The area of a square field is 7200 m2. How long will a cycle take to cross the field diagonally at a constant rate of 4 km/h?
The area of a square field is 7200 m2. How long will a cycle take to cross the field diagonally at a constant rate of 4 km/h? Correct Answer <span class="math-tex">\(\frac{9}{5}\)</span> minutes
Given
area of a square field = 7200 m2
Formula used
Area of square = (side)2
Diagonal of square = √(side)2 + (side)2
Time = Distance/speed
Calculation
Distance cover = √7200 + 7200
⇒ √14400
⇒ 120 m
Speed of cycle = 4 km/h
⇒ (4 × 1000)/60
⇒ 400/6
⇒ (200/3) m/min
Time taken by cycle to cover 120 m = 120/(200/3)
⇒ (120/1) × (3/200)
⇒ 360/200
⇒ 9/5 minutes
∴ 9/5 minutes will a cycle take to cross the field diagonally at a constant rate of 4 km/h
