Area and Perimeter
- The area of sector of a circle of radius 5 cm, formed by an arc of length 3.5 cm is ?
-
View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
Area of sector = ( arc length x radius ) / 2 cm2
Correct Option: C
Area of sector = ( arc length x radius ) / 2 cm2
= (3.5 x 5 ) / 2
= 8.75 cm2

Let length = a metres and breadth = b metres
then, 2(a+b)= 46
⇒ (a+b) =23 and ab =120
∴diogonal = √a2+b2=√(a+b)2-2ab
√232-2 *120
=√ 289 = 17mCorrect Option: C
Let length = a metres and breadth = b metres
Then, 2(a+b)= 46
⇒ (a+b) =23 and ab =120
∴ Diagonal = √a2 + b2
√(23)2-2 x 120
√289 = 17 m

Speed = 12 x (5/18) m/sec
=10/3 m/sec
there4; perimeter = (10/3) x 15 x 60 m=3000 m
∵ 2( a + 4a) = 3000 m
⇒ a = 300 m
So, length = 1200 m and breadth = 300 mCorrect Option: A
Speed = 12 x (5/18) m/sec
=10/3 m/sec
there4; perimeter = (10/3) x 15 x 60 m=3000 m
∵ 2( a + 4a) = 3000 m
⇒ a = 300 m
So, length = 1200 m and breadth = 300 m
∴ Area = (1200 x 300 ) m2 = 360000m2

Area of a triangle formed by joining the mid point of the sides of the triangle is 1/4th of area of the original triangle .
Correct Option: B
Area of a triangle formed by joining the mid point of the sides of the triangle is 1/4th of area of the original triangle .
So area of Δ DEF = 36/ 4 = 9 m2

Let the longer side = l, shorter side = b and diagonal = d
Then, area of rectangular carpet = l x b = 60 ....(1)
And from question d + l = 5b
⇒ d = 5b - l ...(2)
⇒ d2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
⇒ l2+ b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
⇒ l2+b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x 60
⇒ 24b2 = 600
∴ b = √25 = 5 m
√ l = 60 / b = 60 / 5 = 12 mCorrect Option: B
Let the longer side = l, shorter side = b and diagonal = d
Then, area of rectangular carpet = l x b = 60 ....(1)
And from question d + l = 5b
⇒ d = 5b - l ...(2)
⇒ d2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
⇒ l2+ b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
⇒ l2+b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x 60
⇒ 24b2 = 600
∴ b = √25 = 5 m
√ l = 60 / b = 60 / 5 = 12 m
