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
Given that, l = 2b [Here l = length and b = breadth]Decrease in length = Half of the 10 cm = 10/2 = 5 cmIncrease in breadth = Half of the 10 cm = 10/2 = 5 cm Increase in the area = (70 + 5) = 75 sq cm According to the question, (l - 5) (b + 5) = lb + 75 ? (2b - 5) (b + 5) = 2b2 + 75 [since l = 2b]? 5b - 25 = 75 ? 5b = 100? b = 100/ 5 = 20? l = 2b = 2 x 20 = 40 cm
Original area = (22/7) x 9 x 9 cm2New area = (22/7) x 7 x 7 cm2? Decrease = 22/7 x [(9)2 -(7)2] cm2=(22/7) x 16 x 2 cm2Decrease percent = [(22/7 x 16 x 2) /( 7/22 x 9 x 9)] x 100 %= 39.5 %
