A rectangular field is of dimensions 25 meters in length and 23 meters in width. A road of width two meters is to be laid around it on the outside of the field at a cost of 33 for a square meter. What is the total cost of laying the road? Correct Answer 6864

Calculation:

⇒ The area of road to be laid = Area of new rectangle with the road - area of field =  {(25 + 4) × (23 + 4)} – (25 × 23)

⇒ 208 m2

⇒ The overall cost = 208 × 33 = 6864

∴ The required result will be 6864.
