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?
According to the question,l/[2(l + b)] = 5/18? 10l + 10b = 18l = 10b? l/b = 10/8 = 5/4? l : b = 5 : 4Hence, ratio of length and breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 4
Area of a triangle formed by joining the mid point of the sides of the triangle is 1/4th of area of the original triangle .So area of ? DEF = 36/ 4 = 9 m2
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
