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
Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = ❨ 12000 x 8 ❩m = 1600 m. 60 Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres. Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160. ∴ Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m. ∴ Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m2
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
