Area Problems
Four horses are be tethered at four concern of a square plot of side 63 meters, so that they just cannot reach one another. The area left ungrazed is?
speed = 12 km/h = 12 × 5 18 = 10 3 m / s distance covered = 20 × 2 × 22 7 × 50 = 44000 7 m time taken = distance /speed = 44000 7 × 3 10 s e c = 4400 × 3 7 × 1 60 m i n = 220 7 m i n
Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = ❨ 12000 x 8 ❩m = 1600 m. 60 Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres. Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160. ∴ Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m. ∴ Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m2
Let original length = x and original breadth = y. Original area = xy. New length = x . 2 New breadth = 3y. New area = ❨ x x 3y ❩ = 3 xy. 2 2 ∴ Increase % = ❨ 1 xy x 1 x 100 ❩% = 50%
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%
