Let h be the altitude of triangle.So area of triangle = (1/2)xh area of square = x2From question area of square = area of triangle x2 = (1/2)xh ? h = (2x2)/x = 2x
Let length = L and breadth = BLet , New breadth = ZThen, New length = ( 160 / 100) L.= 8L / 5? 8L / 5 x Z = LBor Z = 5B/8Decrease in breadth = (B-5B/8)= 3B/8? Decrease in percent = (3B/8 x1/B ) x 100 %= 371/2%
let ABCD be the given parallelogram area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x (area of triangle ABC) now a = 30m, b = 14m and c = 40m s=1/2 x (30+14+40) = 42 Area of triangle ABC = s s - a s - b s - c = 42 12 28 2 = 168sq m area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x 168 = 336 sq m
