    Given that, a = 6 cm, b = 4 cm and c = 5 cm
    Required perimeter = a + b + c

    Correct Option: D

    Given that, a = 6 cm, b = 4 cm and c = 5 cm
    Required perimeter = a + b + c
    = 6 + 4 + 5 cm
    = 15 cm


  1. Find the area of a triangle whose sides measure 8 cm, 10 cm and 12 cm.

    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: B

    Given 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



  1. The area of an equilateral triangle whose side is 8 cms is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Req. Area = √3/4 x a2

    Correct Option: B

    Req. Area = √3/4 x a2 = √3/4 x 82 cm2
    = 16√3 cm2


  1. The length of each side of an equilateral triangle having an area of 4√3 cm2 is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 a2 = 4√3.

    Correct Option: D

    Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 a2 = 4√3.
    ⇒ a2 = 16
    ∴ a = 4 cm



  1. Area of a square is 1/2 hectare. The diagonal of the square is?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Area = 1/2 hectare = 10000 / 2 m2
    = 5000 m2

    Again Area = 1/2 x (Diagonal)2

    Correct Option: B

    Area = 1/2 hectare = 10000 / 2 m2
    = 5000 m2

    Again Area = 1/2 x (Diagonal)2

    So 1/2 x (Diagonal)2 = 5000m2
    ⇒ Diagonal2= 10000
    ∴ Diagonal = 100
