first, we have to find the area of the triangle using the third side. Let the third side be x . By Pythagoras theorem:

$x=\sqrt[]{50^2-40^2}=\sqrt[]{2500-1600}=\sqrt[]{900}=30$

So, the area of the right triangle is half of the base time height.

$\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)*40*30 \\ =(1200)/(2) \\ =600 \end{gathered}$

Now, the cost of leveling will be the area times the rate of leveling:

THus, the cost of leveling the park is Rs. 1800.
