Let base = b and altitude = h Then, Area = b x h But New base = 110b / 100 = 11b / 10Let New altitude = HThen, Decrese = (h - 10h /11 )= h / 11? Required decrease per cent = (h/11) x (1 / h ) x 100 %= 91/11 %
Let the breadth of the given rectangle be x then length is 2x. thus area of the given rect is 2 x 2 after dec 5cm from length and inc 5cm breadth , new lenght becomes 2x-5 and breadth is x+5.thus new area =(2x-5)(x+5)= 2 x 2 + 5 x - 25 since new area is 75 units greater than original area thus 2 x 2 + 75 = 2 x + 5 x - 25 5x=75+25 5x=100 therefore x=20 hence length of the rectangle is 40 cm.
