Area Problems
A rectangle has 15 cm as its length and 150 cm 2 as its area .Its area is increased to 1 1 / 3 times the original area by increasing only its length . Its new perimeter is?
Original circumference = 2?r New circumference = (150 /100) x 2 ?r = 3?r 2?R = 3?r? R = 3r/2 Original area = ?r2New area = ?R2= ?9r2 / 4 = 9?r2/4Increase in area = (9?r2/4 ) - (?r2)= (5/4) ?r2Req. increase per cent = [{(5/4) ?r2} / {?r2}] x 100 = 125 %
Let the radius of the park be r, then?r + 2r = 288(? + 2)r = 288? [(22/7) + 2]r = 288? r = (288 x 7)/36 = 56 ? Area of the park = (1/2)?r2= (1/2) x (22/7) x 56 x 56= 4928
