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.
Let l = 4k and b = 9kArea of rectangle = l x b144 = 4k x 9k ? k2 = 144/36 ? k2 = 4? k = 2? l = 8 cm and b = 18 cmPerimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)= 2(8 + 18)= 2 x 26= 52 cm
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 original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres. Original area = xy sq.m Increased length = 120 100 and Increased breadth = 120 100 New area = 120 100 x * 120 100 y = 36 25 x y m 2 The difference between the Original area and New area is: 36 25 x y - x y 11 25 x y Increase % = 11 25 x y x y * 100 = 44%
