RBSE Maths Chapter 11: Exercise 11.1 Textbook Important Questions and Solutions

Question 1: If the base of a triangle is 20 cm and its height is 6 cm, then find the area of the triangle.

Solution:

Given,

Base = 20 cm

Height = 6 cm

Area of triangle = ½ × base × height

= ½ × 20 × 6

= 60 cm²

Question 2: A triangle whose sides are 15 cm, 25 cm and 30 cm, respectively, then find the area of the triangle.

Solution:

Let a, b and c be the sides of the triangle.

a = 15 cm, b = 25 cm and c = 30 cm

Semi-perimeter of triangle:

s = (a + b + c)/2

= (15 + 25 + 30)/2

= 70/2

= 35

Area of triangle = √[s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)]

= √[35 (35 – 15)(35 – 25)(35 – 30)]

= √(35 × 20 × 10 × 5)

=√( 7 × 5 × 5 × 4 × 2 × 5 × 5)

= 5 × 5 × 2 √(7 × 2)

= 50√14 cm²

Question 3: In an isosceles triangle each equal side is 8 cm and the third side is 4 cm, then find its area.

Solution:

Let a = 8 cm and b = 4 cm

Area of an isosceles triangle = (b/4) × √(4a² – b²)

= (4/4) × √[4(8)² – 4²]

= √[4(64) – 16]

= √(256 – 16)

= √240

= 4√15 cm²

Question 4: An equilateral triangle whose side is 20 cm, then find its area.

Solution:

Given,

Side of the triangle = a = 20 cm

Area of triangle = (√3)/4 a²

= (√3)/4 × (20)²

= (√3)/4 × 400

= 100√3 cm²

Question 5: A triangle whose sides are 8 cm and 15 cm and its perimeter is 40 cm then find the area of the triangle.

Solution:

Let a, b and c be the sides of the triangle.

a = 8 cm and b = 15 cm

Given,

Perimeter = 40 cm

a + b + c = 40

8 + 15 + c = 40

c = 40 – 23 = 17 cm

Semi-perimeter = s = 40/2 = 20 cm

Area of the triangle = √[s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)]

= √[20 (20 – 8)(20 – 15)(20 – 17)]

= √(20 × 12 × 5 × 3)

=√( 4 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 5 × 3)

= 4 × 5 × 3

= 60 cm²

Question 6: A triangular table whose sides are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5 and perimeter is 36 m then find the area of the table.

Solution:

Given,

Ratio of the sides: 3 : 4 : 5

Let 3x, 4x and 5x be the sides of the triangle.

Perimeter = 36 m (given)

i.e. 3x + 4x + 5x = 36

12x = 36

x = 36/12 = 3

Therefore, sides are:

a = 3x = 3 x 3 = 9 m

b = 4x = 4 x 3 = 12 m

c = 5x = 5 x 3 = 15 m

s = (a + b + c)/2 = (9 + 12 + 15)/2

= 36/2 = 18 m

Area of triangular table = √[s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)]

= √[18 (18 – 9)(18 – 12)(18 – 15)]

= √(18 × 9 × 6 × 3)

=√( 9 × 2 × 9 × 3 × 2 × 3)

= 9 × 2 × 3

= 54 m²

Question 7: A field whose shape is triangular. Its sides are 20 m, 51 m and 37 m, then how many small beds of measure 2 × 3 m² can be plotted in the field?

Solution:

Let the sides of the triangular plot be:

a = 20 m, b = 51 m and c = 37 m

Semi-perimeter = s = (a + b + c)/2

= (20 + 51 + 37)/2

= 108/2

= 54 m

Area of the triangular field = √[s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)]

= √[54 (54 – 20)(54 – 51)(54 – 37)]

= √(54 × 34 × 3 × 17)

=√( 3 × 3 × 2 × 3 × 17 × 3 × 17)

= 3 × 3 × 2 × 17

= 306 m²

Area of small bed = 2 × 3 = 6 m²

Require number of small beds = Area of the triangular field/ Area of small bed

= 306/6

= 51

Question 8: Find the area of the quadrilateral whose diagonal is 12 cm and lengths of perpendiculars drawn from opposite vertices to the diagonal are 7 cm and 8 cm, respectively.

