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.
According to the question,l/[2(l + b)] = 5/18? 10l + 10b = 18l = 10b? l/b = 10/8 = 5/4? l : b = 5 : 4Hence, ratio of length and breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 4
Area of a triangle formed by joining the mid point of the sides of the triangle is 1/4th of area of the original triangle .So area of ? DEF = 36/ 4 = 9 m2
Area of 4 walls = 2(l+b)h=2(10+7) x 5 = 170 sq mArea of 2 doors and 3 windows = 2(1x3)+(2x1.5)+2(1x1.5) = 12 sq marea to be planted = 170 -12 = 158 sq m Cost of painting = Rs. 158 x 3 = Rs. 474
