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 original radius = r and new radius = (50/100) r = r/2 original area = ?r 2 and new area = ? r / 2 2 decrease in area = 3 ?r 2 / 4 * 1 ?r 2 *100 = 75%
Diameter of the circle = 13 + 5 = 18 cm? Radius = Diameter/2 =18/2 = 9 cm Area of the circle = ?r2 = (22/7) x 92 = (22 x 81)/9 = 1782/7 = 254.57 sq cm= 255 sq cm
