Area Problems
The diameter of the driving wheel of a bus is 140 cm. How many revolution, per minute must the wheel make in order to keep a speed of 66 kmph ?
Circumference = No.of revolutions * Distance covered Distance to be covered in 1 min. = (66 X1000)/60 m = 1100 m.Circumference of the wheel = 2 x (22/7) x 0.70 m = 4.4 m.Number of revolutions per min. =(1100/4.4) = 250.
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.
Given ratio = 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 = 20 : 15 : 12Let length of the sides be 20k, 15k and 12k.Then, according to the question,20k + 15k + 12k = 94? 47k = 94? k = 94/47 = 2Smallest side = 12k = 12 x 2 = 24 cm
Let one diagonal be k.Then, other diagonal = (60k/100) = 3k/5 cmArea of rhombus =(1/2) x k x (3k/5) = (3/10) = 3/10 (square of longer diagonal)Hence, area of rhombus is 3/10 times.
