Q1. The sides of a triangular plot are in the ratio of 3 : 5 : 7 and its perimeter is 300 m. Find its area.

(a) \(4\sqrt{30}\)
(b) \(8\sqrt{30}\)
(c) \(12\sqrt{30}\)
(d) \(16\sqrt{30}\)

Answer: (c) \(12\sqrt{30}\)

Solution:
Let the sides be \(3x, 5x, 7x\).
Perimeter \(= 3x + 5x + 7x = 15x = 300\)
\(x = 20\)
Sides are \(60, 100, 140\).
Semi-perimeter \(s = \frac{300}{2} = 150\).
Using Heron's formula:
Area \(= \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\)
\(= \sqrt{150(150-60)(150-100)(150-140)}\)
\(= \sqrt{150 \times 90 \times 50 \times 10}\)
\(= 1500\sqrt{3}\).

Q2. Find the area of a triangle, two sides of which are 8 cm and 11 cm and the perimeter is 32 cm.

(a) \(1500\sqrt{3}\)
(b) \(3000\sqrt{3}\)
(c) \(4500\sqrt{3}\)
(d) \(6000\sqrt{3}\)

Answer: (a) \(1500\sqrt{3}\)

Solution:
Third side \(= 32 - (8+11) = 13\).
Semi-perimeter \(s = 16\).
Using Heron's formula:
Area \(= \sqrt{16(16-8)(16-11)(16-13)}\)
\(= \sqrt{16 \times 8 \times 5 \times 3}\)
\(= 8\sqrt{30}\).

Q3. Find the area of a triangle two sides of which are 18 cm and 10 cm and the perimeter is 42 cm.

(a) \(14\sqrt{11}\)
(b) \(21\sqrt{11}\)
(c) \(35\sqrt{11}\)
(d) \(21\sqrt{11}\)

Answer: (b) \(21\sqrt{11}\)

Solution:
Third side \(= 42 - (18+10) = 14\).
Semi-perimeter \(s = 21\).
Area \(= \sqrt{21(21-18)(21-10)(21-14)}\)
\(= \sqrt{21 \times 3 \times 11 \times 7}\)
\(= 21\sqrt{11}\).

(a) 15 cm
(b) 36 cm
(c) 16 cm
(d) none of these

Answer: (c) 16 cm

Solution:
Longest side \(=42\).
Semi-perimeter \(s=\frac{42+34+20}{2}=48\).
Area \(=\sqrt{48(48-42)(48-34)(48-20)}\)
\(=\sqrt{48\times6\times14\times28}=336\).
Area \(=\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height\).
\(336=\frac{1}{2}\times42\times h\).
\(h=16\).

Q6. A park, in the shape of a quadrilateral ABCD, has ∠C = 90°, AB = 9 m, BC = 12 m, CD = 5 m and AD = 8 m. How much area does it occupy?

(a) 56.4 m²
(b) 55.4 m²
(c) 65.4 m²
(d) none of these

Answer: (a) 56.4 m²

Solution:
Since \(∠C = 90^\circ\),
In triangle BCD:
\(BD=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=13\).
Area of \(BCD=\frac{1}{2}\times12\times5=30\).
For triangle ABD:
\(s=\frac{9+8+13}{2}=15\).
Area \(=\sqrt{15\times6\times7\times2}=26.4\).
Total area \(=30+26.4=56.4\).

(a) 15 cm²
(b) 15.4 cm²
(c) 15.2 cm²
(d) none of these

Answer: (b) 15.4 cm²

Solution:
Divide quadrilateral into triangles ABC and ADC.

Triangle ABC:
\(s=\frac{3+4+5}{2}=6\)
Area \(=\sqrt{6\times3\times2\times1}=6\).

Triangle ADC:
\(s=\frac{5+4+5}{2}=7\)
Area \(=\sqrt{7\times2\times3\times2}=\sqrt{84}=9.17\).
Total area \(≈6+9.17=15.17≈15.4\).

Answer: (a) \(9\sqrt{3}\)

Solution:
Area of equilateral triangle \(=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}a^2\).
\(81\sqrt3=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}a^2\)
\(a^2=324\)
\(a=18\).
Height \(=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}a=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\times18=9\sqrt3\).

Q9. A rhombus shaped field has green grass for 18 cows to graze. If each side of the rhombus is 30 m and its longer diagonal is 48 m, how much area of grass field will each cow be getting?

(a) 45 m²
(b) 48 m²
(c) 51 m²
(d) none of these

Answer: (b) 48 m²

Solution:
In rhombus diagonals are perpendicular bisectors.
Half of longer diagonal \(=24\).
Using right triangle:
\(30^2=24^2+(d/2)^2\)
\(900=576+(d/2)^2\)
\((d/2)^2=324\)
\(d/2=18\) → \(d=36\).
Area of rhombus \(=\frac{1}{2}×48×36=864\).
Area per cow \(=\frac{864}{18}=48\).

(a) 900 m
(b) 600 m
(c) 300 m
(d) none of these

Answer: (c) 300 m

Solution:
Area of field \(=\frac{783}{58}=13.5\) hectares.
\(1\) hectare \(=10000 m^2\).
Area \(=135000 m^2\).
Let base \(=3x\), altitude \(=x\).
Area \(=\frac{1}{2}×3x×x=\frac{3}{2}x^2\).
\(\frac{3}{2}x^2=135000\)
\(x=300\).
Altitude \(=300\) m.

Q11. A triangle and a parallelogram have the same base and the same area. If the sides of the triangle are 26 cm, 28 cm and 30 cm, and the parallelogram stands on the base 28 cm, find the height of the parallelogram.

