The area of a circular playground is 22176 cm222176 \ cm^2. What is the cost of fencing this ground at the rate of ₹50 per metre?

Solution

Correct Option: 1

"Fencing the ground" means applying fences at only the edges of the ground, i.e the perimeter, or circumference, as we call it for the circle.

Area = 2217622176 cm2=πr2cm^2 = \pi r^2

22176=πr222176 = \pi r^2

r2=22176πr^2 = \frac{22176}{\pi}

r2=7056r^2 = 7056

r=84r = 84 cm

Circumference = 2πr2\pi r = 2π×842\pi × 84 cm

=528= 528 cm

=5.28= 5.28 meters

Cost = 5.28×505.28 × ₹50

=264= ₹264

Therefore, the cost of fencing is 264₹264
