Given that ∆s ABC and PQR are similar. Find: (i) The ratio of the area of ∆ABC to the area of ∆PQR if their corresponding sides are in the ratio 1 : 3. (ii) the ratio of their corresponding sides if area of ∆ABC : area of ∆PQR = 25 : 36.

Solution:- From the question it is given that, (i) The area of ∆ABC to the area of ∆PQR if their corresponding sides are in the ratio 1 : 3 Then, ∆ABC ~ ∆PQR area of ∆ABC/area of ∆PQR = BC2/QR2 So,...

An exhibition tent is in the form of a cylinder surmounted by a cone. The height of the tent above the ground is 85 m and the height of the cylindrical part is 50 m. If the diameter of the base is 168 m, find the quantity of canvas required to make the tent. Allow 20% extra for folds and stitching. Give your answer to the nearest m².

solution; Given height of the tent above the ground = 85 m Height of the cylindrical part, H = 50 m height of the cone, h = 85-50 h = 35 m Diameter of the base, d = 168 m Radius of the base of...
