Question

A room is 16 m long and 13.5 m broad. Find the cost of covering its floor
with 75-m-wide carpet at 60 per metre.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Cost Of Covering the Floor With The Carpet is 172.80 Rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the Floor = 16 m

Width of the Floor = 13.5 m

Width of the Carpet = 75 m

Now,

Let us assume the floor to be in the shape of a rectangle.

Formula to find the Area of a rectangle:

${\boxed{\boxed{\sf{Length * Breadth}}}}$

Area of the floor = Length * Breadth

= 16 * 13.5

= 216 $m^{2}$

Length of the Carpet required for the floor:

Area of the Floor / Width of the Carpet

=> 216 / 75

=> 2.88 m

Cost of the Carpet required:

Length Of The Floor * Rupees Per Meter

=> 2.88 * 60

=> Rupees 172.80

Therefore, the cost of covering the floor with the carpet is 172.80 Rupees.
