Area Problems
A circular wire of radius 42 cm is cut and bent in the form of a rectangle whose sides are in the ratio of 6: 5 . The smaller side of the rectangle is?
Perimeter of rectangle = Circumference of circle = 2?r=2 x ( 22/7 ) x 42= 264 cm Now perimeter of rectangle = 2 x ( 6a + 5a )? 2 x (6a + 5a) = 264? a = 12Smaller side of rectangle = 5a = 60 cm
Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = ❨ 12000 x 8 ❩m = 1600 m. 60 Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres. Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160. ∴ Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m. ∴ Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m2
Area of a triangle formed by joining the mid point of the sides of the triangle is 1/4th of area of the original triangle .So area of ? DEF = 36/ 4 = 9 m2
Let length of rectangle = 5kand breadth of rectangle = 3kAccording to the quecation,5k - 3k = 8 ? 2k =8? k = 4? Lenght = 5k = 5 x 4 = 20 mBreadth = 3k = 3 x 4 = 12 m? Required area = Lenght x Breadth = 20 x 12 = 240 sq m
Let h be the altitude of triangle.So area of triangle = (1/2)xh area of square = x2From question area of square = area of triangle x2 = (1/2)xh ? h = (2x2)/x = 2x
