Show SolutionHide Solution↓

The area of a triangle is given by:

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x length x altitude

When the length of the side and the corresponding altitude of the triangle are doubled:

Area1 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 2 x length x 2 x altitude

= $4 \times \Big( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{length} \times \text{altitude} \Big)$

= 4 x Area

Area1 = 4 x Area

Thus, the new area of triangle becomes four times the original area.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

1(b)Exercise 19(A)

If each side of an equilateral triangle is halved, its area will be :

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Area of equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times side^2$

If each side of the equilateral triangle is halved, then the new area will be:

New area = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \Big(\frac{side}{2}\Big)^2$

= $\frac{1}{4}\Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times side^2\Big)$

= $\frac{1}{4}$ x Original area

Therefore, the new area of the equilateral triangle will be one-fourth of the original area.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.

1(c)Exercise 19(A)

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Area = 37.5 cm2

Base = 12.5 cm

Let h be the altitude of triangle.

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x altitude

⇒ 37.5 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 12.5 x h

⇒ h = $\frac{37.5 \times 2}{12.5}$

⇒ h = $\frac{75}{12.5}$

⇒ h = 6 cm

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x altitude

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 12 x 12 cm2

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 144 cm2

= 72 cm2

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

1(e)Exercise 19(A)

The sides of a triangle are 9 cm, 12 cm and 15 cm; the area of the triangle is :

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let the sides of the triangle be:

a = 9 cm, b = 12 cm and c = 15 cm.

The semi-perimeter s:

$$\begin{aligned}∵ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{9 + 12 + 15}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{36}{2}\\[1em] = 18\end{aligned}$$

∵ Area of triangle = $\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

= $\sqrt{18(18 - 9)(18 - 12)(18 - 15)}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{18 \times 9 \times 6 \times 3}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{2,916}$ cm2

= 54 cm2

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

2Exercise 19(A)

Find the area of a triangle whose sides are 18 cm, 24 cm and 30 cm.

Also, find the length of altitude corresponding to the largest side of the triangle.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let the sides of the triangle be:

a = 18 cm, b = 24 cm and c = 30 cm.

The semi-perimeter s:

$$\begin{aligned}∵ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{18 + 24 + 30}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{72}{2}\\[1em] = 36\end{aligned}$$

∵ Area of triangle = $\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

= $\sqrt{36(36 - 18)(36 - 24)(36 - 30)}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{36 \times 18 \times 12 \times 6}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{46,656}$ cm2

= 216 cm2

Find the area of a triangle whose sides are 18 cm, 24 cm and 30 cm. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Using the area formula to find the altitude corresponding to the largest side (base = 30 cm):

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x altitude

Let h be the altitude:

⇒ 216 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 30 x h

⇒ 216 = 15 x h

⇒ h = $\frac{216}{15}$

⇒ h = 14.4 cm

Hence, the area of the triangle is 216 cm2 and the length of altitude corresponding to the largest side is 14.4 cm.

3Exercise 19(A)

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5. Find the area of the triangle if its perimeter is 144 cm.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

It is given that the lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5.

Let the lengths of the sides be 3a, 4a and 5a.

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5. Find the area of the triangle if its perimeter is 144 cm. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

The perimeter of the triangle is 144 cm.

Perimeter = sum of all sides of triangle

⇒ 144 = 3a + 4a + 5a

⇒ 144 = 12a

⇒ a = $\frac{144}{12}$

⇒ a = 12

So, the sides of triangle = 3a, 4a and 5a

= 3 x 12, 4 x 12 and 5 x 12

= 36, 48 and 60

Let a = 36 cm, b = 48 cm and c = 60 cm.

The semi-perimeter s:

$$\begin{aligned}∵ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{36 + 48 + 60}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{144}{2}\\[1em] = 72\end{aligned}$$

∵ Area of triangle = $\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

= $\sqrt{72(72 - 36)(72 - 48)(72 - 60)}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{72 \times 36 \times 24 \times 12}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{746,496}$ cm2

= 864 cm2

Hence, the area of the triangle is 864 cm2.

4Exercise 19(A)

ABC is a triangle in which AB = AC = 4 cm and ∠A = 90°. Calculate :

(i) the area of Δ ABC,

(ii) the length of perpendicular from A to BC.

(i) Given:

AB = AC = 4 cm

∠A = 90°

ABC is a triangle in which AB = AC = 4 cm and ∠A = 90°. Calculate : Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 4 x 4 cm2

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 16 cm2

= 8 cm2

(ii) By using the Pythagoras theorem,

AB2 + AC2 = BC2

⇒ (4)2 + (4)2 = BC2

⇒ 16 + 16 = BC2

⇒ BC2 = 32

⇒ BC = $\sqrt{32}$

⇒ BC = 4 $\sqrt{2}$ cm

Now considering BC as the base of the triangle, altitude AD will be its height.

ABC is a triangle in which AB = AC = 4 cm and ∠A = 90°. Calculate : Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Area of the triangle will remain the same as before i.e., 8 cm2.

Let h be the altitude of triangle

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

∴ 8 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x BC x AD

⇒ 8 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x $4 \sqrt{2}$ x h

⇒ 8 = $2 \sqrt{2}$ x h

⇒ h = $\frac{8}{2 \sqrt{2}}$

⇒ h = $\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}$

⇒ h = 2.83 cm

Hence, the length of perpendicular from A to BC is 2.83 cm.

5Exercise 19(A)

The area of an equilateral triangle is $36\sqrt{3}\text{ sq. cm}$. Find its perimeter.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Area = $36\sqrt{3}\text{ sq. cm}$

Let s be the side of equilateral triangle.

Area of equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \text{side}^2$

$$\begin{aligned}⇒ 36\sqrt{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times s^2\\[1em] ⇒ 36\cancel{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\cancel{\sqrt{3}}}{4} \times s^2\\[1em] ⇒ 36 = \frac{1}{4} \times s^2\\[1em] ⇒ s^2 = 36 \times 4\\[1em] ⇒ s^2 = 144\\[1em] ⇒ s = \sqrt{144}\\[1em] ⇒ s = 12\end{aligned}$$

Perimeter = 3 x side

= 3 x 12 cm

= 36 cm

Hence, the perimeter is 36 cm.

6Exercise 19(A)

Find the area of an isosceles triangle with perimeter 36 cm and base 16 cm.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Perimeter = 36 cm

Base = 16 cm

Let a be the length of the equal sides of the triangle.

Perimeter = 2 x Equal side + Base

⇒ 36 = 2a + 16

⇒ 2a = 36 - 16

⇒ 2a = 20

⇒ a = $\frac{20}{2}$

⇒ a = 10 cm

Thus, the triangle has two equal sides, each 10 cm long, and a base of 16 cm.

a = 10 cm, b = 10 cm and c = 16 cm.

The semi-perimeter is:

$$\begin{aligned}∵ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{10 + 10 + 16}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{36}{2}\\[1em] = 18\end{aligned}$$

∵ Area of triangle = $\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

= $\sqrt{18(18 - 10)(18 - 10)(18 - 16)}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{18 \times 8 \times 8 \times 2}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{2,304}$ cm2

= 48 cm2

Hence, the area is 48 cm2.

7Exercise 19(A)

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Base (b) = 24 cm

Area = 192 cm2

Let s be the length of the equal sides of the triangle.

Area of an isosceles triangle = $\frac{1}{4} \times b \times \sqrt{4s^2 - b^2}$

$$\begin{aligned}⇒ 192 = \frac{1}{4} \times 24 \times \sqrt{4s^2 - 24^2}\\[1em] ⇒ 192 = 6 \times \sqrt{4s^2 - 576}\\[1em] ⇒ \sqrt{4s^2 - 576} = \frac{192}{6}\\[1em] ⇒ \sqrt{4s^2 - 576} = 32\\[1em] ⇒ 4s^2 - 576 = 1024\\[1em] ⇒ 4s^2 = 1024 + 576\\[1em] ⇒ 4s^2 = 1600\\[1em] ⇒ s^2 = \frac{1600}{4}\\[1em] ⇒ s^2 = 400\\[1em] ⇒ s = \sqrt{400}\\[1em] ⇒ s = 20\end{aligned}$$

Perimeter = sum of all sides of triangle

= 20 + 20 + 24 cm

= 64 cm

Hence, the perimeter is 64 cm.

8Exercise 19(A)

The given figure shows a right-angled triangle ABC and an equilateral triangle BCD. Find the area of the shaded portion.