Solution:

Given,

Length of diagonal = 12 cm

Measures of offsets are 7 cm and 8 cm.

Area of quadrilateral = 1/2 × diagonal × (sum of the offsets)

= 1/2 × 12 × (7 + 8)

= 6 × 15

= 90 cm²

Question 9: Area of a parallelogram shaped playground is 2000 m². If its base is 50 m, then find the height of the playground.

Solution:

Area of the parallelogram shaped playground = base × height

2000 = 50 × height

Height = 2000/50 = 40 m

Therefore, the height of the playground is 40 m.

Question 10: Find the area of a quadrilateral whose sides are AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, CD = 6 cm and DA = 5 cm and diagonal is AC = 5 cm.

Solution:

According to the given, quadrilateral ABCD is:

Area of quadrilateral ABCD = area of ∆ABC + area of ∆ACD

Since, sides of ∆ABC form a Pythagorian triplet.

Area of ∆ABC = 1/2 x base x altitude

= 1/2 × AB × BC

= 1/2 x 3 x 4

= 6 cm²

∆ACD is an isosceles triangle with equal side (a) = 5 cm and third side (b) = 6 cm.

Area of an isosceles ∆ACD

= b/4 x √(4a² – b²)

= 6/4 x √[4(5)² – 6²]

= 6/4 x √[4(25) – 36]

= 6/4 x √(100 – 36)

= 6/4 x √64

= 6/4 x 8

= 12 cm²

Area of quadrilateral = 6 + 12 = 18 cm²

Question 11: Find the area of the quadrilateral whose sides are 9 cm, 40 cm, 28 cm and 15 cm and angle between the first two sides is a right angle.

Solution:

Let ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AB = 9 cm, BC = 40 cm, CD = 28 cm and DA = 15 cm.

Angle between AB and BC is the right angle.

In right triangle ABC,

AC = √(92 + 402) = √(81 + 1600) = √1681 = 41 cm

Area of triangle ABC = 1/2 × 9 × 40 = 180 cm²

In triangle ACD,

a = 15 cm, b = 28 cm, c = 41 cm

Semi-perimeter = s = (a + b + c)/2 = (15 + 28 + 41)/2 = 84/2 = 42 cm

Area of triangle ACD = √[s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)]

= √[42 (42 – 15)(42 – 28)(42 – 41)]

= √(42 × 27 × 14 × 1)

=√(3 × 2 × 7 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 2)

= 3 × 3 × 2 × 7

= 126 cm²

Area of quadrilateral = Area of triangle ABC + Area of triangle ACD

= 180 + 126

= 306 cm²

Question 12: Find the area of a parallelogram whose two adjacent sides are 50 cm and 40 cm, respectively and diagonal is 30 cm.

Solution:

Given,

Lengths of two adjacent sides are 50 cm and 40 cm.

Diagonal = 30 cm

In triangle ABD,

a = 40 cm, b = 50 cm, c = 30 cm

Semi-perimeter = s = (a + b + c)/2 = (40 + 50 + 30)/2 = 120/2 = 60 cm

Area of triangle ABD = √[s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)]

= √[60 (60 – 40)(60 – 50)(60 – 30)]

= √(60 × 20 × 10 × 30)

=√(3 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 2 × 5 × 3 × 2)

= 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5

= 600 cm²

Area of parallelogram = 2 × area of triangle ABD

= 2 × 600

= 1200 m²

Question 13: Find the area of a parallelogram whose diagonal is 5.2 cm and the length of each perpendicular from the opposite vertices to the diagonal is 3.5 cm.

Solution:

Given,

Length of offsets of the parallelogram is 3.5 cm.

Diagonal = 5.2 cm

Area of parallelogram = ½ × diagonal × (sum of offsets)

= ½ × 5.2 × (3.5 + 3.5)

= 2.6 × 7

= 18.2 cm²

Question 14: A plot of land has a shape of a parallelogram. It is to be covered by mud. Find the cost of spreading mud at the rate of Rs. 100 per square metre while the adjacent sides of the plot are 39 m and 25 m and the diagonal is 56 m.

