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?
Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres. Original area = (xy) m2. New length = ❨ 120 x ❩m = ❨ 6 x ❩m. 100 5 New breadth = ❨ 120 y ❩m = ❨ 6 y ❩m. 100 5 New Area = ❨ 6 x x 6 y ❩m2 = ❨ 36 xy ❩m2. 5 5 25 The difference between the original area = xy and new-area 36/25 xy is = (36/25)xy - xy = xy(36/25 - 1) = xy(11/25) or (11/25)xy ∴ Increase % = ❨ 11 xy x 1 x 100 ❩% = 44%
Let the width of the room be x membersThen, its area = (4x) m2Area of each new square room = (2x)m2Let the side of each new room = y metersThen, y2 = 2xClearly, 2x is a complete square when x=2? y2 = 4? y = 2 m .
