The perimeter of a square is twice the perimeter of a rectangle that has a length of 8 cm and a breadth of 7 cm. Calculate the circumference of a semi-circle whose diameter is equivalent to the side of this square (round to two decimal places).
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle. Perimeter_rectangle = 2 * (length + breadth) = 2 * (8 cm + 7 cm) = 2 * 15 cm = 30 cm. Step 2: Calculate the perimeter of the square. Perimeter_square = 2 * Perimeter_rectangle = 2 * 30 cm = 60 cm. Step 3: Determine the side length of the square. Side_square = Perimeter_square / 4 = 60 cm / 4 = 15 cm. Step 4: The diameter of the semi-circle is equal to the side of the square. Diameter_semicircle = 15 cm. Step 5: Calculate the radius of the semi-circle. Radius_semicircle = Diameter_semicircle / 2 = 15 cm / 2 = 7.5 cm. Step 6: Calculate the circumference of the semi-circle. The circumference of a semi-circle is (πr + D), where D is the diameter (the straight edge). Circumference_semicircle = (π * Radius_semicircle) + Diameter_semicircle. Using π ≈ 22/7: Circumference_semicircle = (22/7 * 7.5) + 15. Circumference_semicircle = (165/7) + 15. Circumference_semicircle = 23.5714... + 15 = 38.5714... cm. The given solution uses only `(22/7 * 15/2)` which is `pi * r`, which is half the circumference of a full circle. For a semi-circle's circumference, the diameter must also be added. If the options imply 'arc length only', then `(pi*r)` is appropriate. Given the correct answer is 23.57 cm, it refers to the arc length only (πr). Step 7: Re-calculating arc length only: Arc_length = π * Radius_semicircle = (22/7) * 7.5 cm = 165/7 cm. Step 8: Convert to decimal and round: 165 / 7 ≈ 23.57 cm (rounded to two decimal places).

What is the circumference of a circle if its area is 24.64 square meters?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Given the area of the circle = 24.64 m². Step 2: Use the formula for the area of a circle: Area = π * R², where R is the radius. Step 3: Substitute the given area into the formula: (22/7) * R² = 24.64. Step 4: Solve for R²: R² = 24.64 * (7/22) = 7.84. Step 5: Calculate the radius (R) by taking the square root: R = sqrt(7.84) = 2.8 m. Step 6: Use the formula for the circumference of a circle: Circumference = 2 * π * R. Step 7: Substitute the calculated radius: Circumference = 2 * (22/7) * 2.8 Circumference = (44/7) * 2.8 Circumference = 44 * 0.4 = 17.60 m.

A rectangular field has a diagonal of 15 meters, and the difference between its length and width is 3 meters. What is the area of this field?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Define variables for length and breadth and set up equations. Let length = 'l' and breadth = 'b'. Given: Diagonal = 15 m. By Pythagorean theorem, l² + b² = 15² => l² + b² = 225. (Equation 1) Given: l - b = 3 m. (Assuming length > breadth) (Equation 2) Step 2: Use algebraic identity to find 'lb'. Square Equation 2: (l - b)² = 3² l² + b² - 2lb = 9 Step 3: Substitute Equation 1 into the expanded Equation 2. 225 - 2lb = 9 2lb = 225 - 9 2lb = 216 lb = 216 / 2 = 108 Step 4: The area of the rectangular field is 'lb'. Area = 108 sq. m.

The cost of fencing a circular plot is Rs. 3300, at a rate of Rs. 15 per meter. What will be the cost of flooring this plot at a rate of Rs. 100 per square meter?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Calculate the circumference of the circular plot from the fencing cost. Circumference = Total Fencing Cost / Rate per meter. Step 2: Circumference C = Rs. 3300 / Rs. 15/meter = 220 meters. Step 3: Use the circumference formula C = 2 * pi * R to find the radius R of the plot. Step 4: 220 = 2 * (22/7) * R. Step 5: Solve for R: R = (220 * 7) / (2 * 22) = (220 * 7) / 44 = 5 * 7 = 35 meters. Step 6: Calculate the area of the circular plot. Area = pi * R^2. Step 7: Area = (22/7) * (35)^2 = (22/7) * 1225 = 22 * 175 = 3850 sq. meters. Step 8: Calculate the cost of flooring the plot. Flooring Cost = Area * Rate per square meter. Step 9: Flooring Cost = 3850 sq. meters * Rs. 100/sq. meter = Rs. 385000.

