Question

the side of a rectengular park are in the ratio 4:3. if its area is 1728m2. find the cost of fencing it is Rs 60 per metre

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.420

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a rectangular park

Comsider AB and BC be the sides of the rectangle AB:BC = 4:3

∴ let AB=4x and BC=3x

Area of rectangle = l×b

4x x 3x = 1728

⇒12x

2

= 1728

⇒x

2

=

1728

⇒x

=144

⇒x=

144

= 12

Hence Length = 4x = 4 x12 = 48m

Breadth = 3x = 3 x 12 = 36m

∴ Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+b)

⇒2(48+36) = 2 x 84 = 168m

Cost of fencing = perimeter × Rate= 168 x 2.50

The total cost of fencing is Rs.420
