A verandah of width 3 m is constructed all along outside a room which is 6 m long and 5 m wide.
Find:
(a) the area of the verandah.
(b) the cost of cementing the floor of the verandah at the rate of rs.205 per m2.
Answers
Answer:
Area of verandah = 102m² and, cost of cementing = ₹209.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Length of room = 6m
Width of room = 5m
Width of verandah which is constructed all along outside of room = 3m,
Cost of cementing of verandah = ₹2.05/m²
∴ Length of room with verandah= 6m + 3m + 3m = 12m
Width of room with verandah= 5m + 3m + 3m =11m
Area of room = Length × Width
= 6m × 5m
= 30m²
Area of room with verandah = Length × Width
= 12m × 11m
= 132m²
Area of verandah = Area of room with verandah − Area of room
= 132m² - 30m²
= 102m²
Cost of cementing of verandah = Area × Rate
= 102m² × ₹2.05/m²
= ₹209.1
∴ Area of verandah = 102m² and, cost of cementing = ₹209.1.
