Area Problems
A hall 20 m long and 15 m broad is surrounded by a verandah of uniform width of 2.5 m. the cost of flooring the verandah at the rate of 3.50 per sq. meter 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
Circular piece is 4 x 11 = 44 cm long, Then Circumference of circle is given by, 44 = pi x D, where D is the diameter D = 44 / pi Take pi = 22 / 7, then D = 44 / (22/7) = (44 x 7) / 22 D = 14 cm.
