The total cost of fencing.

Solution:

• Perimeter of the rectangular field= 2×(length+ breadth)

⇒2×( 175+125) m

⇒2×(300)m

⇒600m

• Cost for fencing 1 meter= Rs.25

• Cost for fencing 600m= Rs.25×600

⇒ Rs. 15,000.

Hence, the total cost for fencing the rectangular field of length 175m and breadth 125m is Rs. 15,000.
