Let h be the altitude of triangle.So area of triangle = (1/2)xh area of square = x2From question area of square = area of triangle x2 = (1/2)xh ? h = (2x2)/x = 2x
Let the side of the square = y cmThen, breadth of the rectangle = 3y/2 cm ? Area of rectangle = (40 x 3y/2) cm2= 60y cm2? 60y = 3y2? y = 20Hence, the side of the square = 20 cm
Original area = (22/7) x 9 x 9 cm2New area = (22/7) x 7 x 7 cm2? Decrease = 22/7 x [(9)2 -(7)2] cm2=(22/7) x 16 x 2 cm2Decrease percent = [(22/7 x 16 x 2) /( 7/22 x 9 x 9)] x 100 %= 39.5 %