Convert the angle 11°15' to its equivalent circular measure (radians).
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Convert the minutes portion of the angle to degrees. Since 1 degree = 60 minutes, 15' = 15/60 degrees. 15/60 = 1/4 = 0.25 degrees. Step 2: Add this to the whole degree part to get the total angle in decimal degrees: 11°15' = 11° + 0.25° = 11.25°. Step 3: Recall the conversion factor from degrees to radians: π radians = 180°, so 1° = π/180 radians. Step 4: Multiply the angle in degrees by the conversion factor: 11.25° = 11.25 × (π/180) radians. Step 5: Convert 11.25 to a fraction: 11.25 = 11 + 1/4 = 45/4. Step 6: Substitute the fractional value into the conversion: (45/4) × (π/180) radians. Step 7: Simplify the fraction: (45π) / (4 × 180). Since 180 = 4 × 45, we have: = π / (4 × 4) = π/16 radians. Step 8: Final result: π/16 radians.

A rectangular plank, with a width of sqrt(2) meters, is positioned symmetrically on the diagonal of an 8-meter side square. What is the area of this plank?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Calculate the length of the diagonal of the square. Diagonal AC = side * sqrt(2) = 8 * sqrt(2) meters. Step 2: Let 'x' be the side length of the small isosceles right triangles formed at each corner of the square where the plank begins (e.g., AP = AQ = x). The width of the plank, PQ, forms the hypotenuse of such a triangle. So, PQ = sqrt(x^2 + x^2) = x * sqrt(2). Step 3: Given the width of the plank is sqrt(2) meters, set x * sqrt(2) = sqrt(2). This gives x = 1 meter. Step 4: The length along the square's diagonal, from a corner (A) to the point where the plank starts (T, as per solution's implicit diagram), is the altitude of the isosceles right triangle APQ, which is AT = x / sqrt(2) = 1 / sqrt(2) meters. Step 5: The effective length of the plank along the diagonal is the total diagonal length minus these two end segments. Length of plank (L) = AC - 2 * AT = 8 * sqrt(2) - 2 * (1 / sqrt(2)). Step 6: Simplify the plank's length: L = 8 * sqrt(2) - sqrt(2) = 7 * sqrt(2) meters. Step 7: Calculate the area of the plank. Area = Length * Width = (7 * sqrt(2)) * (sqrt(2)) = 7 * 2 = 14 sq. meters.

A circle and a rectangle have identical perimeters. The dimensions of the rectangle are 18 cm and 26 cm. What is the area of the circle?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle. Perimeter_rectangle = 2 * (length + breadth) = 2 * (26 cm + 18 cm) = 2 * 44 cm = 88 cm. Step 2: Since the circle and rectangle have the same perimeter, the circumference of the circle (C) is 88 cm. Step 3: Use the formula for the circumference of a circle: C = 2 * pi * R, where R is the radius. Substitute C = 88 and pi = 22/7. Step 4: 88 = 2 * (22/7) * R. Step 5: Solve for R: R = (88 * 7) / (2 * 22) = (88 * 7) / 44 = 2 * 7 = 14 cm. Step 6: Calculate the area of the circle using the formula: Area_circle = pi * R^2. Step 7: Substitute the values: Area_circle = (22/7) * (14 cm)^2 = (22/7) * 196 cm^2. Step 8: Area_circle = 22 * 28 cm^2 = 616 cm^2.

A figure displays three squares placed side-by-side, with areas of 100, 16, and 49 respectively. To achieve a total length PQ of 19 for these three squares, by how much must the area of the middle square be reduced?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Calculate the side lengths of the original three squares from their given areas. * Side1 (s1) = sqrt(100) = 10 units. * Side2 (s2) = sqrt(16) = 4 units. * Side3 (s3) = sqrt(49) = 7 units. Step 2: Determine the initial total length PQ when the squares are placed side-by-side. Initial PQ = s1 + s2 + s3 = 10 + 4 + 7 = 21 units. Step 3: The desired total length PQ is 19 units. Step 4: Calculate the required reduction in total length: Reduction = Initial PQ - Desired PQ = 21 - 19 = 2 units. Step 5: This reduction in total length must be achieved by reducing the side of the middle square (as the other two are fixed). Step 6: Determine the new side length of the middle square. New s2 = Original s2 - Reduction = 4 - 2 = 2 units. Step 7: Calculate the original area of the middle square: Original Area2 = (Original s2)^2 = 4^2 = 16. Step 8: Calculate the new area of the middle square: New Area2 = (New s2)^2 = 2^2 = 4. Step 9: Calculate the reduction in area of the middle square: Area Reduction = Original Area2 - New Area2 = 16 - 4 = 12.

