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
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
Let the sides of trapezium be 5k and 3k, respectively According to the question, (1/2) x [(5k + 3k) x 12] = 384? 8k = (384 x 2)/12 = 64 ? k = 64/8 = 8 cmLength of smaller of the parallel sides = 8 x 3 = 24 cm
