Area Problems
The question given below contain two statements giving certain data. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question ? Question : What is the height of a right-angled triangle ? Statements : A. The area of the triangle is 20 times its base. B. The perimeter of the triangle is equal to that of a square of the side 10 cm.
perimeter = total cost / cost per m = 10080 /20 = 504mside of the square = 504/4 = 126mbreadth of the pavement = 3mside of inner square = 126 - 6 = 120marea of the pavement = (126 x126) - (120 x 120) = 246 x 6 sq mcost of pavement = 246*6*50 = Rs. 73800
Let breadth = b meters. then, length = 3b/2 meters ? b x 3b/2 = 2/3 X 10000? b2 = (4 x 10000)/9? b = ( 2 X 100)/3 m ? Length = (3/2) x (2/3) x 100 m= 100 m
