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 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 .
Area of the room=(544 * 374) size of largest square tile= H.C.F of 544 & 374 = 34 cm Area of 1 tile = (34 x 34) c m 2 Number of tiles required== [(544 x 374) / (34 x 34)] = 176
