Area Problems
The sides of a triangle area in the ratio of 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 and its perimeter is 94 cm. Find the length of the smallest side of the triangle .
Given ratio = 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 = 20 : 15 : 12Let length of the sides be 20k, 15k and 12k.Then, according to the question,20k + 15k + 12k = 94? 47k = 94? k = 94/47 = 2Smallest side = 12k = 12 x 2 = 24 cm
The man takes 3600 s for 14.4 km The man will take 88 s for 14.4 x (88/3600) = 352/1000 km = 352 m Now, circumference of circular field = 352 m ? 2?r = 352 m2 x (22/7) x r = 352 ? r = 56 m Therefore, area of the field = ?r2= (22/7) x 56 x 56 = 8 x 22 x 56 m2= 9856 sq m.
Let each side of the square be a. Then, area = . a 2 New side = 125 a 100 = 5 a 4 . New area = 5 a 4 2 = 25 a 2 16 Increase in area = 25 a 2 16 - a 2 = 9 a 2 16 Increase% = 9 a 2 16 * 1 a 2 * 100 % = 56.25%.
