Solution
Length of the garden = 40 m
Area = 1000 sq m
⇒ lb = 1000
⇒ 40b = 1000
⇒ b = 25 m
Perimeter = 2 (l + b)
= 2 (40 + 25)
= 130 m
For 1 round of fencing leaving the entrance of 4 m, the length of wire required is 130 m − 4 m
= 126 m
For 3 such rounds of fencing, 3 × 126 m
= 378 m of wire required.
Rate of fencing 1 m = Rs 250
Rate of fencing 378 m = 378 × 250
= Rs 94500
Thus, Rs 94500 is required for fencing the garden.
