Triangle doesn’t exist with the ratio 1:2:3 whose perimeter is 480 m.

26. Find the cost of leveling the ground in the form of equilateral triangle whose side is 12 m at Rs 5 per square meter.

Ans. Here, sides are 12 m, 12 m, 12 m,

= 18 cm

And,

Area of equilateral triangle =

Cost of leveling ground =

= Rs 311.4 m

27. A kite in the shape of a square with diagonal 32 cm and an isosceles triangle of base 8 cm and side 6 cm each is to be made of three different shades. How much paper of each shade has been used in it? ( use = 2.24)

Ans. Let ABCD be the square and CEF be an isosceles triangle.

Let the diagonals bisect each other at O.

Then,
AO =cm
= 16 cm
Area of shaded portion I =
= 256 sq cm
And,
Area of portion III =

Thus, the papers of three shades required are 256 sq cm, 256 sq cm and 17.92 sq cm.

28. The sides of a quadrangular field, taken in order are 29 m, 36 m, 7m and 24 m respectively. The angle contained by the last two sides is a right angle. Find its area.

Ans. In ADC, which are right angles?

Area of quad ABCD =Area of ADC+ Area of ABC

Area of ADC=

= 84 sq m

For ABC,

From (I), (II) and (III) we get area of quadrilateral ABCD = (84+360) sq m = 444 sq m

29. Find the area of a triangle whose perimeter is 180 cm and two of its sides are 80 cm and 18 cm. hence calculate the altitude of the triangle taking the longest side as base.

Ans. Let a= 80 cm and b=18 cm, perimeter = 180 cm

c = 82cm
Now,

= 720 sq cm
The longest side of triangle is 82 cm
Let h cm be length of altitude corresponding to longest side.

1. A field in the shape of a trapezium whose parallel side are 25m and 10m. The non- parallel side are 14 m and 13 m. Find the area of the field.

Ans. AB=25m, CD =10m

AD=13m and BC=14

Draw ECAD and CPEB

Now CE =AD=13m and

EB=AB-AE= (25-10) m= 15m

In BCE, a=15m, b=14m and C=13 m

=21 m

=84 sq m ….(i)

Also area of

[using (i)]

Now, area of parallelogram

….(ii)

Thus area of trapezium ABCD = area of parallelogram + area of

=112 sq m +84 sq m [using (i) and (ii)]

=196 sq m

2. The perimeter of a right triangle is 24 cm. If its hypotenuse is 10 cm, find the other two sides. Find its area by using the formula area of a right triangle. Verify your result by using Heron’s formula.

Ans. Let x and y be the two lines of the right.
