To calculate the cost of tiling a rectangular plot of land, we need to determine the area of the plot and then multiply it by the cost per unit area.
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = length × width.
Given:
Length of the plot = 500 meters
Width of the plot = 200 meters
Cost per 100 square meters = Rs. 8
First, let's calculate the area of the plot:
Area = length × width
Area = 500 meters × 200 meters
Area = 100,000 square meters
Next, we convert the area into hundreds of square meters:
Area in hundreds = Area / 100
Area in hundreds = 100,000 square meters / 100
Area in hundreds = 1,000 hundreds
Finally, we can calculate the cost of tiling the plot by multiplying the area in hundreds by the cost per hundred square meters:
Cost = Area in hundreds × Cost per hundred square meters
Cost = 1,000 hundreds × Rs. 8
Cost = Rs. 8,000
Therefore, the cost of tiling the rectangular plot of land would be Rs. 8,000.
