A swimming pool is 50m in length, 30m in breadth and 2.5 in depth. Find the cost of cementing its floor and walls at the rate of ₹27 per square metre. With complete solution
Answers
Given,
Length of the swimming pool = 50 m
The breadth of the swimming pool = 30 m
Height of the swimming pool = 2.5 m
Cost of cementing 1 m² = ₹27
To find,
We have to find the cost of cementing the floor and walls of the swimming pool.
Solution,
The cost of cementing its floor and walls at the rate of ₹27 per square meter is ₹51300.
We can simply find the required area to be cemented by using the formula,
Area of 4 walls + base = 2h(l+b) + lb
Required area = 2 * 2.5(50+30) + 50(30)
= 5(80) + 1500
= 1900 m²
Cost of cementing the floor and the walls of 1 m² = ₹27
Cost of cementing the floor and the walls of 1900 m² = 27 * 1900
= ₹51300
Hence, the cost of cementing its floor and walls at the rate of ₹27 per square meter is ₹51300.
