A rectangle has 30 cm as its length and 720 sq cm as its area. Its area is increased to 1 1/ 4 times its original area by increasing only its length. Its new perimeter is
Original breadth of rectangle = 720/30 = 24 cmNow , area of rectangle = (5/4) x 720 = 900 cm2? New length of rectangle = 900/24 = 37.5 cm? New perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+ b)= 2(37.5 + 24 ) = 2 x 61.5 = 123 cm
Area of the carpet = Area of the room = 8 x 6 = 48 sq mWidth of the carpet = 75/100 = 3/4 mLength of the carpet = 48 x (4/3) = 16 x 4 = 64 m? Cost of carpeting = 64 x 20 = ? 1280
