Area Problems
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 square = 64 sq cm (Side)2 = 64 ? Side = ?64 = 8 cmAccording to the question,? 2?r = 4 x 8 ? r = (4 x 8)/2?? r = 16/?? Area of the circle = ? x (16/?) x (16/?) sq cm = 256/? sq cm.
Original area = (22/7) x 9 x 9 cm2New area = (22/7) x 7 x 7 cm2? Decrease = 22/7 x [(9)2 -(7)2] cm2=(22/7) x 16 x 2 cm2Decrease percent = [(22/7 x 16 x 2) /( 7/22 x 9 x 9)] x 100 %= 39.5 %
Area of the park = (60 x 40) m2 = 2400 m2. Area of the lawn = 2109 m2. ∴ Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) m2 = 291 m2. Let the width of the road be x metres. Then, 60x + 40x - x2 = 291 ⟹ x2 - 100x + 291 = 0 ⟹ (x - 97)(x - 3) = 0 ⟹ x = 3
