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: 27
Explanation:
Other side = = = = 6 ft
Area of closet = (6 x 4.5) sq. ft = 27 sq. ft.
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: 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: 17.60
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 42
Explanation:
required area = [14 x 14 - (4 x 1/4 x 22/7 x 7 x 7) ]sq.cm
= 196 - 154 = 42 sq.cm.
Correct Answer: 56m
Explanation:
perimeter of the plot = 2(90+50) = 280m
no of poles =280/5 =56m
Correct Answer: 315
Explanation:
Let the areas of the two parts be x and (700-x) hectares
therefore,
So, the two parts are 385 and 315.
Hence, Area of the smaller = 315 hectares
Correct Answer: 8
Correct Answer: 1:1
