Exercise 12.1

Question:1

An isosceles right triangle has area 8\; cm^{^{2}} . The length of its hypotenuse is
(A) \sqrt{32}\; cm
(B) \sqrt{16}\; cm
(C) \sqrt{48}\; cm
(D) \sqrt{24}\; cm

Answer:

An isosceles right triangle is given.
According to definition of right triangle, one angle should be 90o
According to definition of isosceles triangle any two sides equal.
i.e., AB = BC
Suppose equal sides of triangle be = x cm
[AB = BC = x]
annotation-2020-12-30-222837
Area of isosceles triangle = \frac{1}{2} × base × height
\Rightarrow 8 cm2 = \frac{1}{2} × AB × BC
\Rightarrow 8 × 2 = x × x [\Theta AB = BC = x]
\Rightarrow 16 =x^{2}
\Rightarrow x = \sqrt{16}
\Rightarrow x = 4 cm
So AB = BC = 4 cm
In \DeltaABC, using Pythagoras theorem
(AC)2 = (AB)2 + (BC)2
(AC)2 = (4)2 + (4)2
(AC)2 = 16 + 16
AC = \sqrt{32}\; cm
Hence hypotenuse of DABC is \sqrt{32}\; cm.
Hence option (A) is correct.

Question:2

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 60 m. The area is
(A) 10\sqrt{3}\; m^{2}
(B) 15\sqrt{3}\; m^{2}
(C) 20\sqrt{3}\; m^{2}
(D) 100\sqrt{3}\; m^{2}

Answer:

[D]
Given perimeter of equilateral triangle = 60 m
Suppose the sides of equilateral triangle, AB = BC = CA = x m
We know that perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3 × side
annotation-2020-12-31-085436
60 = 3 × x
60 = 3x
\frac{60}{3}\; = x
x = 20 m
i.e., sides AB = BC = CA = 20 m
We know that
Area of equilateral triangle = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\; \times \; side^{2}
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\; \times \; \left ( 20 \right )^{2}\; = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\; \times \;20\times \; 20
= \sqrt{3} × 5 × 20 = \sqrt{3} × 100 = 100\sqrt{3}\; m^{^{2}}
Hence area of equilateral triangle is 100\sqrt{3}\; m^{^{2}}.
Hence option (D) is correct.

Question:3

The sides of a triangle are 56 cm, 60 cm and 52 cm long. Then the area of the triangle is
(A) 1322 cm2
(B) 1311 cm2
(C) 1344 cm2
(D) 1392 cm2

Answer:

[C]
Given; In DABC, a = 56 cm, b = 60 cm, c = 52 cm
annotation-2020-12-31-091127
(Semi perimeter) S = \frac{a+b+c}{2}
S = \frac{56+60+52}{2}
S = \frac{168}{2}\; = \; 84\; cm
Using Heron’s formula
Area of triangle = \sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
= \sqrt{84\left ( 84-56 \right )\left ( 84-60 \right )\left ( 84-52 \right )}
= \sqrt{84\times 28\times 24\times 32}
= \sqrt{7\times 3\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 7\times 2\times 2\times 6\times 2\times 4\times 4}
= \sqrt{7\times 7\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 3\times 4\times 4\times 2}
= 7 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 4 × 3 = 1344 cm^{^{2}}
Hence area of DABC is 1344 cm^{^{2}}.
Hence option (C) is correct.

Question:4

The area of an equilateral triangle with side 2\sqrt{3} cm is
(A) 5.196 cm2
(B) 0.866 cm2
(C) 3.496 cm2
(D) 1.732 cm2

Answer:

[A] Given side of equilateral triangle = \; 2\sqrt{3\;}\; cm
We know that area of equilateral triangle = \; \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\; \times \left ( side \right )^{2}
= \; \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\; \times \left ( 2\sqrt{3} \right )^{2}
= \; \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\; \times\; 4\; \times \left ( \sqrt{3} \right )^{2} \left [ \left ( \sqrt{3} \right )^{2}\; = \; \sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{3}\; = 3 \right ]
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\; \times 4\times 3
\sqrt{3}\times 3 = 1.732 × 3 [\therefore \; \sqrt{3 } = 1.732]
= 5.196 cm^{2}
Hence area of equilateral triangle is 5.196 cm^{2}.
Hence option (A) is correct.

Question:5

The length of each side of an equilateral triangle having an area of 9\sqrt{3}\; cm^{2} is
(A) 8 cm
(B) 36 cm
(C) 4 cm
(D) 6 cm

Answer:

[D]
Given area of equilateral triangle 9\sqrt{3}cm^{2}
Let the side of equilateral triangle be = a cm
So\; we\; know\; that\; area\; of\; triangle\; = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times \left ( side \right )^{2}

annotation-2020-12-31-100208Exercise 1.1
9\sqrt{3}= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times \left ( side \right )^{2}
9\sqrt{3}= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times \left ( a \right )^{2} [\therefore side = a]
9\sqrt{3}\times 4\; = \; \sqrt{3}\times a^{2}
a^{2}= \; \frac{36\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}
a2 = 36
a = \sqrt{36}
a = 6 cm
Hence, side of equilateral triangle is 6 cm.
Hence option (D) is correct.

