Question

A garden is in the form of a rhombus whose side is $30\text{metres}$ and the corresponding altitude is $16m$. Find the cost of levelling the garden at the rate of $Rs.2$ per $m^2$.

Answer 1

Step: Find the cost of levelling the garden

Given:
Length of side of garden $=30m$
Corresponding altitude $=16m$
Rate of levelling the garden $=Rs.2\text{per}{m}^2$

Area of rhombus = Base $\times$ Altitude
$=30\times 16=480m^2$

Cost of levelling the garden $=Area\times \text{rate per}{m}^2$
$=480\times 2=Rs.960$

Hence, the cost of levelling the garden is $Rs.960$.
