Area Problems
The length of a rectangular plot is 20 metres more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot @ 26.50 per metre is Rs. 5300, what is the length of the plot in metres?
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 each side of the square be a. Then, area = . a 2 New side = 125 a 100 = 5 a 4 . New area = 5 a 4 2 = 25 a 2 16 Increase in area = 25 a 2 16 - a 2 = 9 a 2 16 Increase% = 9 a 2 16 * 1 a 2 * 100 % = 56.25%.
