The cost of plugging a square field rupees 13.50 per square metre is rupees 5400 find the cost of fencing the field at rupees 28.50 per metre
5400/13.50 = 400
√400 = 20
4*20*28.50 = 2280.00
To find the cost of fencing the square field, you need to calculate the perimeter of the field and then multiply it by the cost per meter.
1. Calculate the area of the square field:
Given that the cost of plugging the field is rupees 13.50 per square meter and the total cost is rupees 5400, you can find the area of the field as follows:
Area = Total cost / Cost per square meter
Area = 5400 / 13.50
Area = 400 square meters
2. Calculate the side length of the square field:
Since it is a square, all sides are equal in length. To find the side length, take the square root of the area:
Side length = √(Area)
Side length = √(400)
Side length = 20 meters
3. Calculate the perimeter of the square field:
The perimeter of a square is given by the formula: Perimeter = 4 * Side length
Therefore, for this field:
Perimeter = 4 * 20
Perimeter = 80 meters
4. Calculate the cost of fencing the field:
Given that the cost of fencing is rupees 28.50 per meter, you can calculate the total cost of fencing as follows:
Cost of fencing = Perimeter * Cost per meter
Cost of fencing = 80 * 28.50
Cost of fencing = 2280 rupees
Therefore, the cost of fencing the field is rupees 2280.