Solution:

Given,

Adjacent sides of a parallelogram shaped plot measures 39 m and 25 m.

Diagonal = 56 m

In triangle ABD,

a = 25 m, b = 39 m, c = 56 m

Semi-perimeter = s = (a + b + c)/2 = (25 + 39 + 56)/2 = 120/2 = 60 cm

Area of triangle ABD = √[s(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)]

= √[60 (60 – 25)(60 – 39)(60 – 56)]

= √(60 × 35 × 21 × 4)

=√(3 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 7 × 5 × 7 × 3 × 2 × 2)

= 3 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 7

= 420 sq. m

Area of parallelogram = 2 × area of triangle ABD

= 2 × 420

= 840 sq. m

Cost of spreading mud for 1 sq. m = Rs. 100

Total cost of spreading mud = Rs. 100 × 840

= Rs. 84000

Question 15: Sides of a cyclic quadrilateral shaped ground are 72 m, 154 m, 80 m and 150 m, respectively. Find its area. Find the total expenditure of the cost of tiling is Rs 5 per square metre.

Solution:

Let the sides of a cyclic quadrilateral be:

a = 72 m, b = 154 m, c = 80 m, d = 150 m

Semi-perimeter = s = (a + b + c + d)/2 = (72 + 154 + 80 + 150)/2

= 456/2 = 228 m

Area of the ground of cyclic quadrilateral shape = √[(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)(s – d)]

= √[(228 – 72)(228 – 154)(228 – 80)(228 – 150)]

= √(156 × 74 × 148 × 78)

=√(78 × 2 × 74 × 74 × 2 × 78)

= 78 × 74 × 2

= 11544 sq. m

Cost of paving the tiles on the ground 1 sq. m is Rs 5.

∴ Cost of paving the tiles on the ground 11,544 sq. m = 11,544 x 5 = Rs 57,720

Question 16: Diagonals of a rhombus are 25 cm and 42 cm. Find its area and perimeter.

Solution:

Given,

Length of diagonals are 25 cm and 42 cm.

i.e. d₁ = 25 cm, d₂ = 42 cm

Area of a rhombus

= 1/2 x product of its diagonals

= 1/2 x 25 x 42

= 25 x 21

= 525 cm²

Measure of a side = 1/2 × √(d₁² + d₂²)

= 1/2 × √[(25)² + (42)²]

= 1/2 × √(625 + 1764)

= 1/2 × √2389

= 1/2 × 48.87

= 24.435 cm

Perimeter of rhombus = 4 × side

= 4 × 24.435

= 97.74 cm

Question 17: Perimeter of a rhombus is 40 m and the length of its diagonal is 12 m, then find its area.

Solution:

Given,

Perimeter of rhombus = 4 × side

40 = 4 × side

Side = 40/4 = 10 m

Let one of its diagonal be BD.

i. e. BD = 12 m

∴ OB = OD = 6 m

In right ∆OCD,

OC² + OD² = CD²

OC² = CD² – OD²

OC² = (10)² – (6)²

OC² = 100 – 36

OC = √64 = 8 m

∴ Other diagonal AC = 2 x OC

= 2 x 8 = 16 m

i.e. d₁ = 12 m, d₂ = 16 m

And area of rhombus ABCD = 1/2 × d₁ × d₂

= 1/2 × 12 × 16

= 96 m²

Question 18: A trapezium shaped field whose parallel sides are 42 m and 30 m and the other sides are 18 m and 18 m. Find its area.

Solution:

Let ABCD be a trapezium in which AB = 42 m and CD = 30 m, BC = DA = 18 m.

Draw CE ∥ DA and CF ⊥ AB.

