Question
A verandah of width 2.25 m is constructed all along outside a room which is 5.5 m long and 4 m wide. Find:
1) the area of the verandah
2) the cost of cementing the floor of the verandah at the rate of Rs 200 per m2.
Solution
1)
Length (l) of room = 5.5 m
Breadth (b) of room = 4 m
Area of room = l × b = 5.5 × 4 = 22 m2
From the figure, it can be observed that the new length and breadth of the room, when verandah is also included, are 10 m and 8.5 m respectively.
Area of the room including the verandah = 10 × 8.5 = 85 m2
Area of verandah = Area of the room including the verandah − Area of room
= 85 − 22 = 63 m2
2)
Cost of cementing 1 m2 area of the floor of the verandah = Rs 200
Cost of cementing 63 m2 area of the floor of the verandah = 200 × 63
= Rs 12600
