Question

In order to fence a square, Manish fixed $48$ poles. If the distance between $2$ poles is $5$ meters, then what will be the area of the square formed?

• A. $1800$ sq. m
• B. $3600$ sq.m
• C. $3000$ sq. m
• D. $2500$ sq. m

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$3600$ sq.m

Let each side of the square be $xm$.
Perimeter of the square $=(48\times 5)m=4x$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{48\times 5}{4}m=60m$
$\therefore$ Area of the square $=(60{)}^2{m}^2=3600m^2$
