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?
speed = 12 km/h = 12 × 5 18 = 10 3 m / s distance covered = 20 × 2 × 22 7 × 50 = 44000 7 m time taken = distance /speed = 44000 7 × 3 10 s e c = 4400 × 3 7 × 1 60 m i n = 220 7 m i n
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
Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = ❨ 12000 x 8 ❩m = 1600 m. 60 Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres. Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160. ∴ Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m. ∴ Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m2
