1. Find the area of a regular hexagon of side:

(i)8 cm
(i) 5 cm

2.Find the area of a regular octagon of side: (area of equilateral triangle x 8)

(i)4cm
(ii) 10cm

3.A plot is in the form of a quadrilateral whose one of its diagonals is 240 m long. The two
vertices on either side of the diagonal are 60 m and 70 m. What is the area of the plot of land?

4.Find the area of a rhombus whose diagonals are 34 cm and 22 cm.

5.Find the area of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 55 cm and 47 cm and the distance
between them is 20 cm.

6.Find the distance between the parallel sides of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 49 cm and
23 cm and the area of the trapezium is 864 square cm.

7.What is the area of an equilateral triangle whose side is a unit?

8.Find the height of a trapezium, the sum of the lengths of whose bases (parallel sides) is 60 cm
and whose area is 600 cm2.

9.The parallel sides of a trapezium are 25 cm and 13

cm; its nonparallel sides are equal,
each being 10 cm, find the area of the trapezium.

10. Land plots are given free to landless farmers

run by government. Each plot is a
polygon. Find the area of the polygon PQRSTU.

11. Mohan wants to buy a trapezium shaped field. Its side along the river is parallel and twice the
side along the road. If the area of this field is 10500 m2 and the perpendicular distance between
the two parallel sides is 100 m, find the length of the side along the river
