Question

a room 12.5m long and 10.5 m wide is surrounded by a verendah 2m wide all it . find the area occupied by the verendah

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the room=12.5*10.5=131.25m^2

Length of the room with barandha=12.5+2*2=16.5m

Breadth of the room with barandha=10.5+2*2=14.5m

Area of the room with barandha=16.5*14.5=239.25m^2

Area of the barandha=239.25-131.25=108m^2

Answer 2

Given data : A room 12.5 m long and 10.5 m wide is surrounded by a verandah 2m wide all around it.

To find : The area occupied by the verandah.

Solution : Here, we know that,

• Width of the verandah : 2 m

• Length of the room : 12.5 m

• Breadth of the room : 10.5 m

Now,

➜ Area of the room = length * breadth

➜ Area of the room = 12.5 * 10.5

➜ Area of the room = 131.25 m²

Now, a/c to given data ;

• Length of the room with width of the verandah : 12.5 + 2 * (2) = 12.5 + 4 = 16.5 m

• Breadth of the room with width of the verandah : 10.5 + 2 * (2) = 10.5 + 4 = 14.5 m

Now,

➜ Area of the room with verandah = length * breadth

➜ Area of the room with verandah = 16.5 * 14.5

➜ Area of the room with verandah = 239.25 m²

Now,

➜ Area of the verandah = {Area of the room with verandah} - {Area of the room}

➜ Area of the verandah = 239.25 - 131.25

➜ Area of the verandah = 108 m²

Answer : Hence, area of the verandah is 108 m².
