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.
Area of the square field = 1 hectare = 10000 m2Side of the square = ? 10000 m = 100 mSide of another square field = 100 + 1 = 101 m? Required difference of area = [(101)2 - (100)2] m2=[(101 + 100 ) (101 - 100) ] m2= 201 m2
Let length of rectangle = 5kand breadth of rectangle = 3kAccording to the quecation,5k - 3k = 8 ? 2k =8? k = 4? Lenght = 5k = 5 x 4 = 20 mBreadth = 3k = 3 x 4 = 12 m? Required area = Lenght x Breadth = 20 x 12 = 240 sq m
