let the side of the square be x meterslength of two sides = 2x metersdiagonal = 2 x = 1.414x m saving on 2x meters = .59x m saving % = 0 . 59 x 2 x * 100 % = 30% (approx)
Let original length = x and original breadth = y. Decrease in area = xy - ❨ 80 x x 90 y ❩ 100 100 = ❨ xy - 18 xy ❩ 25 = 7 xy. 25 ∴ Decrease % = ❨ 7 xy x 1 x 100 ❩% = 28%
Let a = 13, b = 14 and c = 15. Then, s = 1 2 a + b + c =21 (s- a) = 8, (s - b) = 7 and (s - c) = 6. Area = s s - a s - b s - c = 21 × 8 × 7 × 6 = 84 sq.cm
