After survey, it was decided to build rectangular playground, with a semi-circular are allotted for
parking at one end of the playground. The length and breadth of the rectangular playground are
14 units and 7 units, respectively. There are two quadrants of radius 2 units on one side for
special seats.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) What is the total perimeter of the parking area?
(ii) (a) What is the total area of parking and the two quadrants?
OR
(b) What is the ratio of area of playground to the area of parking area?
(iii) Find the cost of fencing the playground and parking area at the rate of ` 2 per unit.