Question:6

If the area of an equilateral triangle is 16\sqrt{3}cm^{2}, then the perimeter of the triangle is:
(A) 48 cm
(B) 24 cm
(C) 12 cm
(D) 36 cm

Answer:

[B]
Given area of equilateral triangle = 16\sqrt{3}cm^{2}
Suppose the side of equilateral triangle be = a cm
annotation-2020-12-31-102343
We know that,
Area of equilateral triangle = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\left ( side \right )^{2}
16\sqrt{3}\; = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times \left ( a \right )^{2}
16\times 4\times \sqrt{3}= \sqrt{3}\times \left ( a \right )^{2}
\frac{64\times \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}= a^{2}
a2 = 64
a = \sqrt{64}
a = 8 cm
Perimeter = 3a = 3(8) = 24 cm
Hence option (B) is correct.

Question:7

The sides of a triangle are 35 cm, 54 cm and 61 cm, respectively. The length of its longest altitude
(A) 16\sqrt{5}cm
(B) 10\sqrt{5}cm
(C) 24\sqrt{5}cm
(D) 28 cm

Answer:

Given\; a= \; 35cm,\; b= 54cm\; ,c= 61cm
annotation-2020-12-31-133516
S= \frac{a+b+c}{2}
S= \frac{35+54+61}{2}
\Rightarrow S= 75cm
Using Heron's formula area of triangle = \; \sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
= \; \sqrt{75\left ( 75-35 \right )\left ( 75-54 \right )\left ( 75-61 \right )}
= \sqrt{75\times 40\times 21\times 14}
= \sqrt{5\times 5\times 3\times 5\times 4\times 2\times 7\times 3\times 7\times 2}= \sqrt{5\times 5\times 5\times 3\times 3\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 7\times 7}
=5\times 3\times 2\times 7\times 2\sqrt{5}
= 420\sqrt{5}cm^{2}
We know that area of \bigtriangleupABC = \frac{1}{2}\times base\times altitude
420\sqrt{5}= \frac{1}{2}\times 35\times AD
420\sqrt{5}\times 2= 35\times altitude
\Rightarrow \frac{420\sqrt{5}\times 2}{35}= \; altitude
\Rightarrow \frac{60\sqrt{5}\times 2}{5}= \; altitude
\Rightarrow 24\sqrt{5}= \; altitude
Hence,altitude\; is \; 24\sqrt{5}cm
Hence option (C) is correct.

Question:8

The area of an isosceles triangle having base 2 cm and the length of one of the equal sides 4 cm, is
(A) \sqrt{15}cm^{2}
(B) \sqrt{\frac{15}{2}}cm^{2}
(C) 2\sqrt{15}cm^{2}
(D) 4\sqrt{15}cm^{2}

Answer:

[A]

annotation-2020-12-31-154628

We\; know\; that,We\; know\; that,semi-perimeter

S= \frac{a+b+c}{2}

S= \frac{2+4+4}{2}

S= \frac{10}{2}= 2cm

Using Heron’s formula area of \DeltaABC = \sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}

= \sqrt{5\left ( 5-2 \right )\left ( 5-4 \right )\left ( 5-4 \right )}

= \sqrt{5\times 3\times 1\times 1}

= \sqrt{15}cm^{2}

Hence, area of given triangle is \sqrt{15}cm^{2}.

Hence option (A) is correct.

Question:9

The edges of a triangular board are 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm. The cost of painting it at the rate of 9 paise per cm^{2} is
(A) Rs 2.00
(B) Rs 2.16
(C) Rs 2.48
(D) Rs 3.00

Answer:

[B]
Solution.
To find the cost of painting, we have to find the area of the triangular board
Let the sides be denoted as, a = 6 cm, b = 8 cm, c = 10 cm
semi-perimeter,S= \frac{a+b+c}{2}
S= \frac{6+8+10}{2}= \frac{24}{2}= 12cm
We know that,
Using Heron’s formula, area of triangle = \sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
= \sqrt{12\left ( 12-6 \right )\left ( 12-8 \right )\left ( 12-10\right )}
= \sqrt{12\times 6\times 4\times 2}
= \sqrt{6\times 2\times 6\times 2\times 2\times 2}
6\times 2\times 2= 24cm^{2}
Now\; cost\; of\; painting\; 1cm^{2}= 9\; paise= \frac{9}{100}Rs= 0.09Rs.
\left [ 1Rs= 100paise,1\; paise= \frac{1}{100}Rs \right ]
\therefore\; cost\; of\; painting\; 24cm^{2}= 24\times 0.09= 24\times \frac{9}{100}= Rs2.16
Hence,cost of painting Rs. 2.16.
Hence option (B) is correct.

Question:1

Write True or False and justify your answer:
The area of a triangle with base 4 cm and height 6 cm is 24 cm^{2}

Answer:

[False]
Given, Base 4 cm and height 6 cm
We know that,
Area\; of\; triangle\; = \frac{1}{2}\times base\times height
= \frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 4= 3\times 4= 12cm\; ^{2}
Therefore the given statement is false.

Question:2

Write True or False and justify your answer:
The area of \DeltaABC is 8 cm^{^{2}} in which AB = AC = 4 cm and \angleA = 90^{\circ}

Answer:

[True]
Given, AB = AC = 4 cm and \angleA = 90^{\circ}
annotation-2020-12-31-165141
.We know that
Area\; of\; triangle= \frac{1}{2}\times base\times height
= \frac{1}{2}\times 4\times\; 4= 4\times 2= 8cm^{2}
Hence, area of \Delta is 8 cm^{2} is True.

