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
Area to be plastered = [2(l + b) x h] + (l x b) = {[2(25 + 12) x 6] + (25 x 12)} m2 = (444 + 300) m2 = 744 m2. ∴ Cost of plastering = Rs. ❨ 744 x 75 ❩ = Rs. 558
