Question

The path that leads to our house is 2 m wide. It divides
our garden into two equal squares, as shown in the figure.
The path is constructed for Rs. 8000 at the rate of Rs.500
per sq m. Let us calcu;ate the area of each square portion
of garden. If the breadth of the whole plot of rectangular
land on which the house is built is 4m, let us calculate
the area occupied by the house itself.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABCD, the square garden of side= 30 m.

PQRS is the region inside the garden.

so,

PQ = (30 -1-1 ) = 28 m

also

PS = ( 30 – 1 – 1 ) = 28 m

(i) Area of the path = Area of ABCD – Area of PQRS

= [( 30 x 30) – (28 x 28)]

= 900 – 784

= 116 sq.m

(ii) Area of the remaining portion in which the grass is planted = Area of square PQRS

= 28 x 28

= 784 sq.m

cost of planting the grass in the region PQRS = area x cost = 764 x 40

=31,360
