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:
AnswerLet 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, $\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2}$
$\text{s}=\frac{74+40+102}{2}$

Each of the equal sides of an isosceles triangle is $2\ cm$ greater than its height. If the base of the triangle is $12\ cm,$ then its area is:
AnswerLet 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,
$(x + 2)^2 = x^2 + 6^2$
$\Rightarrow 4 + 4x = 36$
$\Rightarrow x = 8\ cm$

If the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 180cm. Then its area will be:
Answer
- $900\sqrt3\text{cm}^2$
Solution:
Given, Perimeter = 180cm
3a = 180 (Equilateral triangle)
a = 60cm
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 = 60cm
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})}$
$\text{A}=900\sqrt{3\text{cm}^2}$ View full question & answer→Question 691 Mark

The lengths of the sides of $\triangle\text{ABC}$ are consecutive integers. It $\triangle\text{ABC}$ has perimeter as an equilateral triangle triangle with a side of length 9cm, what is the length of the shortest side of $\triangle\text{ABC}?$
Answer
- 8
Solution:
Let the sides of $\triangle\text{ABC}$ be n, n + 1, n + 2
⇒ Perimeter = n + n + 1 + n + 2
⇒ (9 + 9 + 9) = 3n + 3
⇒ 27 = 3n + 3
⇒ 3n = 24
⇒ n = 8cm
Thus, the shortest side is 8cm. View full question & answer→Question 711 Mark

Write the correct answer in the following:
The sides of a triangle are 35cm, 54cm and 61cm, respectively. The length of its longest altitude:
Answer- $24\sqrt{5}\text{cm}$
Solution:
Sides of the triangle are 35cm, 54cm and 61cm
$\text{s}=\frac{35+54+61}{2}=75\text{cm}$
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 edges of a triangular board are $6\ cm, 8\ cm$ and $10\ cm.$ The cost of painting it at the rate of $9$ paise per$\ cm^2$ is:
AnswerSince, the edges of a triangular are $a = 6\ cm, b = 8\ cm$ and $c = 10\ cm$
Now, semi$-$perimeter of a triangular board.
$\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2}$
$=\frac{6+8+10}{2}=\frac{24}{2}=12 \ \text{cm}$
Now, area of a triangular board $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt{12(12-6)(12-8)(12-10)}$
$=\sqrt{12\times6\times4\times2}$
$=\sqrt{(12)^2\times(2)^2}$
$=12\times2=24 \ \text{cm}^2$
Since, the cost of painting for area $1\ cm^2 = Rs. 0.09$
$\therefore$ Cost of paint for area $24\ cm^2 = 0.09 \times 24 = Rs. 2.16$
Hence, the cost of a triangular board is $Rs. 2.16$
