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
Let the width of the room be x membersThen, its area = (4x) m2Area of each new square room = (2x)m2Let the side of each new room = y metersThen, y2 = 2xClearly, 2x is a complete square when x=2? y2 = 4? y = 2 m .
Length of carpet = Total Cost / Rate = 3600 / 30 = 120 mArea of carpet = (120 x 75) / 100 m2= 90 m2? Area of the room = 90 m2Breadth of the room = Area /Length = 90 / 15 m = 6m
