a square field has a side 150 m long .There is a road 5 m wide all around the park outside it .Find the cost of constructing the road at 250 rupees per sq metre

Answer:

Cost to construct the road = 775000 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Square field has a side = 150 m

Area of the field = (Side)²

                           = (150)²

                           = 22500 m²

Length of the park with road around the field = 150 + 2×(width of the road)

                                                                            = 150 + (2×5)

                                                                            = 160 m

Similarly, width of the park with road around the field = 160 m

Area of the park with road = (Side)²

                                            = (160)²

                                            = 25600 m²

Area of road = Area of the park with road - Area of the park

                     = 25600 - 22500

                     = 3100 m²

Since, cost of constructing the road = 250 rupees per square meter

Cost to construct the road with the given area = 250 × 3100

                                                                              = 775000 rupees
