Mr. Taj owns a square plot of area 1789.29 m². What is the cost of fencing the plot at the rate of 12.50 per metre?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2115

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of fencing = unit rate x perimeter of square
Perimeter of a square = 4a where a is each side length

If the side of the  square plot = a  then the area = a²

Plugging in the given area for Mr. Taj's square plot
a² = 1789.29

a = [tex]\sqrt{1789.29}[/tex]
a = 42.3 m

The perimeter of the square = 4 x each side = 4 · 42.3

=  169.2 m

Total cost at unit rate of 12.50 per meter
= 169.2 x 12.50
= 2,115
