Solutions

Area 180 5. (a): Area of parallelogram,

1. (b): Breadth = = = 10 m
Length 18
ABCD = (Area of ΔABD + Area of ΔBDC)
∴ Perimeter = 2(length + breadth) = 2(18 + 10)

p
2. (c): Let side of square = x cm
Side of another square = (x + 4) cm 9 + 12 + 15
6. (b): Here, s = = 18 cm
∴ x 2 + (x + 4)2 = 400 2

ou
x 2 + x 2 + 16 + 8x = 400 Area = √s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c)
2x 2 + 8x – 384 = 0 Þ x2 + 4x – 192 = 0 = √18 (18 − 9)(18 − 12)(18 − 15)
x 2 + 16x – 12x – 192 = 0 = √18 × 9 × 6 × 3
x(x + 16) – 12 (x + 16) = 0 = 54 cm2
(x – 12)(x + 16) = 0
∴ x = 12 (– 16 not possible) 7. (c): By formula

∴ side of one square = 12 cm √3 √3
Area = × (side)2 ⇒ × (side)2 = 4√3
side of another square = 16 cm 4 4

Breadth of the outer rectangle = 40 m = 25 × 100 = 9 × 4 = 36%
∴ Area = 60 × 40 = 2400 m2. Shortcut:

Width of path = 1 m %=x+y+

Length of the inner rectangle = 60 m – (1 + 1) m 100

100
Breadth of the inner rectangle = 40 – 2 = 38 m = – 40 + 4 = – 36% (–ve sign show % decrease)
∴ Area = 58 × 38 = 2204 m2
Area of path 10. (d): Let the radius of the protractor = r cm

– [ Area of inner rectangle] ∴
36
r = 36 ⇒ r = 7 cm
