Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Lengths of parallel sides of trapezium = 6.32 yards and 7.68 yards
Height of trapezium = 5.5 yards
Cost of ploughing = Rs 1200/square yard
Formula:
Area of a trapezium = 1/2 × (sum of lengths of parallel sides) × height
Solution:
⇒ Area of land = 1/2 × (6.32 + 7.68) × 5.5 = 38.5 square yards
⇒ Total cost = 38.5 × 1200 = Rs. 46200
Therefore, the amount to be spent to plough the entire land is Rs. 46200.
