Answer:

B. 1690.5 million VND

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of the perimeter of a rectangular piece of land is equal to 21 m

The full perimeter of the Land = 2 × 21m

= 42 m

Step 1

Find the Length and Width of the rectangle

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W

Length is twice its width.

L = 2W

Hence:

42 = 2(2W ) + 2W

42 = 4W + 2W

42 = 6W

W = 42/6

W = Width = 7m

L = Length = 2W

L = 2 × 7

L = 14m

Step 2

Find the Area of the Land

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width

= 14m × 7m

= 98m²

Step 3

Given that 1 m² of the piece of land

costs 17.25 million VND. If someone wants to buy it, he or she has to

pay:

1m² = 17.25 million VND

98m² = x

Cross Multiply

1 m² × x = 98m² × 17.25 million VND

x = 1690.5 million VND

Option B is the correct answer
