உயரம் உள்ள மரப்சபட்டியில் மரத்தின் கன அளவோனது
Solution
Volume = 6 x 2 x 1 = 12 cm³
Since the thickness of the wood is 2cm, we add 2 cm to each side of the
wood. Therefore we add 4 cm to every inner dimension.
Length = 6 + 2 + 2 = 10 cm
Breadth = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 cm
Height = 1 + 2 + 2 = 5 cm
a. 88 cm b. 116 cm c. 144 cm d. 56 cm
Solution
Radius=28cm
Perimeter = + 2r
= (22/7) * 28 + 2(28)
=88 + 56
= 144cm
solution
4*x = 13*64
x =
x =13*16
x =208
a. 54 b. 40 c. 45 d. 50
solution
64% of 450 then 10% 0f 450 is 45 and then 60% will be (45 * 6 )= 270