The given figure shows a right-angled triangle ABC and an equilateral triangle BCD. Find the area of the shaded portion. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.
Show SolutionHide Solution↓

For triangle ABC (right-angled triangle),

Using the Pythagoras theorem,

Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2

⇒ 82 + height2 = 162

⇒ 64 + height2 = 256

⇒ height2 = 256 - 64

⇒ height2 = 192

⇒ height = $\sqrt{192}$

⇒ height = 8 $\sqrt{3}$

Area of triangle ABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

= $\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 8 \sqrt{3}$

= $4 \times 8 \sqrt{3}$

= $32 \sqrt{3}$ cm2

For triangle BCD,

Area of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$ x side2

= $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$ x 82

= $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$ x 64

= 16 $\sqrt{3}$ cm2

Area of Δ ABD (shaded portion) = Area of Δ ABC - Area of Δ BDC

= 32 $\sqrt{3}$ - 16 $\sqrt{3}$ cm2

= 16 $\sqrt{3}$ cm2

Hence, the area of the shaded portion is 16$\sqrt{3}$ cm2 = 27.712 cm2.

Find the area and the perimeter of quadrilateral ABCD, given below; if, AB = 8 cm, AD = 10 cm, BD = 12 cm, DC = 13 cm and ∠DBC = 90°. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.
Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

AB = 8 cm, AD = 10 cm, BD = 12 cm, DC = 13 cm and ∠DBC = 90°

In Δ BCD,

By using the Pythagoras theorem,

Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2

⇒ BC2 + 122 = 132

⇒ BC2 + 144 = 169

⇒ BC2 = 169 - 144

⇒ BC2 = 25

⇒ BC = $\sqrt{25}$

⇒ BC = 5 cm

Area of Δ BCD = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 12 x 5 cm2

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 60 cm2

= 30 cm2

For Δ ABD,

Let AD = a = 10 cm, BD = b = 12 cm and AB = c = 8 cm.

$$\begin{aligned}∵ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{10 + 12 + 8}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{30}{2}\\[1em] = 15\end{aligned}$$

∵ Area of triangle = $\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

= $\sqrt{15(15 - 10)(15 - 12)(15 - 8)}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{15 \times 5 \times 3 \times 7}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{1,575}$ cm2

= 39.7 cm2

Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of Δ ABD + Area of Δ BCD

= 39.5 + 30 cm2

= 69.5 cm2

Perimeter of quadrilateral ABCD = Sum of all sides of quadrilateral

= AB + BC + CD + DA

= 8 + 10 + 13 + 5

= 36 cm

Hence, the area of quadrilateral is 69.7 cm2 and the perimeter is 36 cm.

The base of a triangular field is three times its height. If the cost of cultivating the field at ₹ 36.72 per 100 m2 is ₹ 49,572; find its base and height.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Cost of cultivating the field = ₹ 36.72 per 100 m2

Total cost = ₹ 49,572

Total cost = Area x Cost of cultivating per 100 m2

Area = $\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Cost of cultivating}}$

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{49,572 \times 100}{36.72}\\[1em] = \frac{49,572 \times 10,000}{3672}\\[1em] = 1,35,000 \text{ m}^2\end{aligned}$$

Let the height of the triangle be h.

Since the base of the field is three times its height, we have:

Base = 3h

The base of a triangular field is three times its height. If the cost of cultivating the field at ₹ 36.72 per 100 m2 is ₹ 49,572; find its base and height. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

$$\begin{aligned}⇒ 1,35,000 = \frac{1}{2} \times 3h \times h\\[1em] ⇒ 1,35,000 = \frac{3}{2} \times h^2\\[1em] ⇒ h^2 = \frac{1,35,000 \times 2}{3}\\[1em] ⇒ h^2 = \frac{2,70,000}{3}\\[1em] ⇒ h^2 = 90,000\\[1em] ⇒ h = \sqrt{90,000}\\[1em] ⇒ h = 300\end{aligned}$$

Thus, the height of the triangle is 300 m.

Base = 3 x height = 3 x 300 m = 900 m

Hence, the height is 300 m and the base is 900m.

11Exercise 19(A)

The sides of a triangular field are in the ratio 5 : 3 : 4 and its perimeter is 180 m. Find :

(i) its area.

(ii) altitude of the triangle corresponding to its largest side.

(iii) the cost of levelling the field at the rate of ₹ 10 per square metre.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given:

The sides of a triangular field are in the ratio 5 : 3 : 4.

Perimeter = 180 m

Let the sides of field be 5a, 3a and 4a.

Perimeter = Sum of all sides of triangular field

⇒ 180 = 5a + 3a + 4a

⇒ 180 = 12a

⇒ a = $\frac{180}{12}$

⇒ a = 15

Thus, sides of field = 5a , 3a and 4a

= 5 x 15, 3 x 15 and 4 x 15

= 75 m, 45 m and 60 m

Let a = 75 m, b = 45 m and c = 60 m.

$$\begin{aligned}∵ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{75 + 45 + 60}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{180}{2}\\[1em] = 90\end{aligned}$$

∵ Area of triangle = $\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

= $\sqrt{90(90 - 75)(90 - 45)(90 - 60)}$ m2

= $\sqrt{90 \times 15 \times 45 \times 30}$ m2

= $\sqrt{18,22,500}$ m2

= 1,350 m2

Hence, the area is 1,350 m2.

(ii) Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x altitude

Base = 75 m

Let h be the altitude of triangle corresponding to the largest side 75 m,

The sides of a triangular field are in the ratio 5 : 3 : 4 and its perimeter is 180 m. Find : Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

⇒ 1350 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 75 x h

⇒ h = $\frac{1350 \times 2}{75}$

⇒ h = $\frac{2,700}{75}$

⇒ h = 36 m

Hence, the altitude of the triangle corresponding to its largest side is 36 m.

(iii) Cost of levelling = ₹ 10 per square metre

Total cost = Area x Cost of levelling

= ₹ 1,350 x 10

= ₹ 13,500

Hence, the total cost of levelling is ₹ 13,500.

Each of equal sides of an isosceles triangle is 4 cm greater than its height.

Each of equal sides of an isosceles triangle is 4 cm greater than its height. If the base of the triangle is 24 cm; calculate the perimeter and the area of the triangle. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Let h be the height of the triangle.

Equal sides: AB = AC = h + 4

Base: BC = 24 cm

In Δ ABD and Δ ACD,

AD = AD [∵ Common Side]

∠ ADB = ∠ ADC [∵ Both are 90°]

AB = AC [∵ Δ ABC is isosceles]

∴ Δ ABD ≅ Δ ACD [RHS axiom]

∴ BD = CD [C.P.C.T]

∴ BD = CD = $\frac{\text{BC}}{2}$ = ${\frac{24}{2}}$ = 12 cm

By using the Pythagoras theorem in Δ ABD,

BD2 + AD2 = AB2

⇒ 122 + h2 = (h + 4)2

⇒ 144 + h2 = h2 + 42 + 2 x h x 4

⇒ 144 + $\cancel{h^2}$= $\cancel{h^2}$+ 16 + 8h

⇒ 144 - 16 = 8h

⇒ 128 = 8h

⇒ h = $\frac{128}{8}$

⇒ h = 16 cm

⇒ a = h + 4 = 16 + 4 = 20 cm

Perimeter of triangle = Sum of all sides

= AB + AC + BC

= (20 + 20 + 24) cm

= 64 cm

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 24 x 16

= 12 x 16

= 192 cm2

Hence, the perimeter is 64 cm and the area is 192 cm2.

Calculate the area and the height of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 60 cm.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Perimeter = 60 cm

Let a be the sides of equilateral triangle.

Perimeter = Sum of all sides

⇒ 60 = a + a + a

⇒ 60 = 3a

⇒ a = $\frac{60}{3}$

⇒ a = 20 cm

Area of equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times side^2$

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 20^2\\[1em] = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 400\\[1em] = 100 \sqrt{3} \\[1em] = 173.2 cm^2\end{aligned}$$

Height of equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times side$

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 20\\[1em] = 10 \sqrt{3}\\[1em] = 17.32 cm\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the area is 173.2 cm2 and the height is 17.32 cm.

