a rectangular room is twice as long as its breadth and its peimeter is 540 m. find the number of bricks of size 20 cm * 12cm to pave the room. if the rate of cost of bricka is rs. 950 per 1000, find the cost of paving the room.

Step-by-step explanation:

breadth = x

length = 2x

Perimeter = 540m

2 * (length + breadth) = 540

2 * (2x + x) = 540

3x = 540/2

3x = 270

x = 270/3

x = 90 m

Breadth = 90m = 90 * 100 = 9000 cm

Length = 2*90 = 180 m = 180 * 100 = 18000 cm

No. of bricks = Area of room / area of one brick

= 9000 * 18000 / 20 * 12

= 675000 bricks
