The area of rectangular field is 1440 sq meters and perimeter is 152 metre. Out of length or breadth which one is to be decrease
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

If Length is decreased by 10% then it would become a square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of Rectangular field = 1440 sq. m

Perimeter = 152 m.

We need to find which one needs to be decreased by what percentage to make it a square.

Solution:

Let length be denoted by 'l'.

Also Let width be denoted by 'w'.

Now we know that Area of rectangular field is given by Length times width.

framing in equation form we get;

l\times w = 1440 \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Also we know that Perimeter of rectangular field is given by 2 times sum of  Length and width.

framing in equation form we get;

2(l+w) =152\\\\l+w =\frac{152}{2}\\\\l+w=76\\\\l=76-w \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Now Substituting equation 2 in equation 1 we get;

l\times w =1440\\\\(76-w)w=1440\\\\76w-w^2=1440\\\\w^2-76w+1440 =0

Now we will find the root by factorizing the same we get;

w^2-36w-40w+1440=0\\\\w(w-36)-40(w-36)=0\\\\(w-36)(w-40) =0 \\

Now solving for each to find the value of 'w' we get;

w-36 =0\\\\w=36\\\\also \\\\w-40=0\\\\w=40

So We can say that;

Width = 36 m and Length = 40 m

Now we need to find out of length or breadth which one is to be decreased by what percentage to make it a square.

We know that square has all sides same.

So from the data we found we can say that if length is decreased by 4 then length and breadth(width) both will be equal.

So to find percentage decreased we will divide length to be decreased by total length and then multiply by 100.

framing in equation form we get;

percentage decreased = \frac{4}{40}\times 100 = 10\%

Hence If Length is decreased by 10% then it would become a square.

For what value of k will k+9,2k-1 and 2k+7 are the consecutive terms of an A.P
Stolb23 [73]

k = 18

the common difference d of an arithmetic sequence is

d = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ = ....

a₂ - a₁ = 2k - 1 - k - 9 = k - 10 and

a₃ - a₂ = 2k + 7 - (2k - 1) = 2k + 7 - 2k + 1 = 8, hence

k - 10 = 8 ⇒ k = 8 + 10 = 18

the 3 consecutive terms are

27, 35, 43

Illusion [34]

Answer:

130 centimeters

Completed question;

Todd placed 32 square tiles along the edge of his wooden dining room table, as shown below.

Todd wants to paint a design on the wood along the diagonal shown. If each tile is 13 centimeters on each side, what is the length of the diagonal shown?

A. 182 centimeters

B. 169 centimeters

C. 130 centimeters

D. 91 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the length of diagonal, we have to first find the length of each side;

According to the attached image;

The length consist of 8 tiles

And breadth consist of 6 tiles

Length per tile = 13 centimeters

Length = 8 × 13 = 104 centimeters

Breadth = 6×13 = 78 centimeters

Using Pythagoras theorem;

diagonal length d = √(104^2 + 78^2)

d = 130 centimeters
