MCQ 541 Mark
The lengths of the three sides of a triangle are $30\ cm, 24\ cm$ and $18\ cm$ respectively. The length of the altitude of the triangle corresponding to the smallest side is:
  • A
    $18\ cm$
  • B
    $30\ cm$
  • C
    $12\ cm$
  • $24\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$24\ cm$
Let:
$a = 30\ cm, b = 24\ cm$ and $c = 18\ cm$
$\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2}=\frac{30+24+18}{2}=36\text{cm}$
On applying Heron's formula, we get
Area of triangle $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt{36(36-30)(36-24)(36-18)}$
$=\sqrt{36\times6\times12\times18}$
$=\sqrt{12\times3\times12\times6\times3}$
$=12\times3\times6$
$=216\text{cm}^2$
The smallest side is $18\ cm.$
Hence, the altitude of the triangle corresponding to $18\ cm$ is given by:
Area of triangle $= 216\ cm^2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\times\text{Base}\times\text{Height}=216$
$\Rightarrow\text{Height}=\frac{216\times2}{18}=24\text{cm}$

The sides of a triangle are $11\ cm, 15\ cm$ and $16\ cm.$ The altitude to the largest side is:
  • A
    $30\sqrt{7}\text{cm}$
  • B
    $\frac{15\sqrt{7}}{2}\text{cm}$
  • $\frac{15\sqrt{7}}{2}\text{cm}$
  • D
    $30\text{cm}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{15\sqrt{7}}{2}\text{cm}$

$\text{s}=\frac{11+60+61}{2}=66\text{m}$
Area of $\triangle=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt{21\times10\times6\times5}=30\sqrt{7}\text{cm}^2$
Also if we choose largest side and its Altitude, the area would be
$\text{A}=\frac12\times\text{largest side}\times\text{h}$
$330=\frac12\times11\times\text{Height}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Height}=\frac{2\times330}{11}=60\text{m}$
Hence, correct option is $(d).$

  • B
    $30\sqrt{7}\text{cm}$
  • C
    $30\text{cm}$
  • $\frac{15\sqrt7}{4}\text{cm}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{15\sqrt7}{4}\text{cm}$
$\text{s}=\frac{11+15+16}{2}=21\text{cm}$
Area of $=\triangle=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt{21\times10\times6\times5}=30\sqrt7\text{cm}^2$
Also if we choose largest side and its Altitude, the area would be
$\text{A}=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{largest side}\times\text{h} $
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\times16\times\text{h}=30\sqrt7$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{30\sqrt{7}}{8}=\frac{15\sqrt{7}}{4}\text{cm}$

The sides of a triangle are $50\ cm, 78\ cm$ and $112\ cm.$ The smallest altitude is:
  • A
    $20\ cm$
  • B
    $40\ cm$
  • C
    $50\ cm$
  • $30\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$30\ cm$


The smallest altitude is $\perp$ drawn to the largest side of a $\triangle$ from opposite point.
i.e. $BD$ Area of $\triangle=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{AC}\times​​\text{BD}=\frac{1}{2}\times112\times\text{BD}$
$=56\times\text{BD}$
$\text{s}=\frac{50+78+112}{2}=120\text{cm}$
$s - AB = 70\ cm, s - BC = 42\ cm, s - AC = 8\ cm$
Area $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{AB})-(\text{s}-\text{BC})(\text{s}-\text{AC})}$
$=\sqrt{120\times70\times42\times8}$
$=1680\text{cm}^2$
Now, $56 × BD = 1680\ cm^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{BD}=\frac{1680}{56}=30\text{cm}$

Since diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at perpendicular, therefore
$\text{OC}=\frac{8}{2}=4\text{cm}$
In triangle $OBC,$
$\text{OB}=\sqrt{5^2-4^2}=\sqrt{25-16}=3\text{cm}$
$\text{AC}=2\times3=6\text{cm}$
Area of rhombus $=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{Product of diagonal}$

Let $\triangle\text{PQR}$ be an isoscale triangle and $\text{PX}\bot\text{QR}.$
Now,
Area of triangle $= 48\ cm^2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\times\text{QR}\times\text{PX}=48$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{96}{16}=6\text{cm}$
Also,
$\text{QX}=\frac{1}{2}\times24=12\text{cm}\ \text{and}\ \text{PX}=12\text{cm}$
$\text{PQ}=\sqrt{\text{QX}^2+\text{PX}^2}$
$\text{a}=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}=\sqrt{64+36}=\sqrt{100}=10\text{cm}$
$\therefore$ Perimeter $= (10 + 10 + 16)\ cm = 36\ cm$

Area of triangle with sides $a, b, c (\text{A})=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
New sides are $2a, 2b$ and $2c$

The area of a rhombus is $96\ cm^2$. If one of its diagonals is $16\ cm$, then the length of its side is:
  • $10\ cm$
  • B
    $12\ cm$
  • C
    $8\ cm$
  • D
    $6\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$10\ cm$

