Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres. Original area = xy sq.m Increased length = 120 100 and Increased breadth = 120 100 New area = 120 100 x * 120 100 y = 36 25 x y m 2 The difference between the Original area and New area is: 36 25 x y - x y 11 25 x y Increase % = 11 25 x y x y * 100 = 44%
Let the sides of trapezium be 5k and 3k, respectively According to the question, (1/2) x [(5k + 3k) x 12] = 384? 8k = (384 x 2)/12 = 64 ? k = 64/8 = 8 cmLength of smaller of the parallel sides = 8 x 3 = 24 cm
