Area Problems
A park is in the form of a square one of whose sides is 100 m . The area of the park excluding the circular lawn in the centre of the park is 8614 m 2. The radius of the circular lawn is?
Area of park = 100 x 100 = 10000 m2Area of circular lawn = Area of park - area of park excluding circular lawn= 10000 - 8614 = 1386Now again area of circular lawn = (22/7) x r2 = 1386 m2? r2 = (1386 x 7) / 22= 63 x 7= 3 x 3 x 7 x 7? r = 21 m
We know that area of triangle = ( base x height ) / 2So area of triangle = (BC x AD) / 2 = (AC x BE) / 2 ? (10 x 4.4) / 2 = (11 x h) / 2? h= (10 x 4.4)/11 = 4 cm
let original radius = r and new radius = (50/100) r = r/2 original area = ?r 2 and new area = ? r / 2 2 decrease in area = 3 ?r 2 / 4 * 1 ?r 2 *100 = 75%
