Squares and Roots IV

Geometry Level 1

If a = 10 10 a = \frac { \sqrt { 10 } }{ 10 } and b = 8 8 b = \frac { \sqrt { 8 } }{ 8 } ,
what is the area of this rectangle?

This problem is part of Victor's set on Square Properties .

1 40 \sqrt { \frac { 1}{ 40 } } 3 2 \sqrt { \frac { 3 }{2 } } 1 80 \sqrt { \frac { 1 }{ 80 } } 80 1 \sqrt { \frac { 80 }{ 1 } }

10 10 × 8 8 = A \frac { \sqrt { 10 } }{ 10 } \times \frac { \sqrt { 8 } }{ 8 } = A

80 80 = A \frac { \sqrt { 80 } }{ 80 } =A

80 6400 = A 2 \frac { 80 }{ 6400 } ={ A }^{ 2 }

1 80 = A 2 \frac { 1 }{ 80 } ={ A }^{ 2 }

1 80 = A \sqrt { \frac { 1 }{ 80 } } =A

You don't have to square both the sides. The easier way is:

80 = 80 × 80 80=\sqrt{80}\times\sqrt{80}

So, 80 80 = A \frac{\sqrt{80}}{80}=A

80 80 × 80 = A \frac{\sqrt{80}}{\sqrt{80}\times\sqrt{80}}=A

1 80 = A \frac{1}{\sqrt{80}}=A

A = 1 80 A=\sqrt{\frac{1}{80}}

I have posted my solution for reference.

Directly, 1/ root(10) * 1/ root(8) = 1/ root(80)...simple

sqrt(80)/80 = 1/Sqrt(80) = Sqrt(1/80)

{80}/10x{8}/8= 80/6400 = {1/80}

a*b=root over(1/80)

just simplyfy area=a*b

Não tinha pensado nesse a ao quadrado, procurei simplificar raiz de 80 para ver se dava em alguma coisa, no final tive que comparar o resultado com as alternativas :) Interessante a abordagem.

Details of given rectangle:

Length = a = 10 10 = a = \frac{\sqrt{10}}{10}

Breadth = b = 8 8 = b = \frac{\sqrt{8}}{8}

Area of rectangle = a b = ab

= 10 10 × 8 8 = \frac{\sqrt{10}}{10} \times \frac{\sqrt{8}}{8}

= 10 × 8 10 × 8 = \frac{\sqrt{10} \times \sqrt{8}}{10 \times 8}

= 80 80 = 80 80 × 80 = 1 80 = \frac{\sqrt{80}}{80} = \frac{\sqrt{80}}{\sqrt{80} \times \sqrt{80}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{80}}

Thus, area of rectangle = 1 80 = \boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt{80}}}

we can write a=1/under root 10 and b+ 1/under root. Now are of rectangle is aXb that is 1/under root 80 Ans. K.K.GARG,India

its easy. you just need power of a and b

gud job ..!!!!!

Area of rectangle = a b Here, a = root 10/10 b= root 8/8 Therefore, Area= (root 10/10) (root 8/8) = (root 10/root 100) (root 8/root 64) = [root ( 10/100)] [ root ( 8/64)] = { root [ (10/100) (8/64)]} = { root [ (1/10) (1/8)]} = { root [ 1/80]} = root ( 1/80)

Sqrt(1/80)

Just base times height its also like 1/rt10 x 1/rt8

area =length*bredth so multiply both the uantities and you will get the answer

a = \frac{\sqrt{10}}{10} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}} b= \frac{\sqrt{8}}{8} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{8}} Thus area of rectangle = a \times b a \times b = \frac{1}{\sqrt{80}}

area=a*b a=1/root 10 and b=1/root 8 then area=1/root 80 ans

1/(10^0.5) 1/(8^0.5)=1/(10 8)^0.5=1/80

\­( ab=\frac { \sqrt { 10 } }{ 10 } x\frac { \sqrt { 8 } }{ 8 } \ \frac { \sqrt { 10 } }{ 10 } =\sqrt { \frac { 1 }{ 10 } } ,\quad \frac { \sqrt { 8 } }{ 8 } =\sqrt { \frac { 1 }{ 8 } } \Longrightarrow \quad ab=\quad \sqrt { \frac { 1 }{ 10 } } x\sqrt { \frac { 1 }{ 8 } } =\quad \sqrt { \frac { 1x1 }{ 10x8 } } =\sqrt { \frac { 1 }{ 80 } } \ \­)
