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
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: 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: l=64;b=16
Explanation:
P=2(l+b)
l=4b
Correct Answer: 10m
Explanation:
P = 4 x s
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.
Correct Answer: 720
Explanation:
Let the number of bricks be 'N'
10 x 4/100 x 6 x 90/100 = 25/100 x 15/100 x 8/100 x N
10 x 4 x 6 x 90 = 15 x 2 x N => N = 720.
Correct Answer: 9 cm
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
let the inner and outer radii be r and R meters
then,
= 352/7
=> r = (352/7) * (7/22) * (1/2) = 8m
= 528/7
=> R= (528/7) * (7/22) * (1/2)= 12m
width of the ring = R-r = 12-8 = 4m
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
side of first square = 40/4 =10cm
side of second square = 32/4 = 8cm
area of third squre = 10² - 8² = 36 sq cm
side of third square = = 6 cm
required perimeter = 6*4 = 24cm