Question:3

Write True or False and justify your answer:
The area of the isosceles triangle is \frac{5}{4}\sqrt{11}cm^{2}, if the perimeter is 11 cm and the base is 5 cm.

Answer:

[True]
Given
Area\; of\; isosceles\; triangle= \frac{5}{4}\sqrt{11}cm^{2}
Perimeter\; of\; triangle= 11cm
annotation-2020-12-31-170053
We know that
Perimeter= x+x+5 \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \left [ \therefore Let\; equal\; sides\; of\; triangle= x \right ]
11cm-5cm= 2x
\Rightarrow 6cm= 2x\Rightarrow x= \frac{6}{2}cm
\Rightarrow x=3cm
Now, in right triangle ADB
Using Pythagoras theorem
\left ( AB \right )^{2}=\left ( AD \right )^{2}+\left ( BD \right )^{2}
\left ( 3 \right )^{2}=\left ( AD \right )^{2}+\left ( \frac{5}{2} \right )^{2}
9-\frac{25}{4}=\left ( AD \right )^{2}
\Rightarrow AD= \sqrt{9-\frac{25}{4}}
\Rightarrow AD= \sqrt{\frac{36-25}{4}}
AD= \sqrt{\frac{11}{4}}=\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}CM\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \left [ Q\sqrt{4} =\sqrt{2\times 2}=2\right ]
Area\; of\; isosceles\; triangle=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height
= \frac{1}{2}\times 5\times\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}=\frac{5\sqrt{11}}{4}cm^{2}
Therefore the given statement is true.

Therefore the given statement is false.

Question:5

Write True or False and justify your answer:
If the side of a rhombus is 10 cm and one diagonal is 16 cm, the area of the rhombus is 96 cm^{2}.

Answer:

[True]
Side\; of\; rhombus = 10 cm
One\; Diagonal = 16 cm
annotation-2020-12-31-175707
We know that diagonal of rhombus interest each other at right angle
So\; In\; right\; \Delta AOB
Using\; Pythagoras\; theorem
(AB)^{2} = (OA)^{2} + (OB)^{2}
(10)^{2} = (8)^{2} + (OB)^{2}
100 = 64 + (OB)^{2}
100 -64=\left ( OB \right )^{2}
(OB)^{2} = 36
OB=\sqrt{36} \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \left [ Q\sqrt{36}=\sqrt{6\times 6}=6 \right ]
OB = 6 cm
\therefore BD = 2\; \times \; OB
BD = 2 \times 6 = 12 cm
Now, Area\; of\; rhombus = \frac{1}{2}\; \times product\; of \; its\; diagonals
= \frac{1}{2} \times BD \times AC
=\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 16
= 6 \times 16 = 96 cm^{2}
Hence, area of rhombus is 96 cm^{2}
Therefore the given statement is true.

Question:6

annotation-2020-12-31-183844
We know that a regular hexagon is divided into 6 equilateral triangles by its diagonals.
Area\; of\; 1\; equilateral\; triangle = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times a^{2}
Area\; of\; 6\; equilateral\; triangle =6\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times a^{2}=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}a^{2}
Area\; of\; 5\; equilateral\; triangle =5\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times a^{2}=\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2}a^{2}
Therefore the given statement is false.

annotation-2020-12-31-185015
S=\frac{51+37+20}{2}=\frac{108}{2}=54m
We know that using Heron’s formula
Area\; of \; triangle AB=\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{54\left ( 54-51 \right )\left ( 54-37 \right )\left ( 54-20 \right )}
=\sqrt{54\times 3\times 17\times 34}
=\sqrt{9\times 3\times 2\times 3\times 17\times 17\times 2}
=\sqrt{3\times3\times 3\times 3\times 2\times 2\times 17\times 17}
=3\times 3\times 2\times 17
= 306m^{2}
To find cost :
Cost of levelling 1 m2 = Rs 3
\therefore Cost\; of\; levelling\; 306\; m^{2} = \; 3 \times 306 = Rs.\; 918
Therefore the given statement is true.

=\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{18\left ( 18-11 \right )\left ( 18-12 \right )\left ( 18-13\right )}
= \sqrt{18\times 7\times 6\times 5}
= \sqrt{6\times 3\times 7\times 6\times 5}
= \sqrt{6^{2}\times 3\times 7\times 5}
= 6\sqrt{3\times 7\times 5}
= 6\sqrt{105} \because \sqrt{105}=10.2469\simeq 10.25
= 6 \times 10.25
= 61.5 cm^{2}
Given\; altitude\; =\; 10.25\; cm\; and
Its \; corresponding\; base \; = \; 12\; cm
Area\; of \times triangle ABC = \frac{1}{2} \times Base \times corresponding\; Height

Exercise:12.3

Question:1

Find the cost of laying grass in a triangular field of sides 50 m, 65 m and 65 m at the rate of Rs7\; per\; m^{2}

Answer:

Rs.10500
To find the cost, first we have to find the area of this triangular field.
Let \; sides\; be\; a = 50\; cm ; b = 65\; cm ; c = 65 \; m
Semi\; perimeter(s) = \frac{a+b+c}{2}
= \frac{50+65+65}{2}
= \frac{180}{2}
= 90
Area of Triangular field:
By\; herons\; formula =\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{90\left ( 90-50\right )\left ( 90-65 \right )\left ( 90-65 \right )}
=\sqrt{90\times 40\times 25\times 25}
=\sqrt{9\times 10\times 4\times 10\times \left ( 5^{} \right )^{2}\times \left ( 5 \right )^{2}}
=3\times 10\times 2\times 5^{2}
= 30\times 2\times 25
= 1500m^{2}
Rate\; of\; laying \; grass = 7\; Rs \; per\; m^{2}
Cost\; of \; laying \; grass\; for\; 1500 m^{2} = Rs (7 \times 1500)
= 10500\; Rs
Hence\; the \; answer\; is\; 10500 Rs.

