Correct Answer: 1:2
Explanation:
ratio =
Correct Answer: 7744
Explanation:
length of wire =
= 2 x (22/7 ) x 56 = 352 cm
side of the square = 352/4 = 88cm
area of the square = 88 x 88 = 7744sq cm
Correct Answer: 30%
Explanation:
let the side of the square be x meters
length of two sides = 2x meters
diagonal =
= 1.414x m
saving on 2x meters = .59x m
saving % = %
= 30% (approx)
Correct Answer: 44%
Explanation:
Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres.
Original area = xy sq.m
Increased length = and Increased breadth =
New area =
The difference between the Original area and New area is:
Increase % = = 44%
Correct Answer: 336
Explanation:
let ABCD be the given parallelogram
area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x (area of triangle ABC)
now a = 30m, b = 14m and c = 40m
s=1/2 x (30+14+40) = 42
Area of triangle ABC =
= = 168sq m
area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x 168 = 336 sq m
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
let ABC be the isosceles triangle, the AD be the altitude
Let AB = AC = x then BC= 32-2x [because parameter = 2 (side) + Base]
since in an isoceles triange the altitude bisects the base so
BD = DC = 16-x
In a triangle ADC,
BC = 32-2x = 32-20 = 12 cm
Hence, required area = = = 60 sq cm
Correct Answer: B=900;H=300
Explanation:
Area of the field = Total cost/rate = (333.18/25.6) = 13.5 hectares
Let altitude = x metres and base = 3x metres.
Then,
Base = 900 m and Altitude = 300 m.
