Area Problems
The area of a trapezium is 384 sq.cm. If its parallel sides in ratio 3 : 5 and the perpendicular distance between them be 12 cm. The smaller of parallel sides is?
Let the parallel sides be 3a and 5a.So Area of trapezium = 1/2 x sum of parallel side x perpendicular distance between them.? 1/2 (3a +5a) x 12 = 384? 8a = 64? a =8? Smaller side = 3x = 3 x 8 = 24 cm.
Length of carpet = Total Cost / Rate = 3600 / 30 = 120 mArea of carpet = (120 x 75) / 100 m2= 90 m2? Area of the room = 90 m2Breadth of the room = Area /Length = 90 / 15 m = 6m
