A parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. The cost of weeding the rectangular plot is 0.0042 GHc.
What is a rectangle?
That parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. A rectangle is always a parallelogram and a quadrilateral but the reverse statement may or may not be true.
A.) The perimeter of a rectangular plot of land whose length is (2x+5) and width is (x-10) is 80cm. Therefore, we can write,
Perimeter of the rectangel = 2(L+W)
80 = 2[(2x+5)+(x-10)]
80/2 = 2x+5+x-10
40 = 3x -5
40+5 = 3x
x = 15
Hence, the value of x is 15.
B.) The length of the rectangle = (2x+5) = 2(15)+5 = 35 cm = 0.35 m
The width of the rectangle = (x-10) = 15-10 = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Now, the area of the rectangle = L×B = 0.35m × 0.05m = 0.0175m²
C.) Given the cost of weeding 1m² is 0.24, therefore, the cost of weeding the rectangular plot is
Cost = 0.0175 × 0.24 = 0.0042 GHc
Hence, the cost of weeding the rectangular plot is 0.0042 GHc.
