Question

A rectangular piece of land is to be fenced for an exhibition. The length of the exhibition land is 250m and its breadth is 200m. We need to keep an entrance of 10 m and an emergency exit of 5m. IF the cost of this special fencing is rs. 175 per meter, what will be the cost total cost of fencing?

Answer 1

250 + 250 + 200 + 200 = 900m

900m - 10m = 890m

890m - 5m = 885m

885m x 175 = 154875

The total cost of the fencing would be 154875.

Answer 2

Answer: Total cost would be Rs. 154,875.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of exhibition land = 250 m

Breadth of exhibition land = 200 m

Entrance length = 10 m

Emergency exit length = 5 m

So, first perimeter of exhibition land is given by

$2\times (250+200)\\\\=2\times 450\\\\=900\ m$

fencing removed for entrance = 900-10 = 890 m

Fencing removed for emergency exit = 890 - 5 =885 m

cost of fencing = Rs. 175 per meter

So, Total cost for total fencing is given by

$175\times 885\\\\=Rs.\ 154,875$

Hence, total cost would be Rs. 154,875.
