A hall is in the shape of a parallelogram. One of the parallel walls measures 8 m. The perpendicular distance corresponding to that wall is 1.75 times the length of this wall. If the cost of carpeting the hall is Rs.2 per m2 . Find the total cost of carpeting the hall.
224
Refer to the following figure:
Area of parallelogram = Base × corresponding height = 8 × (1.75 × 8) = 112 m2
Total cost of carpeting the hall = Cost per m2 × Area = 2 × 112 = Rs.224