In triangle BCE,

Let a = 18 m and b =12 m

Area of ΔBCE = b/4 √(4a² – b²)

= 12/4 √[4(18)² – 12²]

= 3 √(4 × 324 – 144)

= 3 √(1296 – 144)

= 3 √1152

= 3 × 33.94

= 101.82 m²

Now, area of triangle BCE = 1/2 × BE × CF

101.82 = 1/2 × 12 × CF

CF = 101.82/6

CF = 16.9 m

Area of parallelogram AECD = AE × CF

= 30 × 16.9

= 507 m²

Area of trapezium ABCD = Area of parallelogram AECD + Area of triangle BCE

= 507 + 101.82

= 608.82 m²

Question 19: If the area of a trapezium is 350 cm² and lengths of its parallel sides are 26 cm and 44 cm, then find the distance between the parallel sides.

Solution:

Given,

Lengths of parallel sides of a trapezium are 26 cm and 44 cm.

Let h cm be the distance between two parallel sides.

Area of trapezium = 350 cm² (given)

1/2 × (Sum of parallel sides) × Distance between the parallel sides = 350

1/2 × (26 + 44) × h = 350

70h = 350 × 2

h = 700/70

h = 10 cm

Therefore, the distance between the parallel sides of the trapezium = 10 cm

Question 20: A table has a shape of a trapezium. The parallel sides of the table are 8 m and 16 m. If the area of the table is 108 m², then find the width (distance between parallel sides) of the table.

Solution:

Given,

Lengths of parallel sides of a trapezium shaped table are 8 m and 16 m.

Let h m be the width (distance between two parallel sides) of a table.

Area of table (trapezium) = 108 m² (given)

1/2 × (Sum of parallel sides) × Distance between the parallel sides = 108

1/2 × (8 + 16) × h = 108

24h = 108 × 2

h = 216/24

h = 9 m

Therefore, the width of the table (distance between the parallel sides of the trapezium) = 9 m

(i) length = 9.5 m, breadth = 7.5 m

(ii) length = 125 m, breadth = 75 m

(iii) length = 12.5 cm, breadth = 7.5 cm

Solution:

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

(i) Length = 9.5 m, Breadth = 7.5 m

Perimeter of a rectangle

= 2(9.5 + 7.5)

= 2 x 17

= 34 m

Area of rectangle = 9.5 x 7.5 = 71.25 m²

(ii) Length = 125 m, Breadth = 75 m

Perimeter of a rectangle

= 2(125 + 75)

= 400 m

Area of rectangle = 125 x 75 = 9375 m²

(iii) Length = 12.5 cm, Breadth = 7.5 cm

Perimeter of a rectangle

= 2(12.5 + 7.5)

= 2 x 20

= 40 cm

Area of rectangle = 12.5 x 7.5 = 93.75 cm²

Question 22: Find the area and perimeter of the square of a side 5.3 m.

Solution:

Given,

Side of the square = 5.3 m

Perimeter of square = 4 x side

= 4 x 5.3

= 21.2 m

Area of square = side x side

= 5.3 x 5.3

= 28.09 m²

Question 23: After running 4 rounds to a square field, a distance covered is 16 km. Find the length and area of the ground.

Solution:

Given,

Distance covered in 4 rounds = 16 km

∴ Distance covered in 1 round = 16/4 = 4 km = 4000 m

Hence, perimeter of the ground = 4000 m

4 x side = 4000 m

Side = 1000 m

Area of the square field = 1000² = 1000000 m²

Therefore, the length of the square field is 1000 m and area is 1000000 m².

Question 24: A rectangular field is 75 m long and 45 m wide. How many beds of 5 m long and 3 m wide can be made in it?

Solution:

Given,

Length of the rectangular field = 75 m

Width of the rectangular field = 45 m

Area of rectangular field

= length x width

= 75 × 45 m²

Area of one flower-bed

= 5 × 3

= 15 m²

∴ Number of beds = Area of rectangular field/ Area of one bed

= (75 × 45)/15

= 225

Question 25: The length of a room is 10 m and breadth is 5 m. How many square pieces of area 50 cm² are required on its floor? Find the expenditure of paving the square pieces on the floor at the rate of Rs. 20 per piece.

Solution:

Area of room = length x breadth

= 10 × 5

= 50 m2

Area of one square = 50 cm²

= 50/ (100 × 100) m²

Required number of squares = Area of room/Area of one square

= 50/ [50/(100 × 100)]

= 100 × 100

= 10000

Cost of paving one square = Rs. 20 (given)

Cost of paving 10000 squares = Rs. 20 × 10000

= Rs. 200000

Question 26: Area of a square ground is 2025 m². There is a 3.5 m wide path outside around it then find the area of the path.

