A garden is in the form of a rhombus whose side is 30 metres and the corresponding altitudes is 16 m. Find the cost of levelling the garden at the rate of Rs. 2 per m2.
Side of rhombus = 30 m
Altitude of rhombus = 16 m
Rhombus is a type of parallelogram
Area of parallelogram = base × altitude
Area of parallelogram = 30 × 16 = 480 m2
Cost of levelling the garden = area × rate
Cost of levelling the garden = 480 × 2 = 960
Cost of levelling the garden is Rs 960
