Question

A rectangular Park is 85 meter long and 55 meter broad. Find the cost of leveling a path around the outer side of the park at the rate of Rs12.50 per square meter. The width of the path is 2.5 m.

Must answer this question please.

Answer 1

length of park=85m,breath of the park=55m
width of path=2.5m laid outside so,
outside length (L)=85+2(2.5)=90m,outside breath (B)=55+2(2.5)=60m
area of path=Outer area-inner area=90×60 -85×55=5400-4695=705sq.m
total cost=705×₹12.50=₹.58437.50
