Q1
What is the area of an equilateral triangle of side 16 cm?
A. 48 [latex]\sqrt{3}[/latex] [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
B. 128 [latex]\sqrt{3}[/latex] [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
C. 9.6 [latex]\sqrt{3}[/latex] [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
D. 64 [latex]\sqrt{3}[/latex] [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
Area of an equilateral triangle = [latex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} {cm}^{2}[/latex]
If S = 16, Area of triangle = [latex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 16 \times 16 = 64 \sqrt{3} {cm}^{2}[/latex]
Q2
If the sides of a triangle are 26 cm, 24 cm and 10 cm, what is its area?
A. 120 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
B. 130 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
C. 312 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
D. 315 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
The triangle with sides 26 cm, 24 cm and 10 cm is right angled, where the hypotenuse is 26 cm.
Area of the triangle = [latex]\frac{1}{2} \times 24 \times 10 = 120 {cm}^{2}[/latex]
Q3
Find the area of trapezium whose parallel sides are 20 cm and 18 cm long, and the distance between them is 15 cm.
A. 225 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
B. 275 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
C. 285 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
D. 315 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
Area of a trapezium = [latex]\frac{1}{2} (sum of parallel sides) \times (perpendicular distance between them)[/latex]
= [latex]\frac{1}{2} (20 + 18) \times (15) = 285 {cm}^{2}[/latex]
Q4
Find the area of a parallelogram with base 24 cm and height 16 cm.
A. 262 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
B. 384 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
C. 192 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
D. 131 [latex]{cm}^{2}[/latex]
Area of a triangle = r * s
Where r is the in radius and s is the semi perimeter of the triangle.
Area of triangle = [latex]2.5 \times \frac{28}{2} = 35 {cm}^{2}[/latex]
