    Question

    On a rectangular wall of length 25 metres and height 20

    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 437 sq.m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 416 sq.m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 408 sq.m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 424 sq.m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Surface area of the entire wall = length Γ— height = 25 Γ— 20 = 500 m2 Surface area of the window = sum of surface area of the square part + surface area of the triangular part => 72Β + (1/2) Γ— 7 Γ— 4 => 49 + 14 = 63 m2 Required surface area = 500 – 63 = 437 m2
