Fence Cost 342Bdb
1. The problem states that the area of Fairuz's land is 3600 m², and the land is rectangular with sides $x$ meters and $(2x + 10)$ meters.
2. The area formula for a rectangle is:
$$\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}$$
Here, the area is given as 3600 m², so:
$$x(2x + 10) = 3600$$
3. Expand and simplify the equation:
$$2x^2 + 10x = 3600$$
4. Rearrange to standard quadratic form:
$$2x^2 + 10x - 3600 = 0$$
Divide the entire equation by 2 to simplify:
$$x^2 + 5x - 1800 = 0$$
5. Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:
$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$
where $a=1$, $b=5$, and $c=-1800$.
Calculate the discriminant:
$$\Delta = 5^2 - 4(1)(-1800) = 25 + 7200 = 7225$$
Calculate the square root:
$$\sqrt{7225} = 85$$
6. Find the two possible values for $x$:
$$x = \frac{-5 \pm 85}{2}$$
- For the positive root:
$$x = \frac{-5 + 85}{2} = \frac{80}{2} = 40$$
- For the negative root:
$$x = \frac{-5 - 85}{2} = \frac{-90}{2} = -45$$
Since length cannot be negative, we take $x = 40$ meters.
7. Calculate the other side:
$$2x + 10 = 2(40) + 10 = 80 + 10 = 90$$ meters.
8. Calculate the perimeter of the land (the total length of the fence):
$$P = 2(x + 2x + 10) = 2(40 + 90) = 2(130) = 260$$ meters.
9. Calculate the cost of building the fence:
$$\text{Cost} = \text{perimeter} \times \text{price per meter} = 260 \times 25 = 6500$$
10. Compare the cost with the savings:
Savings = 6500
Cost = 6500
Since the cost equals the savings, the remaining money is zero, so the savings are just enough to build the fence.
**Final answer:**
- The cost of building the fence is 6500.
- The savings of 6500 are sufficient to cover the cost exactly, with no remaining balance.
