A rectangular plot has a concrete path running in the middle of the plot parallel to the breadth of the plot. The rest of the plot is used as a lawn which has an area of 420 sq. m. If the width of the path is 4 m and the length of the plot is greater than its breadth by 36 m, what is the area of the rectangular plot ?

Option 1 : 460 sq. m

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

Let,

Breadth of the plot = x m

Length of the plot = (x + 36) m

∴ Area of the plot = x(x + 36) sq. m

Given,

Width of the path = 4 m

∵ Path is running parallel to the breadth

∴ Length of the path = x m

Area of the path = 4x m

∴ Area of the rest of plot = Area of the plot - Area of the path

⇒ 420 = x(x + 36) - 4x

⇒ 420 = x2 + 32x

⇒ x2 + 32x - 420 = 0

⇒ x2 + 42x - 10x - 420 = 0

⇒ x(x + 42) - 10(x + 42) = 0

⇒ (x + 42)(x - 10) = 0

⇒ x = 10 (∵ x ≠ -42 )

∴ Area of the plot

= 10(10 + 36) sq. m

= (10 × 46) sq. m

= 460 sq. m

A trapezium is formed by joining two parallel line segments of unequal length. The arrangement of both lines is such that the excessive length of the longer parallel line segment is equally distributed on both sides of the end point of shorter line segment. The non-parallel line segments are of equal length and the length of parallel line segments in 10 cm and 18 cm. What is the area of trapezium if the perimeter is 38cm?

Option 2 : 42 cm2Perimeter = Sum of length of all sides = 10 + 18 + sum of lengths of non-parallel sides = 38 cm Non parallel sides are of...

A middle school mathematics teacher asks his students to construct a rectangle with length 7 cm and breadth 4 cm. As the students completed the task, he further instructs them: (i) increase the length and breadth by 2 cm each and draw to see what figure you get (ii) decrease the length and breadth by 2 cm and draw to see what figure you get (iii) increase the length by 1 cm and decrease the breadth by 1 cm. Can you predict the type of figure without draving Which principle of Zoltan Dienes theory of mathematics learning is he using in the above activity?
