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.
Let l = 4k and b = 9kArea of rectangle = l x b144 = 4k x 9k ? k2 = 144/36 ? k2 = 4? k = 2? l = 8 cm and b = 18 cmPerimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)= 2(8 + 18)= 2 x 26= 52 cm
Area of square = 64 sq cm (Side)2 = 64 ? Side = ?64 = 8 cmAccording to the question,? 2?r = 4 x 8 ? r = (4 x 8)/2?? r = 16/?? Area of the circle = ? x (16/?) x (16/?) sq cm = 256/? sq cm.
