Correct Answer: 10m
Explanation:
P = 4 x s
Correct Answer: 140
Explanation:
when folded along the breadth
we have 2(l/2 +b) = 34 or l+2b = 34...........(1)
when folded along the length, we have 2(l+b/2)=38 or 2l+b =38.....(2)
from 1 &2 we get l=14 and b=10
Area of the paper = 14*10 = 140 sq cm
Correct Answer: 75
Explanation:
Area of field = = 96x sq.m
96x = 1440 => x = = 15
Hence, the length of longer parallel side = 5x = 75m
Correct Answer: 814
Explanation:
Length of largest tile = H.C.F. of 1517 cm and 902 cm = 41 cm.
Area of each tile = (41 x 41) sq.cm
Required number of tiles = 1517 x (902/41) x 41 = 814
Correct Answer: 126sq.ft
Explanation:
Let l = 9 ft.
Then l + 2b = 37
=> 2b = 37 ? l = 37 ? 9 = 28
b = 28/2 = 14 ft.
Area = lb = 9 × 14 = 126 sq. ft.
Correct Answer: 5?
Explanation:
Draw the diagram. The diagonal of the rectangle is the diameter of the circle. The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a 3,4,5 triangle and is therefore, 5.
Circumference = ?.diameter = 5?
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
The measure of the third side of a triangle must lie between the sum and the difference of the other two sides. Using this fact along with the answer choices, we can eliminate the wrong answers.
Correct Answer: data is inadequate
Explanation:
Given lb =96
Area of pathway = [(l-4)(b-4)-lb] = 16-4(l+b)
Which cannot be determined. so, data is inadequate.
Correct Answer: 6 m
Explanation:
The edge of the new cube is = => a = 6 m.
Correct Answer: 117
Explanation:
Length = 6 m 24 cm = 624 cm
Width = 4 m 32 cm = 432 cm
HCF of 624 and 432 = 48
Number of square tiles required = (624 x 432)/(48 x 48) = 13 x 9 = 117.
