Answer:
Area.
Using Heron's formula to calculate the area, first calculate the semi-perimeter;
= (100 + 60 + 80) / 2
= 120 m
Area = [tex]\sqrt{120 * (120 - 100)(120 - 60)(120 - 80)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{5,760,000}[/tex]
= 2,400 m²
Cost of fencing.
Perimeter = 100 + 60 + 80 = 240m
Less space for gate = 240 - 5 = 235m
Cost = 235 * Rs 50 per meter
= Rs 11,750
The different units used in your question would lead to an incomprehensible answer so I used meteres for all.
