Open in App

Solution

The total cost of fencing = Rs 4480
Rate of fencing per metre = Rs 35
Perimeter of the field $= \frac{Total cost}{Rate per metre}$
$= \frac{4480}{35} = 128 m$
Let the length of each side of the field be $x$ metres.
Perimeter $= (4 x)$ metres
$∴ 4 x = 128$
$\Rightarrow x = \frac{128}{4} = 32$
Hence, the length of each side of the field is $32 m .$
