A maximum sized rectangular playground is made within a circular space of radius meter. Calculate the area of the playground if its length and width are distributed in the proportion of 4: 5.
(Geometry-Rectangle)Here given, radius = 2 m
Diameter of the circle will be = 2 2 m = 4
4 will be the diagnal of the rectangular playground.
Now let, length be 4x m and width be 5x m.
According to Pythagorean theorem,
(4x)2 + (5x)2 = (4)2
= 16x2 + 25x2 = 16 41
=41x2 = 16 41
x2 = = 16
x = = = 4
Area will e = 4x 5x = 20x2 = 20 42 = 20 16 = 320m2
