Area Problems
One diagonal of a rhombus is 60% of the other diagonal. Then, area of the rhombus is how many times the square of the length of the larger diagonal?
Let one diagonal be k.Then, other diagonal = (60k/100) = 3k/5 cmArea of rhombus =(1/2) x k x (3k/5) = (3/10) = 3/10 (square of longer diagonal)Hence, area of rhombus is 3/10 times.
Area of the carpet = Area of the room = 8 x 6 = 48 sq mWidth of the carpet = 75/100 = 3/4 mLength of the carpet = 48 x (4/3) = 16 x 4 = 64 m? Cost of carpeting = 64 x 20 = ? 1280
