                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Given that, a = 8 cm, b = 10 cm and c = 12 cm 
 We know, that
 s = (a + b + c)/2
 Area = √s(s - a) (s - b) (s - c)Correct Option: BGiven that, a = 8 cm, b = 10 cm and c = 12 cm 
 We know, that
 s = (a + b + c)/2
 = (8 + 10 + 12)/2
 = 30/2 = 15 cm
 ∴ (s - a) = (15 - 8) = 7 cm
 (s - b) = (15 - 10) = 5 cm
 (s - c) = (15 - 12) = 3 cm
 ∴ Area = √s(s - a) (s - b) (s - c)
 = √15 x 7 x 5 x 3
 = √1575
 = √25 x 63
 = 5√63 cm
-  The area of a right angled triangle is 10 sq cm. If its perpendicular is equal to 20 cm, find its base.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Given that, area = 10 sq cm, 
 perpendicular = 20 cm and base = ?
 area = (base x perpendicular) / 2Correct Option: AGiven that, area = 10 sq cm, 
 perpendicular = 20 cm and base = ?
 area = (base x Perpendicular) / 2
 ⇒ 10 = (base x 20) / 2
 ∴ base = 1 cm
-  The area of a right angled triangle is 40 sq cm. If its base is equal to 28 cm. find its height.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Given that, 
 area = 40 sq cm,
 base = 28 cm and
 height = perpendicular = ?
 Area = (base x perpendicular) / 2Correct Option: CGiven that, 
 area = 40 sq cm,
 base = 28 cm and
 height = perpendicular = ?
 Area = (base x perpendicular) / 2
 ⇒ 40 = (28 x perpendicular) / 2
 ∴ perpendicular = 40/14 = 20/7
 = 26/7 cm
-  Find the perimeter of a triangle with sides equal to 6 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm.
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Given that, a = 6 cm, b = 4 cm and c = 5 cm 
 Required perimeter = a + b + cCorrect Option: DGiven that, a = 6 cm, b = 4 cm and c = 5 cm 
 Required perimeter = a + b + c
 = 6 + 4 + 5 cm
 = 15 cm
-  One side of a parallelogram is 8.06 cm and its perpendicular distance from opposite side is 2.08 cm. What is the approximate area of the parallelogram?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Area of parallelogram = Base x Height 
 = 8.06 x 2.08Correct Option: CArea of parallelogram = Base x Height 
 = 8.06 x 2.08 = 16.76 cm2
