A field in the form of a parallelogram has base 15 dam and altitude 8 dam.Find the cost of watering the field at the rate of 50 paise per square metre???????Please help to solve this????????????????
₹6,00,000
as always for parallelograms,
area = base * height
and of course,
cost = area * rate
you can either convert the rate to cost per dam^2, or convert the area to m^2

To find the cost of watering the field, we need to first determine the area of the field. The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula:
Area = base * altitude
In this case, the base of the field is 15 dam and the altitude is 8 dam. Therefore, the area of the field is:
Area = 15 dam * 8 dam = 120 square dam
Next, we need to convert the area from square dam to square meters. To do this, we need to know the conversion factor from dam^2 to m^2. However, this conversion factor is not provided in the question.
Once we have the conversion factor, we can multiply the area in square dam by the conversion factor to get the area in square meters. Finally, we can multiply the area in square meters by the cost per square meter (50 paise) to find the total cost of watering the field.
Without the conversion factor from dam^2 to m^2, we cannot calculate the exact cost.
