RBSE Maths Chapter 12: Exercise 12.2 Textbook Important Questions and Solutions

Question 1: The length of a side of

[i] an equilateral triangle and

[ii] square is ‘x’ cm. Find their perimeter and plot a graph between the perimeter and its length.

Solution:

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3 * [length of one side] = 3x

The table below gives the value of the perimeter for the corresponding side.

Scale:

x-axis = 1unit = 10cm

y-axis = 1unit = 10cm

The table below gives the perimeter for the corresponding length of the side.

Scale:

x-axis = 1unit = 10cm

y-axis = 1unit = 10cm

Question 2: The length of a rectangle is double its breadth. Plot a graph of the area and breadth of the rectangle.

Solution:

According to the question, length = 2 * length.

Area of a rectangle = length * breadth = length * 2 * length.

If the length of a rectangle is ‘x’ units, then the area of a rectangle is 2x².

The table below gives the value of the area for the corresponding breadth.

Scale:

x-axis = 1unit = 20cm

y-axis = 1unit = 20cm

Question 3: According to the table, draw a graph between time and simple interest.

Solution:

Scale:

x-axis = 1unit = 100cm

y-axis = 1unit = 100cm

Question 4: Plot a graph of the relation between time and distance.

Solution:

Scale:

x-axis = 1unit = 10cm

y-axis = 1unit = 10cm

Question 5: Plot the graph for the values given in the table and explain why this graph passes through the origin?

Solution:

Scale:

x-axis = 1unit = 1000cm

y-axis = 1unit = 1000cm
