Area Problems
Area of rectangular field is 3584 m 2 and the length and the breadth are in the ratio 7 : 2, respectively. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
Let length of the rectangular field = 7k m and breadth of the rectangular field = 2k mAccording to the question,Area of a rectangular field = Length x Breadth? 3584 = 7k x 2k ? 14 x k2 = 3584 ? k2 = 3584/14 = 256? k2 = 256 = 16 m? Length of rectangular field = 7k = 7 x 16 = 112 mAnd breadth of rectangular field = 2 x 16 = 32 m? Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length x Breadth)= 2(112 + 32) = 2 x 144 = 288 m
Let each side of the square be a. Then, area = . a 2 New side = 125 a 100 = 5 a 4 . New area = 5 a 4 2 = 25 a 2 16 Increase in area = 25 a 2 16 - a 2 = 9 a 2 16 Increase% = 9 a 2 16 * 1 a 2 * 100 % = 56.25%.
Let a = 13, b = 14 and c = 15. Then, s = 1 2 a + b + c =21 (s- a) = 8, (s - b) = 7 and (s - c) = 6. Area = s s - a s - b s - c = 21 × 8 × 7 × 6 = 84 sq.cm
