Question

A rectangular park is 100 m by 50 m. It is surrounding by semi-circular flower beds all round. Find the cost of levelling the semi-circular flower beds at 60 paise per square metre (use π = 3.14).

Answer 1

Since four semicircular flower beds rounds the rectangular park. Then, diameters of semicircular plots are and

So, the radius of semicircle at larger side of rectangle

And the radius of semicircle at smaller side of rectangle

Now, the total area of semicircular plot is sum of area of four semicircular plots.

Since,
