The cost of painting the ceiling and the four walls of a rectangular hall is $5200 at the rate of $4 per square metre. If the length and breadth of the hall are 25m and 30m respectively, find the height of the hall.
Let x be the height of the hall.
[2(30x)+2(25x)+(25*30)]/4=5200
[(110x)+750]/4=5200
110x+750=20800
110x=20050
x=182(corr.to nearest integer)
the height of the hall is 182M.
