Solution
We know that,
Area of rectangle = l × b and area of circle = πr2
From the given figure,
Area of total rectangular land = 15 m × 10 m = 150 m2
Area of land covered by plants = 9 m × 1 m = 9 m2
Area of land covered by camel = 5 m × 3 m = 15 m2
∴ Region of land covered by ox is circular area.
So, diameter, d = 2.8 m
∴ Radius = `d/2 = 2.8/2` = 1.4 m ...`[∵ "Radius" = "Diameter"/2]`
∴ Area of land covered by ox = πr2 = `22/7` × 1.4 × 1.4 = 6.16 m2
Total area covered by plants, camel and ox = 9 + 15 + 6.16 = 30.16 m2
Remaining land for living = Total area – Area covered by plants and animals
= (150 – 30.16) m2
= 119.84 m2
∴ Ratio of areas kept for animals and plants to the living area
= 30.16 : 119.84
= 3016 : 11984
= 377 : 1498
The value depicted here is that, we should save our environment and balanced the environment.
