Area Problems
The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is equal to 14 cm . The lateral side is to the base in the ratio 5 : 4 the area of the triangle is?
Let lateral side = (5y) cm and base = (4y) cm ? perimeter = 5y + 5y + 4y = 14 ?y = 1So, the sides are 5 cm , 5 cm and 4 cm Now s= 1/2 (5 + 5 + 4) cm = 7 cm (s-a) = 2 cm (s-b) = 2 cm and (s-c) = 3 cm? Required Area = ? (7 x 2 x 2 x 3) cm2=2?21 cm2
Area of square room = (10)2 = 100 sq m= 100 x (100)2 sq cm= 100 x 100 x 100 sq cmNow, area of tiles = (50)2 = 50 x 50 sq cm? Number of tiles needed = (Area of square room) / (Area of tile)= (100 x 100 x 100) / (50 x 50) = 400Hence, 400 tiles will be needed.
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 .
According to the question,l/[2(l + b)] = 5/18? 10l + 10b = 18l = 10b? l/b = 10/8 = 5/4? l : b = 5 : 4Hence, ratio of length and breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 4
