- Question
- A parallelogram has sides 60 m and 40 m and one of the diagonal is 80 m long. Then its area is?
Options- A. 480 sq. m
- B. 320 sq. m
- C. 600? 15 sq. m
- D. 450 ? 15 sq. m
- Correct Answer
- 600? 15 sq. m
ExplanationAB = 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 - 1. The two parallel sides of a trapezium are 1 meters and 2 meters respectively . The perpendicular distance between them is 6 meters. The area of the trapezium is?

Correct Answer: 9 sq. meters .
Explanation:
Area of trapezium = 1/2 x sum of parallel sides x perpendicular distance between them
= 1/2 (1 + 2) x 6 m2
= 9 m2
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: 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
Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
Explanation:
We know that in any triangle
"the sum of two sides is always greater than its third side" and
"the difference of two sides is always less than its third side".
(i) 2 + 3 is not greater than 5
(ii) |5 - 2| not less than 3
