Length of the rectangular garden = 40 m
Area of the rectangular garden = 1000 sq. m.
∴ length × breadth = 1000
∴ 40 × breadth = 1000
∴ breadth = 1000/40
= 25 m
Now, perimeter of the rectangular garden = 2 × (length + breadth)
= 2 (40 + 25)
= 2 × 65
= 130 m
Length of one round of fence = circumference of garden – width of the entrance
= 130 – 4
= 126 m
∴ Total length of fencing = length of one round of wire × number of rounds
= 126 × 3
= 378 m
∴ Total cost of fencing = Total length of fencing × cost per metre of fencing
= 378 × 250
= 94500
∴ The cost of fencing the garden is Rs 94500
