Cross section area = 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d where a and b are the parallel sides, d is the perpendicular distance between them.? 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d = 640? d = (640 x 2) / 16 = 80m
Length = (40 x 10 ) dm = 400 dm.Breadth = (15 x 10 ) dm = 150 dm.Area of veranda = (400 x 150 ) dm2Area of one stone = (6 x 5 ) dm2? Required number of stones = (400 x 150) /(6 x 5) = 2000
Original area = ?(d/2)2= (?d2) / 4New area = ?(2d/2)2= ?d2Increase in area = (?d2 - ?d2/4)= 3?d2/4? Required increase percent = [(3?d2)/4 x 4/(?d2) x 100]%= 300%
