Area Problems
The length and breadth of a rectangular piece of land are in the ratio of 5:3, the owner spent Rs.3000 for surrounding it from all the sides at Rs.7.50 per meter. The different between its length and breadth is?
Let Length = 5y meters and breadth = 3y meters.Then, perimeter = 2 x (5y + 3y ) m = 16y meters ...(i)But perimeter = Total Cost / Rate = 3000 / 7.50 m = 400 m ...(ii)from eqs. (i) and (ii)16y = 400? y = 25? Length - Breadth = (5 x 25 - 3 x 25 ) m = 2 x 25 m = 50 m
Let the width of the room be x membersThen, its area = (4x) m2Area of each new square room = (2x)m2Let the side of each new room = y metersThen, y2 = 2xClearly, 2x is a complete square when x=2? y2 = 4? y = 2 m .
area of the room = 544 x 374 sq.cm size of largest square tile = H.C.F of 544cm and 374 cm= 34 cm area of 1 tile = 34x34 sq cm no. of tiles required = (544 x 374) / (34 x 34) = 176
Let base = b and altitude = h Then, Area = b x h But New base = 110b / 100 = 11b / 10Let New altitude = HThen, Decrese = (h - 10h /11 )= h / 11? Required decrease per cent = (h/11) x (1 / h ) x 100 %= 91/11 %
