Area Problems
A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered. If the area of the field is 680 sq. feet, how many feet of fencing will be required?
Let length of rectangular field = 5y,so width = 4y.From question5y - 4y = 20m? x = 20m ? Length = (5 x 20)m = 100 mBreadth = (4 x 20) m = 80 m ? Perimeter = 2 (100 + 80 ) m = 360 m
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
Let the side of the square = 100 m So area of square = 100 x 100 = 10000.New length = 140 m, New breadth = 130 mIncrease in area = [(140 x 130) - (100 x 100)] m2= 8200 m2? Required increase percent = (8200/ 10000) x 100 % = 82%
