For area of the park, we have
Now, s – a = (125 – 120) m = 5m
s – b = (125 – 80) m = 45 m
s – c = (125 – 50) m = 75 m
Therefore, area of the park
Also, perimeter of the park = AB + BC + CA = 250 m
Therefore, length of the wire needed for fencing = 250 m – 3 m (to be left for gate) = 247 m.
And the cost of fencing = Rs. 20 × 247 = Rs. 4940.
