Area Problems
The ratio between the perimeter and the breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 1. If the area of the rectangle is 216 sq. cm, what is the length of the rectangle?
Let original radius be r.Then, according to the questions,? (r + 1)2 - ?r2 = 22? ? x [(r + 1)2 - r2] = 22? (22/7) x (r + 1 + r ) x (r + 1 - r) = 22? 2r + 1 = 7 ? 2r = 6 ? r = 6/2 = 3 cm
Let the side of the square be 's' cm length of rectangle = (s+5) cm breadth of rectangle = (s-3)cm (s+5) (s-3) = s 2 - 5s - 3s - 15 = s 2 2s = 15 Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L+B) = 2(s+5 + s?3) = 2(2s + 2) = 2(15 + 2) = 34 cm
