Area Problems
The cost of cultivating a square field at the rate of Rs. 160 per hectare is Rs. 1440. the cost of putting a fence around it at 75 paisa per meter is?
Area = 1440 / 160 hectares = 9 hectares = 90000 m2? One side = ?90000 m = 300 mSo perimeter = 4 x 300 m = 1200 m ? Cost of fencing = Rs (1200 x 75) / 100= Rs. 900
Let length of the longer diagonal = d cmThen, length of other diagonal = 0.8 x d cm Area of rhombus = (1/2) x d x 0.8 x d = 2/5 d2= 2/5 d2Area of square of the length of the longer diagonal = d2So the area of the rhombus is 2/5 times the square of the length of the longer diagonal.
Diagonal of square = ?2a [a = side]4?2 = ?2 a a = 4 cmNow, area of square = a2 = (42) = 16Side of a square whose area is 2 x 16.a12 = 32 ? a1 = ?32 ?a14?2Now, diagonal of new square = ?2a = ?2x 4 ?2 = 8 cm
let the side of the square be x meterslength of two sides = 2x metersdiagonal = 2 x = 1.414x m saving on 2x meters = .59x m saving % = 0 . 59 x 2 x * 100 % = 30% (approx)
