Question 42.


A triangular wall having sides 3 m, 5 m and 6 m has to be painted. If the cost of painting 1 m2 of a wall is ₹ 5, what is the cost of painting the whole wall?


  1.     ₹ 1613
  2.     ₹ 1014
  3.     ₹ 1410
  4.     ₹14
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> ₹ 1014
:
B

Semi perimeter of a triangle = (a+b+c)2 (3+5+6)2=7m


Area of a triangle = s(sa)(sb)(sc)   7(73)(75)(76)
  7×4×2×1
  14×4


56=214 m2


Since,cost of painting 1 m2 of wall is ₹5,


The cost of painting the whole wall =5×214= 1014.


Question 43.


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 44.


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.     93
  2.     39
  3.     165
  4.     85
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 165
:
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 = 165 cm2


Question 45.


The sides of a triangular plot are in the ratio of 16: 8: 10 and its perimeter is 340 m. Its area in m2 is 100A. The value of A is 


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 165
:

Let the sides of the triangle be 16x, 8x and 10x. 
Then, 16x + 8x + 10x = 340
34x = 340
x = 34034
x =10.


Hence the sides are 160 cm, 80 cm and 100 cm.
Using the Heron's formula, Area A = s(sa)(sb)(sc)


Semi-Perimeter s = perimeter2
=3402
=170cm
A=170(170160)(170100)(17080)
=170×10×70×90
=1001071cm2
The value of A is 1071


Question 46.


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 47.


The area of a rectangle is 96 cm2 and its length is 12 cm. The perimeter of the rectangle is same as the perimeter of a triangle. Find the semi perimeter of the triangle.


  1.     10 cm
  2.     40 cm
  3.     20 cm
  4.     80 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 20 cm
:
C

Area of a rectangle = length × breadth
96 = 12 × breadth


Breadth = 8 cm


Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + breadth) = 2(12+8) cm = 40 cm


Perimeter of the rectangle = Perimeter of the triangle


Therefore, semi perimeter of the triangle =402=20 cm


Question 48.


The sides of a triangle are 5 cm, 6 cm and 3 cm long. The area of the triangle is A cm2. Then the value of A is ___.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 20 cm
:
s=5+6+32
=7 cm
Area A=s(sa)(sb)(sc)
=7(75)(76)(73)
=7×2×1×4
=56 cm2
The value of A is 56.
Question 49.


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


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 20 cm
:

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

Thus the value of A = 3.


Question 50.


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.


  1.     42015 m2
  2.     10507 m2
  3.     105015 m2
  4.     210015 m2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 210015 m2
:
D
Let the sides be 6x, 7x, 8x.
Then, 6x+7x+8x=420
21x=420
x=20
the sides are:
a =120 m, b =140 m, c =160 m
Semi-perimeter s = 4202=210 m
A=s(sa)(sb)(sc)
=210(210120)(210140)(210160)
=210×90×70×50
=210015 m2
