1. Find the area of an equilateral triangle having each side 4a.
Sol :
Here, side of an equilateral triangle = 2a
Area of an equilateral triangle
= 2 23 3
Side 2a4 4
= 234a
4
= 3 a2 sq units
Hence, area of an equilateral triangle is 3 a2 sq units.
2. Find the area of an isosceles triangle having base 4 cm and length of one of equal sides as
6 cm.
Sol :
In an isosceles ABC, AD is a perpendicular bisector of BC.

AD2 = AB2 – BD2
AD2 =(6)2 – (2)2
AD2 =36 – 4
AD2 =32
AD = 4 2 cm

2 × 4 × 2 8 2 cm2
Hence , area of an isosceles triangle is 28 2 cm .
3. The length of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 4:3:5. If the perimeter of the triangle
is 96 cm. Find its area.
Sol :
Let the sides of a triangle be
a = 4x, b = 3x and c = 5x
Given, perimeter of a triangle = 96 cm
a + b + c = 96
4x + 3x + 5x = 96
12x = 96
96x 8 cm

Sides of a triangle, a = 4x = 4 ×8 = 32 cm.
b = 3x = 3 × 8 =24cm

4. Two parallel sides of a trapezium are 120 cm and 154 cm and other sides are 50 cm and
52 cm. Find the area of trapezium.
Sol :
ABCD is a trapezium in which AB = 154 cm, BC = 52 cm, CD = 120 cm and DA = 50 cm.
Through vertex C, draw CE AD, which meets AB at point E.
Since, AECD is a parallelogram and opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
CE = AD =50 cm, AE = DC =120 cm
and EB = AB – AE =150 – 120 = 30 cm

M: Marks: 40 M: Time: 40 Min.
1. The triangular side walls of a flyover have been used for advertisement ‘SAVE WATER’.
The sides of the walls are 122m, 22m and 120 m. The advertisement yield an earning of
Rs 5000 per m2 per year. A company hired one of its walls for 3 months.
(i) How much rend did it pay?
(ii) What is the value of the message ‘SAVE WATER’ in the society? [4]
Sol. (i)
The length of the sides of the triangular walls are 122 m, 22 m and 120 m.
122 22 120s
2
= 264
2 = 132 m
Area of one triangular wall by using Heron's formula
= s s a s b s c
= 132 132 122 132 22 132 120
= 132 10 110 12
= 1320 m2
Now, yearly rent = Rs 5000 per m2
1 yr = 12 months

www.pioneermathematics.com S.C.O. - 326, Sector 40–D, CHD. Phone: 9815527721, 4617721 12
Then, monthly rent = Rs 5000 × 1
12
Company hired one of its walls for 3 months. Hence, rent paid by the company for 3
months
= Area of wall x Monthly rent × 3
= Rs 1320 × 5000

= Rs 1650000
(ii) Water is precious. We should not use it unnecessarily. We should conserve it for
coming generation.
2. How much paper of each shade is needed to make kite given in the figure, in which ABCD
is a square with diagonal 44 cm? [4]
Sol :
We know that, the all sides of square are equal.
AB = BC = CD = DA
In ACD , we have
AC = 44 cm, D = 900
Using Pythagoras theorem,
(AC)2 = (AD)2 + (DC)2
(44)2 = (AD)2 + (AD)2

[ AD = DC, sides of a square]
2AD2 = 44 × 44
AD = 22 44 [taking positive square root]
AD 22 2 cm
So, AB = BC = CD = DA = 22 2 cm
Area of square ABCD = Side × Side

triangle are 26 cm, 28 cm and 30 cm and the parallelogram stands on the base 28 cm,
then find the height of the parallelogram. [4]

Lets be the semi-perimeter of the triangle. Then,
s = 26 28 30
42cm2
Area of the triangle = 242 42 26 42 28 42 30 cm
= 42 16 14 12 cm2 = 336 cm2
Let h be the height of the parallelogram .
It is given that the triangle and the parallelogram have the same base and between the
same parallels have the same area.
Area of the parallelogram = 336 cm2
Base × Height = 336 cm2
28 × h = 336 cm
h = 336
28cm = 12 cm.

6. A rhombus shaped field has green grass for 20 cows to graze. If each sides of the
rhombus is 52 m and its longer diagonal is 96 m,. Then how much area of the grass field
will each cow be getting? [4]
Solution :
Clearly, triangles ABD and BCD are congruent.
Area of ABD = Area of BCD.
Let S be the semi-perimeter of BCD & ABD.
S = 52 52 96 200
100m2 2
Area of ABD = Area of BCD
= 100 100 52 100 52 100 96
= 100 48 48 4
= 960 m2.
So, area of rhombus = 2 × 960
= 1920 m2.
Area of grass field each cow will graze = 1920
20 = 96 m2
7. If a field is in the shape of trapezium whose parallel sides are 25m and 10m. The non-
parallel sides are 14 m and 13 m, then find the area of the field. [4]

www.pioneermathematics.com S.C.O. - 326, Sector 40–D, CHD. Phone: 9815527721, 4617721 17
AE = DC = 10 m and CE = AD = 13 m
BE = AB – AE = (25 – 10) m = 15 m
Thus, in BCE, we have
BC = 14 m, CE = 13 m and BE = 15 m
Let s be the semi-perimeter of BCE. Then,
2s = BC + CE + BE = 14 + 13 + 15 = 42
s = 21
Area of BCE = 21 21 14 21 13 21 15
Area of BCE = 21 7 8 6
Area of BCE = 2 2 2 27 3 4 84 m

8. Anita has piece of land which is in the shape of a rhombus. She has two
children, one daughter Preeti and one son. Narendra to work on the land produce
different types of crops. She divided the land in two equal parts. If the perimeter of the