In triangle ABC; angle A = 90°, side AB = x cm, AC = (x + 5) cm and area = 150 cm<sup>2</sup>. Find the sides of the triangle. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Given:

Area = 150 cm2

Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times$ base $\times$ height

$$\begin{aligned}⇒ 150 = \frac{1}{2} \times x \times (x + 5)\\[1em] ⇒ 150 \times 2 = x^2 + 5x\\[1em] ⇒ 300 = x^2 + 5x\\[1em] ⇒ x^2 + 5x - 300 = 0\\[1em] ⇒ x^2 + 20x - 15x - 300 = 0\\[1em] ⇒ x(x + 20) - 15(x + 20) = 0\\[1em] ⇒ (x + 20)(x - 15) = 0\\[1em] ⇒ x = -20 \text{ or } 15\end{aligned}$$

Since length cannot be negative, AB = 15 cm.

Thus, AC = x + 5 = 15 + 5 cm = 20 cm

By using the Pythagoras theorem,

AB2 + AC2 = BC2

⇒ 152 + 202 = BC2

⇒ 225 + 400 = BC2

⇒ 625 = BC2

⇒ BC = $\sqrt{625}$

⇒ BC = 25

Hence, the sides of the triangle are 15 cm, 20 cm and 25 cm.

Let the two sides of the right-angled triangle be x cm and (x - 3) cm.

If the difference between the sides of a right angled triangle is 3 cm and its area is 54 cm2; find its perimeter. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

⇒ 54 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x BC x AB

⇒ 54 = $\frac{1}{2} \times$ (x - 3) $\times$ x

⇒ 54 $\times$ 2 = (x - 3) $\times$ x

⇒ 108 = x2 - 3x

⇒ x2 - 3x - 108 = 0

⇒ x2 - 12x + 9x - 108 = 0

⇒ x(x - 12) + 9(x - 12) = 0

⇒ (x - 12)(x + 9) = 0

⇒ x = 12 or -9

Since length cannot be negative, AB is 12 cm.

BC = (x - 3) cm = 12 - 3 cm = 9 cm

By using the Pythagoras theorem,

AB2 + BC2 = AC2

⇒ 122 + 92 = AC2

⇒ 144 + 81 = AC2

⇒ 225 = AC2

⇒ AC = $\sqrt{225}$

⇒ AC = 15

Perimeter of right angled triangle = AB + BC + AC

= 12 + 9 + 15 cm

= 36 cm

Hence, the perimeter of the triangle is 36 cm.

Find the area of a quadrilateral one of whose diagonals is 30 cm long and the perpendiculars from the other two vertices are 19 cm and 11 cm respectively. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

For Δ ABD,

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x BD x AM

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 30 x 19 cm2

= 15 x 19 cm2

= 285 cm2

For Δ CBD,

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x BD x CN

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 30 x 11 cm2

= 15 x 11 cm2

= 165 cm2

Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of Δ ABD + Area of Δ CBD

= 285 + 165 cm2

= 450 cm2

Hence, the area of quadrilateral is 450 cm2.

3Exercise 19(B)

Calculate the area of quadrilateral ABCD, in which ∠ABD = 90°, triangle BCD is an equilateral triangle of side 24 cm and AD = 26 cm.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

For Δ ABD,

By using the Pythagoras theorem,

Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2

Calculate the area of quadrilateral ABCD, in which ∠ABD = 90°, triangle BCD is an equilateral triangle of side 24 cm and AD = 26 cm. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

⇒ AB2 + BD2 = AD2

⇒ AB2 + (24)2 = (26)2

⇒ AB2 + 576 = 676

⇒ AB2 = 676 - 576

⇒ AB2 = 100

⇒ AB = $\sqrt{100}$

⇒ AB = 10 cm

Area of Δ ABD = $\frac{1}{2}$ x AB x BD

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 10 x 24 cm2

= 5 x 24 cm2

= 120 cm2

Area of equilateral triangle BCD = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$ x side2

= $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$ x 242

= $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$ x 576

= 144 ${\sqrt{3}}$ cm2

= 249.41 cm2

Total area of quadrilateral ABCD = Δ ABD + Δ BCD

= 120 + 249.41 cm2

= 369.41 cm2

Hence, the area of quadrilateral ABCD is 369.41 cm2.

Calculate the area of quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 32 cm, AD = 24 cm, ∠A = 90° and BC = CD = 52 cm. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Area of Δ DAB = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x DA x AB

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 24 x 32 cm2

= 12 x 32 cm2

= 384 cm2

By using the Pythagoras theorem,

AD2 + AB2 = BD2

⇒ 242 + 322 = BD2

⇒ 576 + 1,024 = BD2

⇒ 1,600 = BD2

⇒ BD = $\sqrt{1,600}$

⇒ BD = 40 cm

In triangle BCD,

Let the sides of the triangle be:

a = 40 cm, b = 52 cm and c = 52 cm.

The semi-perimeter s:

$$\begin{aligned}∵ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{40 + 52 + 52}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{144}{2}\\[1em] = 72\end{aligned}$$

∵ Area of Δ BCD = $\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

= $\sqrt{72(72 - 40)(72 - 52)(72 - 52)}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{72 \times 32 \times 20 \times 20}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{921,600}$ cm2

= 960 cm2

Therefore, area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of Δ DAB + Area of triangle BCD

= 384 + 960 cm2

= 1344 cm2

Hence, the area of quadrilateral ABCD is 1344 cm2.

The perimeter of a rectangular field is $\frac{3}{5}$ km. If the length of the field is twice its width; find the area of the rectangle in sq. metres.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Perimeter = $\frac{3}{5}$ km.

Length of the field = Twice its width.

Let a be the width of the field.

So, the length = 2a

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

$$\begin{aligned}⇒ \frac{3}{5} = 2(2a + a)\\[1em] ⇒ \frac{3}{5} = 2 \times 3a\\[1em] ⇒ \frac{3}{5} = 6a\\[1em] ⇒ a = \frac{3}{5 \times 6}\\[1em] ⇒ a = \frac{3}{30}\\[1em] ⇒ a = \frac{1}{10}\\[1em]\end{aligned}$$

Thus, width = $\frac{1}{10}$ km

= $\frac{1}{10} \times 1,000$ m

= 100 m

Length = 2a = 2 x 100 m

= 200 m

Area = length x width

= 200 x 100 m2

= 20,000 m2

Hence, the area of the rectangle is 20,000 m2.

A rectangular plot 85 m long and 60 m broad is to be covered with grass leaving 5 m all around. Find the area to be laid with grass. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

The length of the inner rectangular field = 85 m - 5 m - 5 m = 75 m

The breadth of the inner rectangular field = 60 m - 5 m - 5 m = 50 m

The area of a rectangle = length x breadth

⇒ Area of the inner field = 75 x 50 m2 = 3,750 m2

Hence, the area to be covered with grass is 3,750 m2.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the rectangle = 6 cm

Breadth of the rectangle = 4 cm

Area of the rectangle = length x breadth

= 6 x 4 cm2

= 24 cm2

Let h be the height of the triangle.

Base of the triangle = 6 cm

It is given that area of triangle is 3 times the area of the rectangle.

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

⇒ 3 x 24 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 6 x h

⇒ 3 x 24 = 3 x h

⇒ $\cancel{3}$ x 24 = $\cancel{3}$ x h

⇒ h = 24 cm

Hence, the height of the triangle is 24 cm.

How many tiles, each of area 400 cm2, will be needed to pave a footpath which is 2 m wide and surrounds a grass plot 25 m long and 13 m wide ? Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Area of footpath = Area of ABQP + Area of QNOR + Area of RCDS + Area of SHMP

= 2Area of ABQP + 2Area of QNOR

= 2(Area of ABQP + Area of QNOR)

Area of ABQP = l x b = AB x AP

= 25 x 2 m2

= 50 m2

Area of QNOR = l x b = DN x QN

= 17 x 2 m2

= 34 m2

Area of footpath = 2(50 + 34) m2

= 2 x 84 m2

= 168 m2

= 1680000 sq. cm

Total area = Number of tiles x Area covered by 1 tiles

⇒ 1680000 = Number of tiles x 400

⇒ Number of tiles = $\frac{1680000}{400}$

= 4200

Hence, the number of tiles = 4200.

Given:

Length of the garden = 120 m

Cost of fencing = 75 paise per metre = ₹ 0.75 per m

Total cost = ₹ 300

Total cost of fencing = Perimeter x Cost per metre

⇒ ₹ 300 = Perimeter x ₹ 0.75

⇒ Perimeter = $\frac{300}{0.75}$ m

⇒ Perimeter = $\frac{30000}{75}$ m

⇒ Perimeter = 400 m

The cost of enclosing a rectangular garden with a fence all round, at the rate of 75 paise per metre, is ₹ 300. If the length of the garden is 120 metres, find the area of the field in square metres. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Let b be the breadth of the garden.