The\; area\; of\; triangular\; wall =\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{21\left ( 21-13\right )\left ( 21-14 \right )\left ( 21-15 \right )}
={\sqrt{21\times 8\times 7\times 6}}
= \sqrt{3\times 7\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 7\times 2\times 3}
= \sqrt{\left ( 2\times 2\times 2\times 2 \right )\times \left ( 3\times 3\times 7\times 7 \right )}
= 2\times 2\times 3\times 7=84m^{2}
Given that the advertisements yield earning per m2 for 1 year=RS 2000
Earnings\; per\; m^{2} \; per\; month =Rs.\left ( \frac{2000}{12} \right )
Earnings\; per\; m^{2}\; for\; 6\; months =Rs.\; \left ( \frac{2000}{12}\times 6 \right )
Earnings\; for\; 84 m^{2}\; for\; 6 \; months =Rs\left ( \frac{2000}{2}\times 84 \right ) Rent \; the\; company\; has\; to\; pay
Rent \; the\; company \; has\; to\; pay = Rs. 2000 \times 42 = Rs. \; 84000
Hence\; company\; has\; to\; pay\; Rs.\; 84000.

From a point in the interior of an equilateral triangle, perpendiculars are drawn on the three sides. The lengths of the perpendiculars are 14 cm, 10 cm and 6 cm. Find the area of the triangle.

Answer:

[300\sqrt{3}cm^{2} ]
Here \DeltaABC is equilateral triangle i.e.
AB = BC = CA = x (Let)
annotation-2021-01-01-093125
Now we can see here three perpendicular
OX \perp AB, OZ \perp BC, OY \perp AC
OX = 10 cm, OY = 14 cm\; and\; OZ = 6 cm
So\; that\; area\; of\; \Delta ABC = Ar(\Delta AOC) + Ar(\Delta BOC) + Ar(\Delta AOB)
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} side^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height + \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height + \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height
[\Theta \Delta ABC\; is\; equilateral\; \Delta ,so\; area\; of\; equilateral\; \Delta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}side^{2} ]
\Rightarrow \frac{^{\sqrt{3}}}{4}\times x^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times AC\times OY+\frac{1}{2}\times BC\times OZ+\frac{1}{2}\times AB\times OX
Taking\; \frac{1}{2} \; common
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times x^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times \left [ AC\times OY+BC\times OZ+AB\times OX \right ]
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times x^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times \left [ AC\times OY+AC\times OZ+AC\times OX \right ]
[\Theta AB = BC = AC, \DeltaABC equilateral triangle]
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times x^{2}=\frac{1}{2}AC\times \left [ OY+OZ+OX \right ]
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times x^{2}=\frac{1}{2}AC\times \left [ 14+6+10 \right ]
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times x^{2}=\frac{1}{2}AC\times \left [ 30 \right ]
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times x^{2}=15\times AC
\sqrt{3}\times x^{2}=15\times x\times 4\; \; \; \; \; \; [\because AC = BC = AC = x]
\frac{x^{2}}{x}=\frac{15\times 4}{\sqrt{3}}
x=\frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}cm
Hence \; the\; length\; of\; the\; sides\; of\; \Delta ABC\; is\; \frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}cm
Area\; of\; \Delta ABC =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times \left ( \frac{60}{\sqrt{3}} \right )^{2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times \frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}\times \frac{60}{\sqrt{3}}
=\frac{15\times 60}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{900}{\sqrt{3}}
On rationalisation
\frac{900}{\sqrt{3}}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{900\times \sqrt{3}}{3}=300\sqrt{3}cm^{2}

Question:4

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 cm. The ratio of the equal side to its base is 3 : 2. Find the area of the triangle.

Answer:

[32\sqrt{2}cm^{2} ]
Given\; perimeter\; of\; isosceles\; triangle = 32 cm
We\; have\; ratio\; of\; equal\; side\; and\; base = 3 : 2
Thus,\; let\; the \; sides\; of\; triangle\; be\; AB = AC = 3x\; and\; BC = 2x
\therefore Perimeter \; of\; a\; triangle = 32 cm
3x + 3x + 2x = 32
8x = 32
x=\frac{32}{8}
x = 4 cm
So, AC = AB = 3 \times 4 cm\; and\; BC = 2 \times 4 cm
AC = AB = 12 cm\; and \; BC = 8 cm
annotation-2021-01-01-102312
Now, a = 8\; cm, b = 12\; cm, c = 12 \; cm
Using Heron’s formula
S= \frac{a+b+c}{2}=\frac{8+12+12}{2}=\frac{32}{2}=16cm
\therefore\; Area \; of\; isosceles\; triangle\; \Delta ABC =\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{16\left ( 16-8 \right )\left ( 16-12 \right )\left ( 16-12 \right )}
= \sqrt{16\times 8\times 4\times 4}
= \sqrt{4\times 4\times 4\times 2\times 4\times 4}
=4\times 4 \sqrt{ 2\times 2\times 2}=4\times 4\times 2\sqrt{2}=32\sqrt{2}\; cm^{2}
Hence,\; the\; area\; of\; isosceles \; triangle\; is\; 32\sqrt{2}\; cm^{2}

annotation-2021-01-01-131743

Answer:

