The lengths of three sides of a triangle are $20\ cm, 16\ cm$ and $12\ cm$. The area of the triangle is:
  • $96\ cm^2$
  • B
    $120\ cm^2$
  • C
    $144\ cm^2$
  • D
    $160\ cm^2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$96\ cm^2$

Let:
$a = 20\ cm, b = 16\ cm$ and $c = 12\ cm$
$\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2}=\frac{26+16+12}{2}=24\text{cm}$
By Heron's formula, we have:
Area of triangle $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt{24(24-20)(24-16)(24-12)}$
$=\sqrt{24\times4\times8\times12}$
$=\sqrt{6\times4\times4\times4\times4\times6}$
$=6\times4\times4$
$=96\text{cm} ^2$

MCQ 31 Mark
The sides of a triangle are in the ratio $12 : 17 : 25$ and its perimeter is $540\ cm.$The area is:
  • A
    $1000\ sq.cm$
  • B
    $5000\ sq.cm$
  • $9000\ sq.cm$
  • D
    $8000\ sq.cm$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$9000\ sq.cm$

The ratio of the sides is $12 : 17 : 25$
Perimeter $= 540\ cm$
Let the sides of the triangle be $12x, 17x$ and $25x.$
Hence,
$12x + 17x + 25x = 540cm$
$54x = 540cm$
$x = 10$
Therefore,
$a = 12x = 12 × 10 = 120$
$b = 17x = 17 × 10 = 170$
$c = 25x = 25 × 10 = 250$
$\text{Semi}-\text{perimeter, s}= \frac{540}{2}= 270\text{cm}$
Using Heron’s formula:
$\text{A}=\sqrt{8(8-\text{a})(8-\text{b})(8-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt270{(270-120)(270-170)(270-250)}$
$=\sqrt(270\times150\times100\times20)$
$= 9000 \text{ sq.}\text{cm}$

The sides of a triangle are $122m, 22m$ and $120m$ respectively. The area of the triangle is:
  • $1320\ sq.m$
  • B
    $1300\ sq.m$
  • C
    $1400\ sq.m$
  • D
    $1420\ sq.m$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$1320\ sq.m$
Explanation: Given,
$a = 122m$
$b = 22m$
$c = 120m$
$\text{Semi-perimeter, s}=\frac{(122+22+120)}{2}=132\text{m}$
Using heron’s formula:
$\text{A}=\sqrt{8(8-a)(8-b)(8-c)}$
$=\sqrt{132(132-122)(132-22)(132-120)}$
$=\sqrt{(132\times10\times110\times12)}$
$= 1320\ sq.m$

MCQ 61 Mark
A square and an equilateral triangle have equal perimeters. If the diagonal of the square is $12\sqrt{2}\text{cm},$ then area of the triangle is:
  • A
    $24\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$
  • B
    $24\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2$
  • C
    $48\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2$
  • $64\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$64\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2$



If side of a square is $a\ cm$
Then, its diagonal $=\sqrt{2}\text{a}\text{cm}$
But diagonal $=12\sqrt{2}\text{cm}$
$\Rightarrow\sqrt{2}\text{a}=12\sqrt{2}$
$⇒ a = 12\ cm$
$⇒ $ Perimeter of a square $= 4a = 4 × 12 = 48\ cm$
Now, perimeter of an equilateral triangle with side $x = 3x\ cm$
But perimeter of equilateral triangle $=$ Perimeter of square
$⇒ 3x = 48$
$⇒ x = 16\ cm$
Now, Area of equilateral $\triangle=\frac{\sqrt{3}\text{x}^2}{4}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times16\times16=64\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2$
Hence, correct option is $(d).$

  • A
    $\frac{5}{2}\sqrt{11}\text{cm}^2$
  • $\frac{5}{4}\sqrt{11}\text{cm}^2$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{8}\sqrt{11}\text{cm}^2$
  • D
    $5\sqrt{11}\text{cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{5}{4}\sqrt{11}\text{cm}^2$

Let each of the equal sides be $x \ cm$. Then,
$\text{x}+\text{x}+5=11$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}=6$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=3\text{cm}$
$\text{s}=\frac{3+3+5}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\text{cm}$
$\text{Area}=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{sc})}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{11}{2}\big(\frac{11}{2}-3\big)\big(\frac{11}{2}-3\big)\big(\frac{11}{2}-5\big)}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{11}{2}\times\frac{5}{2}\times\frac{5}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}}$

  • A
    $37500\ m^2$
  • B
    $48750\ m^2$
  • $18750\ m^2$
  • D
    $97500\ m^2$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$18750\ m^2$

$a = 325\ m, b = 300\ m, c = 125\ m$
$\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2}=\frac{325+300+125}{4}=375\text{m}$
$s - a = 50\ m, s - b = 75\ m, s - c = 250\ m$
Area $=\sqrt{\text{s}}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})$

The sides of a triangle are $11\ m, 60\ m$ and $61\ m.$ The altitude to the smallest side is:
  • A
    $11\ cm$
  • B
    $66\ cm$
  • C
    $50\ cm$
  • $60\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$60\ cm$

