let original radius = r and new radius = (50/100) r = r/2 original area = ?r 2 and new area = ? r / 2 2 decrease in area = 3 ?r 2 / 4 * 1 ?r 2 *100 = 75%
Let the radius of the park be r, then?r + 2r = 288(? + 2)r = 288? [(22/7) + 2]r = 288? r = (288 x 7)/36 = 56 ? Area of the park = (1/2)?r2= (1/2) x (22/7) x 56 x 56= 4928
