Answer 2

Answer:

$\red\bigstar$ The cost of fencing the rectangular field = ₹13400.

SOLUTION

Length of the field = 78m.

Breadth of the field = 56m.

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}\begin{picture}(0,0)\thicklines\multiput(0,0)(5,0){2}{\line(0,1){3}}\multiput(0,0)(0,3){2}{\line(1,0){5}}\put(0.03,0.02){\framebox(0.25,0.25)}\put(0.03,2.75){\framebox(0.25,0.25)}\put(4.74,2.75){\framebox(0.25,0.25)}\put(4.74,0.02){\framebox(0.25,0.25)}\multiput(2.1,-0.7)(0,4.2){2}{\sf\large 78m}\multiput(-1.4,1.4)(6.8,0){2}{\sf\large 56m}\put(-0.5,-0.4){\bf }\put(-0.5,3.2){\bf }\put(5.3,-0.4){\bf }\put(5.3,3.2){\bf }\end{picture}$

Wiring is done along the side of the field.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+b) , Where l is the length and b is the breadth of the rectangle.

⇒ Perimeter of the rectangular field = 2(78 + 56)

⇒ Perimeter of the rectangular field = 2 × 134

⇒ Perimeter of the rectangular field = 268m.

$\boxed{\sf The\: Cost \: of \: Fencing = Perimeter\: of \: the\: field * Rate \:of \:Fencing }$

Rate of Fencing = ₹50.

⇒ The cost of fencing = 268 × 50

⇒ The cost of fencing = ₹13400.
