Question 31.


12×base×height is the formula for which type of triangles? 


  1.     Right angled triangles
  2.     Isosceles triangles
  3.     Equilateral triangles
  4.     Scalene triangles
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Right angled triangles
:
A, B, C, and D

Using formula 12×base×height we can find the area of any triangle irrespective of its type if we know the base and the height of the given triangle.


Question 32.


A roof is made by using 20 triangular rocks which are equally divided in 4 different colours.The sides of each piece are 2 m, 5 m and 5 m. What is the area covered by each colour?


  1.     86m2
  2.     106m2
  3.     126m2
  4.     166m2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 106m2
:
B

S=Perimeter2 =(2+5+5)2=6 m
Area of the triangle= s(sa)(sb)(sc)
 =6(62)(65)(65)
 =6×4×1×1
 =26 m2
Since there are 20 rocks of 4 colours, number of rocks of each colour =204=5
`
Therefore the area covered by each type of rock will be =26×5 =106 m2


Question 33.


Find the area of a triangle, two sides of which are 8 cm and 12 cm and the perimeter is 38 cm .


  1.     163 cm2
  2.     64 cm2
  3.     1463 cm2
  4.     243 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1463 cm2
:
C

Third side = perimeter - (sum of other two sides) = 38 - 20 = 18 cm
Semi perimeter of a triangle = Perimeter2=382=19 cm
According to heron's formula,
Area of a triangle =s(sa)(sb)(sc)=19(1912)(198)(1918)=19×7×11×1=1463 cm2


Question 34.


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.     243 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

Area of a triangle=12×base×height=40
base=40×2height


base=8010=8 cm
 


Question 35.


What is the area of an equilateral triangle whose side is 8 cm?


  1.     163  cm2
  2.     16 cm2
  3.     3  cm2
  4.     32 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 163  cm2
:
A
 Semi perimeter of a triangle (s) = a+b+c2
8+8+82=12cm
Area of a triangle = s(sa)(sb)(sc)
=12(128)(128)(128)
=12×4×4×4
=3×4×4×4×4
= 163 cm2
Question 36.


If two sides of a triangle are 8 cm and 6 cm and its perimeter is 26 cm. Find the third side of the triangle.


  1.     12 cm
  2.     10 cm
  3.     9 cm
  4.     11 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 12 cm
:
A

Perimeter = a +b +c (i.e. the sum of length of all the sides)
Third side = 26 - 8 - 6
                                          = 26 - (8+6)
                                          = 26 - 14
                                          =12
Third side = 12 cm


Question 37.


What is the area of a right angled triangle if its sides are 6cm, 8cm and 10cm?


  1.     26 cm2
  2.     24 cm2
  3.     36 cm2
  4.     40 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 24 cm2
:
B

Area of triangle = 12×base×height



The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle. Hence, the base and the height are 6 cm and 8 cm.
area=12×6×8
=24 cm2


Question 38.


A triangular advertisement board has sides 11m, 15m and 6m. If the advertisement yields an earning of Rs1000/m2per month. In 3 and half years, the company will earn A2. Find the value of A ___.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 24 cm2
:
Using the Heron's formula, Area (A)= s(sa)(sb)(sc).
Semi-Perimeter (s) = a+b+c2 =11+15+62
=16 m
A=16(1611)(1615)(166) =202 m2
3 and a half years = 12 x 3 + 6 = 42 months.
Earning in 3 and a half years =202×1000×42 =Rs.8400002
The value of A is 840000.
Question 39.


Which of these cannot be the area of a right-angled triangle if the hypotenuse of the  triangle is 13 m and one other side is 5 m?


  1.     32.5 m2
  2.     78 m2
  3.     30 m2
  4.     60 m2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 78 m2
:
A, B, and D

Which Of These Cannot Be The Area Of A Right-angled Triangle...
Let the triangle be ABC where AC = 13 m and BC = 5 m
Using Pythagoras theorem we can write,
AB2=AC2BC2
              
Therefore, AB2=13252AB=12 m
Area of triangle = 12×base×height=12×5×12=30 m2


Question 40.


The edges of a triangular board are 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm. The cost of painting it at the rate of 25 paise per cm2 is Rs. ___


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 78 m2
:

a=6 cm,b=8 cm,c=10 cm
s=a+b+c2
s=6+8+102
=12cm
A=s(sa)(sb)(sc)
A=12(126)(128)(1210)
=24 cm2
The cost of painting it =24×25=600 paise
=Rs. 6