Perimeter = 2(l + b)

⇒ 2(120 + b) = 400

⇒ 120 + b = $\frac{400}{2}$

⇒ 120 + b = 200

⇒ b = 200 - 120

⇒ b = 80 m

Area of the rectangular garden = Length x Breadth

= 120 x 80 m2

= 9600 m2

Hence, the area of the garden is 9600 sq. m.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length = x

Width = $\frac{4}{7}$ of the length = $\frac{4}{7} \times x$

Perimeter = $y$

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)

$$\begin{aligned}⇒ 2\Big(x + \frac{4}{7}x\Big) = y\\[1em] ⇒ 2\Big(\frac{7 + 4}{7}x\Big) = y\\[1em] ⇒ 2\Big(\frac{11}{7}x\Big) = y\\[1em] ⇒ \frac{22}{7}x = y\\[1em]\end{aligned}$$

The length when y = 4400 cm,

$$\begin{aligned}⇒ \frac{22}{7}x = 4400\\[1em] ⇒ x = \frac{4400 \times 7}{22}\\[1em] ⇒ x = \frac{30800}{22}\\[1em] ⇒ x = 1400 cm = 14 m\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the equation connecting x and y is $y = \frac{22}{7}x$ and the length of the room is 14 m.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given:

Breadth of the verandah = x

Length of the verandah = x + 3

It is also given that the numerical value of the area is equal to the numerical value of the perimeter.

⇒ l x b = 2(l + b)

⇒ x(x + 3) = 2(x + x + 3)

⇒ x2 + 3x = 2(2x + 3)

⇒ x2 + 3x = 4x + 6

⇒ x2 + 3x - 4x - 6 = 0

⇒ x2 - x - 6 = 0

Hence, the equation is x2 - x - 6.

(ii) From (i),

⇒ x2 - x - 6 = 0

⇒ x2 - 3x + 2x - 6 = 0

⇒ x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) = 0

⇒ (x - 3)(x + 2) = 0

⇒ x = 3 or - 2

Since breadth cannot be negative, x = 3 m.

Length = x + 3 = 3 + 3 m = 6 m

Hence, length = 6 m and breadth = 3 m.

Also, find the cost of carpeting the same hall if the carpet, 80 cm wide, is at ₹ 25 per metre. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Area = l x b

= 45 x 32 m2

= 1,440 m2

Cost per metre of carpet = ₹40

Width of the carpet = 1.20 m

Cost per square metre = $\frac{40}{1.20}$ = $\frac{400}{12}$ = ₹ 33.33

Total cost = Cost per square metre x area of hall

= 33.33 x 1440

Width of the carpet in metres: 80 cm = 0.8 m

Cost per metre of carpet = ₹25

Cost per square metre = $\frac{25}{0.8}$ = $\frac{250}{8}$ = ₹ 31.25

Total cost = Cost per square metre x area of hall

⇒ 2a2 = 225

⇒ a2 = $\frac{225}{2}$

⇒ a2 = 112.5

⇒ a = $\sqrt{112.5}$

⇒ a = 10.61 m

Area of square = side2

The shaded region of the given diagram represents the lawn in the form of a house. On the three sides of the lawn there are flower-beds having a uniform width of 2 m. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

New length of lawn = 30 - 2 - 2 m = 30 - 4 m = 26 m

New breadth of lawn = 12 - 2 m = 10 m

Hence, the length of lawn = 26 m and the breadth of lawn = 10 m.

(ii) Area of flowerbed = Area of AMPX + Area of XDCY + Area of NBYO

Area of AMPX = l x b = AM x MP

Further, if a carpet is laid on the floor so that a space of 1 m exists between its edges and the edges of the floor, what fraction of the floor is left uncovered.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Dimensions of the floor = 15 m x 8 m

Dimensions of the tile = 50 cm x 25 cm = 0.5 m x 0.25 m

Area of floor = l x b

= 120 m2

Area of tile = ltile x btile

= 0.5 x 0.25 m2

= 0.125 m2

Let n be the number of tiles.

Area of floor = Area of tile x Number of tiles

⇒ 120 = 0.125 x n

⇒ n = $\frac{120}{0.125}$

⇒ n = $\frac{120000}{125}$

⇒ n = 960

Now, a carpet is laid on the floor, leaving a space of 1 m between its edges and the edges of the floor.

A floor which measures 15 m x 8 m is to be laid with tiles measuring 50 cm x 25 cm. Find the number of tiles required. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Length of the carpet = 15 - 1 - 1 m = 13 m

Breadth of the carpet = 8 - 1 - 1 m = 6 m

Area of uncovered floor = Area of floor - Area of carpet

= 15 x 8 - 13 x 6 m2

= 120 - 78 m2

= 42 m2

Fraction of floor left uncovered = $\frac{42}{120}$ = $\frac{7}{20}$

Hence, the number of tiles needed is 960 and the fraction of the floor left uncovered is $\frac{7}{20}$.

Step 1 Finding the area of the parallelogram.

Length of one side of the parallelogram (longer side) = 24 cm

Length of the adjacent side (shorter side) = 18 cm

The distance between the longer sides = 12 cm

Area of parallelogram = base x height

= AB x DE

= 288 cm2

Two adjacent sides of parallelogram are 24 cm and 18 cm. If the distance between the longer sides is 12 cm; find the distance between the shorter sides. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Step 2 Finding the sides of the parallelogram.

Let a be the distance between the shorter sides.

Area = base x height

= BC x AF

= 18 x a

Since area of the parallelogram will be same, if we consider AB as the base or BC as the base.

⇒ AB x DE = BC x AF

⇒ 288 = 18 x a

a = 28 cm, b = 26 cm and c = 30 cm.

The semi-perimeter s:

$$\begin{aligned}∵ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{28 + 26 + 30}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{84}{2}\\[1em] = 42\end{aligned}$$

∵ Area of triangle = $\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

= $\sqrt{42(42 - 28)(42 - 26)(42 - 30)}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{42 \times 14 \times 16 \times 12}$ cm2

= $\sqrt{112,896}$ cm2

= 336 cm2

Area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x area of Δ ABD

= 2 x 336 cm2

= 672 cm2

Let h be the distance between the shorter sides.

Area of the parallelogram = base x height

⇒ 26 x h = 672

(i) Given:

Area of rhombus = 216 sq. cm

One diagonal = 24 cm

Let d be the other diagonal of rhombus.

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x product of diagonals

⇒ 216 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 24 x d

⇒ 216 = 12 x d

⇒ d = $\frac{216}{12}$

⇒ d = 18

Hence, the length of other diagonal is 18 cm.

(ii) The rhombus is shown in the figure below:

The area of a rhombus is 216 sq. cm. If its one diagonal is 24 cm; find : Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Diagonal AC = 24 cm

Then, OA = OC = $\frac{24}{2}$ = 12 cm

Diagonal BD = 18 cm

Then, OB = OD = $\frac{18}{2}$ = 9 cm

Since the diagonals of a rhombus bisect at 90°.

Applying pythagoras theorem in Δ AOB, we get:

AB2 = OA2 + OB2

⇒ AB2 = (12)2 + (9)2

⇒ AB2 = 144 + 81

⇒ AB2 = 225

⇒ AB = $\sqrt{225}$

⇒ AB = 15 cm

Hence, the length of each side of the rhombus is 15 cm.

(ii) its area.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given:

Perimeter of the rhombus = 52 cm

One diagonal BD = 24 cm

Let a be the length of a side of the rhombus.

Perimeter of a rhombus = 4 x Side

⇒ 4 x a = 52

⇒ a = $\frac{52}{4}$

⇒ a = 13 cm

The perimeter of a rhombus is 52 cm. If one diagonal is 24 cm; find : Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

BD = 24 cm

Then, OB = OD = $\frac{24}{2}$ = 12 cm

Since the diagonals of a rhombus bisect at 90°.

Applying pythagoras theorem in triangle AOB, we get:

AB2 = OA2 + OB2

⇒ (13)2 = OA2 + (12)2

⇒ 169 = OA2 + 144

⇒ OA2 = 169 - 144

⇒ OA2 = 25

⇒ OA = $\sqrt{25}$

⇒ OA = 5 cm

AC = 2 x OA = 2 x 5 cm = 10 cm

Hence, the length of the other diagonal is 10 cm.

(ii) Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ x product of diagonals

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 24 x 10 cm2

= 12 x 10 cm2

= 120 cm2

Hence, the area of the rhombus is 120 cm2.

