Area Problems
The area of a rectangle is thrice that of square. Length of the rectangle is 40 cm and the breadth of the rectangle is ( 3 / 2 ) times that of the side of the square. The side of the square in cm is?
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
Let length of the longer diagonal = d cmThen, length of other diagonal = 0.8 x d cm Area of rhombus = (1/2) x d x 0.8 x d = 2/5 d2= 2/5 d2Area of square of the length of the longer diagonal = d2So the area of the rhombus is 2/5 times the square of the length of the longer diagonal.
Let lateral side = (5y) cm and base = (4y) cm ? perimeter = 5y + 5y + 4y = 14 ?y = 1So, the sides are 5 cm , 5 cm and 4 cm Now s= 1/2 (5 + 5 + 4) cm = 7 cm (s-a) = 2 cm (s-b) = 2 cm and (s-c) = 3 cm? Required Area = ? (7 x 2 x 2 x 3) cm2=2?21 cm2
