Calculation of Area to be Carpeted
- Total area of the room = side of the square floor * side of the square floor = 10m * 10m = 100 sq.m
- Area of the equilateral triangular table = (sqrt(3) / 4) * side^2 = (sqrt(3) / 4) * 2m * 2m = sqrt(3) sq.m
- Area taken up by the table = sqrt(3) sq.m
- Area of one bookshelf = 4m * 1m = 4 sq.m
- Area taken up by four bookshelves = 4 * 4 sq.m = 16 sq.m
- Total area taken up by the table and bookshelves = sqrt(3) sq.m + 16 sq.m
- Remaining area to be carpeted = Total area of the room - Total area taken up by the table and bookshelves
- Remaining area = 100 sq.m - (sqrt(3) sq.m + 16 sq.m)
Cost of Carpeting
- Half of the remaining area to be carpeted = 1/2 * (100 sq.m - (sqrt(3) sq.m + 16 sq.m))
- Cost of carpeting per square meter = Rs 100
- Cost of carpeting = (1/2 * (100 sq.m - (sqrt(3) sq.m + 16 sq.m))) * Rs 100
Calculation
- Cost of carpeting = (1/2 * (100 - (sqrt(3) + 16))) * 100
- Cost of carpeting = (1/2 * (84 - sqrt(3))) * 100
- Cost of carpeting ≈ (42 - 1.73) * 100
- Cost of carpeting ≈ 40.27 * 100
- Cost of carpeting ≈ Rs. 4113
Therefore, the approximate cost of carpeting the remaining half of the room is Rs. 4113.
