The internal measures of a cuboidal room are 15m x 10m x 8m . Find the cost of whitewashing all four walls and the ceiling of a room, if the cost of whitewashing is Rs 5 per square meter.
➡Cost of white washing of walls and ceiling is Rs 2750m²
- Length of wall = 15m
- Breadth of wall = 10m
- Height of wall = 8m
- Area of four walls = L.S.A. of room and area of ceiling
- Total cost of whitewashing
L.S.A of cuboid =
Area of rectangle =
Total Area used for white washing = L.S.A of room + Area of ceiling
First we will find L.S.A of room
Area of ceiling =
Total Area =
Total Cost of whitewashing at the rate of Rs 5 per square meter
Therefore, Cost of white washing of walls and ceiling is Rs 2750m².
Given:
- Length of wall (l) = 15 m
- Breadth of wall (b) = 10 m
- Height of wall (h) = 8 m
- Cost of whitewashing = Rs. 5 per m²
To Find:
- The cost of whitewashing all four walls and the celing of a room.
Solution:
★ Lateral surface area of room,
⇒ LSA = 2h(l + b)
⇒ LSA = 2 × 8 (15 + 10)
⇒ LSA = 16 × 25
⇒ LSA = 400 m²
★ Area of ceiling,
⇒ A = l × b
⇒ A = 15 × 10
⇒ A = 150 m²
Now,
Total Area used for white washing = LSA of room + Area of ceiling.
⇒ Total area = 400 + 150
⇒ Total area = 550 m²
So,
Total Cost of whitewashing at the rate of Rs. 5 per m².
⇒ Total area × Rate
⇒ 550 × 5
⇒ Rs. 2750
Hence:
The cost of white washing of walls and ceiling is Rs 2750.
