Correct Answer: 24 cm
Explanation:
Let the parallel sides be 3a and 5a.
So Area of trapezium = 1/2 x sum of parallel side x perpendicular distance between them.
? 1/2 (3a +5a) x 12 = 384
? 8a = 64
? a =8
? Smaller side = 3x = 3 x 8 = 24 cm.
Correct Answer: 80 meters
Explanation:
Cross section area = 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d
where a and b are the parallel sides, d is the perpendicular distance between them.
? 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d = 640
? d = (640 x 2) / 16 = 80m
Correct Answer: 4 cm
Explanation:
We know that area of triangle = ( base x height ) / 2
So area of triangle = (BC x AD) / 2 = (AC x BE) / 2
? (10 x 4.4) / 2 = (11 x h) / 2
? h= (10 x 4.4)/11 = 4 cm
Correct Answer: 12 m
Explanation:
Let the longer side = l, shorter side = b and diagonal = d
Then, area of rectangular carpet = l x b = 60 ....(1)
And from question d + l = 5b
? d = 5b - l ...(2)
? d2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
? l2+ b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
? l2+b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x 60
? 24b2 = 600
? b = ?25 = 5 m
? l = 60 / b = 60 / 5 = 12 m
Correct Answer: 9 cm 2
Explanation:
Area of a triangle formed by joining the mid point of the sides of the triangle is 1/4th of area of the original triangle .
So area of ? DEF = 36/ 4 = 9 m2
Correct Answer: 600? 15 sq. m
Explanation:
AB = 60 m, BC = 40 m and AC = 80 m
? s = (60 + 40 + 80 ) / 2 m = 90 m
(s-a) = 90 - 60 = 30 m,
(s-b) = 90 - 40 = 50 m and
(s-c) = 90 - 80 = 10 m
? Area of ? ABC =
?s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
= ?90 x 30 x 50 x 10 m2
= 300?15 m2
? Area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x area of ? ABC
= 600?15 m2
Correct Answer: 12 cm2
Explanation:
AB = 6 cm ; AD = 4 cm and ? BAD = 30°
Area of parallelogram ABCD = AB x AD x sin 30°
= 6 x 4 x sin 30° = 12 cm2
Correct Answer: 224 sq. cm
Explanation:
Area of parallelogram = Side of parallelogram x distance from the opposite side
= 14 x 16 cm2
= 224 cm2
Correct Answer: 2/5
Explanation:
Let length of the longer diagonal = d cm
Then, length of other diagonal = 0.8 x d cm
Area of rhombus = (1/2) x d x 0.8 x d = 2/5 d2
= 2/5 d2
Area of square of the length of the longer diagonal = d2
So the area of the rhombus is 2/5 times the square of the length of the longer diagonal.
Correct Answer: 12 cm, 24 cm
Explanation:
Area of rhombus = (d1 x d2) / 2
? (d x 2d ) / 2 = 144
? d2 = 144
? d = 12
? Length of diagonal = 12 cm, 24 cm