A circular road encircles a circular garden. If the difference between the circumference of the outer circle and the inner circle is 44 m, what is the width of the road?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Let R be the radius of the outer circle (road + garden) and r be the radius of the inner circle (garden). Step 2: The width of the road is the difference between these radii: Width = R - r. Step 3: The circumference of the outer circle is C_outer = 2 * pi * R. Step 4: The circumference of the inner circle is C_inner = 2 * pi * r. Step 5: The difference between the circumferences is given as 44 m: C_outer - C_inner = 44. Step 6: Substitute the formulas: (2 * pi * R) - (2 * pi * r) = 44. Step 7: Factor out 2 * pi: 2 * pi * (R - r) = 44. Step 8: Since (R - r) is the width of the road (let's denote it as W), the equation becomes 2 * pi * W = 44. Step 9: Substitute the value of pi (22/7): 2 * (22/7) * W = 44. Step 10: Simplify the left side: (44/7) * W = 44. Step 11: Solve for W: W = 44 * (7/44) = 7 meters. Step 12: The width of the road is 7 meters.

If the length of a rectangle is halved and its breadth is tripled, what is the percentage change in its area?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Let the original length be 'x' and the original breadth be 'y'. Step 2: The original area is A_original = x * y. Step 3: The new length is x_new = x / 2. Step 4: The new breadth is y_new = 3 * y. Step 5: Calculate the new area: A_new = x_new * y_new = (x / 2) * (3y) = (3/2)xy. Step 6: Calculate the change in area: Change = A_new - A_original = (3/2)xy - xy = (1/2)xy. Step 7: Calculate the percentage change (increase in this case): Percentage Increase = (Change / A_original) * 100. Percentage Increase = ((1/2)xy / xy) * 100 = (1/2) * 100 = 50%.

A skating champion completes one full lap around a circular track with a radius of 28 m in 44 seconds. How many seconds will it take her to move along the entire perimeter of a hexagon with a side length of 48 m, assuming she maintains the same speed?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Calculate the distance covered on the circular track, which is its circumference: Circumference = 2 * π * R = 2 * (22/7) * 28 m = 2 * 22 * 4 m = 176 m. Step 2: Calculate the skater's speed: Speed = Distance / Time = 176 m / 44 sec = 4 m/sec. Step 3: Calculate the perimeter of the hexagon: Perimeter_hexagon = 6 * Side Length = 6 * 48 m = 288 m. Step 4: Calculate the time taken to move along the perimeter of the hexagon at the calculated speed: Time = Perimeter_hexagon / Speed = 288 m / 4 m/sec = 72 seconds.

A rectangle's perimeter to breadth ratio is 5:1. If the area of this rectangle is 216 sq. cm, what is its length?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Define variables for length and breadth. Let the length of the rectangle be 'l' and the breadth be 'b'. Perimeter = 2(l + b). Area = l * b. Step 2: Use the given ratio to establish a relationship between length and breadth. Ratio of perimeter to breadth = 5 : 1. 2(l + b) / b = 5 / 1. 2(l + b) = 5b. 2l + 2b = 5b. 2l = 3b. l = (3/2)b. Step 3: Use the given area to find the dimensions. Area = l * b = 216 sq. cm. Substitute the expression for 'l' from Step 2 into the area equation: (3/2)b * b = 216. (3/2)b^2 = 216. b^2 = 216 * (2/3). b^2 = 72 * 2. b^2 = 144. b = sqrt(144) = 12 cm. (Breadth must be positive). Step 4: Calculate the length using the breadth. l = (3/2)b = (3/2) * 12 = 3 * 6 = 18 cm. Step 5: State the length of the rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 18 cm.

Mr. Roy usually travels through the middle passage of a round fort, taking 14 minutes to reach his office on time. One day, due to repairs, the straight path was blocked, forcing him to take the semi-circular roundabout way. How many minutes late was he to his office?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Let the diameter of the round fort be 'D'. The straight middle passage has a distance of 'D'. Step 2: Time taken to cover distance 'D' = 14 minutes. Step 3: From this, we can infer Mr. Roy's speed (S) = `Distance / Time = D / 14` (units per minute). Step 4: The roundabout way is along the semi-circular arc. The length of this path is `(1/2) * Circumference = (1/2) * π * D`. Step 5: Calculate the time taken to cover the roundabout distance: `Time_roundabout = Distance_roundabout / Speed`. Step 6: `Time_roundabout = ((1/2) * π * D) / (D / 14)`. Step 7: Simplify: `Time_roundabout = (1/2) * π * D * (14 / D) = (1/2) * π * 14 = 7π` minutes. Step 8: Substitute `π ≈ 22/7`: `Time_roundabout = 7 * (22/7) = 22` minutes. Step 9: Mr. Roy's usual travel time was 14 minutes, and his new travel time is 22 minutes. Step 10: The amount of time he was late = `New Time - Old Time = 22 - 14 = 8` minutes.

