Area Problems
The base of a triangular field is three times its altitude. If the cost of cultivating the field at Rs. 24.68 per hectare be Rs. 333.18, find its base and height.
Area of the field = Total cost/rate = (333.18/25.6) = 13.5 hectares 13 . 5 * 10000 m 2 = 135000 m 2 Let altitude = x metres and base = 3x metres.Then, 1 2 * 3 x * x = 135000 ? x 2 = 90000 ? x = 300 Base = 900 m and Altitude = 300 m.
Let the longer side = l, shorter side = b and diagonal = dThen, area of rectangular carpet = l x b = 60 ....(1) And from question d + l = 5b? d = 5b - l ...(2)? d2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb? l2+ b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb? l2+b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x 60? 24b2 = 600? b = ?25 = 5 m? l = 60 / b = 60 / 5 = 12 m
Area of square = (Side)2 = 202= 400 sq cm ? Area of rectangle = 1.8 x 400 = 720 sq cm Let length and breadth of rectangle be 5k and k respectively.Then, according to the question, 5k x k = 720? 5k2 = 720 ? k2 = 720/5 = 144? k = ?144 = 12 cm Perimeter of rectangle = 2(5k + k) = 12k= 12 x12 = 144 cm
Circular piece is 4 x 11 = 44 cm long, Then Circumference of circle is given by, 44 = pi x D, where D is the diameter D = 44 / pi Take pi = 22 / 7, then D = 44 / (22/7) = (44 x 7) / 22 D = 14 cm.
