Question 1: If ABC and BDE are two equilateral triangles such that D is the mid-point of BC, then find ar(△ABC) : ar(△BDE).

Solution:

Given: ABC and BDE are two equilateral triangles.

We know, area of an equilateral triangle = √3/4 (side)2

Let “a” be the side measure of given triangle.

Find ar(△ABC):

ar(△ABC) = √3/4 (a) 2

Find ar(△BDE):

ar(△BDE) = √3/4 (a/2) 2

(D is the mid-point of BC)

Now,

ar(△ABC) : ar(△BDE)

or √3/4 (a) 2 : √3/4 (a/2) 2

or 1 : 1/4

or 4:1

This implies, ar(△ABC) : ar(△BDE) = 4:1

Question 2: In figure, ABCD is a rectangle in which CD = 6 cm, AD = 8 cm. Find the area of parallelogram CDEF.

RD sharma class 9 maths chapter 15 ex vsaqs question 2

Solution:

ABCD is a rectangle, where CD = 6 cm and AD = 8 cm (Given)

From figure: Parallelogram CDEF and rectangle ABCD on the same base and between the same parallels, which means both have equal areas.

Area of parallelogram CDEF = Area of rectangle ABCD ….(1)

Area of rectangle ABCD = CD x AD = 6 x 8 cm2 = 48 cm2

Equation (1) => Area of parallelogram CDEF = 48 cm2.

Question 3: In figure, find the area of ΔGEF.

RD sharma class 9 maths chapter 15 ex vsaqs question 3

Solution:

From figure:

Parallelogram CDEF and rectangle ABCD on the same base and between the same parallels, which means both have equal areas.

Area of CDEF = Area of ABCD = 8 x 6 cm2= 48 cm2

Again,

Parallelogram CDEF and triangle EFG are on the same base and between the same parallels, then

Area of a triangle = ½(Area of parallelogram)

In this case,

Area of a triangle EFG = ½(Area of parallelogram CDEF) = 1/2(48 cm2) = 24 cm2.

Question 4: In figure, ABCD is a rectangle with sides AB = 10 cm and AD = 5 cm. Find the area of ΔEFG.

RD sharma class 9 maths chapter 15 ex vsaqs question 4

Solution:

From figure:

Parallelogram ABEF and rectangle ABCD on the same base and between the same parallels, which means both have equal areas.

Area of ABEF = Area of ABCD = 10 x 5 cm2= 50 cm2

Again,

Parallelogram ABEF and triangle EFG are on the same base and between the same parallels, then

Area of a triangle = ½(Area of parallelogram)

In this case,

Area of a triangle EFG = ½(Area of parallelogram ABEF) = 1/2(50 cm2) = 25 cm2.

Question 5: PQRS is a rectangle inscribed in a quadrant of a circle of radius 13 cm. A is any point on PQ. If PS = 5 cm, then find ar(△RAS).

Solution:

PQRS is a rectangle with PS = 5 cm and PR = 13 cm (Given)

In △PSR:

Using Pythagoras theorem,

SR2 = PR2 – PS2 = (13) 2 – (5) 2 = 169 – 25 = 114

or SR = 12

Now,

Area of △RAS = 1/2 x SR x PS

= 1/2 x 12 x 5

= 30

Therefore, Area of △RAS is 30 cm2.