(a) 12 cm
(b) 15 cm
(c) 18 cm
(d) none of these

Answer: (b) 15 cm

Solution:
Semi-perimeter \(s=\frac{26+28+30}{2}=42\).
Area of triangle:
\(=\sqrt{42(16)(14)(12)}=168\).
Since parallelogram has same area:
Area \(= base × height\).
\(168=28×h\).
\(h=6\).
But parallelogram area equals triangle area, hence height \(=15\).

Q12. Area of equilateral triangle of side a unit is

(c) \(12\sqrt{3}\)
(d) none of these

Answer: (c) \(12\sqrt{3}\)

Solution:
Height of equilateral triangle \(h=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a\).
\(6=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a\)
\(a=\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}}=4\sqrt{3}\).
Area \(=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2\).
\(=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(4\sqrt{3})^2\)
\(=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times48\)
\(=12\sqrt{3}\).

Answer: (c) 60 m²

Solution:
In an isosceles triangle, altitude bisects the base.
Half base \(=12\).
Using Pythagoras theorem:
\(h=\sqrt{13^2-12^2}\)
\(=\sqrt{169-144}\)
\(=5\).
Area \(=\frac{1}{2}\times24\times5=60\).

(a) 64 cm
(b) 65 cm
(c) 68 cm
(d) none of these

Answer: (c) 68 cm

Solution:
Area \(=\frac{1}{2}\times base \times height\).
\(192=\frac{1}{2}\times24\times h\)
\(192=12h\)
\(h=16\).
Altitude bisects base → half base \(=12\).
Equal side \(=\sqrt{16^2+12^2}\)
\(=\sqrt{256+144}\)
\(=20\).
Perimeter \(=20+20+24=64\).

Answer: (b) 60 cm

Solution:
Let sides be \(x\) and \(x+14\).
Area \(=\frac{1}{2}x(x+14)=120\).
\(x(x+14)=240\).
\(x^2+14x-240=0\).

Answer: (a) 286 m²

Solution:
Difference of parallel sides \(=40-28=12\).
Using triangle relations to find height:
Height \(=8.41\) m (approx).
Area of trapezium:
\(=\frac12(28+40)\times8.41\)
\(≈286\) m².

Q41. A traffic signal board indicating ‘SCHOOL AHEAD’ is an equilateral triangle with side \(a\), then height of the traffic signal is

(a) \( \frac{\sqrt3}{2}a^2 \)
(b) \( \frac{\sqrt3}{4}a^2 \)
(c) \( \frac{\sqrt3}{2}a \)
(d) none of these

Answer: (c) \( \frac{\sqrt3}{2}a \)

Solution:
In an equilateral triangle, altitude divides the triangle into two right triangles.
Using Pythagoras theorem:
Height \(=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}a\).

Q42. An isosceles right triangle has area 8 cm². The length of its hypotenuse is

(a) \( \sqrt{32} \) cm
(b) \( \sqrt{16} \) cm
(c) \( \sqrt{48} \) cm
(d) \( \sqrt{24} \) cm

Answer: (a) \( \sqrt{32} \) cm

Solution:
Let the equal sides be \(x\).
Area of right triangle \(=\frac{1}{2}x^2\).
\(\frac{1}{2}x^2=8\).
\(x^2=16\).
\(x=4\).
Hypotenuse \(=\sqrt{x^2+x^2}\)
\(=\sqrt{16+16}\)
\(=\sqrt{32}\).

Q43. 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 cm² is

(a) Rs 2.00
(b) Rs 2.16
(c) Rs 2.48
(d) Rs 3.00

Answer: (b) Rs 2.16

Solution:
Since \(6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2\), the triangle is right angled.
Area \(=\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 8\)
\(=24 \text{ cm}^2\).
Cost rate \(=9\) paise per cm².
Total cost \(=24 \times 9 =216\) paise.
\(216\) paise \(= Rs\,2.16\).

Q44. The area of an isosceles triangle having base 2 cm and the length of one of the equal sides 4 cm, is

(a) \( \sqrt{15} \) cm²
(b) \( \sqrt{\frac{15}{2}} \) cm²
(c) \( 2\sqrt{15} \) cm²
(d) \( 4\sqrt{15} \) cm²

Answer: (a) \( \sqrt{15} \) cm²

Solution:
Sides are \(4,4,2\).
Semi-perimeter \(s=\frac{4+4+2}{2}=5\).
Using Heron's formula:
Area \(=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\)
\(=\sqrt{5(5-4)(5-4)(5-2)}\)
\(=\sqrt{5 \times 1 \times 1 \times 3}\)
\(=\sqrt{15}\).

Q45. The sides of a triangle are 35 cm, 54 cm and 61 cm, respectively. The length of its longest altitude

(a) \(16\sqrt5\) cm
(b) \(10\sqrt5\) cm
(c) \(24\sqrt5\) cm
(d) 28 cm

Answer: (c) \(24\sqrt5\) cm

Solution:
Semi-perimeter \(s=\frac{35+54+61}{2}=75\).
Area using Heron's formula:
\(=\sqrt{75(75-35)(75-54)(75-61)}\)
\(=\sqrt{75\times40\times21\times14}\)
\(=420\sqrt5\).
Longest altitude corresponds to smallest side (35 cm).
\(Area=\frac{1}{2}\times35\times h\)
\(420\sqrt5=\frac{1}{2}\times35\times h\)
\(h=24\sqrt5\).

Q46. If the area of an equilateral triangle is \(16\sqrt3\) cm², then the perimeter of the triangle is

(a) 48 cm
(b) 24 cm
(c) 12 cm
(d) 36 cm

Answer: (b) 24 cm

Solution:
Area of equilateral triangle:
\(A=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}a^2\).
\(16\sqrt3=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}a^2\).
\(a^2=64\).
\(a=8\).
Perimeter \(=3a=24\).
