Area Problems
The breadth of a rectangle is 25 m. The total cost of putting a grass bed on this field was ? 12375, at the rate of ? 15 per sq m. What is the length of the rectangular field?
Area to the rectangular field = 12375/15 = 825 sq mAccording to the question, (L x B) = 825 [L = length and B = breadth]? L x 25 = 825 ? L = 825/25 = 33 m
Original circumference = 2?r New circumference = (150 /100) x 2 ?r = 3?r 2?R = 3?r? R = 3r/2 Original area = ?r2New area = ?R2= ?9r2 / 4 = 9?r2/4Increase in area = (9?r2/4 ) - (?r2)= (5/4) ?r2Req. increase per cent = [{(5/4) ?r2} / {?r2}] x 100 = 125 %
