Area Problems
A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered. If the area of the field is 680 sq. feet, how many feet of fencing will be required?
Area to the rectangular field = 12375/15 = 825 sq mAccording to the question, (L x B) = 825 [L = length and B = breadth]? L x 25 = 825 ? L = 825/25 = 33 m
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
We know that in any triangle "the sum of two sides is always greater than its third side" and "the difference of two sides is always less than its third side".(i) 2 + 3 is not greater than 5 (ii) |5 - 2| not less than 3
