A rectangular plot has 17 m length and 14 m width. What will be the cost of fencing at a rate of Rs25 permetre ?
Answers
Answer:
1550Rs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of park = 17m
Width of park = 14m
Perimeter of park = 2 x (l + b)
= 2 x (17m + 14m)
= 2 x 31m
= 62m
Cost of fencing per meter = 25Rs.
= 62m x 25Rs.
= 1550Rs.
Given:
The length of the rectangular plot = 17 meters
The breadth of the rectangular plot = 14 meters
Cost of putting fence = Rs. 25 per meter of the plot
To find:
The total cost of fencing the rectangular plot.
Solution:
We know that the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is given by,
Perimeter = 2 × ( length + breadth)
Perimeter of the rectangular plot = 2 × ( 17 + 14 )
Perimeter = 2 × 31
= 62 meters
The fencing is done on the boundary of the plot, which is equal to the perimeter of the plot.
Cost of fencing 1 meter of plot= Rs. 25
Cost of fencing 62 meters of plot= 25 × 62
= Rs. 1550
The total cost of fencing the rectangular plot is Rs. 1550.
