20: Area of Trapezium and a Polygon Class 8 Maths
- #19The length and the breadth of a conference hall are in the ratio 7 : 4 and its perimeter is 110 m. Find: (i) area of the floor of the hall. (ii) number of tiles, each a rectangle of size 25 cm x 20 cm, required for flooring of the hall. (iii) the cost of the tiles at the rate of ₹ 1,400 per hundred tiles. (i) area of the floor of the hall. (ii) number of tiles, each a rectangle of size 25 cm x 20 cm, required for flooring of the hall. (iii) the cost of the tiles at the rate of ₹ 1,400 per hundred tiles.Ans : Ratio in length and breadth = 7 : 4
Perimeter = 110 m
∴ Length + Breadth = 110/2 = 55m
Sum of ratios = 7 + 4 = 11
∴ Length = (55 × 7)/11
= 35 m
And Breadth = (55 × 4)/11
= 20m (i) Area of floor = l × b
= 35 × 20
= 700 m2 (ii) Size of tile = 25 cm × 20 cm
= (25 × 20)/(100 × 100)
= 1/20 m2
∴ Number of tiles = Area of floor/Area of one tile
= (700 × 20)/1
= 14000 (iii) Cost of tiles = ₹1400 per 100 tiles
∴ Total cost = (14000 × 1400)/100
= ₹196000 (i) Area of floor = l × b
= 35 × 20
= 700 m2 (ii) Size of tile = 25 cm × 20 cm
= (25 × 20)/(100 × 100)
= 1/20 m2
∴ Number of tiles = Area of floor/Area of one tile
= (700 × 20)/1
= 14000 (iii) Cost of tiles = ₹1400 per 100 tiles
∴ Total cost = (14000 × 1400)/100
= ₹196000
- #19-iarea of the floor of the hall.Ans : Area of floor = l × b
= 35 × 20
= 700 m2
- #19-iinumber of tiles, each a rectangle of size 25 cm x 20 cm, required for flooring of the hall.Ans : Size of tile = 25 cm × 20 cm
= (25 × 20)/(100 × 100)
= 1/20 m2
∴ Number of tiles = Area of floor/Area of one tile
= (700 × 20)/1
= 14000
- #19-iiithe cost of the tiles at the rate of ₹ 1,400 per hundred tiles.Ans : Cost of tiles = ₹1400 per 100 tiles
∴ Total cost = (14000 × 1400)/100
= ₹196000
