Solution
Given that the sides of ΔAOB are
AO = 24 cm
OB = 25 cm
BA = 14 cm
Area of each equal strips = Area of Δle AOB
Now, for area of ΔAOB
Perimeter of ΔAOB
Let 2s = AO + OB + BA
`⇒s=1/2(AO+OB+BA)`
`=1/2(25-25-14)=32 cm`
∴๐ต๐ฆ ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐′๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐
๐ด๐๐๐ ๐๐ (Δ๐ด๐๐ต)=`sqrt(s(s-ao(s-ob)s-ba))`
`=sqrt(32(32-25)(32-25)(32-14))`
`=sqrt(32(7)(4)(18))`
`=168 cm^2`
∴ Area of each type of paper needed to make the hand fan = 5 ×(๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ Δ๐ด๐๐ต)
= 5 × 168
= `840 cm^2`
