Area Problems
One side of a parallelogram is 8.06 cm and its perpendicular distance from opposite side is 2.08 cm. What is the approximate area of the parallelogram?
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 %
Original breadth of rectangle = 720/30 = 24 cmNow , area of rectangle = (5/4) x 720 = 900 cm2? New length of rectangle = 900/24 = 37.5 cm? New perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+ b)= 2(37.5 + 24 ) = 2 x 61.5 = 123 cm
Length of carpet = Total Cost / Rate = 3600 / 30 = 120 mArea of carpet = (120 x 75) / 100 m2= 90 m2? Area of the room = 90 m2Breadth of the room = Area /Length = 90 / 15 m = 6m
Let the side of the square = y cmThen, breadth of the rectangle = 3y/2 cm ? Area of rectangle = (40 x 3y/2) cm2= 60y cm2? 60y = 3y2? y = 20Hence, the side of the square = 20 cm
