Question 1

Find the area of a triangle whose sides are 18 cm, 24 cm and 30 cm.

Since the sides of the triangle are 18 cm, 24 cm and 30 cm respectively.

s = 18+24+302
= 36

Hence the area of the triangle is

= 216 sq cm

again

A =1/2 base x height

hence

216 = 1/2 base x height

216 = 1/2 x 30 x h

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

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

⇒ r(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.
