  length = 3 × 15 = 45 m 4.
breadth = 15 m

22 m
Thus, the area of floor = l × b
= 45 m × 15 m

A B Area of shaded region = 4 × area of one shaded
Area of square = a 2 rectangle
 a2 = 24200 ...(i) = 4 × (28 × 22) m2
Now, in right triangle ABC, = 2464 m2
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 5. In isosceles ABC, AB = AC = x (let)
 AC2 = a2 + a2 = 2a2  Perimeter of ABC = Sum of the length of sides
 AC2 = 2 × 24200  x + x + 48 = 98 cm
 AC2 = 48400  48 + 2x = 98
 AC2 = (220)2  2x = (98 – 48)
 AC = 220 50
 x= cm = 25
Hence, length of diagonal of square is 220 m. 2
