let original radius = r and new radius = (50/100) r = r/2 original area = ?r 2 and new area = ? r / 2 2 decrease in area = 3 ?r 2 / 4 * 1 ?r 2 *100 = 75%
Let the side of the square(ABCD) be x metres. Then, AB + BC = 2x metres. AC = √2x = (1.41x) m. Saving on 2x metres = (0.59x) m. Saving % = ❨ 0.59x x 100 ❩% = 30%
Let the width of the room be x membersThen, its area = (4x) m2Area of each new square room = (2x)m2Let the side of each new room = y metersThen, y2 = 2xClearly, 2x is a complete square when x=2? y2 = 4? y = 2 m .
