Area Problems
The cost of fencing a square field @ Rs. 20 per metre is Rs.10.080.How much will it cost to lay a three meter wide pavement along the fencing inside the field @ Rs. 50 per sq m
perimeter = total cost / cost per m = 10080 /20 = 504mside of the square = 504/4 = 126mbreadth of the pavement = 3mside of inner square = 126 - 6 = 120marea of the pavement = (126 x126) - (120 x 120) = 246 x 6 sq mcost of pavement = 246*6*50 = Rs. 73800
Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = ❨ 12000 x 8 ❩m = 1600 m. 60 Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres. Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160. ∴ Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m. ∴ Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m2
Area of the plot = (3 x 1200) m2= 3600 m2Let breadth = y metersThen Length = 4y meters,Now area = 4y x y = 3600 m2? y2 = 900 m2? y = 30 m? Length of plot = 4y m= (4 x 30) m=120 m
Original area = (22/7) x 9 x 9 cm2New area = (22/7) x 7 x 7 cm2? Decrease = 22/7 x [(9)2 -(7)2] cm2=(22/7) x 16 x 2 cm2Decrease percent = [(22/7 x 16 x 2) /( 7/22 x 9 x 9)] x 100 %= 39.5 %
