A path 5m wide runs along in side a square park of side 100cm.find the area of the path also find the cost of cementing it at the rate of Rs250 per 10m square
Side of the square ABCD = 100 m
width of the path = 5 m
side of the square EFGH = 90 m
area of ABCD = 1002 = 10000 m2
area of EFGH = 902 = 8100 m2
area of path = area of ABCD - area of EFGH = 10000 - 8100 = 1900 m2
cost of cementing 10 m2 = Rs. 250
cost of cementing 1900 m2 = Rs. Rs. 47500
