A path 5m wide is to be built along the border and inside a square garden of side 90m. Find the cost of cementing the path at the rate of Rs.10 per meter square. Required to answer. Single choice.

Total cost of cementing the path = Rs. 17,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the square garden be PQRS

Let the region inside the garden (PQRS) be KLMN.

Given the following data;

Length of sides of PQRS = 90m

Width of path = 5m

Cost = Rs. 10 per m²

Area of PQRS = 90 * 90

Area of PQRS = 8100m²

To find the area of KLMN;

KL = KN = 90 - (5 + 5)

KL = KN = 90 - 10

KL = KN = 80m

Area of KLMN = KL * KN

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area of KLMN = 80 * 80

Area of KLMN = 6400 m²

Area of path = Area of PQRS - Area of KLMN

Area of path = 8100 - 6400

Area of path = 1700 m²

Total cost of cementing the path = Area of path * Cost

Total cost of cementing the path = 1700 * 10

Total cost of cementing the path = Rs. 17,000

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