The perimeter of a rhombus is 46 cm. If the height of the rhombus is 8 cm; find its area.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Perimeter of the rhombus = 46 cm

Height of the rhombus = 8 cm

Let a be the length of a side of the rhombus.

Perimeter = 4 x Side

⇒ 46 = 4 x a

⇒ a = $\frac{46}{4}$

⇒ a = 11.5 cm

Area = base x height

= 11.5 x 8 cm2

= 92 cm2

Hence, the area of the rhombus is 92 cm2.

Area of ABCDEF = Area of rectangle AGEF + Area of rectangle GHCD + Area of triangle HBC.

Area of rectangle AGEF = l x b = AF x EF

= 1.2 x 0.3 m2

= 0.36 m2

Area of rectangle GHCD = l x b = GH x HC

= 0.6 x 2 m2 (HC = AF + ED = 1.2 + 0.8 = 2 cm)

= 1.2 m2

Area of triangle HBC = $\frac{1}{2}$ x b x h = $\frac{1}{2}$ x HB x HC

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 0.9 x 2 m2 (HB = AB - AH = 1.8 - 0.9 = 0.9)

= 0.9 x 1 m2

= 0.9 m2

Now, area of ABCDEF = 0.36 m2 + 1.2 m2 + 0.9 m2

= 2.46 m2

Hence, the area of cross-section is 2.46 sq. m.

Area of figure ABCEF = Area of trapezium ABCF + Area of triangle CEF

Calculate the area of the figure given below which is not drawn to scale. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Area of triangle CEF = $\frac{1}{2}$ x b x h = $\frac{1}{2}$ x CF x DE

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 25 x 12 m2

= 25 x 6 m2

= 150 m2

In triangle BGC,

Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2

⇒ CG2 + BG2 = CB2

Let h be the length of BG.

⇒ 102 + h2 = 262 (∵CG = CF - GF = CF - BA = 25 - 15 = 10)

⇒ 100 + h2 = 676

⇒ h2 = 676 - 100

⇒ h2 = 576

⇒ h = $\sqrt{576}$

⇒ h = 24 cm

Area of trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ (sum of parallel sides) x distance between the parallel sides

= $\frac{1}{2}$ (AB + CF) x BG

= $\frac{1}{2}$ (15 + 25) x 24 m2

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 40 x 24 m2

= 20 x 24 m2

= 480 m2

So, total area of figure ABCEF = 150 + 480 m2

= 630 m2

Hence, the area is 630 m2.

Thus, area of figure ABCDE = 1250 + 3900 + 312.5 + 2062.5 m2

Let AB = BC = a cm and triangle ABC is a right triangle,

Using the Pythagoras theorem,

Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2

⇒ BC2 + AB2 = AC2

⇒ a2 + a2 = ($14\sqrt{2}$)2

⇒ 2a2 = 392

⇒ a2 = $\frac{392}{2}$

⇒ a2 = 196

⇒ a = $\sqrt{196}$

⇒ a = 14 cm

Thus, AB = BC = 14 cm.

The diameter of the semicircle is BC = 14 cm, so the radius r is:

r = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{14}{2}$ = 7 cm

= π(202 - 152) cm2

= π(400 - 225) cm2

= π x 175 cm2

= $\frac{22}{7}$ x 175 cm2

= 22 x 25 cm2

= 550 cm2

Hence, the area of ring shaped region is 550 cm2.

Let r be the radius of the circular park.

The circumference of a given circular park is 55 m. It is surrounded by a path of uniform width 3.5 m. Find the area of the path. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Circumference = 2πr

⇒ 2πr = 55

⇒ 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x r = 55

⇒ $\frac{44}{7}$ x r = 55

⇒ r = $\frac{7 \times 55}{44}$

⇒ r = $\frac{7 \times 5}{4}$

⇒ r = $\frac{35}{4}$

⇒ r = 8.75 m

Radius of outer park = radius of park + width of the path

= 8.75 + 3.5 m

= 12.25 m

Area of the path = Area of outer park - Area of circular park

= π (12.25)2 - π (8.75)2 m2

= 150.0625π - 76.5625π m2

= 73.5 π m2

= 73.5 x $\frac{22}{7}$ m2

= 10.5 x 22 m2

= 231 m2

Hence, the area of the path is 231 m2.

15Exercise 19(C)

There are two circular gardens A and B. The circumference of garden A is 1.760 km and the area of garden B is 25 times the area of garden A. Find the circumference of garden B.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let r be the radius of the circular garden A.

Circumference of garden A = 2πr

⇒ 2πr = 1.760 km

⇒ 2πr = 1760 m

⇒ 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x r = 1760 m

⇒ $\frac{44}{7}$ x r = 1760 m

⇒ r = $\frac{7 \times 1760}{44}$ m

⇒ r = 7 x 40 m

⇒ r = 280 m

Area of garden A = πr2

= π x (280)2

= 78400π

Let R be the radius of garden B.

It is given that the area of garden B is 25 times the area of garden A.

⇒ πR2 = 25 x πr2

⇒ πR2 = 25 x 78400π

⇒ $\cancel{π}$ R2 = 25 x 78400 $\cancel{π}$

⇒ R2 = 25 x 78400

⇒ R2 = 1960000

⇒ R = $\sqrt{1960000}$

⇒ R = 1400 m

Circumference of garden B = 2πR

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 1400 m

= 2 x 22 x 200 m

= 8800 m = 8.8 km

Hence, the circumference of garden B is 8.8 km.

A wheel has diameter 84 cm. Find how many complete revolutions must it make to cover 3.168 km.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Diameter of the wheel = 84 cm

Radius of the wheel = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{84}{2}$ = 42 cm

Circumference of the wheel = 2πr

$$\begin{aligned}= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 42\\[1em] = 2 \times 22 \times 6\\[1em] = 264 \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

Let the wheel make n revolutions.

Total distance traveled by the wheel = n x Circumference of the wheel

⇒ 3.168 km = n x 264 cm

⇒ 316,800 cm = n x 264 cm

⇒ n = $\frac{316,800}{264}$

⇒ n = 1200

Hence, the wheel makes 1,200 revolutions.

17Exercise 19(C)

Each wheel of a car is of diameter 80 cm. How many complete revolutions does each wheel make in 10 minutes when the car is travelling at a speed of 66 km per hour ?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Diameter of wheel = 80 cm

Radius of the wheel = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{80}{2}$ = 40 cm

Circumference of the wheel = 2πr

$$\begin{aligned}= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 40\\[1em] = \frac{1,760}{7} \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

Let the wheel make n number of revolutions.

Speed of the car = 66 km per hour

Time = 10 min

Total distance = Speed x Time

= $\frac{66 \times 100,000}{60}$ x 10 cm

= 11 x 100,000 cm

= 1,100,000

Total distance = Number of revolutions x Circumference of the wheel

⇒ 1,100,000 cm = n x $\frac{1,760}{7}$ cm

⇒ n = $\frac{1,100,000 x 7}{1,760}$

⇒ n = $\frac{7,700,000 }{1,760}$

⇒ n = 4,375

Hence, the wheel makes 4,375 complete revolutions.

Diameter of wheel = 42 cm

Radius of wheel = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{42}{2}$ = 21 cm

$$\begin{aligned}= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21\\[1em] = 2 \times 22 \times 3\\[1em] = 132 \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

Total distance covered by one wheel in 1 minute = Number of revolutions x Circumference of wheel

= 1,200 x 132 cm

= 158,400 cm

= 1.584 km

Speed of the train = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

= $\frac{1.584}{\frac{1}{60}}$

Length of the minute hand (radius of the circle) = 8 cm

Time interval between 9.05 a.m. and 8.30 a.m. = 35 minutes

Area swept by the minute hand in 1 hr = πr2

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{22}{7} \times 8^2\\[1em] = \frac{22}{7} \times 64\\[1em] = \frac{1,408}{7} \text{ cm}^2\end{aligned}$$

Area of the circle in 60 minutes = $\frac{1,408}{7}$ cm2

Area of the circle in 1 minute = $\frac{1,408}{7 \times 60}$ cm2

= $\frac{352}{105}$ cm2

Area of the circle in 35 minutes = $\frac{352 \times 35}{105}$ cm2

= $\frac{352}{3}$ cm2

= $117\frac{1}{3}$ cm2

Hence, the area swept by the minute hand between 8:30 a.m. and 9:05 a.m. is $117\frac{1}{3}$ cm2.

