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
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
let original radius = r and new radius = (50/100) r = r/2 original area = ?r 2 and new area = ? r / 2 2 decrease in area = 3 ?r 2 / 4 * 1 ?r 2 *100 = 75%
Let Length = 5y meters and breadth = 3y meters.Then, perimeter = 2 x (5y + 3y ) m = 16y meters ...(i)But perimeter = Total Cost / Rate = 3000 / 7.50 m = 400 m ...(ii)from eqs. (i) and (ii)16y = 400? y = 25? Length - Breadth = (5 x 25 - 3 x 25 ) m = 2 x 25 m = 50 m
Let one diagonal be k.Then, other diagonal = (60k/100) = 3k/5 cmArea of rhombus =(1/2) x k x (3k/5) = (3/10) = 3/10 (square of longer diagonal)Hence, area of rhombus is 3/10 times.
