Answer 1

Question : -

A rectangular plot land measures 240 m by 200 m. The cost of fencing perimeter is $ 30 per metre. What is the cost of fencing the entire field.

Answer : -

Given that,

Length of rectangular plot = 240 m

Breadth of rectangular plot = 200 m

The rate of fencing the perimeter = $ 30/m

To find,

The cost of fencing the perimeter = ?

Before findin' the cost, we've to find the perimeter of the rectangular plot.

As we know,

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)

So, perimeter of the rectangular plot = 2(240 m + 200 m)

So, perimeter of the rectangular plot = 2(440 m)

Perimeter of the rectangular plot = 880 m

Therefore, Perimeter = 880 m

Now we'll find the cost of fencing the perimeter.

As we know,

Cost = area / perimeter $\times$ rate.

But here, Cost = perimeter $\times$

Cost = 880 $\times$ $ 30 / m

Cost = $ 26,400

Therefore, cost of fencing the perimeter = $ 26,400