Area of shaded portion = π(R2 - r2)

= π(632 - 59.52) cm2

= π(3,969 - 3,540.25) cm2

= π x 428.75 cm2

= $\frac{22}{7}$ x 428.75 cm2

⇒ 64 + h2 = 100

⇒ h2 = 100 - 64

⇒ h2 = 36

⇒ h = ​$\sqrt{36}$

⇒ h = 6 cm.

By formula,

Given,

Sides of a triangular board are 8 cm, 6 cm and 10 cm.

⇒ 102 = 100, 82 = 64 and 62 = 36.

⇒ 100 = 64 + 36

⇒ 102 = 82 + 62

This confirms the triangle with sides 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm is a right triangle, where 10 cm is the hypotenuse.

Thus, sides of the triangle are 8 cm and 6 cm.

So, statement 2 is true.

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 8 x 6

Rate of painting = ₹ 10 per square cm

Cost of painting = Area x rate of painting

Statement 2: If the other diagonal of this rhombus = x cm, x = 102 - 62.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

The perimeter of a rhombus = 40 cm.

One diagonal = 12 cm.

As we know, the perimeter of the rhombus = 4 x side

⇒ 4 x side = 40 cm

⇒ side = $\frac{40}{4}$ cm

⇒ side = 10 cm

A rhombus shaped sheet with perimeter 40 cm has one diagonal 12 cm and the other diagonal is 16 cm. Area and Perimeter of Plane, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Let ABCD be a rhombus. From figure,

AB = 10 cm

Let diagonal AC = 12 cm

We know that,

Diagonals of rhombus bisect each other.

Then, OA = OC = $\frac{12}{2}$ = 6 cm

Let OB be a cm.

Since the diagonal of a rhombus bisect at 90°.

Applying pythagoras theorem in triangle AOB, we get:

⇒ AB2 = OA2 + OB2

⇒ (10)2 = (6)2 + a2

⇒ a2 = (10)2 - (6)2

⇒ a2 = 100 - 36

⇒ a2 = 64

⇒ a = $\sqrt{64}$

⇒ a = 8

So, OB = 8 cm

BD = 2 x OB = 2 x 8 cm = 16 cm.

∴ Statement 1 is true.

As solved above,

If the other diagonal of this rhombus = x cm,

Then $\frac{x}{2}$ will be equal to 102 - 62.

∴ Statement 2 is false.

∴ Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.

∠ BOC = ∠ COD = 45° (∵ AD divide ∠ BOC in 2 equal halves)

Let OB = OC = x.

In Δ BOC, by using the Pythagoras theorem,

⇒ 2x2 = 1,296

⇒ x2 = $\frac{1,296}{2}$

⇒ x2 = 648

A footpath of uniform width runs all around the outside of a rectangular field 30 m long and 24 m wide. If the path occupies an area of 360 m2, find its width. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

The length of the smaller rectangular field = 30 m - x m - x m

= 30 - 2x m

The breadth of the smaller rectangular field = 24 m - x m - x m

= 24 - 2x m

As we know, the area of a rectangle = length x breadth

⇒ Area of the larger rectangular field = 30 x 24 m2

= 720 m2

⇒ Area of the smaller rectangular field = (30 - 2x) x (24 - 2x) m2

= (720 - 108x - 4x2) m2

Area of the path = Area of larger rectangular field - Area of smaller rectangular field

⇒ 360 = 720 - (720 - 108x - 4x2)

⇒ 360 = 720 - 720 + 108x + 4x2

⇒ 4x2 + 108x - 360 = 0

⇒ x2 + 27x - 90 = 0

⇒ x2 + 30x - 3x - 90 = 0

⇒ x(x + 30) - 3(x + 30) = 0

Hence, the area of the equilateral triangle is 372.57 sq. m.

(ii) Given:

Length of the rectangle = 16 m

Let b be the breadth of the rectangle.

Perimeter of the rectangle = Perimeter of the square

For the trapezium given below; find its area. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

ABCD is an isosceles trapezium.

Let EF = FB = x cm

DC = EF = 18 cm

AB = AE + EF + FB

⇒ 30 = x + 18 + x

⇒ 30 = 2x + 18

⇒ 2x = 30 - 18

⇒ 2x = 12

⇒ x = $\frac{12}{2}$

⇒ x = 6 cm

As EDA is a right angled triangle, by using the Pythagoras theorem,

Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2

⇒ (6)2 + height2 = 122

⇒ 36 + height2 = 144

⇒ height2 = 144 - 36

⇒ height2 = 108 cm

⇒ height = $\sqrt{108}$ cm

⇒ height = 10.39 cm

Area of trapezium ABCD = $\frac{1}{2}$ x (sum of parallel sides) x height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x (18 + 30) x 10.39

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 48 x 10.39 sq. cm

= 24 x 10.39 sq. cm

= 249.41 sq. cm

Hence, the area of trapezium ABCD is 249.41 sq. cm.

The perimeter of a rectangular board is 70 cm. Taking its length as x cm, find its width in terms of x.

If the area of the rectangular board is 300 cm2; find its dimensions.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Perimeter of the rectangular board = 70 cm

Length = x cm

Let b be the width of the rectangular board.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)

⇒ 2(x + b) = 70

⇒ x + b = $\frac{70}{2}$

⇒ x + b = 35

⇒ b = 35 - x

Area = l x b

⇒ x $\times$ (35 - x) = 300

⇒ 35x - x2 = 300

⇒ 35x - x2 - 300 = 0

⇒ x2 - 35x + 300 = 0

⇒ x2 - 20x - 15x + 300 = 0

⇒ x(x - 20) - 15(x - 20) = 0

⇒ (x - 20)(x - 15) = 0

⇒ x = 20 or 15

Therefore, b = (35 - x)

b = 15 or 20

Hence, the width of rectangular board is (35 - x) and the dimensions of the board are 20 cm and 15 cm.

The area of a rectangle is 640 m2. Taking its length as x m; find, in terms of x, the width of the rectangle. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 104 m; find its dimensions.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Area of the rectangle = 640 m2

Length = x meters

Let b be the width of the rectangle.

Area of the rectangle = l x b

⇒ x × b = 640

⇒ b = $\frac{640}{x}$ m

By formula,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)

⇒ $2\Big(x + \frac{640}{x}\Big)$ = 104

⇒ $\Big(x + \frac{640}{x}\Big) = \frac{104}{2}$

⇒ $\Big(x + \frac{640}{x}\Big)$ = 52

⇒ x2 + 640 = 52x

⇒ x2 - 52x + 640 = 0

⇒ x2 - 32x - 20x + 640 = 0

⇒ x(x - 32) - 20(x - 32) = 0

⇒ (x - 20)(x - 32) = 0

⇒ x - 20 = 0 or x - 32 = 0

⇒ x = 20 m or x = 32 m.

Now,

⇒ b = $\frac{640}{x}$

Case 1 : x = 20 m

⇒ b = $\frac{640}{20}$ = 32 m.

Case 2 : x = 32 m

⇒ b = $\frac{640}{32}$ = 20 m.

Hence, the width of rectangle is $\frac{640}{x}$ and the dimensions of the rectangle are 20 m and 32 m.

The length of a rectangle is twice the side of a square and its width is 6 cm greater than the side of the square. If area of the rectangle is three times the area of the square; find the dimensions of each.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Let s be the side of the square.

Length of the rectangle = 2 x Side of the square

⇒ l = 2s

Width of the rectangle = Side of the square + 6

⇒ w = s + 6

Area of the rectangle = 3 x area of the square

⇒ l x w = 3s2

⇒ 2s x (s + 6) = 3s2

⇒ 2s2 + 12s = 3s2

⇒ 2s2 + 12s - 3s2 = 0

⇒ - s2 + 12s = 0

⇒ s2 - 12s = 0

⇒ s(s - 12) = 0

⇒ s = 0 or 12

Since the side cannot be zero, s = 12 cm.

The dimensions of the rectangle:

l = 2 x s = 2 x 12 cm = 24 cm

w = s + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18 cm

Hence, the length and width of the rectangle are 24 cm and 18 cm, and the side of the square is 12 cm.

Given:

$\frac{\text{Area of Δ ABP}}{\text{Area of trapezium APCD}} = \frac{1}{5}$

Area of Δ ABP = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

Area of trapezium APCD = $\frac{1}{2}$ x (sum of parallel sides) x height

Dimensions of the outer rectangle (including the boundary wall):

Length of the outer rectangle = (45 + 1 + 1) m = 47 m

Width of the outer rectangle = (30 + 1 + 1) m = 32 m

Perimeter of the outer rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

= 2(47 + 32)

= 2 x 79 = 158 m

Area of the inner surface of the boundary wall is the perimeter of the outer rectangle multiplied by the height of the wall.

