The sides of a parallelogram are $100m$ each and the length of the longest diagonal is $160m.$ The area of a parallelogram is:
- ✓
$9600\ sq.m$
- B
$9000\ sq.m$
- C
$9200\ sq.m$
- D
$8800\ sq.m$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $9600\ sq.m$
$9600\ sq.m$ Solution:The diagonal divides the parallelogram into two equivalent triangles. Hence, its area will be equal to the sum of the area of the two triangles.
Thus, the sides of one triangle will be $100m, 160m,$ and $100m.$
So, $a = 100m, b = 160m, c = 100m$
$\text{Semiperimeter}(\text{s})=\frac{(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})}{2} =\frac{(100+160+100)}{2}=\frac{360}{2}=180\text{m} $
Using Heron’s formula,
$\text{A}=\sqrt{{3}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text({s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{ c})}$
$= \sqrt{{180}(180-100)(180-160)(180-100)}$
$=\sqrt{(180\times80\times20\times80)}$
$= 4800\text{s}\text{q}.\text{m}$
$\text{Thus},\text{the area of the parallelogram}=2\times4800\text{s}\text{q}.\text{m} =9600\text{s}\text{q}.\text{m}$

- ✓
$\sqrt{32}\text{cm}$
- B
$\sqrt{24}\text{cm}$
- C
$\sqrt{16}\text{cm}$
- D
$\sqrt{48}\text{cm}$

The perimeter of a triangle is $60\ cm$. If its sides are in the ratio $1 : 3 : 2,$ then its smallest side is:
- A
$5\ cm$
- ✓
$10\ cm$
- C
$15\ cm$
- D
$30\ cm$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $10\ cm$
Given: Ratio of sides: $1 : 3 : 2$
Let the sides of triangle be $x, 3x$ and $2x\ cm$
Perimeter $= 60\ cm$
$x + 3x + 2x = 60$

- ✓
$48\ cm^2$
- B
$36\ cm^2$
- C
$30\ cm^2$
- D

AnswerCorrect option: A. $48\ cm^2$
Let the height of the isosceles triangle be $x\ cm$
Then length of equal side $= (x + 2)cm$
Since altitude of isosceles triangle bisects the base.
Then, in a right-angled triangle,
$(x + 2)^2 = x^2 + 6^2$
$⇒ 4 + 4x = 36$
$⇒ x = 8\ cm$
Now, area of triangle $ = \frac{1}{2}\times \text{Base}\times\text{Height}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times12\times8=48\text{cm}^2$

Let $ABC$ be a triangle in which sides $AB = 35\ cm, BC = 54\ cm$ and $CA = 61\ cm$
Now semi-perimeter of a triangle,
$\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2}=\frac{35+54+61}{32}=\frac{150}{2}=75\text{cm}$
$\Big[\therefore$ semiperimeter, $\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2}\Big]$
$\because$ Area of $\triangle\text{ABC}=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$ [by Heron's formula]
$=\sqrt{75(75-35)(75-54)(75-61)}$
$=\sqrt{75\times40\times21\times14}$
$=\sqrt{25\times3\times4\times2\times5\times7\times3\times7\times2}$
$=5\times2\times2\times3\times7\sqrt{5}$
$=420\sqrt{5}\text{cm}^2$
Also, Area of $\triangle\text{ABC}=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{AB}\times\text{Altitude}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\times35\times\text{CD}$
$\Rightarrow\text{CD}=\frac{420\times2\sqrt5}{35}$
$\therefore\text{CD}=24\sqrt5$
Hence, the length of altitude is $24\sqrt5\text{cm}.$

- C
$300\sqrt3\text{cm}^2$
- D
$600\sqrt3\text{cm}^2$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $900\sqrt3\text{cm}^2$
Given, Perimeter $= 180\ cm$
$3a = 180 ($Equilateral triangle$)$
$a = 60\ cm$
Semi-perimeter $\frac{180}{2}=90\text{cm}$
Now as per Heron’s formula,
$\text{A}=\sqrt{\text{a}(8-\text{a})(8-\text{b})(8-\text{c})}$
In the case of an equilateral triangle, $a = b = c = 60\ cm$
Substituting these values in the Heron’s formula, we get the area of the triangle as:
$\text{A}=\sqrt{90(90-60)(90-60)(90-60)} $
$ = \sqrt{(90\times{30}\times{30}\times{30})}$
$\text{A}=900\sqrt{3\text{cm}^2}$

- ✓
$750\ cm^2$
- C

- D
$500\ cm^2$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $750\ cm^2$
Let the sides of the triangle be $5x \ cm, 12x \ cm$ and $13x\ cm.$
Perimeter $=$ Sum of all sides
Or, $150 = 5x + 12x + 13x$
Or, $30x = 150x$
Or, $x = 5$
Thus, the sides of the triangle are $5 × 5\ cm, 12 × 5\ cm$ and $13 × 5\ cm,$ i.e., $25\ cm, 60\ cm$ and $65\ cm$.
Now,
Let:
$a = 25\ cm, b = 60\ cm$ and $c = 65\ cm$
$\text{s}=\frac{150}{2}=75\text{cm}$
By using Heron's formula, we have:
Area of triangle $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt{75(75-25)(75-60)(75-65)}$

