Area Problems
A cost of cultivating a square field at a rate of ? 135 per hectare is ? 1215. The cost of putting a fence around it at the rate of 75 paise per meter wouldbe
Area of the field =1215/135 = 9 hec= 90000 m2 [1 hec =10000 m2]? Side of the field = ?90000 = 300 mPerimeter of the field = 4 x 300 = 1200 mNow, cost of putting a fence around field = (1200 x 75)/100 = ? 900
Diagonal of square = ?2a [a = side]4?2 = ?2 a a = 4 cmNow, area of square = a2 = (42) = 16Side of a square whose area is 2 x 16.a12 = 32 ? a1 = ?32 ?a14?2Now, diagonal of new square = ?2a = ?2x 4 ?2 = 8 cm
Let the radius of the park be r, then?r + 2r = 288(? + 2)r = 288? [(22/7) + 2]r = 288? r = (288 x 7)/36 = 56 ? Area of the park = (1/2)?r2= (1/2) x (22/7) x 56 x 56= 4928
