Question 120

A rectangular field is 48 m long and 12 m wide. How many right triangular flower beds can be laid in this field, if sides including the right angle measure 2 m and 4m, respectively?

Answer 1

Given, dimensions of a rectangular field $=48m\times 12m$ and dimensions of a right angled triangle $=2m\times 4m$
$\therefore$ Numberof right triangular flower beds $=\frac{Areaoffield}{Areaofrightangledtriangle}=\frac{48\times 12}{\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 4}$
= 144 [$\because$ area of rectangle = length $\times$ breadth and area of a right angled triangle $=\frac{1}{2}\times height\times breadth$]
