Question

a wall in the shape of a parallelogram has a door way measuring 3m by 1.5 m as shown in the figure .what is the area of the wall without the doorway ?if an area of 2 sq m can be painted with one tin of painted with one tin of paint , how many tins of paint should be brought to paint the wall?

Answer 1

Answer:

Here, l = 1.5 m, b = 1.25 m

∵ It is open from the top.

∵ Its surface area = [Lateral surface area] + [Base area]

= [2(l + b)h] + [l × b]

= [2(1.50 + 1.25)0.65 m2] + [1.50 × 1.25 m2]

= [2 × 2.75 × 0.65 m2] + [1.875 m2]

= 3.575 m2 + 1.875 m2 = 5.45 m2

∵ The total surface area of the box = 5.45 m2

∴ Area of the sheet required for making the box = 5.45 m2

(ii) Rate of sheet = Rs. 20 per m2

Cost of 5.45 m2 = Rs. 20 × 5.45

⇒ Cost of the required sheet = Rs.109
