(i) 10cm, 24cm and 26cm

Solution:-

Sides of Δ are

a=10cm

b=24cm

c=26cm

(ii) 18mm, 24 mm and 30mm

Solution:-

Sides of Δ are

a=18mm

b=24mm

C=30mm

(iii) 21 m, 28 m and 35 m

Solution:-

Sides of Δ are

a=21m

b=28m

c=35m

Question 2. 

Two sides of a triangle are 6 cm and 8 cm. If height of the triangle corresponding to 6 cm side is 4 cm; find.

(i) Area of the triangle

(ii) Height of the triangle corresponding to 8 cm side.

Solution:-

BC=6cm

Height AD=4cm

(i) 12cm² (ii)3cm

Question 3. 

The sides of a triangle are 16cm, 12cm and 20cm. Find:

(i) Area of the triangle;

(ii) Height of the triangle, corresponding to the largest side;

(iii) Height of the triangle, corresponding to the smallest side.

Solution:-

Sides of Δ are

a=20cm

b=12cm

c=16cm

Question 4. 

Two sides of a triangle are 6.4 m and 4.8 m. If height of the triangle corresponding to 4.8m side is 6m; find:

(i) Area of the triangle;

(ii) height of the triangle corresponding to 6.4 m side.

Solution:-

ABC is the Δ in which BC=4.8m

AC=6.4m and AD=6m

Question 5.

The base and the height of a triangle are in the ratio 4:5. If the area of the triangle is 40 m2; find its base  and height.

Solution:-

Question 6. 

The base and the height of a triangle are in the ratio 5:3. If the area of the triangle is 67m2.find its base and height.

Solution:-

Consider base =5×m

Height =3×m

Question 7.

Question 8. 

The area of an equilateral triangle is numerically equal to its perimeter. Find its perimeter correct to 2 decimal places.

Solution:-

 Consider each side of the equilateral triangle = x

Question 9.  

A field is in the shape of a quadrilateral ABCD in which side AB = 18m, side AD = 24m, side BC = 40m, DC = 50m and angle A = 90°. Find the area of the field.

Solution:-

∠A=90°

By Pythagoras Theorem,

In ∆ABD,

Question 10. 

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 4 : 5 : 3 and its perimeter is 96  cm . Find its area.

Solution:-

Consider the sides of the triangle ABC be 4 x, 5 x and 3x

AB=4 x, AC=5 x and BC=3 x

Perimeter = 4 x+5x+3x=96

12 x=96

 Question 11. 

One of the equal sides of an isosceles triangle is 13cm and its perimeter is 50cm. Find the area of the triangle.

Solution:-

 In Isosceles ΔABC

AB=AC=13cm But perimeter =50cm

BC=50-(13+13)cm

=50-26=24cm

AD⊥BC

Question 12. 

The altitude and the base of a triangular field are in the ratio 6:5. If its cost is Rs.49, 57,200 at the rate of Rs.36, 720 per hectare and 1 hectare =10,000 sq. m, find (in meter) dimensions of the field,

Solution:-

 Total cost =349,57,200

Rate = 736,720 per hectare

Total area of the triangular field
