Question 14

Find the cost of fencing a rectangular park of length 175 m and breadth 125 m at the rate of Rs 12 per meter.

Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.

Length of the rectangular park = 175 m.

Breadth of the rectangular park = 125 m.

Perimeter of park = 2 $\times$ (length + breadth).

= 2 $\times$ (175 + 125).

= 2 $\times$ 300 = 600 m.

So, the required fencing for a rectangular park is 600 m.

Since, the cost of fencing park per meter = ₹ 12.

Therefore, the cost of fencing the rectangular park of perimeter 600 m = 12 $\times$ 600 = ₹ 7,200.
