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 original length = x and original breadth = y. Decrease in area = xy - ❨ 80 x x 90 y ❩ 100 100 = ❨ xy - 18 xy ❩ 25 = 7 xy. 25 ∴ Decrease % = ❨ 7 xy x 1 x 100 ❩% = 28%
Area of the room=(544 * 374) size of largest square tile= H.C.F of 544 & 374 = 34 cm Area of 1 tile = (34 x 34) c m 2 Number of tiles required== [(544 x 374) / (34 x 34)] = 176
We know that in any triangle "the sum of two sides is always greater than its third side" and "the difference of two sides is always less than its third side".(i) 2 + 3 is not greater than 5 (ii) |5 - 2| not less than 3
