Area Problems
A rectangle has 15 cm as its length and 150 cm 2 as its area .Its area is increased to 1 1 / 3 times the original area by increasing only its length . Its new perimeter is?
Given ratio = 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 = 20 : 15 : 12Let length of the sides be 20k, 15k and 12k.Then, according to the question,20k + 15k + 12k = 94? 47k = 94? k = 94/47 = 2Smallest side = 12k = 12 x 2 = 24 cm
