your school is governing body has identified a space in front of the classes to be paved for morning assembly purposes. The space identified is rectangular and has width of 9 meters and length of 17 meters.

Question

you are expected to conduct a research in order to determine the number of flat paving bricks needed for paving the identified space and the paving cost if the paving cost if the paving company charges R22 Per square metres.
1.if one square metre cost R22, what is the cost of the total area

Answer 1

To find the cost of paving the identified space, we first need to calculate the area of the rectangular space.

1. Calculating the Area: \[ \text{Area} = \text{Width} \times \text{Length} \] \[ \text{Area} = 9 , \text{meters} \times 17 , \text{meters} = 153 , \text{square meters} \]

2. Calculating the Cost: Given that the paving company charges R22 per square meter, we can calculate the total cost as follows: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Area} \times \text{Cost per square meter} \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 153 , \text{square meters} \times R22/\text{square meter} = R3366 \]

So, the cost for paving the identified space is R3366.