Area of $\triangle=\frac12\text{Base}\times\text{Height}$
The smallest side is $11\ m$
$\Rightarrow\text{Area}=\frac12\times11\times\text{Height}\dots(1)$
Area by Heron's Formula $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$\text{s}=\frac{11+60+61}{2}=66\text{m}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Area}=\sqrt{66\times55\times6\times5}=330\text{m}^2$
From eq. $(1)$
$330=\frac12\times11\times\text{Height}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Height}=\frac{2\times330}{11}=60\text{m}$
Hence, correct option is $(d).$

The area of a right-angled triangle is $20\ m^2$ and one of the sides containing the right triangle is $4\ cm$. Then the altitude on the hypotenuse is:
  • A
    $10\text{cm}$
  • B
    $\frac{10}{\sqrt{41}}\text{cm}$
  • $\frac{20}{\sqrt{29}}\text{cm}$
  • D
    $8\text{cm}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{20}{\sqrt{29}}\text{cm}$

Area of right angle triangle $= 20\ sq. m$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\times\text{Base}\times\text{Height} = 20 $
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\times\text{Base}\times4=20$
$\Rightarrow\text{Base}=10\text{cm}$
Then, Hypotenuse $=\sqrt{10^2+4^2}=2\sqrt{29}\text{m}$
If the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle, then the length of required altitude $=\frac{10\times4}{2\sqrt{29}}=\frac{20}{\sqrt{29}}\text{cm}$

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio of $3: 5: 7$ and its perimeter is $300\ cm.$ Its area will be:
  • A
    $1000\sqrt{3}\text{sq}.\text{cm}$
  • $1500\sqrt{3}\text{sq}.\text{cm}$
  • C
    $1700\sqrt{3}\text{sq}.\text{cm}$
  • D
    $1900\sqrt{3}\text{sq}.\text{cm}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$1500\sqrt{3}\text{sq}.\text{cm}$

The ratio of the sides is $3: 5: 7$
Perimeter $= 300\ cm$
Let the sides of the triangle be $3x, 5x$ and $7x.$
Hence,
$3x + 5x + 7x = 300\ cm$
$15x = 300\ cm$
$x = 20$
Therefore,
$a = 3x = 3 × 20 = 60$
$b = 5x = 5 × 20 = 100$
$c = 7x = 7 × 20 = 140$
$\text{semiperimeter,s}=\frac{300}{2}=150\text{cm}$
Using Heron’s formula:
$\text{A}=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-{a})(\text{s}-{b})(\text{s}-{c})}$
$=\sqrt{150(150-60)(150-100)(150-40)}$
$=\sqrt{(150\times90\times50\times10)}$
$=1500\sqrt{3\text{sq.cm}}$

  • D
    $8\sqrt{91}\text{ cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$6\sqrt{91}\text{ cm}^2$
$\text{s}=\frac{15+8+19}{2}=21\text{ cm}$
Area of triangle $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s-a})(\text{s-b})(\text{s-c})}$
$=\sqrt{21(21-15)(21-8)(21-19)}$
$=\sqrt{21\times6\times13\times2}$

    $4869\ sq. m$
  • $2448\ sq. cm$
  • C
    $1224\ sq. m$
  • D
    $612\ sq. m$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$2448\ sq. cm$

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, $\text{s}= \frac{(\text{a} + \text{b} + \text{c})}{2}$
$\text{s}=\frac{(74+40+102)}{2}$
$=\frac{216}{2}$
$=108\text{cm}$
By Heron's formula, we have area of triangle $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
Area of triangle $=\sqrt{108(108-74)(108-40)(108-102)}$
$=1224\text{cm}^2$
therefore, area of parallelogram $= 1224 × 2$

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 $=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{Base}\times\text{Height}$

The equal sides of the isosceles triangle are $12\ cm,$ and the perimeter is $30\ cm.$ The area of this triangle is:
  •  $ 9\sqrt15\ sq.cm$
  • B
     $6\sqrt15\ sq.cm$
  • C
     $3\sqrt15\ sq.cm$
  • D
    $\sqrt15\ sq.cm$
Answer
Correct option: A.
 $ 9\sqrt15\ sq.cm$
Explanation: Given,
Perimeter $= 30\ cm$
$\text{Semiperimeter,s}=\frac{30}{2}=15\text{cm}$
$a = b = 12\ cm$
$c = ?$
$a + b + c = 30$

If every side of a triangle is doubled, then increase in the area of the triangle is:
  • A
    $100\sqrt{2}\%$
  • B
    $200\%$
  • $300\%$
  • D
    $400\%$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$300\%$
$\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2},\text{A}=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
Now, if $a' = 2a, b' = 2b$ and $c' = 2c$
Then, $\text{s}'=\frac{\text{a}'+\text{b}'+c'}{2}=\frac{2\text{a}+2\text{b}+2\text{c}}{2}=2\text{s}$
$\text{A}'=\sqrt{\text{s}'(\text{s},-\text{a}')(\text{s}'-\text{b}')(\text{s}'-\text{c}')}$
$=\sqrt{2\text{s}(2\text{s}-2\text{a})(2\text{s}-2\text{b})(2\text{s}-2\text{c})}$
$=4\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}' = 4\text{A}$
$⇒$ Increase in Area $=\frac{4\text{A}-\text{A}}{\text{A}}\times100\%=300\%$
