Question 1. The area of an equilateral triangle whose side is 2 cm is A. The integral value of A is___
 Discuss Question

:
The area of an equilateral triangle is 34a2, where a = 2 cm.
Hence the area is 34×22
=3cm2

Thus the value of A = 3.
Question 2. Find the area of a parallelogram ABCD in which AB = 3 cm and BC = 4 cm and AC = 5 cm using Heron's formula.
  1.    6 cm2
  2.    12 cm2
  3.    18 cm2
  4.    24 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 12 cm2
:
B
Since ABCD is a parallelogram, its opposite sides will be equal.
AB = 3 cm, BC =4 cm and AC = 5 cm
Now in triangle ABC,
Area of the triangle using heron’s formula,
s=Perimeter2=3+4+52=6cm
Area =s(sa)(sb)(sc)
=6(63)(64)(65)
= 36
= 6cm2
Area of the parallelogram = 2 (Area of triangle ABC)
The area of the parallelogram=2×6=12cm2
Question 3. Heron's formula cannot be used in finding the area of quadrilateral.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    56√5 cm
  4.    108 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
The given statement is false. Heron's formula can be used in finding the area of quadrilateralas quadrilateral is formed by two triangles.
Question 4. If the height of a triangle is 10 cm and its area is 40 cm2, then the base of the triangle is 6 cm.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    √1463 cm2
  4.    24√3 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Area of a triangle=12×base×height=40
base=40×2height
base=8010=8cm
Question 5. State whether true or false:
​If in a right angled triangle only two sides are given, then its area can be calculated.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    20 cm
  4.    80 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
In a right angled triangle, if the base and the height are given, the area can be calculated directly by using 12 × base × height. If the hypotenuse and either the base or the height are given, then the third side can be found using Pythagoras' theorem. Then the area can be calculated using the same formula.
Question 6. If the area of a rhombus-shaped box is 67cm2 and its one diagonal is 6cm. Find the side of the rhombus.
  1.    8 cm
  2.    3 cm
  3.    4 cm
  4.    5 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 4 cm
:
C
Let the side of the rhombus = a
Area of the triangle containing the diagonal = 12 times area of the rhombus
One of the diagonal = 6 cm
Semi perimeter = 6+a+a2=a+3
Now the area of the triangle containing the diagonal =s(sa)(sb)(sc)
37 = (a+3)(a+3a)(a+3a)(a+36)
=(a+3)(a3)(9)
= (a29)(9)
We take square on both sides and get,
63 = (a29)×9
(a29) = 7
a2 = 7+9 = 16
a= 4cm
Question 7. If the side of a rhombus is 6 cm and its one diagonal is 8 cm. Find the area of the rhombus in cm2.
  1.    9√3
  2.    3√9
  3.    16√5
  4.    8√5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 16√5
:
C
Side of the rhombus = 6 cm
One of the diagonal = 8 cm
Semi perimeter of the triangle containing the diagonal = (6+6+8)2 = 10 cm
Area of the triangle containing the diagonal =s(sa)(sb)(sc)
= 10(106)(106)(108)
= 10×4×4×2
= 2×5×4×4×2
85cm2
Area of rhombus = 2 (Area of the triangle containing the diagonal)
Area of the rhombus = 2×85 = 165cm2
Question 8. If an isosceles triangle has a  perimeter of 18 cm and base 8 cm, then its area is ___ .
  1.    45 cm2
  2.    68 cm2
  3.    12 cm2
  4.    20 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 12 cm2
:
C
Let each of its equal sides be x.
Then, 2x+8=18 x=5cm
Hence, the sides are 5cm, 5cm and 8 cm.
Using the Heron's formula,
Area(A)=s(sa)(sb)(sc)
where s = semi- perimeter and a,b,c are the three sides of the triangle.
SemiPerimeter(s)=perimeter2
=182 =9cm
A=9(95)(95)(98)
=9×4×4×1
=144cm2
=12cm2
Question 9. What Is The Area(in Cm2) Of This Triangle?___
What is the area(in cm2) of this triangle?
___
 Discuss Question

:
(Area of triangle) =12×base×height
The three sides are (10cm, 6cm and 8cm).
102=62+82
The sides satisfy Pythagoras theorem. Hence, this is a right-angled triangle, with the sides 6cm and 8cm being the base and the height, respectively.
Hence, Area=12×6×8 cm2
=24cm2
Question 10. The area of a square is 36 cm2. If the side of the square is equal to the side of an equilateral triangle, then find the area of the triangle.
  1.    9√3 cm
  2.    6√3 cm
  3.    7√3 cm
  4.    4√3 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 9√3 cm
:
A
Area of square = Side2
36 =Side2
Side = 6 cm
Side of triangle = 6 cm
Semi perimeter of the triangle s =6+6+62cm=9cm
Area of the triangle =s(sa)(sb)(sc)
=9(96)3
=243
=93cm
