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
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 original radius = r and new radius = (50/100) r = r/2 original area = ?r 2 and new area = ? r / 2 2 decrease in area = 3 ?r 2 / 4 * 1 ?r 2 *100 = 75%