$=\sqrt{36(36-30)(36-24)(36-18)}$
$=\sqrt{36\times6\times12\times18}$
$=\sqrt{12\times3\times12\times6\times3}$
$=12\times3\times6$
$=216\text{cm}^2$
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 height of an equilateral triangle is $6\ cm.$ Its area:
- ✓
$12\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2$
- B
$6\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2$
- C
$12\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$
- D
$18\text{cm}^2$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $12\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2$
Height of equilateral triangle $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times\text{Side}$
$\Rightarrow6=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times\text{Side}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Side}=\frac{12}{\sqrt{3}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{12}{3}\times\sqrt{3}=4\sqrt{3}\text{cm}$
Now,
Area of equilateral triangle $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times(\text{Side})^2$
$=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times(4\sqrt{3})^2$
$=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times48$
$=12\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2$

The lengths of the three sides of a triangular field are $40m, 24m$ and $32m$ respectively. The area of the triangle is:
- A
$480\ m^2$
- ✓
$384\ m^2$
- C
$320\ m^2$
- D
$360\ m^2$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $384\ m^2$
Let:
$a = 40m, b = 24m$ and $c = 32m$
$\text{s}=\frac{40+24+32}{2}=48\text{cm}$
By Heron's formula, we have
Area of triangle $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt{48(48-40)(48-24)(48-32)}$
$=\sqrt{48\times8\times24\times16}$
$=\sqrt{24\times2\times8\times24\times8\times2}$

Write the correct answer in the following:
The sides of a triangle are $35\ cm, 54\ cm$ and $61\ cm$, respectively. The length of its longest altitude:
- A
$16\sqrt{5}\text{cm}$
- B
$10\sqrt{5}\text{cm}$
- ✓
$24\sqrt{5}\text{cm}$
- D
$28\text{cm}$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $24\sqrt{5}\text{cm}$
Sides of the triangle are $35\ cm, 54\ cm$ and $61\ cm$
$\text{s}=\frac{35+54+61}{2}=75\text{cm}$
Area of $\triangle=\sqrt{75(75-35)(75-54)(75-61)}$
$=\sqrt{75\times40\times21\times14}$
$=\sqrt{5\times5\times3\times2\times2\times2\times5\times3\times7\times7\times2}$
$=5\times3\times2\times2\times7\sqrt{5}$
$=420\sqrt{5}\text{cm}^2$
Now, longest altitude will be the perpendicular on the smallest side of the triangle from the opposite vertex.
$\therefore$ Length of longest altitude $=\frac{2(\text{Area of }\triangle)}{35}$
$=\frac{2\times420\sqrt{5}}{35}=24\sqrt{5}\text{cm}$

Write the correct answer in the following: The sides of a triangle are $56\ cm, 60\ cm$ and $52\ cm$ long. Then the area of the triangle is:
- A
$1322\ cm^2$
- B
$1311\ cm^2$
- ✓
$1344\ cm^2$
- D
$1392\ cm^2$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $1344\ cm^2$
Since, the three sides of a triangle are $a = 56\ cm, b = 60\ cm$ and $c = 52\ cm$
Then, semi-perimeter of a triangle,
$\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2}=\frac{56+60+52}{2}=\frac{168}{2}=84\text{cm}$
Area of triangle $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$ [by Heron's formula]
$=\sqrt{84(84-56)(84-60)(84-52)}$
$=\sqrt{4\times7\times3\times4\times7\times4\times2\times3\times4\times4\times2}$
$=\sqrt{(4)^6\times(7)^2\times(3)^2}$
$=(4)^3\times7\times3=1344\text{cm}^2$
Hence, the area of triangle is $1344\ cm^2$

The cost of turfing a triangular field at the rate of $Rs. 45$ per $100m^2$ is Rs. 900. If the double the base of the triangle is $5$ times its height, then its height is:
- A
$42\ cm$
- ✓
$40\ cm$
- C
$44\ cm$
- D
$32\ cm$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $40\ cm$
Cost of turfing a triangular field at the rate of $Rs. 45$ per $100 = Rs. 900$
$\frac{\text{Area}\times45}{100}=900$
$⇒$ Area $= 2000\ sq.cm$
According to question,
$2\ ×$ Base $= 5\ ×$ Height
$\Rightarrow\text{Base}=\frac{\text{Height}\times5}{2}$
Areo of triangle $= 2000$ sq.cm
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\times\text{Base}\times\text{Height}=2000$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{\text{Height}\times5}{2}\times\text{Height}=2000$
$⇒ ($Height$)^2 = 1600$
