66/7 sq cm. Find the radius of the circle.

Sol: let the radius of the circle be r cm. Then
r²ø/360 =66/7=> 22/7*r²*120/360 = 66/7 =>r² = 66/7 *7/22*3 =9
radius = 3cm

27.A rectangular plot measuring 90 meters by 50 meters is to be 
enclosed by wire fencing. If the poles of the fence are kept 5 meters
apart. How many poles will be needed?

Sol: perimeter of the plot = 2(90+50) = 280m
no of poles =280/5 =56m


28.The length of a rectangular plot is 20 meters more than its breadth.
If the cost of fencing the plot @ 26.50 per meter is Rs. 5300. What is
the length of the plot in meter?

Sol: let breadth =x then length = x+20
perimeter = 5300/26.50 =200m
2(x+20+x) =200 => 4x+40 =200
x = 40 and length = 40+20 = 60m


29.A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of
20 feet uncovered. If the area of the field is 680 sq feet, how many 
feet of fencing will be required?

Sol: l=20feet and l*b=680 => b= 680/20 = 34feet
length of fencing = l+2b = 20+68 =88 feet

30.A rectangular paper when folded into two congruent parts had a 
perimeter of 34cm foer each part folded along one set of sides and
the same is 38cm. When folded along the other set of sides. What is
the area of the paper?

Sol: 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


31.A took 15 seconds to cross a rectangular field diagonally walking at
the rate of 52 m/min and B took the same time to cross the same field 
along its sides walking at the rate of 68m/min. The area of the field is?

Sol: length of the diagonal = 52*15/60 =13m
sum of length and breadth = 68*15/60 = 17m
√(l²+b²)=13 or l+b = 17
area =lb = ½ (2lb) = ½[(l+b)² – (l²+b²)] = ½[17² -169]
=1/2*120 = 60 sq meter 

32 . A rectangular lawn 55m by 35m has two roads each 4m wide running in 
the middle of it. One parallel to the length and the other parallel to 
breadth. The cost of graveling the roads at 75 paise per sq meter is

sol: area of cross roads = 55*4 +35*4-4*4 = 344sq m
cost of graveling = 344 *75/100 =Rs. 258


33.The cost of fencing a square field @ Rs. 20 per metre is Rs.10.080.
How much will it cost to lay a three meter wide pavement along the 
fencing inside the field @ Rs. 50 per sq m 

sol: perimeter = total cost / cost per m = 10080 /20 = 504m
side of the square = 504/4 = 126m
breadth of the pavement = 3m
side of inner square = 126-6 = 120m
area of the pavement = (126*126)-(120*120)=246”*6 sq m
cost of pavement = 246*6*50 = Rs. 73800


34.Amanwalked diagonally across a square plot. Approximately what was 
the percent saved by not walking along the edges?

Sol: let the side of the square be x meters
length of two sides = 2x meters 
diagonal = √2 x = 1.414x m
saving on 2x meters = .59x m
saving % = 0.59x /2x *100%
= 30% (approx)

36.A man walking at the speed of 4 kmph crosses a square field 
diagonally in 3 meters.The area of the field is 

sol: speed of the man = 4*5/18 m/sec = 10/9 m/sec
time taken = 3*60 sec = 180 sec
length of diagonal = speed * time = 10/9 * 180 = 200m
Area of the field = ½ *(dioagonal)²
= ½ * 200*200 sq m = 20000sq m

37.A square and rectangle have equal areas. If their perimeters
are p and q respectively. Then 

sol: A square and a rectangle with equal areas will satisfy the 
relation p < q 
<font size=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="areas.html"><b>Top</b></a></font>

then the area a & b enclosed by them would satisfy the condition:

sol: Take a square of side 4cm and a rectangle having l=6cm and 
b=2cm
then perimeter of square = perimeter of rectangle
area of square = 16 sq cm 
area of rectangle = 12 sq cm
Hence a >b

39.An error of 2% in excess is made while measuring the side of a 
square. The percentage of error in the calculated area of the 
square is

sol: 100cm is read as 102 cm
a = 100*100 sq cm and b = 102 *102 sq cm
then a-b = 404 sq cm
percentage error = 404/(100*100) = 4.04%


40.A tank is 25m long 12m wide and 6m deep. The cost of plastering 
its walls and bottom at 75 paise per sq m is

sol: area to be plastered = [2(l+b)*h]+(l*b)

The cost of painting the walls at Rs. 3 per sq m is 

sol: Area of 4 walls = 2(l+b)*h
=2(10+7)*5 = 170 sq m
Area of 2 doors and 3 windows = 2(1*3)+(2*1.5)+2(1*1.5) = 12 sq m
area to be planted = 170 -12 = 158 sq m
cost of painting = Rs. 158 *3 = Rs. 474

another triangle of double the area having the base 20cm is

sol: a = ½ *15*12 = 90 sq cm
b = 2a = 2 * 90 = ½ * 20 *h => h= 18cm

43.The sides of a triangle are in the ratio of ½:1/3:1/4. If the 
perimeter is 52cm, then the length of the smallest side is

sol: ratio of sides = ½ :1/3 :1/4 = 6:4:3
perimeter = 52 cm, so sides are 52*6/13 =24cm
52*4/13 = 16cm
52 *3/13 = 12cm
length of smallest side = 12cm


44.The height of an equilateral triangle is 10cm. Its area is

sol: a² = (a/2)² +(10)² 
a² – a²/4 = 100 =>3a² = 100*4
area = √3/4 *a² = √3/4*400/3 = 100/√3 sq cm

45.From a point in the interior of an equilateral triangle, the 
perpendicular distance of the sides are √3 cm, 2√3cm and 
5√3cm. The perimeter of the triangle is

sol: let each side of the triangle be ‘a’ cm
then area(AOB) +area(BOC)+area(AOC) = area(ABC)
½ * a *√3 +1/2 *a *2√3 +1/2 * a*5√3 = √3/4 a ² 
a/2√3(1+2+5) = √3/4 a ² => a=16
perimeter = 3*16 = 48cm

Sol: area = ½*diagonal 1 *diagonal 2= ½ * 24 * 10= 120 sq cm
½ * diagonal 1 = ½ * 24 = 12cm
½ * diagonal 2 = ½ *10 =5 cm
side of a rhombus = (12) ² + (5) ² = 169 => AB = 13cm

longer parallel side is:

sol: area of field =1/2 *(5x+3x) *24 = 96x sq m
96x = 1440 => x = 1440 /96 = 15
hence, the length of longer parallel side = 5x = 75m

                                            = 880/7 cm
required no of revolutions = 17600 *7/880 = 140

<font size=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="areas.html"><b>Top</b></a></font>

directions. Both of them make the same number of revolutions per 
second. If both of them meet after 10seconds.The speed of the 
smaller wheel is 

sol: let each wheel make x revolutions per sec. Then
(2 *7/2 *x)+(2 * 7*x)*10 = 1980
(22/7 *7 * x) + (2 * 22/7 *7 *x) = 198
66x = 198 => x = 3
distance moved by smaller wheel in 3 revolutions 
        = 2 *22/7 *7/2 *3 = 66cm
speed of smaller wheel = 66/3 m/s = 22m/s
