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:
  • A
    $Rs. 2.00$
  • $Rs. 2.16$
  • C
    $Rs. 2.48$
  • D
    $Rs. 3.00$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$Rs. 2.16$
Since, 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 $24\ cm^2 = 0.09 × 24 = Rs. 2.16$
Hence, the cost of a triangular board is $Rs. 2.16$

If the area of an isosceles right triangle is $8\ cm^2$, what is the perimeter of the triangle$?$
  • A
    $8+\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$
  • $8+4{\sqrt{2}}\text{cm}^2$
  • C
    $4+8{\sqrt{2}}{}\text{cm}^2$
  • D
    $12\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$8+4{\sqrt{2}}\text{cm}^2$

Let each of the two equal sides of an isosceles right triangle be $a\ cm.$
Then, third side $=\text{a}\sqrt{2}\text{cm}$
Area of $\triangle=\frac12\times\text{a}\times\text{a}$
$\Rightarrow8=\frac{\text{a}^2}{2}$
$⇒ a^2 = 16$
$⇒ a = 4\ cm$
⇒ Perimeter $\Rightarrow\text{a}+\text{a}+\text{a}\sqrt{2}=4+4+4\sqrt{2}\text{cm}$
Hence, correct option is $(b).$

$ABC$ is an isosceles right triangle. We have,

$\text{AB}=\text{BC}=\text{a cm}$
Area of $\triangle=\frac{1}{2}\text{base}\times\text{Height}$
$\Rightarrow\ 8=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{a}\times\text{a}$ $\big[\because\ \text{AB}=\text{BC}=\text{a cm}\big]$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{a}^2=16$ $\therefore\ \text{a}=+\sqrt{16}=4\text{cm}$
Using Pythagoras theorem,
Hypotenuse $\text{AC}=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}$
$=\sqrt{16+16}=\sqrt{32}\text{cm}$

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

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

    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{x}^2$
  • $\frac{\text{x}^2}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $\text{x}^2$
  • D
    $\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{\text{x}^2}{\sqrt{3}}$

Let the side of equilateral $\triangle\text{ABC}$ be $a\ cm$
The median of equilateral triangle is its altitude drawn from $A$ to $BC. ($i.e. the height of $\triangle$ over Base $BC)$
$\Rightarrow\text{AD}=\text{a}\sin60^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\text{a}\sqrt{3}}{2} [AD = x ($given$)]$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=\frac{2\text{x}}{\sqrt{3}}$
Area of equilateral $\triangle$ of side $\text{a}=\frac{\sqrt{3}\text{a}^2}{4}$
$=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}}{\sqrt3}\Big)^2$

  • $16\ cm^2$
  • B
    $24\ cm^2$
  • C
    $30\ cm^2$
  • D
    $36\ cm^2$
     
Answer
Correct option: A.
$16\ cm^2$


$\frac{\text{AD}}{\text{DC}}=\frac32$
Let $AD = 3x$ and $DC = 2x$
Area of $\triangle\text{ABC}=\frac12\times\text{AC}\times\text{BC} (BE = h)$
$\Rightarrow40=\frac12\times5\text{x}\times\text{h}$
$⇒ 80 = 5xh$
$⇒ xh = 16\ cm^2 ....(1)$
Now, Area of $\triangle\text{ABD}=\frac12\times3\text{x}\times\text{h}=\frac{3\times\text{h}}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\times16=24\text{cm}^2$
Area of $\triangle\text{BDC}=$ Area of $\triangle\text{ABC}-$ Area of $\triangle\text{ABD}=40-24=16\text{cm}^2$

  • $30\ cm$
  • C
    $40\ cm$
  • D
    $50\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$30\ cm$


The smallest altitude is $\perp$ drawn to the largest side of a $\triangle$ From opposite point. i. e. $BD$
Area of $\triangle=\frac12\times\text{AC}\times\text{BD}=\frac12\times112\times\text{BD}=56\times\text{BD}$
$\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2}=\frac{50+78+115}{2}=120\text{cm}$
$s - AB = 70\ cm, s - BC = 42\ cm, s - AC = 8\ cm$
Area $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt{120\times70\times42\times8}=1680\text{cm}^2$
Now, $56 × BD = 1680\ cm^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{BD}=\frac{1680}{56}=30\text{cm}$
Hence, correct option is $(b).$

