the side of a rectangle Park are in the ratio 9 : 7 if its area is 1728 square metre find it perimeter cost of fencing it at rate of rupees 40 per month
Answers
Correct Question:
- If the sides of a rectangular park are in the ratio 9 : 7 with an area of 1575 m². Then find the cost of fencing if the rate is ₹40 per meter.
Answer:
- The cost of fencing will be ₹6400
Given:
- The side of a rectangular park are in the ratio 9 : 7
- Area of the rectangular park = 1575m²
To find:
- Cost of fencing if it's rate is ₹40 per metre
Solution:
the sides are unknown, let's take the sides of the rectangular park in the form of x.
The sides are 9x and 7x.
Let the length be 9x and breadth be 7x.
We know that :
- Area of the rectangle = (Length) × (Breadth)
Now,
- Length of the rectangular park = 9x
- Breadth of the rectangular park = 7x
Given area of the rectangular park = 1575 m²
Area of the rectangular park in terms of side
= 9x × 7x
= 63x²
Both are equal,
63x² = 1575 m²
x² =
x² = 25m²
x = √25m²
The sides are:
- 9x = 9 × 5 = 45m
- 7x = 7 × 5 = 35m
Now for fencing, we need to find out the perimeter of the rectangular park.
We know that :
- Perimeter of a rectangle = 2( Length + Breadth)
So by substituting the values of length and breadth, we get :
Perimeter of the rectangular park = 2( 45m + 35m )
Perimeter of the rectangular park = 2( 80m )
= 160m
Given rate of fencing per meter = ₹40
Rate of fencing of the rectangular park
= ₹40 (160 )
= ₹6400
The cost of fencing will be ₹6400.
Concepts Used:
- Assumption of unknown sides
- Area of the rectangle = (Length) × (Breadth)
- Transposition Method
- Substitution of values
- Perimeter of a rectangle = 2( Length + Breadth)
Extra - Information:
- Area of a square = (Side)²
- Perimeter of the square = 4 × Side
- Area of a Triangle =
- Perimeter of a triangle = Sum of all sides
- Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3(Side)
- Perimeter of an Isosceles Triangle = 2(Same side) + Different side
- Area of a circle = πr²
- Perimeter of a circle = 2πr or πd
EXPLAINATION
- GIVEN
The ratio of the sides of the rectangle is 9:7
Cost of fencing per meter = 40 rupees
Let the sides be 9x and 7x respectively
Area of a rectangle = Length * Breadth
Therefore,
Area of the given rectangle = 9x * 7x = 63x^2
But in the question, they mentioned the area is equal to 1728 m^2
Therefore,
1728 = 63x^2
x^2 = 27.428
x = ±5.237 m
As the side cannot be negative
Therefore,
x = 5.237 m
Length of the rectangle = 9x = 9*5.237 = 47.133 m
Breadth of the rectangle = 7x = 7*5.237 = 36.659 m
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2*(Length + Breadth)
Therefore,
Perimeter of the given rectangle = 2*(47.133 + 36.659) = 167.584 m
Cost of fencing for 167.584 m = 40*167.584 = 6703.36 rupees
