B
Semi perimeter of a triangle = (a+b+c)2 ⇒ (3+5+6)2=7m
Area of a triangle = √s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c) ⇒ √7(7−3)(7−5)(7−6)
⇒ √7×4×2×1
⇒ √14×4
⇒√56=2√14 m2
Since,cost of painting 1 m2 of wall is ₹5,
The cost of painting the whole wall =5×2√14=₹ 10√14.
:
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(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)
3√7 = √(a+3)(a+3−a)(a+3−a)(a+3−6)
= √(a+3)(a−3)(9)
= √(a2−9)(9)
We take square on both sides and get,
63 = (a2−9)×9
⇒(a2−9) = 7
⇒a2 = 7+9 = 16
⇒ a= 4cm
:
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(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)
= √10(10−6)(10−6)(10−8)
= √10×4×4×2
= √2×5×4×4×2
⇒8√5cm2
Area of rhombus = 2 (Area of the triangle containing the diagonal)
Area of the rhombus = 2×8√5 = 16√5 cm2
:
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(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)
Semi-Perimeter s = perimeter2
=3402
=170cm
∴A=√170(170−160)(170−100)(170−80)
=√170×10×70×90
=100√1071cm2
The value of A is 1071

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.
:
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
:
s=5+6+32
=7 cm
Area A=√s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)
=√7(7−5)(7−6)(7−3)
=√7×2×1×4
=√56 cm2
The value of A is 56.
:
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.
:
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(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)
=√210(210−120)(210−140)(210−160)
=√210×90×70×50
=2100√15 m2
