Area Problems
The length of a plot is four times its breath. A playground measuring 1200 square meters occupies one third of the total area of a plot . what is the length of the plot in meters?
Area of the plot = (3 x 1200) m2= 3600 m2Let breadth = y metersThen Length = 4y meters,Now area = 4y x y = 3600 m2? y2 = 900 m2? y = 30 m? Length of plot = 4y m= (4 x 30) m=120 m
Let length = L and breadth = BLet , New breadth = ZThen, New length = ( 160 / 100) L.= 8L / 5? 8L / 5 x Z = LBor Z = 5B/8Decrease in breadth = (B-5B/8)= 3B/8? Decrease in percent = (3B/8 x1/B ) x 100 %= 371/2%
