Question

The length and breadth of a rectangular field are in the ratio 3 : 2. If the area of the field is 3456 sq m. Find the cost of fencing the field at rs. 4 per meter.

Answer 1

Here is the answer......

Answer 2

Let the length of the field be 3x m

Then , it's breadth = 2x m.

So , Area of the field =( Length × Breadth ) sq. unit

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= ( 3x × 2x)m²

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= ( 6x²) m²

But , area = 3456m² ( given )

So, 6x² = 3456 =》x² = $\frac{3456}{6} = 576$

x = $\sqrt{576} = 24.$

So, Length = ( 3 × 24 ) m

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 48 m

⠀⠀ Breadth = ( 2 × 24 )m

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 72 .

Then , Perimeter of field = 2( l + b)

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 2 ( 48 + 72)m

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= ( 2 × 120 )m

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= 240 m .

Hence , the cost of fencing = Rs. ( 240 × 4)

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀= Rs.96ans.
