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
We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103. Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40. ∴ Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) m2 = 2520 m2
