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
clearly the cow will graze a circular field of area 9856 sq m and radius equal to the length of the rope.
Let the length of the rope be r mts then,
= 9856
= (9856 × 7) / 22 = 3136
r = 56 m
According to the question,l/[2(l + b)] = 5/18? 10l + 10b = 18l = 10b? l/b = 10/8 = 5/4? l : b = 5 : 4Hence, ratio of length and breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 4
