Question

The floor of a rectangular hall has a Perimeter 250m.if the cost of painting the four walls at the rate of $10 per m square is $15000 find the height of the hall

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter=250m

⇒Area of 4 walls =2lh+2bh

=2(b+l)h

⇒Perimeter of floor of wall =2l+2b

⇒2(l+b)=250 m

∴ Area of 4 walls =2(l+b)h

=250h m

2

⇒Cost of painting per m

2

area = Rs. 10

⇒Cost of painting 250h m

2

area = Rs(250h×10)

= Rs.2500h

⇒Painting cost of walls = Rs. 15000

⇒2500h=15000

⇒h=

2500

15000

⇒h=6m

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length, breadth, and height of the rectangular hall be l, b, and h respectively.

Area of four walls = 2lh+2bh

= 2(l+b)h

Perimeter of the floor of hall = 2(l+b)

= 250 m

Area of four walls = 2(l+b) h = 250h m2

Cost of painting per square meter area = Rs.10

Cost of painting 250h square meter area = Rs (250h×10) = Rs.2500h

However, it is given that the cost of paining the walls is Rs. 15000.

15000 = 2500h

Or h = 6

Therefore, the height of the hall is 6 m.