Solution:

Given,

Area of square ground = 2025 m²

Side of the square ground = √Area = √2025 = 45 m

The length of the side of the ground including the path = 45 + (3.5 + 3.5) = 52 m

∴ Area of the ground including the path = 52 × 52 = 2704 m²

∴ Area of the path = Area of the ground including path – Area of the square ground

= 2704 – 2025

= 679 m²

Question 27: A rectangular room is 40 m long and 25 m wide. There is a road 2.5 m wide around it. Tiles of size 50 cm × 70 cm are to be paved on it. Find the number of pieces.

Solution:

Area of a rectangular room

= 40 x 25 = 1000 m²

Area of rectangular room with road

= (40 + 2.5 + 2.5) × (25 + 2.5 + 2.5)

= 45 × 30

= 1350 m²

Area of road = outer area – inner area

= 1350 – 1000 = 350 m²

Area of one tile = 50 × 70 = 3500 cm² = 0.35 m²

Required number of tiles = Area of the road/ Area of one tile

= 350/0.35

= 35000/35

= 1000

Question 28: A rectangular ground is 60 m long and 40 m wide. There is a 4 m wide path parallel to its length and width inside the ground. Find the expenditure of spreading mud on the path at the rate of Rs. 100 per square metre.

Solution:

Given,

Length of the rectangular ground = 60 m

Width of the rectangular ground = 40 m

Width of the path = 4 m

Area of the path along length

= 60 × 4 = 240 m²

Area of the path along width

= 40 × 4 = 160 m²

Common area = 4 × 4 = 16 m²

∴ Total area of the path

= 240 + 160 – 16

= 384 m²

Expenditure of spreading mud per m² = Rs 100 (given)

∴ Total expenditure of spreading mud on 384 m² = 384 × Rs. 100 = Rs. 38,400

Question 29: Find the area and perimeter of the given diagram.

Solution:

In the given figure, mark the blocks P, Q and R as shown below.

Area of block P = 12 × 2 = 24 m²

Area of block Q = 5 × 2 = 10 m²

Area of block R = 12 × 2 = 24 m²

∴ Total area of the given figure = 24 + 10 + 24 = 58 m²

Perimeter of the whole figure

= 2 + 12 + 2 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 12 + 2 + 5 + 5 + 5

= 62 m

Solution:

According to the given,

l = 15.35 m, b = 4.65 m and h = 6.50 m

Area of four walls

= 2 x (l + b) × h

= 2 x (15.35 + 4.65) × 6.50

= 2 × 20 × 6.50

= 260 m²

Area of four doors

= 4 × 1.5 × 1.3

= 7.8 m²

Area of 3 windows

= 3 × 1.5 × 1.2

= 5.4 m²

The area of the four walls excluding door and windows

= 260 – (7.8 + 5.4)

= 260 – 13.2

= 246.8 m²

Cost of whitewashing 1 m² = Rs. 4.30 (given)

Cost of whitewashing 246.8 m²

= 246.8 × Rs. 4.30

= Rs. 1061.24

Question 3: Each equal side of an isosceles triangle is 6 cm and the other side is 8 cm, then area of triangle will be:

(A) 8√5 cm²

(B) 5√8 cm²

(C) 3√55 cm²

(D) 3√8 cm²

Solution:

Correct answer: (A)

Let a = 6 cm and b = 8 cm

Area of an isosceles triangle = (b/4) × √(4a² – b²)

= (8/4) × √[4(6)² – 8²]

= 2 √[4(36) – 64]

= 2 √(144 – 64)

= 2 √80

= 2 √(4 × 4 × 5)

= 2 × 4√5

= 8√5 cm²

(D) 200√3 cm²

Solution:

Correct answer: (B)

