Question

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

Answer 1

Given
Each side of a square field $=55m$
Hence, the perimeter of square field can be calculated as follows :
Perimeter $4\times side$
$=4\times 55m$
We get, $220m$
We know that, the length of force required to enclose the field is the perimeter of the square field.
Therefore, the length of fence $220m$
Give
Cost of fence per metre $=Rs32$
Hence, total cost of fencing the field can be calculated as follows :
Total cost of fencing the field $=$Length of fence $\times$ rate of fence
$=220m\times 32$
We get,
$=Rs7040$
Therefore, total cost of fencing the field $=Rs7040$
