Question

A rectangular plot of land is 240 m by 200 m The cost of fencing per meter is Rs.30. What is the cost of fencing the entire field?

Answer 1

the rectangle have opposite sides equal that's why it must have 2×240+2×200=880m of perimeter.
Now the cost of fencing is rs.30/m that's why 30×880=26400
rs.26400ans.

Answer 2

Answer:

26400 Rs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular plot of land has a length (L)=240 m. and the breadth (B)=200 m.

Now, as the fencing is done along the perimeter, so, we have to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular plot.

Hence, perimeter is given by, P =2(L+B) =2(240+200)= 880 meters.

Given that, the cost of the fencing is 30 Rs. per meter.

Therefore, the total cost of fencing the entire field will be= 880×30 =26400 Rs. (Answer)