Area = 180 cm^{2}
Length\; of\; the\; altitude \; from\; vertex\; A\; on\; the\; side\; DC = 15\; cm
annotation-2021-01-01-131743
We\; know\; AB = CD\; and\; AD = BC \; \; \; \; \; \; [\because ABCD \ is \ a\ parallelogram]Area \; of\; parallelogram = 2 \times area \; of\; \Delta DBC
So \; here\; \Delta DBC\; sides\ having\; DB = 25 cm, BC = 17cm\;and\;CD = 12 cm
Using Heron’s formula
S=\frac{25+17+12}{2}=\frac{54}{2}=27cm
Area \; of\; \; triangle\; \Delta DBC =\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{27\left ( 27-25 \right )\left ( 27-17 \right )\left ( 27-12 \right )}
= \sqrt{27\times 2\times 10\times 15}
= \sqrt{9\times 3\times 2\times 5\times 2\times 5\times 3}
= \sqrt{3\times 3\times 3\times 3\times 5\times 5\times 2\times 2}
= 2\times 3\times 3\times 5=90\; cm^{2}
\\ Area\; of\; parallelogram \; ABCD = 2 \times Ar(\Delta DBC) = 2 \times 90 cm^{2} = 180 cm^{2}.
We \; know \; that\; area\; of\; parallelogram = base \times height
= base\; CD \times length\; of\; the \; altitude\; from \; vertex\; A \; on\; the\; side\; DC
180\; cm^{2} = 12\; cm \; (length\; of\; the \; altitude\; from\; vertex\; A\; on\; the\; side\; DC)
\\Length\; of\; the \; altitude\; from \; vertex\; A\; on\; the\; side\; DC=180/12 = 15 cm.
Hence, length of the altitude from vertex A on the side DC = 15 cm

Question:6

A field in the form of a parallelogram has sides 60 m and 40 m and one of its diagonals is 80 m long. Find the area of the parallelogram.

Answer:

[600\sqrt{15}m^{2} ]
We know that ABCD is parallelogram
So the opposite sides are equal.
AB = CD = 60 m, AD = BC = 40 m
annotation-2021-01-01-134724
Thus, Area\; of\; parallelogram = 2 \times Ar(\Delta ABC)
In \DeltaABC, using heron’s formula
Semi perimeter, S =\frac{60+40+80}{2}=\frac{180}{2}=90m
Area \; of\; \; triangle\; \Delta ABC =\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{90\left ( 90-60 \right )\left ( 90-40 \right )\left ( 90-80 \right )}
=\sqrt{90\times 30\times 50\times 10}
=\sqrt{3\times 30\times 30\times 10\times 10\times 5}
= 30\times 10\sqrt{3\times 5}=300\sqrt{15}\; m^{2}
Hence,\; area\; of\; parallelogram =2\times 300\sqrt{15}\; m^{2}=600\sqrt{15}\; m^{2}

Question:7

The perimeter of a triangular field is 420 m and its sides are in the ratio 6 : 7 : 8. Find the area of the triangular field.

Answer:

[2100\sqrt{15}\; m^{2} ]
Given perimeter of a triangular field = 420 m and ratio of sides = 6 : 7 : 8
Let the sides of triangular field be = 6x, 7x and 8x
annotation-2021-01-01-140154
\therefore Perimeter\; of\; triangular\; field = 6x + 7x +\; 8x
420 = 6x + 7x + 8x
420 = 21x
x=\frac{420}{21}
x = 20
Then\; sides\; are\; 6 \times 20 = 120m, 7 \times 20 = 140m\; and \; 8 \times 20 = 160m
Using Heron’s formula for finding the area of \DeltaABC
a = 120m, b = 140m, c = 160m
S=\frac{a+b+c}{2}=\frac{120+140+160}{2}=\frac{420}{2}=210m
Area \; of\; \; triangle\; \Delta ABC =\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{210\left ( 210-120 \right )\left ( 210-140 \right )\left ( 210-160\right )}
= \sqrt{210\times 90\times 70\times 50}
= \sqrt{7\times 30\times 3\times 30\times 7\times 10\times 5\times 10}

Question:8

The sides of a quadrilateral ABCD are 6 cm, 8 cm, 12 cm and 14 cm (taken in order) respectively, and the angle between the first two sides is a right angle. Find its area.

Answer:

\left [ 24\; cm^{2}+24\sqrt{6}cm^{2} \right ]
Here we have, AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm, CD = 12 cm and AD = 14 cm
According to question, the angle between AB and BC is 90^{\circ}
annotation-2021-01-01-174132
Join AC
In Right \DeltaABC, [By Pythagoras theorem]
AC^{2} = (6)^{2} + (8)^{2}
AC^{2} = 36 + 64
AC = \sqrt{100}
AC = 10 cm
Area\; of \; quadrilateral \: ABCD = Ar(\Delta ABC) + Ar(\Delta ACD)
Now, we\: find \; area\; of \; \Delta ABC = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height
= \frac{1}{2}\times BC\times AB= \frac{1}{2}\times 8\times 6= (4 \times 6) cm^{2}
Area of \Delta ABC = 24 cm^{2}
In \Delta ACD, AC = a = 10 cm, CD = b = 12 cm, AD = c = 14 cm
S= \frac{a+b+c}{2}= \frac{10+12+14}{2}= \frac{36}{2}= 18cm
Using\; Heron's \; formula \; area \; of \Delta ACD=\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
= \sqrt{18\left ( 18-10 \right )\left ( 18-12 \right )\left ( 18-14 \right )}
= \sqrt{18\times 8\times 6\times 4}
= \sqrt{9\times 2\times 4\times 2\times 3\times 2\times 4}
= \sqrt{3\times 3\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 2\times 4\times 4}
= 3\times 2\times 4\times \sqrt{3\times 2}= 24\sqrt{6}\; cm^{2}
Hence, area \; of\; quadrilateral \; ABCD = 24cm^{2}+24\sqrt{6}\; cm^{2}

