Area Problems
A rectangular lawn 55m by 35m has two roads each 4m wide running in the middle of it. One parallel to the length and the other parallel to breadth. The cost of graveling the roads at 75 paise per sq meter is
Circumference = No.of revolutions * Distance covered Distance to be covered in 1 min. = (66 X1000)/60 m = 1100 m.Circumference of the wheel = 2 x (22/7) x 0.70 m = 4.4 m.Number of revolutions per min. =(1100/4.4) = 250.
Let area 100 m2Then, side = 10 m New side = 125 % of 10= (125/100) x 10= 12.5 m New area = 12.5 x 12.5 m2=(12.5)2 sq. m? Increase in area = (12.5)2 - (10)2 m2= 22.5 x 2.5 m2=56.25 m2% Increase = 56.25 %
