Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 1

are of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
                       = 1/2 x 8 x 10
                       =  40

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 2

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 3 : 4 : 5. If its perimeter is 36 cm, then what is its area?

Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 2

It is given that the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5.

Let the length of sides are 3x, 4x and 5x.

It's perimeter is 36 cm.

3x+4x+5x = 36

12x = 36

x = 3

The value of x is 3. The length of sides are 9, 12, 15.

It is an right angled triangle because the sum of squares of two smaller sides is equal to the square of larger sides.

92 + 122 = 152

81 + 144 = 225

Here, the length of hypotenuse is 15 cm.

The area of triangle is

1/2 x 9 x12

54 cm2

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 3

An isosceles right triangle has area 8 cm2. The length of its hypotenuse is

Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 3

area of a triangle = base x height/2

for a right angled isosceles triangle, base = height

so area = base2/2

8 x2 = base2

base = height = 4 cm

hypotnuese = √base2 + height2 = √2base2

= √2 x 8 x 2

= √32 cm

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 4

Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 5
Through Heron’s formula =
S=Perimeter/2
S=5/2
Let a=1m, b=2m ,c=2m

Formulae= Root(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))
=root(5/2(5/2 - 1)(5/2 - 2)(5/2 - 2))
=root(5/2*3/2*1/2*1/2)
=root(15/16)
=root(15)/4
Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 6

The base of a right triangle is 8 cm and hypotenuse is 10 cm. Its area will be

Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 6



 

Solution:

 


  • Given that the base of the right triangle is 8 cm and the hypotenuse is 10 cm.

  • Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the height of the triangle:

  • Height = sqrt(hypotenuse2 - base2) = sqrt(102 - 82) = sqrt(100 - 64) = sqrt(36) = 6 cm

  • Now, we can calculate the area of the triangle using the formula: Area = 0.5 * base * height

  • Area = 0.5 * 8 * 6 = 24 cm2


  •  


 

Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 24 cm2, which corresponds to option A.



 

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 7

The area of a triangle whose sides are 12 cm, 16 cm and 20 cm is

Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 7

Solution :- Area of a triangle of sides a , b & c is : √( s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) )

where s=(a+b+c)/2

ln given triangle , s=(20+12+16)/2=48/2=24

Thus area of given triangle = √(24(24-20)(24-12)(24-16))

=√(24×4×12×8)

=√9216

=96

Thus area of triangle of sides 20cm ,12cm and 16cm is 96cm2

Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 12

Area of  triangle:

Perimeter of Triangle:

Perimeter of a closed figure is the sum of lengths of all of its sides.
Given, sides of a triangle are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm.
Then, its perimeter = (3 + 4 + 5) cm
= 12 cm

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 13

The perimeter of a rhombus is 20 cm. One of its diagonals is 8 cm. Then area of the rhombus is

Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 13

Given, Perimeter of a rhombus = 20 cm
Perimeter of a rhombus = 4*side
Hence, side = 20/4 = 5 cm.
Now, we know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles (90 degree).
Hence 'a right angled triangle can be visualised with 'side' as the hypotenuse'.

diagonal length = 8 cm
Half the length (since diagonal bisects each other) = 8/2 = 4 cm
(d/2)2 + (d1/2)^2 = 52
4^2 + (d1/2)2 = 52
(d1/2)2 = 9
d1/2 = 3
d1 = 3*2 = 6 cm
Hence other diagonal = 6 cm.

Area = 1/2 * d1*d = 1/2 * 8 * 6 = 24 cm2

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 14

The area of an isosceles triangle having base 2 cm and the length of one of the equal sides 4 cm, is

Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 14

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 15

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 16

If the side of an equilateral triangle is 4 cm, then its area is

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 17

The area of a triangle whose sides are 15 cm, 8 cm and 19 cm is

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 18

If one side and one diagonal of a rhombus and 20 m and 24 m, then its area =

Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 18

The rhombus has a perimeter of 80m.
A rhombus has 4 equal sides, each would be 20m.
One of the diagonals is 24m...this is bisected by the other diagonal into 12m segs.
The diagonals of a rhombus intersect at right angles. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the other diagonal...
12² + b² = 20²
144 + b² = 400
b² = 256
b = 16
This is of course the length of just one segment, the diagonal is 32m.
Now we can use our area formula with the diagonals.
A = ½d¹d²
A = ½(24)(32)
A = 384 m²

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 19

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 20

Area of an equilateral triangle of side 2 cm is :

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 21

If the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 24 m, then its area is

Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 21

Given:
Area of equilateral ∆ = 16√3 m²
Let the side of equilateral ∆ = a m
Area of equilateral ∆ = (√3/4)a²
16√3 = (√3/4)a²
16√3 × (4/√3) = a²
64 = a²
a = √64
a =√ 8 × 8 = 8 m
Side of equilateral ∆ = 8 m
Perimeter of equilateral ∆ = 3 × side
Perimeter of equilateral ∆ = 3 × 8 = 24 m.
Hence, the perimeter of equilateral ∆ is 24 m.

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 22

Each of the equal sides of an isosceles triangle is 2 cm greater than its height. If the base of the triangle is 12 cm, then its area is

Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 25

The base of a right triangle is 8 cm and hypotenuse is 10 cm. Its area will be :

Detailed Solution for Test: Heron's Formula- 1 - Question 25
Given, 

base= 8cm

hypotenuse= 10cm  

First, let us find the height of the triangle:  

Let height = h  

By applying pythagorean theorem  

h 2 + 8 2 = 10 2

h 2 + 64 = 100

h 2 = 100 - 64

h 2 = 36

h = 6cm  

Now let us find the area,  

Area = 1/2 x b x h    

= 1/2 x 8 x 6  

= 1/2 x 48  

= 24cm 2

Therefore, area of the right triangle = 24cm 2
