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
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%
