Question 1

The perimeter of a triangle is 450 m and its side are in the ratio 12 : 5 : 13. Find the area of the triangle.Solution 1

Let the sides of the triangle be

a = 12x

b = 5x

c = 13x

Given that the perimeter = 450 cm

⇒ 12x + 5x + 13x = 450

⇒ 30x = 450

⇒ x = 15

Hence, the sides of a triangle are

a = 12x = 12(15) = 180 cm

b = 5x = 5(15) = 75 cm

c = 13x = 13(15) = 195 cm

In right-angled triangle CMB,

BM² = BC² - CM² = (15)² - (9)² = 225 - 81 = 144

Question 4

Sum of the areas or two squares is 400 cm². If the difference of their perimeters is 16 cm, find the sides of the two squares.Solution 4

Let the sides of two squares be a and b respectively.

Then, area of one square, S₁ = a²

And, area of second square, S₂ = b²

Given, S₁ + S₂ = 400 cm²

⇒ a² + b² = 400 cm² …..(1)

Also, difference in perimeter = 16 cm

⇒ 4a - 4b = 16 cm

⇒ a - b = 4

⇒ a = (4 + b)

Substituting the value of 'a' in (1), we get

(4 + b)² + b² = 400

⇒ 16 + 8b + b² + b² = 400

⇒ 2b² + 8b - 384 = 0

⇒ b² + 4b - 192 = 0

⇒ b² + 16b - 12b - 192 = 0

⇒ b(b + 16) - 12(b + 16) = 0

⇒ (b +16)(b - 12) = 0

⇒ b + 16 = 0 or b - 12 = 0

⇒ b = -16 or b = 12

Since, the side of a square cannot be negative, we reject -16.

Thus, b = 12

⇒ a = 4 + b = 4 + 12 = 16

Hence, the sides of a square are 16 cm and 12 cm respectively.Question 5

Find the area and the perimeter of a square with diagonal 24 cm. [Take =1.41]Solution 5

Diagonal of a square = 24 cm

Question 6

A steel wire, when bent in the form of a square, encloses an area of 121 cm². The same wire is bent in the form of a circle. Find area the circle.Solution 6

Question 7

The perimeter of a semicircular plate is 108 cm. find its area.Solution 7

Question 8

Two circles touch externally. The sum of their areas is 130π sq. cm and the distance between their centres is 14 cm. Find the radii of the circles.Solution 8

Let the radii of two circles be r₁ and r₂ respectively.

Sum of the areas of two circles = 130π sq. cm

⇒ πr₁² + πr₂² = 130π

⇒ r₁² + r₂² = 130 ….(i)

Also, distance between two radii = 14 cm

⇒ r₁ + r₂ = 14

⇒ r₁ = (14 - r₂)

Substituting the value of r₁ in (i), we get

(14 - r₂)² + r₂² = 130

⇒ 196 - 28r₂ + r₂² + r₂² = 130

⇒ 2r₂² - 28r₂ + 66 = 0

⇒ r₂² - 14r₂ + 33 = 0

⇒ r₂² - 11r₂ - 3r₂ + 33 = 0

⇒ r₂ (r₂ - 11) - 3 (r₂ - 11) = 0

⇒ (r₂ - 11) (r₂ - 3) = 0

⇒ r₂ = 11 or r₂ = 3

⇒ r₁ = 14 - 11 = 3 or r₁ = 14 - 3 = 11

Thus, the radii of two circles are 11 cm and 3 cm respectively.Question 9
