Area Problems
A cost of cultivating a square field at a rate of ? 135 per hectare is ? 1215. The cost of putting a fence around it at the rate of 75 paise per meter wouldbe
Area of the field =1215/135 = 9 hec= 90000 m2 [1 hec =10000 m2]? Side of the field = ?90000 = 300 mPerimeter of the field = 4 x 300 = 1200 mNow, cost of putting a fence around field = (1200 x 75)/100 = ? 900
We know that area of triangle = ( base x height ) / 2So area of triangle = (BC x AD) / 2 = (AC x BE) / 2 ? (10 x 4.4) / 2 = (11 x h) / 2? h= (10 x 4.4)/11 = 4 cm
Area to be plastered = [2(l + b) x h] + (l x b) = {[2(25 + 12) x 6] + (25 x 12)} m2 = (444 + 300) m2 = 744 m2. ∴ Cost of plastering = Rs. ❨ 744 x 75 ❩ = Rs. 558
Length = (40 x 10 ) dm = 400 dm.Breadth = (15 x 10 ) dm = 150 dm.Area of veranda = (400 x 150 ) dm2Area of one stone = (6 x 5 ) dm2? Required number of stones = (400 x 150) /(6 x 5) = 2000
Original breadth of rectangle = 720/30 = 24 cmNow , area of rectangle = (5/4) x 720 = 900 cm2? New length of rectangle = 900/24 = 37.5 cm? New perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+ b)= 2(37.5 + 24 ) = 2 x 61.5 = 123 cm
