Area Problems
Radhika runs along the boundary of a rectangular park at the rate of 12 km/hr and completes one full round in 15 minutes. If the length of the park is 4 times its breadth , the area of the park is?
Speed = 12 x (5/18) m/sec =10/3 m/sec there4; perimeter = (10/3) x 15 x 60 m=3000 m? 2( a + 4a) = 3000 m? a = 300 mSo, length = 1200 m and breadth = 300 m ? Area = (1200 x 300 ) m2 = 360000m2
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
Perimeter of rectangle = Circumference of circle = 2?r=2 x ( 22/7 ) x 42= 264 cm Now perimeter of rectangle = 2 x ( 6a + 5a )? 2 x (6a + 5a) = 264? a = 12Smaller side of rectangle = 5a = 60 cm
We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103. Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40. ∴ Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) m2 = 2520 m2
Area of the park = (60 x 40) m2 = 2400 m2. Area of the lawn = 2109 m2. ∴ Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) m2 = 291 m2. Let the width of the road be x metres. Then, 60x + 40x - x2 = 291 ⟹ x2 - 100x + 291 = 0 ⟹ (x - 97)(x - 3) = 0 ⟹ x = 3
