Area Problems
The diagonal of the floor of a rectangular closet is 7½ feet. The shorter side of the closet is 4½ feet. What is the area of the closet in square feet?
Let length of rectangular field = 5y,so width = 4y.From question5y - 4y = 20m? x = 20m ? Length = (5 x 20)m = 100 mBreadth = (4 x 20) m = 80 m ? Perimeter = 2 (100 + 80 ) m = 360 m
Area to be plastered = [2(l + b) x h] + (l x b) = {[2(25 + 12) x 6] + (25 x 12)} m2 = (444 + 300) m2 = 744 m2. ∴ Cost of plastering = Rs. ❨ 744 x 75 ❩ = Rs. 558
Original area = ?(d/2)2= (?d2) / 4New area = ?(2d/2)2= ?d2Increase in area = (?d2 - ?d2/4)= 3?d2/4? Required increase percent = [(3?d2)/4 x 4/(?d2) x 100]%= 300%
