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 lateral side = (5y) cm and base = (4y) cm ? perimeter = 5y + 5y + 4y = 14 ?y = 1So, the sides are 5 cm , 5 cm and 4 cm Now s= 1/2 (5 + 5 + 4) cm = 7 cm (s-a) = 2 cm (s-b) = 2 cm and (s-c) = 3 cm? Required Area = ? (7 x 2 x 2 x 3) cm2=2?21 cm2
area of the room = 544 x 374 sq.cm size of largest square tile = H.C.F of 544cm and 374 cm= 34 cm area of 1 tile = 34x34 sq cm no. of tiles required = (544 x 374) / (34 x 34) = 176
Let original length = x and original breadth = y. Decrease in area = xy - ❨ 80 x x 90 y ❩ 100 100 = ❨ xy - 18 xy ❩ 25 = 7 xy. 25 ∴ Decrease % = ❨ 7 xy x 1 x 100 ❩% = 28%
According to the question,l/[2(l + b)] = 5/18? 10l + 10b = 18l = 10b? l/b = 10/8 = 5/4? l : b = 5 : 4Hence, ratio of length and breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 4
