Area Problems
The sides of a triangle area in the ratio of 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 and its perimeter is 94 cm. Find the length of the smallest side of the triangle .
Given ratio = 1/3 : 1/4 : 1/5 = 20 : 15 : 12Let length of the sides be 20k, 15k and 12k.Then, according to the question,20k + 15k + 12k = 94? 47k = 94? k = 94/47 = 2Smallest side = 12k = 12 x 2 = 24 cm
Let the radius of circular field = r m.Speed of person in m/s = 30/60 = 1/2m/sAccording to the question,[(2?r) /(1/2)] - [(2r)/(1/2)] = 30? 4?r - 4r = 30? [4 x (22/7) - 4]r =30? (125 - 4)r = 30 ? (8.5)r = 30? r = 30/8.5 = 3.5 m
Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres. Original area = xy sq.m Increased length = 120 100 and Increased breadth = 120 100 New area = 120 100 x * 120 100 y = 36 25 x y m 2 The difference between the Original area and New area is: 36 25 x y - x y 11 25 x y Increase % = 11 25 x y x y * 100 = 44%