Each of the equal sides of an isoscale triangle is $13\ cm$ and its base is $24\ cm$. The area of the triangle is:
  • A
    $156\ cm^2$
  • B
    $78\ cm^2$
  • $60\ cm^2$
  • D
    $120\ cm^2$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$60\ cm^2$

Area of isoscale triangle $=\frac{\text{b}}{4}\sqrt{4\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2}$
Here,
$a = 13\ cm$ and $b = 24\ cm$
Thus, we have:
$=\frac{24}{4}\times\sqrt{4(13)^2-24^2}$
$=6\times\sqrt{676-576}$
$=6\times\sqrt{100}$
$=6\times10$
$=60\text{cm}^2$

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:
  • $64\sqrt3\text{cm}^2$
  • B
    $48\sqrt3\text{cm}^2$
  • C
    $24\sqrt2\text{cm}^2$
  • D
    $24\sqrt3\text{cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$64\sqrt3\text{cm}^2$

If side of a square is $a\ cm$ then, its diagonal $=\sqrt2\text{ a cm}$
But diagonal $=12\sqrt2\text{cm}$
$\Rightarrow2-\sqrt{\text{a}}=12\sqrt2$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=12\text{cm}$
$⇒$ 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 $\triangle=\frac{\sqrt3\text{x}^2}{4}=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times16\times16=64\sqrt3\text{cm}^2$

The sides of a triangular field are $325m, 300m$ and $125m.$ Its area is:
  • $18750\ m^2$
  • B
    $37500\ m^2$
  • C
    $97500\ m^2$
  • D
    $48750\ m^2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$18750\ m^2$
$a = 325m, b = 30m, c = 125m$
$\text{s}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}}{2}=\frac{325+300+125}{2}=375\text{m}$
$s - a = 50m, s - b = 75m, s - c = 250m$
Area $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt{375\times50\times75\times250}$
$=\sqrt{15\times25\times25\times2\times3\times25\times25\times10}$ 
$=\sqrt{\underline{25\times25}\times\underline{25\times25}\times\underline{30\times30}}$
$=25\times25\times30$
$= 18750\text{m}^2$
Hence, correct option is $(a).$

  • B
    $41\ cm$
  • C

Answer
Correct option: A.
$36\ cm$


Let $\triangle\text{PQR}$ be an isosceles triangle and $PX \perp QR$
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,
$\text{QX}=\frac{1}{2}\times24=12\text{cm}$ and $PX =12\ cm$
$\text{PQ}=\sqrt{\text{QX}^2+\text{PX}^2}$
$\text{a}=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}=\sqrt{64+36}=\sqrt{100}=10\text{cm}$
$\therefore$ Perimeter $= (10 + 10 + 16)\ cm = 36\ cm$

The area of a right angled triangle is $20m^2$ and one of the sides containing the right triangle is $4\ cm.$ Then the altitude on the hypotenuse is:
  • $\frac{20}{\sqrt{29}}\text{cm}$
  • B
    $10\text{cm}$
  • C
    $\frac{10}{\sqrt{41}}\text{cm}$
  • D
    $8\text{cm}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{20}{\sqrt{29}}\text{cm}$
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 perimeter of an isosceles triangle is $32\ cm.$ the ratio of the equal side to its base is $3 : 2$. Then area of the triangle is:
  • A
    $32\text{cm}^2$
  • B
    $16\text{cm}^2$
  • $32\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$
  • D
    $16\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$32\sqrt{2}\text{cm}^2$

Let each of the equal sides of given triangle be $x\ cm.$ Then the third side is $(32 - 2x)cm,$
According to quesiton, $\frac{\text{x}}{32-2\text{x}}=\frac{3}{2}$
According to quesiton, $x 32 - 2x = 32$
$⇒ 2x = 96 - 6x$
$⇒ 8x = 96$
$⇒ x = 12\ cm$
Therefore, the sides are $12\ cm, 12\ cm$ and $8\ cm$
Area $=\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
$=\sqrt{16(16-12)(16-12)(16-3)}$
$=\sqrt{16\times4\times4\times8}$

Answer
Correct option: B.
$300\%$
Area of triangle with sides $a, b, c (A) =\sqrt{\text{s}(\text{s}-\text{a})(\text{s}-\text{b})(\text{s}-\text{c})}$
New sides are $2a, 2b,$ and $2c$
Then $\text{s}'=\frac{2\text{a}+2\text{b}+2\text{c}}{2}=\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}$
