Let original length = x and original breadth = y. Decrease in area = xy - ❨ 80 x x 90 y ❩ 100 100 = ❨ xy - 18 xy ❩ 25 = 7 xy. 25 ∴ Decrease % = ❨ 7 xy x 1 x 100 ❩% = 28%
Let l = 4k and b = 9kArea of rectangle = l x b144 = 4k x 9k ? k2 = 144/36 ? k2 = 4? k = 2? l = 8 cm and b = 18 cmPerimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)= 2(8 + 18)= 2 x 26= 52 cm
