Math, asked by suhiepha, 1 year ago

a room 5 m long and 4 m wide is surrounded by a verandah.  if the verandah occupies an area of 22 square meter, find the width of the verandah.


MADHANSCTS: did they given figure
Anonymous: the width of the veranda can't be 1m because if the room is surrounded by the veranda which has its width as 4m then the width of the veranda should be more than 4m
TPS: it is 1m.

the length of room = 5 m
breadth of room  = 4 m
area of verendah =22 = 5w+4w+5w+4w +w²+w²+w²+w²
                         =22 =18w+4w²
                   2w²+9w-11=0
                         w = 1m


raoatchut191: can u explain it
suhiepha: this method is wrong
raoatchut191: offfo
TPS: 22 = 5w+4w+5w+4w +w^2+w^2+w^2+w^2
area at corner is w^2, not w.
but the final answer is correct.