Two circles with radii of 5 cm and 3 cm touch each other externally. What is the ratio in which the direct common tangent to the circles externally divides the line segment joining their centers?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Let the two circles have centers O1 and O2, and radii R1 = 5 cm and R2 = 3 cm respectively. Step 2: Since the circles touch externally, the distance between their centers O1O2 = R1 + R2 = 5 + 3 = 8 cm. Step 3: Let the direct common tangent intersect the line joining the centers (extended) at point T. Let the tangent touch the circles at points P1 and P2 respectively, where P1 is on the circle with center O1 and P2 is on the circle with center O2. Step 4: Draw radii O1P1 and O2P2. These radii are perpendicular to the common tangent. Thus, ∠TO1P1 = ∠TO2P2 = 90°. No, ∠TP1O1 = ∠TP2O2 = 90°. Step 5: Consider ΔTP1O1 and ΔTP2O2. They share a common angle ∠T. Since both are right-angled triangles, they are similar by AA (Angle-Angle) similarity criterion (ΔTP1O1 ∽ ΔTP2O2). Step 6: From the property of similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides is equal: TO1/TO2 = O1P1/O2P2 = R1/R2. Step 7: Substitute the radii: TO1/TO2 = 5/3. Step 8: The direct common tangent externally divides the line joining the centers (O1O2) at point T. The ratio of this external division is TO1 : TO2. Step 9: Therefore, the ratio is 5 : 3.

The diagonal of a square is 4 * sqrt(2) cm. What is the diagonal of a second square whose area is double that of the first square?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Let d1 be the diagonal of the first square. Given d1 = 4 * sqrt(2) cm. Step 2: Calculate the area of the first square using the formula: Area = (1/2) * d^2. Step 3: Area1 = (1/2) * (4 * sqrt(2))^2 = (1/2) * (16 * 2) = (1/2) * 32 = 16 sq. cm. Step 4: The area of the second square (Area2) is double the area of the first square. Area2 = 2 * Area1 = 2 * 16 = 32 sq. cm. Step 5: Let d2 be the diagonal of the second square. Use the area formula: Area2 = (1/2) * d2^2. Step 6: Substitute Area2: 32 = (1/2) * d2^2. Step 7: Solve for d2^2: d2^2 = 32 * 2 = 64. Step 8: Solve for d2: d2 = sqrt(64) = 8 cm. Step 9: The diagonal of the second square is 8 cm.

Determine the number of squares, each with a side length of 1/2 inch, required to completely cover a rectangular area that is 4 feet long and 6 feet wide.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Convert the dimensions of the rectangle from feet to inches. 1 foot = 12 inches. Length of rectangle = 4 feet = 4 × 12 = 48 inches. Width of rectangle = 6 feet = 6 × 12 = 72 inches. Step 2: Calculate the area of the rectangle in square inches. Area of rectangle = Length × Width = 48 inches × 72 inches = 3456 sq. inches. Step 3: Calculate the area of one small square tile. Side of square tile = 1/2 inch = 0.5 inches. Area of one tile = Side × Side = 0.5 inches × 0.5 inches = 0.25 sq. inches. Step 4: Calculate the number of squares needed. Number of squares = Area of rectangle / Area of one tile Number of squares = 3456 / 0.25 = 3456 × 4 = 13824 squares.

If the length of a square's side is increased by 40% and its breadth (also initially the side) is increased by 30%, by what percentage does the area of the resulting rectangle exceed the original area of the square?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Assume the original dimensions of the square. Let the original side of the square be 's' units. Original length (l_original) = s Original breadth (b_original) = s Step 2: Calculate the original area of the square. Original Area (A_original) = s * s = s^2 square units. Step 3: Calculate the new dimensions of the resulting rectangle. New length (l_new) = s + (40% of s) = s + 0.40s = 1.40s New breadth (b_new) = s + (30% of s) = s + 0.30s = 1.30s Step 4: Calculate the new area of the rectangle. New Area (A_new) = l_new * b_new = (1.40s) * (1.30s) = 1.82s^2 square units. Step 5: Calculate the increase in area. Increase in area = A_new - A_original = 1.82s^2 - s^2 = 0.82s^2 Step 6: Calculate the percentage increase in area. Percentage increase = (Increase in area / Original Area) * 100 Percentage increase = (0.82s^2 / s^2) * 100 = 0.82 * 100 = 82%
