85 * 2.5

                     = 212.5 square meter

Price of path = 12.50 * 212.5

                     = Rs. 2656.25
