Answer:
1. Area of the path = 1800 m²
2. The cost of cementing the path = Rs. 360000
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimension of the garden = 90 m by 80 m.
Width of path = 5 m
1. Area of the path = Area of the path with garden - Area of the garden
Area of the garden = length x breadth
= 90 x 80
= 7200
Area of the garden is 7200 m².
Area of the garden with path = length x breadth
But, length = 90 + 10 = 100 m
breadth = 80 + 10 = 90 m
Area of the garden with path = 100 x 90
= 9000
Area of the garden with path = 9000 m²
Area of the path = 9000 - 7200
= 1800 m²
2. The cost of cementing the path = Rs.200 x 1800
= Rs. 360000
