Area Problems
A man runs round a circular field of radius 50m at the speed of 12 km/hr. What is the time taken by the man to take twenty rounds of the field?
speed = 12 km/h = 12 × 5 18 = 10 3 m / s distance covered = 20 × 2 × 22 7 × 50 = 44000 7 m time taken = distance /speed = 44000 7 × 3 10 s e c = 4400 × 3 7 × 1 60 m i n = 220 7 m i n
Let each side of the square be a. Then, area = . a 2 New side = 125 a 100 = 5 a 4 . New area = 5 a 4 2 = 25 a 2 16 Increase in area = 25 a 2 16 - a 2 = 9 a 2 16 Increase% = 9 a 2 16 * 1 a 2 * 100 % = 56.25%.