Question:9

A rhombus shaped sheet with perimeter 40 cm and one diagonal 12 cm, is painted on both sides at the rate of Rs 5 per cm^{2}. Find the cost of painting.

Answer:

[Rs. 960]
Let ABCD be a rhombus thus AB = BC = CD = DA = x (Let)
annotation-2021-01-01-180707
We \; have\; perimeter \; of \; rhombus = 40 cm
\Rightarrow AB + BC + CD + DA = 40 cm
\Rightarrow x + x + x + x = 40 cm
\Rightarrow 4x = 40 cm
\Rightarrow x = \frac{40}{4} cm
\Rightarrow x = 10 cm
\therefore sides \; of \; rhombus \; AB = BC = CD = DA = 10 cm
Area of rhombus = 2 \times Ar(\DeltaABC) [diagonal of rhombus divides it into two triangles of equal area]
Now, we find area of triangle using Heron’s formula
In\; \Delta ABC, S=\frac{a+b+c}{2}= \frac{10+10+12}{2}= \frac{32}{2}= 16cm
Area \; of\; \Delta ABC =\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{16\left ( 16-10 \right )\left ( 16-10 \right )\left ( 16-12 \right )}
= \sqrt{16\times 6\times 6\times 4}
= \sqrt{8\times 8\times 6\times 6\times 4}
= \sqrt{4\times 4\times 6\times 6\times 4}
= 4\times 6\sqrt{2\times 2}
= 4\times 6\times 2= 48cm^{2}
Now, Area of rhombus = 2 \times Ar(\DeltaABC)
= 2\times 40cm^{2}= 96cm^{2}
We find the cost of painting
Thus,
\because cost\; of \; painting\; the\; sheet \; of\; 1 cm^{2} = Rs.\; 5
\therefore cost \; of\; painting\; the \; sheet\; of \; 96\; cm^{2}= Rs.\; 96 \times 5 = Rs.\; 480
Hence, the cost of the painting both sides of the sheet = 2 \times 480 = Rs. 960.

Find the area of the trapezium PQRS with height PQ given in Figure.
annotation-2021-01-01-182608

Answer:

[114\; cm^{2}]
Firstly\; we\; have\; side \; PS = 12 m, SR = 13, QR = 7 m
annotation-2021-01-01-182854
Join RT
So here PT = PS – ST
PT = 12 m – 5 m
PT = 7 m
and ST = PS – PT
ST = \left ( 12-7 \right )m
ST = 5 m
Now, In \DeltaSTR, Using Pythagoras theorem
We\; get, (SR)^{2} = (ST)^{2} + (TR)^{2}
(13)^{2} = (5)^{2} + (TR)^{2}
169 = 25 + (TR)^{2}\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; [(13)^{2} = 169 \; and\; (5)^{2} = 25]
169 - 25 = (TR)^{2}
144 = (TR)^{2}\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; [ \sqrt{144} = 12]
TR = 12cm\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; [ \sqrt{12\times 12} = 12]
Now, we can find the area of trapezium
Area \; of\; trapezium = \frac{1}{2} \times [sum\; of \; parallel\; sides] \times height
= \frac{1}{2}\times \left [ 12+7 \right ]\times 12
= 19\times 6\; cm^{2}
= 114\; cm^{2}
Hence, the\; area\; of\; trapezium\; is\; 114\; cm^{2}.

Exercise 12.4

Question:1

How much paper of each shade is needed to make a kite given in Figure, in which ABCD is a square with diagonal 44 cm.

annotation-2021-01-01-184237

Answer:

