bastav mahapatra  (10 years ago)

Area of path horizontal=20*192.5=3850 dm^2
Area of path vertical=20*125=2500 dm^2
Since center path is covered twice so total area=(3850+2500)-(20*20)=5950 dm^2
total cost=1.32*59.5 m^2=78.54

2.5 dm = .0.25m
19.25 m × 2 m = 38.5 m^2
12.50 m × 2 m = 25 m^2
Since they will overlap therefore we have to subtract 2×2 m^2
Therefore answer will be
(25 + 38.5 - 4 ) × 1.32
I.e 78.65

Akshayyha Krishnamurthy  (5 years ago)

Area of pathway running across the middle of a rectangle = w ( l + b - w )
= 2 ( 19.25 + 12.5 - 2 )
= 59.50 sq.m
Cost for paving 59.50 sq.m = 59.50 * 1.32 = Rs. 78.54
