Area Problems
The length of the diagonal of a rhombus is 80% of the length of the other diagonal, Then the area of the rhombus is how many times the square of the length of the longer diagonal?
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.
Circular piece is 4 x 11 = 44 cm long, Then Circumference of circle is given by, 44 = pi x D, where D is the diameter D = 44 / pi Take pi = 22 / 7, then D = 44 / (22/7) = (44 x 7) / 22 D = 14 cm.
Area of the park = (60 x 40) m2 = 2400 m2. Area of the lawn = 2109 m2. ∴ Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) m2 = 291 m2. Let the width of the road be x metres. Then, 60x + 40x - x2 = 291 ⟹ x2 - 100x + 291 = 0 ⟹ (x - 97)(x - 3) = 0 ⟹ x = 3
a1 = 68/4 = 17 cmand a2 = 60/4 = 15 cm [ where a1 and a2 are sides]According to the question,Area of the third square = [(17)2 - (15)2 ] = (17 + 15) (17 - 15) = 32 x 2 = 64 sq cmLet a3 = Side of the third square.According to the question, (a3)2 = 64 sq cm ? a3 = ?64 = 8 cm? Perimeter of the third square = 4 x a3 = 4 x 8 = 32 cm.
