Area Problems
A rectangular carpet has an area of 60 sq. m. Its diagonal and longer side together equal 5 times the shorter side, The length of the carpet is?
Let the longer side = l, shorter side = b and diagonal = dThen, area of rectangular carpet = l x b = 60 ....(1) And from question d + l = 5b? d = 5b - l ...(2)? d2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb? l2+ b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb? l2+b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x 60? 24b2 = 600? b = ?25 = 5 m? l = 60 / b = 60 / 5 = 12 m
Length of carpet = Total Cost / Rate = 3600 / 30 = 120 mArea of carpet = (120 x 75) / 100 m2= 90 m2? Area of the room = 90 m2Breadth of the room = Area /Length = 90 / 15 m = 6m
Area to be plastered = [2(l + b) x h] + (l x b) = {[2(25 + 12) x 6] + (25 x 12)} m2 = (444 + 300) m2 = 744 m2. ∴ Cost of plastering = Rs. ❨ 744 x 75 ❩ = Rs. 558