Inner surface area of boundary wall = Perimeter of outer rectangle x height of wall

= 158 m x 2.4 m

= 379.2 m2

Hence, the area of the inner surface of the boundary wall is 379.2 m2.

A wire when bent in the form of a square encloses an area = 576 cm2. Find the largest area enclosed by the same wire when bent to form:

(i) an equilateral triangle.

(ii) a rectangle whose adjacent sides differ by 4 cm.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Area of the square = 576 cm2

Let a be the length of side of the square.

⇒ a2 = 576

⇒ a = $\sqrt{576}$

⇒ a = 24 cm

Total length of the wire = Perimeter of the square = 4 x 24 cm = 96 cm

Perimeter of the square = Perimeter of equilateral triangle.

⇒ 3 x side = 96 cm

⇒ side = $\frac{96}{3}$ cm

⇒ side = 32 cm

Area of equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$ x side2

= $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$ x (32)2 cm2

= $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$ x 1,024 cm2

= 256 $\sqrt{3}$ cm2

Hence, the area of equilateral triangle is 256 $\sqrt{3}$ cm2.

(ii) Given:

Let l be the length and b be the breadth of the rectangle.

l - b = 4 ...............(1)

Perimeter of rectangle = Perimeter of square

⇒ 2(l + b) = 96 cm

⇒ 2(l + b) = 96 cm

⇒ l + b = $\frac{96}{2}$ cm

⇒ l + b = 48 cm ...............(2)

Add equation (1) and (2), we get

⇒ (l - b) + (l + b) = 4 + 48

⇒ l - b + l + b = 52

⇒ 2l = 52

⇒ l = $\frac{52}{2}$

⇒ l = 26 cm

So, b = l - 4 = 26 - 4 = 22 cm

Area of rectangle = l x b

= 26 x 22 cm2

= 572 cm2

Hence, the area of rectangle is 572 cm2.

Given:

Area of the first parallelogram = y cm2

Height of the first parallelogram = h cm

Area of the first parallelogram = base x height

⇒ y = base x h

⇒ base of the first parallelogram = $\frac{y}{h}$ cm

The base of the second parallelogram = $\Big(\frac{y}{h} + x\Big)$ cm

Area of the second parallelogram = base x height

⇒ $2y = \Big(\frac{y}{h} + x\Big)$ x height

⇒ height = $\frac{2hy}{y + hx}$

Hence, the height of the second parallelogram is $\frac{2hy}{y + hx}$.

The distance between parallel sides of a trapezium, (i.e., height) = 15 cm

The length of the line segment joining the mid-points of its non-parallel sides, EF = 26 cm

Since EF is half of the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides.

EF = $\frac{1}{2}$ x (AD + BC)

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}$ x (AD + BC) = 26

⇒ AD + BC = 26 x 2 cm = 52 cm

Area of trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ x (Sum of parallel sides) x height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x (AD + BC) x height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 52 x 15

= 26 x 15

= 390 cm2

Hence, the area of the trapezium is 390 cm2.

Let l be the length and b be the breadth of the rectangular plot.

The diagonal of a rectangular plot is 34 m and its perimeter is 92 m. Find its area. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Perimeter = 2(l + b)

⇒ 2(l + b) = 92

⇒ l + b = $\frac{92}{2}$

⇒ l + b = 46

Squaring both side,

⇒ (l + b)2 = 462

⇒ l2 + b2 + 2lb = 2,116 ...............(1)

As all the angles of rectangle are 90°, we can use the Pythagoras theorem,

Base2 + Height2 = Hypotenuse2

⇒ l2 + b2 = 342

⇒ l2 + b2 = 1,156

Using equation (1), we get

⇒ 2,116 - 2lb = 1,156

⇒ 2,116 - 1,156 = 2lb

⇒ 960 = 2lb

⇒ lb = $\frac{960}{2}$

⇒ lb = 480

Hence, the area of the rectangular plot is 480 m2.

Given:

Rate of fencing = ₹ 240 per metre

Total cost = ₹ 52,800

Let r be the radius of the field.

Total cost = Circumference of field x Rate of fencing

$$\begin{aligned}⇒ 52,800 = 2πr \times 240\\[1em] ⇒ 2πr = \frac{52,800}{240}\\[1em] ⇒ 2πr = 220\\[1em] ⇒ 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 220\\[1em] ⇒ \frac{44}{7} \times r = 220\\[1em] ⇒ r = \frac{220 \times 7}{44}\\[1em] ⇒ r = \frac{5 \times 7}{1}\\[1em] ⇒ r = 35 \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

Rate of ploughing = ₹ 12.50 per m2

Total cost of ploughing = Area of the field x Rate of ploughing

= 3,850 x 12.50

= ₹ 48,125

Hence, the total cost of ploughing is ₹ 48,125.

Two circles touch each other externally. The sum of their areas is 58π cm<sup>2</sup> and the distance between their centres is 10 cm. Find the radii of the two circles. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Sum of the areas = 58π

⇒ A1 + A2 = 58π

⇒ πr12 + πr22 = 58π

⇒ π(r12 + r22) = 58π

⇒ $\cancel{π}$ (r12 + r22) = 58 $\cancel{π}$

⇒ r12 + r22 = 58 ...............(1)

Also, since the circles touch externally, the sum of their radii equals the distance between their centers.

r1 + r2 = 10

⇒ r1 = 10 - r2

Substituting the value of r1 in equation (1),

⇒ (10 - r2)2 + r22 = 58

⇒ 102 + r22 - 2 x 10 x r2 + r22 = 58

⇒ 100 + 2r22 - 20r2 = 58

⇒ 100 + 2r22 - 20r2 - 58 = 0

⇒ 2r22 - 20r2 - 42 = 0

⇒ r22 - 10r2 - 21 = 0

⇒ r22 - 3r2 - 7r2 - 21 = 0

⇒ r2(r2 - 3) - 7(r2 - 3) = 0

⇒ (r2 - 3)(r2 - 7) = 0

⇒ r2 = 3 cm or 7 cm

Using equation (1), we find r1:

If r2 = 3, then r1 = 10 - 3 = 7 cm

If r2 = 7, then r1 = 10 - 7 = 3 cm

Hence, the radii of the two circles are 7 cm and 3 cm.

Let the sides of triangle be 12a, 5a and 13a.

Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of sides of the triangle

⇒ 12a + 5a + 13a = 450

⇒ 30a = 450

⇒ a = $\frac{450}{30}$

⇒ a = 15

Thus, sides are 12 x 15, 5 x 15 and 13 x 15 m

= 180 m, 75 m and 195 m

The sides of the triangle are:

a = 180 m, b = 75 m and c = 195 m.

∵ Area of triangle = $\sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)}$

= $\sqrt{225(225 - 180)(225 - 75)(225 - 195)}$ m2

= $\sqrt{225 \times 45 \times 150 \times 30}$ m2

Area of triangle = Area of parallelogram

(∵ Area of parallelogram = base x height)

⇒ b2 + 16b - 12b - 192 = 0

⇒ b(b + 16) - 12(b + 16) = 0

⇒ (b + 16)(b - 12) = 0

⇒ b = - 16 or 12

Since the side of a square cannot be negative, b = 12 cm.

So, a = 4 + b = 16 cm

Hence, the sides of the squares are 16 cm and 12 cm.

Diagonal of the square = 24 cm

Let a be the side of square.

Find the area and the perimeter of a square with diagonal 24 cm. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

By using the Pythagoras theorem,

AB2 + BC2 = AC2

⇒ a2 + a2 = (24)2

⇒ 2a2 = 576

⇒ a2 = $\frac{576}{2}$

⇒ a2 = 288

⇒ a = $\sqrt{288}$

⇒ a = 12 $\sqrt{2}$

⇒ a = 12 x 1.41 = 16.92 cm

Area of the square = side2

= ($\sqrt{288}$)2 cm2

= 288 cm2

Perimeter of the square = 4 x side

= 4 x 16.92 cm

= 67.68 cm

Hence, the area of the square is 288 cm2 and the perimeter is 67.68 cm.

A steel wire, when bent in the form of a square, encloses an area of 121 cm2. The same wire is bent in the form of a circle. Find area of the circle.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Area of the square = 121 cm2

Let s be the side of the square.

