Question

A rectangular plot is 40m long and 16m broad. A road of uniform width of 2m surrounds the plot inside it. Find the cost of paving the road with bricks at Rs 15 per square metre and also find the cost of covering the remaining part of the plot with grass at Rs 9 per square metre?

PLEASE answer the question i need to know the answer please ​

Answer 1

Answer: brick cost= 3120 grass cost =3888

Explanation:

Calculate area of the road by subtracting the area of the inner plot (36x12) from the area of the whole plot (40x16). Multiply the individual costs by the area of their respective places.

(40x16) - (36x12) = 208

208x16 = 3120

36x12 = 432

432x9 = 3888

Answer 2

Explanation:

$3120 and $3888

width of the road=2m

outer Rectangle, I = 40m, b = 16m

Inner Rectangle, I = 36m, b = 12m

Area of Outer rectangle = 40x16= 640m2

Area of inner Rectangle = 36x12= 432m2

Area of the road=640-432 =208m2

cost of paving bricks $15

=208x15 = $3120. Ans

Area of inner Rectangle 432m2

cost of covering with grass $9

= 432x9= $3888.
