Original area = (22/7) x 9 x 9 cm2New area = (22/7) x 7 x 7 cm2? Decrease = 22/7 x [(9)2 -(7)2] cm2=(22/7) x 16 x 2 cm2Decrease percent = [(22/7 x 16 x 2) /( 7/22 x 9 x 9)] x 100 %= 39.5 %
area of the room = 544 x 374 sq.cm size of largest square tile = H.C.F of 544cm and 374 cm= 34 cm area of 1 tile = 34x34 sq cm no. of tiles required = (544 x 374) / (34 x 34) = 176
Let each side of the square be a. Then, area = . a 2 New side = 125 a 100 = 5 a 4 . New area = 5 a 4 2 = 25 a 2 16 Increase in area = 25 a 2 16 - a 2 = 9 a 2 16 Increase% = 9 a 2 16 * 1 a 2 * 100 % = 56.25%.