As we know, the area of the square = side2

⇒ s2 = 121

⇒ s = $\sqrt{121}$

⇒ s = 11

Total length of the wire = Perimeter of the square

As we know, the perimeter of the square = 4 x side

= 4 x 11

= 44 cm

Perimeter of the square = Circumference of the circle

Let r be the radius of the circle.

⇒ 2πr = 44

$$\begin{aligned}⇒ 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 44\\[1em] ⇒ \frac{44}{7} \times r = 44\\[1em] ⇒ r = \frac{7 \times 44}{44}\\[1em] ⇒ r = \frac{308}{44}\\[1em] ⇒ r = 7\end{aligned}$$

Area of the circle = πr2

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2\\[1em] = \frac{22}{7} \times 49\\[1em] = \frac{1,078}{7}\\[1em] = 154\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the area of the circle is 154 cm2.

The perimeter of a semicircular plate is 108 cm, find its area.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Perimeter of the semicircular plate = 108 cm

Let r be the radius of the plate.

The perimeter of the semicircular plate includes the curved part (half the circumference of a circle) and the diameter. So,

⇒ πr + 2r = Perimeter

⇒ πr + 2r = 108

⇒ r(π + 2) = 108

⇒ r $\Big(\frac{22}{7} + 2\Big)$ = 108

⇒ r $\Big(\frac{22}{7} + \frac{14}{7}\Big)$ = 108

⇒ r $\Big(\frac{22 + 14}{7} \Big)$ = 108

⇒ r $\Big(\frac{36}{7}\Big)$ = 108

⇒ r = $\Big(\frac{7 \times 108}{36}\Big)$

⇒ r = 7 x 3 = 21 cm

Area of semicircular plate = $\frac{1}{2}$ πr2

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21^2\\[1em] = \frac{22}{14} \times 441\\[1em] = \frac{9,702}{14} \\[1em] = 693 \text{ cm}^2\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the area of the semicircular plate is 693 cm2.

The distance between their centres = 14 cm

Let $r_1$ and $r_2$ be the radii of 2 circles.

Two circles touch externally. The sum of their areas is 130π sq. cm and the distance between their centres is 14 cm. Find the radii of the circles. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Area of the first circle + Area of the second circle = 130π

⇒ A1 + A2 = 130π

⇒ πr12 + πr22 = 130π

⇒ π(r12 + r22) = 130π

⇒ $\cancel{π}$ (r12 + r22) = 130 $\cancel{π}$

⇒ r12 + r22 = 130 ...............(1)

Also, since the circles touch externally, the sum of their radii equals the distance between their centers.

r1 + r2 = 14

⇒ r1 = 14 - r2

Putting the value of r1 in equation (1),

⇒ (14 - r2)2 + r22 = 130

⇒ 142 + r22 - 2 x 14 x r2 + r22 = 130

⇒ 196 + 2r22 - 28r2 = 130

⇒ 196 + 2r22 - 28r2 - 130 = 0

⇒ 2r22 - 28r2 + 66 = 0

⇒ r22 - 14r2 + 33 = 0

⇒ r22 - 11r2 - 3r2 + 33 = 0

⇒ r2(r2 - 11) - 3(r2 - 11) = 0

⇒ (r2 - 11)(r2 - 3) = 0

⇒ r2 = 11 cm or 3 cm

Using equation (1), we find r1:

If r2 = 11, then r1 = 14 - 11 = 3cm

If r2 = 3, then r1 = 14 - 3 = 11cm

Hence, the radii of the two circles are 11 cm and 3 cm.

The diameters of the front and the rear wheels of a tractor are 63 cm and 1.54 m respectively. The rear wheel is rotating at $24\frac{6}{11}$ revolutions per minute. Find :

(i) the revolutions per minute made by the front wheel.

(ii) the distance travelled by the tractor in 40 minutes.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given:

Diameter of the rear wheel = 1.54 m

Diameter of the front wheel = 0.63 m

Radius of the rear wheel = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{1.54}{2}$ = 0.77 m

Radius of the front wheel = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{0.63}{2}$ = 0.315 m

Distance travelled by the tractor in 1 revolution of the rear wheel = Circumference of the rear wheel

= 2πr

$$\begin{aligned}= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.77\\[1em] = \frac{44}{7} \times 0.77\\[1em] = 44 \times 0.11\\[1em] = 4.84 \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

The number of revolutions per minute for the rear wheel is = $24\frac{6}{11}$ = $\frac{270}{11}$

So, the distance traveled by the rear wheel in one minute is = 4.84 x $\frac{270}{11}$

= 0.44 x 270

= 118.8 m

Let x be the number of revolutions made by the front wheel.

The total distance travelled by tractor in 1 min = Number of revolutions made by the front wheel in 1 min x Circumference of wheel

$$\begin{aligned}⇒ x \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.315 = 118.8\\[1em] ⇒ x \times 44 \times 0.045 = 118.8\\[1em] ⇒ x \times 1.98 = 118.8\\[1em] ⇒ x = \frac{118.8}{1.98}\\[1em] ⇒ x = 60\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the number of revolutions made by the front wheel is 60.

(ii) Distance travelled by the tractor in 40 minutes = Number of revolutions made by the rear wheel in 40 min x Circumference of the rear wheel

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{270}{11} \times 40 \times 4.84 \\[1em] = 270 \times 40 \times 0.44 \\[1em] = 4,752 \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the distance travelled by the tractor in 40 minutes is 4,752 m = 4.752 km.

⇒ A1 + A2 = 74π

⇒ πr12 + πr22 = 74π

⇒ π(r12 + r22) = 74π

⇒ $\cancel{π}$ (r12 + r22) = 74 $\cancel{π}$

⇒ r12 + r22 = 74 ...............(1)

And, r1 + r2 = 12

⇒ r1 = 12 - r2

Putting the value of r1 in equation (1),

⇒ (12 - r2)2 + r22 = 74

⇒ 122 + r22 - 2 x 12 x r2 + r22 = 74

⇒ 144 + 2r22 - 24r2 = 74

⇒ 144 + 2r22 - 24r2 - 74 = 0

⇒ 2r22 - 24r2 + 70 = 0

⇒ r22 - 12r2 + 35 = 0

⇒ r22 - 7r2 - 5r2 + 35 = 0

⇒ r2(r2 - 7) - 5(r2 - 7) = 0

⇒ (r2 - 7)(r2 - 5) = 0

⇒ r2 = 7 cm or 5 cm

⇒ r1 = 12 - r2 = 12 - 7 or 12 - 5 = 5 cm or 7 cm

Hence, the radius of 2 circles = 7 cm and 5 cm.

If a square is inscribed in a circle, find the ratio of the areas of the circle and the square.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let a be the side of the square.

If a square is inscribed in a circle, find the ratio of the areas of the circle and the square. Area and Perimeter of Plane Figures, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

By using the Pythagoras theorem,

AB2 + BC2 = AC2

⇒ a2 + a2 = AC2

⇒ AC2 = 2a2

⇒ AC = a $\sqrt{2}$

Diagonal of the square = Diameter of the circle

d = a $\sqrt{2}$

Radius, r = $\frac{d}{2}$ = $\frac{a \sqrt{2}}{2}$

Now, the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square is:

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{\text{Area of circle}}{\text{Area of square}}\\[1em] = \frac{πr^2}{\text{side}^2}\\[1em] = \frac{π \times \Big(\frac{a \sqrt{2}}{2}\Big)^2}{a^2}\\[1em] = \frac{π \times a^2 \times 2}{4a^2}\\[1em] = \frac{π \times a^2}{2a^2}\\[1em] = \frac{π}{2}\\[1em] = \frac{22}{14}\\[1em] = \frac{11}{7}\\[1em]\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square is 11 : 7.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given,

Radius of circle C1 = 6 cm.

Radius of circle C2 = 2 × 6 = 12 cm.

Circumference of circle = 2πr

= 2π × 12

= 24π cm.

Hence, Option (b) is the correct option.

(ii) Given,

Radius of circle C1 = 6 cm.

Radius of circle C2 = 2 × 6 = 12 cm.

Radius of circle C3 = 2.5 × 6 = 15 cm.

Radius of circle C4 = 3.5 × 6 = 21 cm.

Area of ring = π(R2 - r2)

Calculating the area between C1 and C2,

Area = π(122 - 62)

= π(144 - 36)

= 108π cm2.

Calculating the area between C3 and C4,

Area = π(212 - 152)

= π(441 - 225)

= 216π cm2.

Total area painted = 108π + 216π = 324π cm2.

Hence, Option (c) is the correct option.
