A man wants to cover his floor with carpet which costs Rs. 100 per square metres. His floor is in the form of a square which has a perimeter of 24 meters. What wil be the cost of carpeting the floor?
Answers
Solution:
Let x be the side of the squared shaped floor
Given:
Perimeter:24m
To find:
The cost of carpeting the floor
Now,
Perimeter=24m
=>4x=24 [Perimeter of square:4x]
=>x=24/4
=>x=6m
In order to go find out the total cost of carpeting,we need to find the area of the floor.
Applying the formula,
•The area of the floor is 36m^2
Given the cost for unit m^2 is 100 rupees
Total area:36m^2
Total cost:Total area × cost per one m^2
=36×100=3600 rupess
The total cost of carpeting is 3600 rupees.

Given,
A man wants to cover the floor with carpet which costs Rs. 100.
His floor is in the form of a square.
Perimeter of the floor= 24 meters
Let the length of each side of the square be 'a'.
Perimeter of a square= 4a = 24 meters
Lenght of one side, a= 24 ÷ 4 = 6 meters
Area of a square= a × a
= 6 × 6
= 36 square metres
Total cost of carpeting the floor= 36 × 100
= Rs. 3600
The total cost of carpeting the floor is Rs. 3600.
