Area Problems In a triangle ABC, BC = 5 cm AC = 12 cm and AB = 13 cm. The length of a altitude drawn from B on AC is? 5 cm 7 cm 4 cm 6 cm 5 cm 7 cm 4 cm 6 cm ANSWER EXPLANATION DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP ? s= (13 + 5 + 12) / 2 cm = 15cms-a = 2 cm, s-b = 10 cm and s-c = 3 cm ? Area = ? (15 x 2 x 10 x 3 ) cm2= 30 cm2? (12 x h) / 2 = 30 ? h = 5 cm
Area Problems The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is equal to 14 cm . The lateral side is to the base in the ratio 5 : 4 the area of the triangle is? 2?21 cm2 ?212 1/2?21 cm2 3/2?21 cm2 2?21 cm2 ?212 1/2?21 cm2 3/2?21 cm2 ANSWER EXPLANATION DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP Let lateral side = (5y) cm and base = (4y) cm ? perimeter = 5y + 5y + 4y = 14 ?y = 1So, the sides are 5 cm , 5 cm and 4 cm Now s= 1/2 (5 + 5 + 4) cm = 7 cm (s-a) = 2 cm (s-b) = 2 cm and (s-c) = 3 cm? Required Area = ? (7 x 2 x 2 x 3) cm2=2?21 cm2
Area Problems The sides of a triangular board are 13 meters, 14 meters and 15 meters. The cost of paining it at the rate of Rs. 8.75 per m 2 is? Rs. 722.50 Rs. 688.80 Rs. 730.80 Rs. 735 Rs. 722.50 Rs. 688.80 Rs. 730.80 Rs. 735 ANSWER EXPLANATION DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP s = (13 + 14 + 15 ) / 2 = 21, s-a = 8 , s-b = 7, s-c= 6? Area to be painted = ? [s(s-a) (s-b) (s-c)]=? [21 x 8 x 7 x 6] m2= 84 m2? Cost of painting = Rs. (84 x 8.75) = Rs. 735