Red = 242 \; cm^{2}
Yellow = 484\; cm^{2}
Green = 373.14 \; cm^{2}
Given,\; ABCD\; is\; a\; square.
We know that all sides of a square are equal
AB = BC = CD = DA and
\angle A = \angle B = \angle C = \angle D = 90^{\circ} [\because \; All\; angles\; of\; a\; square\; are\; 90^{\circ}]
In \Delta ABC,\; using \; Pythagoras \; theorem
(AC)^{2} = (AB)^{2}+ (BC)^{2}
(44)^{2} = (AB)^{2}+ (BC)^{2}\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; [\Theta \; AB = BC\; equal\; sides]
44\times 44=2\left ( AB \right )^{2}
\frac{44\times 44}{2}=\left ( AB \right )^{2}
(AB)^{2} = 22 \times 44
Taking square root on both sides
\sqrt{\left ( AB \right )^{2}}=\sqrt{22\times 44}
AB=\sqrt{22\times 2\times 22}
AB=22\sqrt{2}
AB = BC = CD = DA =22\sqrt{2}\; cm
Now,\; Area\; of \; square\; ABCD = (side)^{2}
=\left ( 22\sqrt{2}\right )^{2}=22\times 22\times \sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{2}
= 484\times \sqrt{2\times 2}=484\times 2
Area\; of\; square\; ABCD = 968\; cm^{2}
But square ABCD is divided into four coloured squares.
So,\; area\; of\; Yellow \; I =\frac{968}{4}= 242 cm^{2}
Area\; of\; Yellow \; II =\frac{968}{4}= 242 \; cm^{2}
Area\; of\; Green \; III =\frac{968}{4}= 242 \; cm^{2}
Area\; of\; Red \; IV =\frac{968}{4}= 242 \; cm^{2}
Total\; yellow\; area\; = 242\; cm^{2} + 242\; cm^{2} = 484\; cm^{2}
We have to find the lower triangle of green colour as well.
Let\; a = 20\; cm, b = 20\; cm, c = 14\; cm
Semi\; perimeter(s) = \frac{a+b+c}{2}
= \frac{20+20+14}{2}
= \frac{54}{2}=27
Area of Triangular field:
By\; heron's\; formula =\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{27\left ( 27-20\right )\left ( 27-20 \right )\left ( 27-14 \right )}
= \sqrt{3\times 3\times 3\times 7\times 7\times 13}
= 21\sqrt{3\times 13}
= 131.14\; cm^{2}
So\; total\; green\; area\; = 242 + 131.14 = 373.14\; cm^{2}
Hence,\; paper\; required
Red = 242\; cm^{2}
Yellow = 484\; cm^{2}
green = 373.14\; cm^{2}

Question:2

The perimeter of a triangle is 50 cm. One side of a triangle is 4 cm longer than the smaller side and the third side is 6 cm less than twice the smaller side. Find the area of the triangle.

Answer:

\left [ 20\sqrt{30}\; cm^{2} \right ]
Let the smaller side of the triangle be x cm
Let BC = x cm
annotation-2021-01-01-192508
According to question,
One side of a triangle is 4 cm longer than the smaller side
Let this side be AC = x + 4
Also, third side is 6 cm less than twice the smaller side
Let this side be AB = (2x - 6) cm
Given perimeter of \DeltaABC = 50 cm
x + x + 4 + 2x - 6 = 50
4x - 2 = 50
4x = 50+2
4x = 52
x = \frac{52}{4}
x = 13 \; cm
So\; the\; side \; AC = (x + 4) = (13 + 4) = 17\; cm
Side\; AB = \left ( 2x-6 \right )\; cm= \left ( 26-6 \right )\; cm= 20\; cm
Now in \DeltaABC, a = 13 cm, b = 17 cm, and c = 20 cm
Using Heron’s formula
S= \frac{a+b+c}{2}= \frac{13+17+20}{2}= \frac{50}{2}= 25\; cm
Area \; of\; \Delta ABC =\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{25\left ( 25-13 \right )\left ( 25-17 \right )\left ( 25-20 \right )}
=\sqrt{25\times 12\times 8\times 5}
=\sqrt{5\times 5\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 5}
=\sqrt{5\times 5\times 5\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3}
= 5\times 2\times 2\sqrt{30}
Area \; of \; \Delta ABC = 20\sqrt{30}\; cm^{2}
Hence\; the \; area\; of\; triangle\; is \; 20\sqrt{30}\; cm^{2}

Question:3

The area of a trapezium is 475 cm^{2} and the height is 19 cm. Find the lengths of its two parallel sides if one side is 4 cm greater than the other.

Answer:

\left [ 23 \; cm, 27\; cm \right ]
Let the smaller parallel side be CD = x cm
annotation-2021-01-01-194333
Then other parallel side AB = (x + 4) cm
Given, area of trapezium = 475 cm^{2}
Height DE = 19 cm
We \; know \; that, \; Area \; of \: trapezium = \frac{1}{2} \times height \times (sum\; of \; parallel \; sides)
475= \frac{1}{2}\times DE\times \left ( DC+AB \right )
475\times 2= 19\times \left ( x+x+4 \right )
\frac{475\times 2}{19}= 2x+4
25 \times 2 = 2x + 4
50 = 2x + 4
50 - 4 = 2x
46 = 2x
x= \frac{46}{2}
x = 23 cm
So the smaller side CD is 23 cm and other parallel side AB is (23 + 4) cm = 27 cm

A rectangular plot is given for constructing a house, having a measurement of 40 m long and 15 m in the front. According to the laws, a minimum of 3 m, wide space should be left in the front and back each and 2 m wide space on each of other sides. Find the largest area where house can be constructed.

Answer:

[374\; m^{2}]
Let ABCD be the rectangular plot,
AB = 40 cm, AD = 15 cm
annotation-2021-01-01-195711
Given that minimum of 3 m wide space should be left in the front and back
length \; of \; PQ = [AB - (3 + 3)] \; m
PQ = [40 - 6] \; m
PQ = 34 \; m
Similarly, RS = 34 m
Given that 2 m wide space on each of other sides is to be left
Length\; of \; PS = [AD - (2 + 2)] \; m
PS = [15 - 4] \; m
PS = 11 \; m \; and
QR = 11 \; m
So here PQRS is another rectangle formed in the rectangle ABCD
So, Area of rectangle PQRS = length \times breadth

Hence the area of house can be constructed in 374 m^{2}

Question:5

A field is in the shape of a trapezium having parallel sides 90 m and 30 m. These sides meet the third side at right angles. The length of the fourth side is 100 m. If it costs Rs 4 to plough 1m^{2} of the field, find the total cost of ploughing the field.

