Let length of rectangle = 5kand breadth of rectangle = 3kAccording to the quecation,5k - 3k = 8 ? 2k =8? k = 4? Lenght = 5k = 5 x 4 = 20 mBreadth = 3k = 3 x 4 = 12 m? Required area = Lenght x Breadth = 20 x 12 = 240 sq m
Area of the carpet = Area of the room = 8 x 6 = 48 sq mWidth of the carpet = 75/100 = 3/4 mLength of the carpet = 48 x (4/3) = 16 x 4 = 64 m? Cost of carpeting = 64 x 20 = ? 1280
Let the sides of trapezium be 5k and 3k, respectively According to the question, (1/2) x [(5k + 3k) x 12] = 384? 8k = (384 x 2)/12 = 64 ? k = 64/8 = 8 cmLength of smaller of the parallel sides = 8 x 3 = 24 cm
