Find the area of a rectangular field if John walking at the speed of 48m/min took 20 seconds to cross the field diagonally and Harry walking at a speed of 72m /min took 15 seconds to cross the field along its sides.
Answer/Solution
34
Steps/Work
SOLUTION :
The length of the diagonal = speed of John * time = (48/60)*20 = 16m
Sum of the adjacent sides of the field = speed of Harry * time = (72/60)*15 = 18m
Area of the field = (182 - 162) / 2 = 34m2
ANSWER IS C
The length of the diagonal = speed of John * time = (48/60)*20 = 16m
Sum of the adjacent sides of the field = speed of Harry * time = (72/60)*15 = 18m
Area of the field = (182 - 162) / 2 = 34m2
ANSWER IS C