Since diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at a right angle.
Therefore, the side of the rhombus is the hypotenuse of a triangle.
Side $=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}=10\text{cm}.$

Using Pythagoras theorem, in $\triangle\text{ABC}$
$AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$
$⇒ 5^2 = 3^2 + 4^2$
$⇒ 25 = 25$
Hence, $ABC$ is a right triangle.
Area of $\triangle\text{ABC}=\frac{1}{2}\times3\times4=6\text {sq}.\text{cm}$
Semiperimeter of $\triangle\text{ACD}=\text{s}=\frac{(5+5+4)}{2}=\frac{14}{2}=7\text{cm}$
Area of $\triangle{\text{ABC}}$ can be determined by using Heron’s formula.
$\text{A}=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s-a})(\text{s-b})(\text{s-c})}$
$=\sqrt{7(7-5)(7-5)(7-4)} $
$=\sqrt{(7\times2\times2\times3)}$
$=9.17\text{sq}.\text{cm}$
Therefore, the area of quad. $ABCD =$ Area of $\triangle{\text{ABC}}$
$=\text{Area}\text{ of }\triangle\text{ABC}+\text{Area}\text{ of }\triangle\text{ACD}$

$100\sqrt{3}\text{m}^2$

Perimeter of triangle $= 3a$
Now, $3\text{a}=60$
$\Rightarrow\text{ a}=60\div3=20\text{m}$
Area of equilateral $\triangle=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(\text{side})^2$
$=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times(20)^2=100\sqrt{3}\text{m}^2$

If the area of an equilateral triangle is $36\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2,$ then the perimeter of the triangle is:
  • A
    $12\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2$
  • B
    $12\ cm$
  • C
    $18\ cm$
  • $36\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$36\ cm$
$36\sqrt{3}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\text{a}^2$
$\text{a}^2=\frac{36\sqrt{3}\times4}{\sqrt{3}}=144$
$a = 12\ cm$

  • A
    $4+8\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$
  • B
    $12\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$
  • C
    $8+\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$
  • $8+4\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$8+4\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$

Let each of the two equal sides of an isosceles right triangle be $a\ cm.$
Then, third side $=\text{a}\sqrt{2}\text{m}$
Area of $\triangle=\frac{1}{2}\times2\times2$
$\Rightarrow8=\frac{\text{a}^2}{2}$
$⇒ a^2 = 4\ cm$
$⇒ a = 4\ cm$
$⇒$ Perimeter
$\Rightarrow\text{a}+\text{a}+\text{a}\sqrt{2}=4+4+4\sqrt{2}$
$=8+4\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2.$

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are $74\ cm$ and $40\ cm$ and one of its diagonals is $102\ cm.$ Area of the parallelogram is:
  • $2448\ sq.cm$
  • B
    $4896\ sq.cm$
  • C
    $612\ sq.cm$
  • D
    $1224\ sq.cm$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$2448\ sq.cm$
Let the two adjacent sides of the parallelogram be $a = 74\ cm, b = 40\ cm$
Let the length of diagonal be $c = 102\ cm$
These two sides and the diagonal forms a triangle
semi perimeter, $\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2}$
$\text{s}=\frac{74+40+102}{2}$
$=\frac{216}{2}$
$= 108\ cm$
By Heron's formula, we have area of triangle $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
Area of triangle $=\sqrt{108(108-74)(108-40)(108-102)}$
$= 1224\ cm^2$
therefore, area of parallelogram $= 1224 × 2$

An isosceles right triangle has an area of $8\ cm^2$. The length of its hypotenuse is:
  • $\sqrt{{32}\text{cm}}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{{16}\text{cm}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{{48}\text{cm}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{{24}\text{cm}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\sqrt{{32}\text{cm}}$
$\text{Given that area of the isosceles triangle}=8\text{cm}^2$
As the given triangle is isosceles triangle, let base $=$ height $= h$
Hence,
$\frac{1}{2}\times\text{h}\times\text{h=8} $
$\frac{1}{2}\text{h}^2=8$
$\text{h}^2=16$
$\text{h}=4\text{cm}$
$\text{Since it is isosceles right triangle,}\text{Hypotenuse}^2 = \text{Base}^2+\text{Height}^2$
$\text{Hypotenuse}^2 = 42 + 42$
$\text{Hypotenuse}^2 = 32$

  • $21\sqrt11\text{cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$21\sqrt11\text{cm}^2$
Explanation: Perimeter$ = 42$

$18 + 10 + c = 42$
$c = 42 - 28 = 14\ cm$
$\text{Semi perimeter,s}=\frac{42}{2}=21\text{cm}$
Using Heron’s formula:
$\text{A}=\sqrt{8(8-\text{a})(8-\text{b})(8-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt{21(21-18)(21-10)(21-14)}$
$=\sqrt{(21\times3\times11\times7)}$