Given,

Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 60 cm

3a = 60

a = 60/3 = 20 cm

Area of an equilateral triangle = (√3)/4 a2

= (√3)/4 × 20 × 20

= 100√3 cm²

Question 5: Area of a right-triangle is 36 cm² and its base is 9 cm, then the length of perpendicular will be:

(A) 8 cm

(B) 4 cm

(C) 16 cm

(D) 32 cm

Solution:

Correct answer: (A)

Area of a right triangle = ½ × base × height

36 = ½ × 9 × height

Height = (36 × 2)/9 = 8

Therefore, the length of the perpendicular = 8 cm

Question 6: If the side of a square is 10 cm, then its perimeter will be:

(A) 20 cm

(B) 10 cm

(C) 40 cm

(D) 30 cm

Solution:

Correct answer: (C)

Given,

Side of a square = 10 cm

Perimeter of square = 4 × side

= 40 cm

Question 7: If the diagonals of a rhombus are 8 cm and 6 cm, then its area will be:

(A) 48 cm²

(B) 24 cm²

(C) 12 cm²

(D) 96 cm²

Solution:

Correct answer: (B)

Given,

Lengths of the diagonals are 8 cm and 6 cm.

Area of rhombus = ½ × Product of two diagonals

= ½ × 8 × 6

= 48/2

= 24 cm²

Question 8: If the perimeter of room is 40 m and height is 4 m, then area of its four walls will be:

(A) 40 m²

(B) 80 m²

(C) 120 m²

(D) 160 m²

Solution:

Correct answer: (D)

Given,

Perimeter of room = 40 m

Area of 4 walls = Perimeter × Height

= 40 × 4

= 160m²

Question 9: What will be the length of the side of an equilateral triangle whose area is 9√3 cm²?

Solution:

Area of an equilateral triangle = (√3)/4 × (side)²

9√3 =(√3)/4 × (side)²

36 = (side)²

side = √36 = 6 cm

Therefore, length of the side = 6 cm

Question 10: Write the formula to find the area of cyclic quadrilateral.

Solution:

Area of cyclic quadrilateral = √[(s – a)(s – b)(s – c)(s – d)]

Where:

a, b, c, d are the measures of sides of cyclic quadrilateral

s = Semi-perimeter of the cyclic quadrilateral = (a + b + c + d)/2

Question 11: Area of a square is 144 m² Are, then write its perimeter.

Solution:

Given,

Area of square =144 m² Are

(side)² = 144 × 100 m² (∵ 1 Are = 100 m2)

(side)² = 14400 m²

⇒ side = √14400 = 120 m

Therefore, Perimeter = 4 × side = 4 × 120 = 480 m

Question 12: If the base of a parallelogram is 18 m and area is 174.60 m², then write its height.

Solution:

Given,

Base of the parallelogram = 18 m

Area of parallelogram = 174.60 m²

Base × Height = 174.60

18 × Height = 174.60

Height = 174.60/18 = 9.7 m

Question 13: Write the area of a quadrilateral whose diagonal is 6 cm and the sum of internal perpendiculars is 12 cm.

Solution:

Given,

Diagonal = 6 cm

Sum of the length of perpendiculars (offsets) is 12 cm.

Area of quadrilateral = ½ × (sum of offsets) × diagonal

= ½ × 12 × 6

= 3 × 12

= 36 cm²

Question 14: Area of an isosceles triangle is 12 cm². Find its base, if the length of its equal sides is 5 cm.

Solution:

Given,

Area of an isosceles triangle = 12 cm2

Length of the equal sides = a = 5 cm

Area of an isosceles triangle = b/4 √(4a² – b²)

12 = b/4 √[4(5)² – b²]

12 × 4 = b√(4 × 25 – b²)

48 = b√(100 – b²)

Squaring on both sides,

2304 = b2(100 – b²)

2304 = 100b2 – b4

b⁴ – 100b² + 2304 = 0

b⁴ – 64b² – 36b² + 2304 = 0

b²(b² – 64) – 36(b² – 64) = 0

(b² – 36)(b² – 64) = 0

b² – 36 = 0 or b² – 64 = 0

b² = 36 or b² = 64

b = 6 or b = 8

Therefore, the base of the triangle is 8 cm or 6 cm.
