Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 160 m and its width is 30 m. Find the cost of leveling it at the rate of $2.50 per sq.m. $5,462 $3,750 $3,840 $9,840

Answer 1

$12,000.

Explanation

Length of garden = 160 m

Width of garden = 30 m

area of rectangle = length * width

substituting vale of length and width for rectangular garden we have

area of rectangular garden = 160 m * 30 M = 4800 sq. m

cost of leveling one sq. m is $2.50

and it is required to level 4800 sq. m

hence to total cost to level rectangular garden = area of rectangular garden * cost of leveling one sq. m of space

=4800 * 2.5

= 12,000

Therefore cost of leveling rectangular garden is $12,000.
