Area Problems
The cross section of a canal is a trapezium in shape . If the canal is a trapezium in shape. If the canal is 10 meters wide at the top and 6 meters wide at bottom and the area of cross section is 640 sq. meters The depth of canal is?
Cross section area = 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d where a and b are the parallel sides, d is the perpendicular distance between them.? 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d = 640? d = (640 x 2) / 16 = 80m
According to the question, Area of semi- circle = 77 m(1/2) x ? x r2 = 77? r2 = (77 x 2 x 7)/22? r = 7m ?Circumference of semi- circle =?r + 2r= ( ? + 2)r = [(22/7) + 2] x 7 = 36 m
