Answer» Length of the rectangular garden = 40 m Area of the rectangular garden = 1000 sq. m. ∴ length × breadth = 1000 ∴ 40 × breadth = 1000 ∴ breadth = 1000/40 = 25 m Now, perimeter of the rectangular garden = 2 × (length + breadth) = 2 (40 + 25) = 2 × 65 = 130 m Length of one round of fence = circumference of garden – width of the entrance = 130 – 4 = 126 m ∴ Total length of fencing = length of one round of wire × number of rounds = 126 × 3 = 378 m ∴ Total cost of fencing = Total length of fencing × cost per metre of fencing = 378 × 250 = 94500 ∴ The cost of fencing the garden is Rs 94500. |
