    Question

    On a rectangular wall of length 30 metres and height 25

    metres, there is a window in the shape of triangle surmounted on a square. If the base of triangle and square overlap and length of each side of the square is 7 metres and length of altitude of the triangle is 4 metres, then excluding the window, what is the surface area of the wall?
    A 637 sq.m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 616 sq.m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 608 sq.m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 687 sq.m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Surface area of the entire wall = length × height = 30 × 25 = 750 m2 Surface area of the window = sum of surface area of the square part + surface area of the triangular part => 72 + (1/2) × 7 × 4 => 49 + 14 = 63 m2 Required surface area = 750 – 63 = 687 m2
