Question

The radius of a circular plot is 7.7 metres. How much will it cost to fence the plot with 3 rounds of wire at the rate of 50 rupees per metre?

Answer 1

Circumference of circular plot = 2πr = `2 xx 22/7 xx 7.7` = 48.4

Length of wire required for one round of fencing = 48.4 m.

Cost of one round of fence = length of wire × cost per metre.

= 48.4 × 50

= 2420 rupees.

Cost of 3 rounds of fencing = 3 × 2420 = 7260 rupees
