Question

There is a rectangular lawn 10m long and 4m wide in front of Meena house it is fenced along the two smaller sides and one longer side leaving a gap of 1m for the entrance. Find the length of fencing? what is the solution of it

Answer 1

area of rect.lawn is 10×4=40sq.m
now the lawn is fenced with the gap of 1m
so length =10-(1+1)= 8 m
breadth is =4-(1+1)=2m
area is 8×2=16 sqm

Answer 2

The area of the rectangular lawn in front of Meena's house is equal to 10x4= 40 sq.m

Now, when the lawn is fenced with that of the gap of 1 m

The length will be equal to 10-(1+1) = 8 m

The breadth is equal to 4-(1+1) = 2 m

Therefore, the area will be 8x2= 16 sqm

So, the right answer is 16 sqm
