Area Problems
The ratio between the lenght and the breadth of a rectangle is 2 : 1. If breadth is 5 cm less than the length, what will be the parimeter of the rectangle?
Let original length = x and original breadth = y. Original area = xy. New length = x . 2 New breadth = 3y. New area = ❨ x x 3y ❩ = 3 xy. 2 2 ∴ Increase % = ❨ 1 xy x 1 x 100 ❩% = 50%
