Question

Each side of a square plot of land is $55m$. Find the cost of fencing the plot at the rate of $₹32$ per meter.

Answer 1

Step 1: Calculating the length of the fence

Given,
The length of each side of the square $=55m$ The perimeter of the square plot is given by:
$P=4\times \left(Side\right)$
$P=4\times \left(55\right)$
$P=220m$

We know that,
The length of fence $=$ perimeter of plot $=220m$

Step 2: Calculating the cost of fencing at the rate of $₹32$ per meter
Cost of fencing the plot
$=$ length of fence $\times$ Rate of fencing $=220\times 32=₹7,040$

Hence, the cost of fencing the field is $₹7,040$.