Answer:

\left [ Rs. \; 19200 \right ]
Given, ABCD is trapezium having parallel side AB = 90 m, CD = 30 m
annotation-2021-01-01-200906
Draw DE parallel to CB
So, BE = 30 m
Now, AE = (AB - EB)
AE = (90 - 30) m
AE = 60 m
So, in right triangle \DeltaAED
\left ( AD \right )^{2}= (AE)^{2} + (DE)^{2} \: \; \; \; \; \; [Using Pythagoras theorem]
\left ( 100 \right )^{2}= (60)^{2} + (DE)^{2}
10000= 3600+(DE)^{2}
10000- 3600= (DE)^{2}
6400= (DE)^{2}
Taking square root on both sides
\sqrt{6400}= \sqrt{(DE)^{2}}
DE = 80 m
We\; know \; that\; the \; area \; of \; trapezium \; ABCD = \frac{1}{2} \times (sum \; of \; parallel \; sides) \times height
= \frac{1}{2} \times (AB+CD) \times DE
= \frac{1}{2} \times (90+30) \times 80
= 120\times 40= 4800\; m^{2}
\because \; cost \; of\; ploughing \; 1 m^{2} \; field = Rs \; 4
\therefore \; cost \; of \; ploughing \; 4800 \; m^{2}\; field = 4800 \times 4 = Rs. \; 19200
Hence the total cost of ploughing the field is Rs. 19200.

annotation-2021-01-01-205429




Answer:

[3 cm]

AB = 7.5 cm, AC = 6.5 cm, BC = 7 cm

Let a = 7.5 cm, b = 6.5 cm, c = 7 cm

Now, S=\frac{a+b+c}{2}=\frac{7.5+6.5+7}{2}=\frac{21}{2}=10.5\; cm

Area\; of\; \Delta ABC,\; By\; heron's\; formula =\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}

=\sqrt{10.5\left ( 10.5-7.5 \right )\left ( 10.5-6.5 \right )\left ( 10.5-7 \right )}

=\sqrt{10.5\times 3\times 4\times 3.5}

=\sqrt{\frac{105}{10}\times 3\times 4\times \frac{35}{10}}

=\sqrt{21\times 3\times 7}=\sqrt{3\times 7\times 3\times 7}=3\times 7=21\; cm^{2}

Now,\; we\; find\; the \; length\; DF \; of\; parallelogram\: DBCE

Area\; of\; parallelogram = base \times height = BC \times DF

Area\; of\; parallelogram = 7DF

According to question,

Area\; of\; \Delta ABC = Area \; of\; parallelogram DBCE

21 = 7DF

\frac{21}{7}= DF

DF = 3\; cm

Hence\; height\; of\; parallelogram\; is\; 3\; cm.

We\; have\: , Area\: of\: trapezium\: PQCD = \frac{5}{6}th\: part\; of\; Area(ABCD)
\frac{1}{2} \times (Sum\; of\; ||\; sides) \times height =\frac{5}{6} \times length \times breadth
\frac{1}{2}\times (PD + QC) \times CD = \frac{5}{6}\times BC \times CD
\frac{1}{2} \times (8x + 9x) \times 25 = \frac{5}{6}\times 51 \times 25
\frac{1}{2}\times 17x \times 25 = \frac{5}{6}\times 51 \times 25
\frac{25}{2}\times 17x = \frac{5}{6}\times 51 \times 25
x = \frac{5}{6}\times 51 \times 25\times \frac{1}{17}\times \frac{2}{25}
x = 5
PD = 8x
= 8\times 5
= 40\; cm
QC = 9x
= 9 x 5 = 45

A design is made on a rectangular tile of dimensions 50 cm × 70 cm as shown in Figure. The design shows 8 triangles, each of sides 26 cm, 17 cm and 25 cm. Find the total area of the design and the remaining area of the tile.
annotation-2021-01-01-213458

Answer:

[The\; area\; of\; the\; design\; is\; 1632\; cm^{2}\; and\; the\; remaining \; area\; of\; the \; tile \; is\; 1868\; cm^{2}.]
We have dimensions of rectangle tile as 50 cm × 70 cm
We know that area of rectangle = length × breadth
Given sides of triangular design: 26 cm, 17 cm, 25 cm
To find the area using Heron’s formula
Let, a = 26 cm, b = 17 cm, c = 25 cm
S=\frac{a+b+c}{2}=\frac{26+17+25}{2}=\frac{68}{2}=34\; cm
Area\; of\; triangle =\sqrt{S\left ( S-a \right )\left ( S-b \right )\left ( S-c \right )}
=\sqrt{34\left ( 34-26 \right )\left ( 34-17 \right )\left ( 34-25 \right )}
= \sqrt{34\times 8\times 17\times 9}
= \sqrt{17\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 17\times 3\times 3}
= 2\times 2\times 3\times 17
Area of \DeltaABC = 204 cm^{2}
But we have 8 triangles of equal area
So area of design = 8 × area of one \Delta
= 8 × 204 = 1632 cm^{2}
Remaining area of tile = Area of tile - Area of design
= (3500 – 1632) cm^{2} = 1868 cm^{2}
Hence the area of the design is 1632 cm^{2} and the remaining area of the tile is 1868 cm^{2}.
