Areas
Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = \(\left(\frac{12000}{60}\times8\right)\) = 1600m.
Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.
Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.
So, Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.
So, Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m2.
100 cm is read as 102 cm.
So, A1 = (100 x 100) cm2 and A2 (102 x 102) cm2.
(A2 - A1) = [(102)2 - (100)2]
= (102 + 100) x (102 - 100)
= 404 cm2
So, Percentage error = \(\left(\frac{404}{100\times100}\times100\right)\) % = 4.04%
\(\frac{2(l+b)}{b}=\frac{5}{1}\)
2l + 2b = 5b
3b = 2l
b= \(\frac{2}{3}l\)
Then, Area = 216 cm2
l x b = 216
\(l\times\frac{2}{3}l=216\)
l2 = 324
l = 18 cm.
Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres.
Original area = (xy) m2.
New length = \(\left(\frac{120}{100}x\right)m=\left(\frac{6}{5}x\right)m.\)
New breadth = \(\left(\frac{120}{100}y\right)m=\left(\frac{6}{5}y\right)m.\)
New Area = \(\left(\frac{6}{5}x\times\frac{6}{5}y\right)m^{2}.=\left(\frac{36}{25}xy\right)m^{2}\)
The difference between the original area = xy and new-area 36/25 xy is
= (36/25)xy - xy
= xy(36/25 - 1)
= xy(11/25) or (11/25)xy
So, Increase % = \(\left(\frac{11}{25}xy\times\frac{1}{xy}\times100\right)\) %= 44%
Area of the park = (60 x 40) m2 = 2400 m2.
Area of the lawn = 2109 m2.
Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) m2 = 291 m2.
Let the width of the road be x metres. Then,
60x + 40x - x2 = 291
x2 - 100x + 291 = 0
(x - 97)(x - 3) = 0
x = 3.
Other side = \(\sqrt{\left(\frac{15}{2}\right)^{2}-\left(\frac{9}{2} \right)^{2}ft}\)
= \(\sqrt{\frac{225}{4}-\frac{81}{4}ft}\)
= \(\sqrt{\frac{144}{4} ft}\)
6.ft.
So, Area of closet = (6 x 4.5) sq. ft = 27 sq. ft.
Let original length = x and original breadth = y.
Decrease in area = \(xy-\left(\frac{80}{100}x\times\frac{90}{100}y\right)\)
= \(\left(xy-\frac{18}{25}xy\right)\)
= \(\frac{7}{25}xy\)
So, Decrease % = \(\left(\frac{7}{25}xy\times\frac{1}{xy}\times100\right)\) % = 28%
\(\sqrt{l^{2}+b^{2}}\)
Also, lb = 20.
(l + b)2 = (l2 + b2) + 2lb = 41 + 40 = 81
(l + b) = 9.
Perimeter = 2(l + b) = 18 cm.
