Correct Answer: 4:25
Explanation:
let the diagonals of the squares be 2x and 5x respectively
ratio of their areas = = 4:25
Correct Answer: 13 m
Explanation:
The length of the longest pole which can be kept in a room 12 m long, 4 m broad and 3 m high is
=> mts.
Correct Answer: Rs.16500
Explanation:
l=5.5m w=3.75m
area of the floor = 5.5 x 3.75 = 20.625 sq m
cost of paving = 800 x 20.625 = Rs. 16500
Correct Answer: 3cm
Explanation:
r =3
Correct Answer: 24 sq units
Explanation:
We know that,
The area of a triangle with two sides given and included angle
A = 1/2 x product of sides x Sin(angle)
Here the two sides are 8 & 12
Angle = 150
Area = 1/2 x 8 x 12 x sin150
Sin(150) = sin(90+60) = cos(60) = 1/2
A = 48 x 1/2 = 24
Area of the given triangle = 24 sq units.
Correct Answer: 17.60
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Rs. 6000
Explanation:
Total are of all stairs = 50 (20x60 + 30x60)
= 50 (1200 + 1800)
= 50 x 3000
= 150000 sq cm.
Given rate of 100 sq cm = Rs. 4
Then for 150000 sq. cm = ?
=> 4 x 150000/100 = Rs. 6000
Correct Answer: 17.08 cm
Explanation:
Let the length of the rectangle = L cm
Then the breadth of the rectangle = (L - 10) cm
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + B) cm
=> 44 = 2(L + L - 10)
=> 44 = 4L - 20
=> 4L = 64
=> L = 16 cm
=> B = L - 10 = 6 cm
Diagonal = = = 17.08 cm
Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
Let ABC be the isosceles triangle and AD be the altitude
Let AB = AC = x. Then, BC = (32 - 2x).
Since, in an isosceles triangle, the altitude bisects the base,
so BD = DC = (16 - x).
In triangle ADC,
BC = (32- 2x) = (32 - 20) cm = 12 cm.
Hence, required area =
Correct Answer: 0.8%
Explanation:
let x and y be the sides of the rectangle then
correct area =
Error% = %
