Solution

First, find the prime factorization of 3600: 3600 = 2^4 * 3^2 * 5^2. To make it a perfect cube, each prime factor's exponent must be a multiple of 3. We have 2^4, 3^2, 5^2. We need to remove 2^1 (to make it 2^3), 3^2, and 5^2. So we need to divide by 2 * 3^2 * 5^2 = 2 * 9 * 25 = 450.

Solution

Solution

Let the principal be P. If it doubles in 5 years, then SI = P. Using SI = PRT/100, P = P * R * 5 / 100, which gives R = 20%. Now, we want it to become five times, so Amount = 5P, and SI = 4P. 4P = P * 20 * T / 100, which gives T = 4 * 100 / 20 = 20 years.

Solution

Solution

Let the side of the square be 'a'. Area = a^2 = 7200 sq. m. So, a = sqrt(7200) = 60 * sqrt(2) m. The diagonal of a square is a * sqrt(2). So, diagonal = (60 * sqrt(2)) * sqrt(2) = 60 * 2 = 120 m.
