Question

A verandah 2.5m wide os constructed along the outside of a room 9.5m long and 7m wide. Find the cost of cementing the floor of the verandaj at the rate of Rs.50 per m2

Answer 1

•Area of the Room = 9.5m x 7m = 66.5m2
•Length of the Room = 9.5m + 2.5m = 12m
•Breath if the Room = 7m + 2.5m = 9.5m
•Area of the Room including the verandah = 12m x 9.5m = 114m2
• Area of the Verandah = (12m x 9.5m) - (9.5 m x 7m) = 114m2 - 66.5m2 = 47.5m2
• Cost of cementing = 47.5m2 x 50 = Rs. 2375
