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?
Area of the field =1215/135 = 9 hec= 90000 m2 [1 hec =10000 m2]? Side of the field = ?90000 = 300 mPerimeter of the field = 4 x 300 = 1200 mNow, cost of putting a fence around field = (1200 x 75)/100 = ? 900
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
