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?
AB = 60 m, BC = 40 m and AC = 80 m ? s = (60 + 40 + 80 ) / 2 m = 90 m (s-a) = 90 - 60 = 30 m, (s-b) = 90 - 40 = 50 m and (s-c) = 90 - 80 = 10 m? Area of ? ABC = ?s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) = ?90 x 30 x 50 x 10 m2= 300?15 m2? Area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x area of ? ABC = 600?15 m2
In a triangleSum of two sides is always greater than 3rd side i.e., x < 25 + 15 = 40 .....(i)Difference of two sides is always less than 3rd side i.e., 25 - 15 = 10 < x ...(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii) , we get 10 < x < 40
