Area Problems
The area of a rectangular field is 15 time the sum of its length and breadth. If the length of that field is 40 m, what is the breadth of that field?
According to the question,l/[2(l + b)] = 5/18? 10l + 10b = 18l = 10b? l/b = 10/8 = 5/4? l : b = 5 : 4Hence, ratio of length and breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 4
Let area 100 m2Then, side = 10 m New side = 125 % of 10= (125/100) x 10= 12.5 m New area = 12.5 x 12.5 m2=(12.5)2 sq. m? Increase in area = (12.5)2 - (10)2 m2= 22.5 x 2.5 m2=56.25 m2% Increase = 56.25 %
