• Question 1 of 5 1. Question The length of the base of a right-angled triangle is 40 cm and its hypotenuse is 41 cm long. What is its area and perimeter respectively? a) 85 and 170 b) 170 and 85 c) 180 and 90 d) 90 and 180 Correct Answer: C Explanation 9,40,41 is a triplet pair. Area of triangle = ½ bh = ½ 940 =180 Perimeter of triangle=9+40+41=90 Incorrect Answer: C Explanation 9,40,41 is a triplet pair. Area of triangle = ½ bh = ½ 940 =180 Perimeter of triangle=9+40+41=90

#### 1. Question

The length of the base of a right-angled triangle is 40 cm and its hypotenuse is 41 cm long. What is its area and perimeter respectively?

• a) 85 and 170

• b) 170 and 85

• c) 180 and 90

• d) 90 and 180

Explanation

9,40,41 is a triplet pair.

Area of triangle = ½ bh = ½ 940 =180

Perimeter of triangle=9+40+41=90

Explanation

9,40,41 is a triplet pair.

Area of triangle = ½ bh = ½ 940 =180

Perimeter of triangle=9+40+41=90

• Question 2 of 5 2. Question The lengths of three sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5. Among three sides, the difference between the largest side and the smallest side of this triangle is 3.6 cm. The area of this triangle is: a) 19.44 b) 32.4 c) 21.75 d) 15.64 Correct Answer: A Explanation Let the sides of a triangle are 3x, 4x and 5x respectively. (right angle triangle) 5x-3x = 3.6; x = 1.8 cm ; Area of triangle = ½ bh => ½ ×3x 4x =>6 1.81.8 =19.44 Incorrect Answer: A Explanation Let the sides of a triangle are 3x, 4x and 5x respectively. (right angle triangle) 5x-3x = 3.6; x = 1.8 cm ; Area of triangle = ½ bh => ½ ×3x 4x =>6 1.81.8 =19.44

#### 2. Question

The lengths of three sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5. Among three sides, the difference between the largest side and the smallest side of this triangle is 3.6 cm. The area of this triangle is:

Explanation

Let the sides of a triangle are 3x, 4x and 5x respectively. (right angle triangle)

5x-3x = 3.6;

x = 1.8 cm ;

Area of triangle = ½ bh => ½ ×3x *4x

=>6 1.81.8 =19.44

Explanation

Let the sides of a triangle are 3x, 4x and 5x respectively. (right angle triangle)

5x-3x = 3.6;

x = 1.8 cm ;

Area of triangle = ½ bh => ½ ×3x *4x

=>6 1.81.8 =19.44

• Question 3 of 5 3. Question One side of a rectangular field is 39cm and its diagonal is 89m. What is the area of the field? a) 2160 m2 b) 3120 m2 c) 3140 m2 d) 2100 m2 Correct Answer: B Explanation Breadth2 = Diagonal2 – Length2 =>892 – 392 =>6400 =>80 Required area = length Breadth =80 39 = 3120 Incorrect Answer: B Explanation Breadth2 = Diagonal2 – Length2 =>892 – 392 =>6400 =>80 Required area = length Breadth =80 39 = 3120

#### 3. Question

One side of a rectangular field is 39cm and its diagonal is 89m. What is the area of the field?

• a) 2160 m2

• b) 3120 m2

• c) 3140 m2

• d) 2100 m2

Explanation

Breadth2 = Diagonal2 – Length2

=>892 – 392

=>6400 =>80

Required area = length Breadth =80 39 = 3120

Explanation

Breadth2 = Diagonal2 – Length2

=>892 – 392

=>6400 =>80

Required area = length Breadth =80 39 = 3120

• Question 5 of 5 5. Question A solid metallic sphere of radius 10 cm is melted and recast into spheres of radius 2 cm each. How many such spheres can be made? a) 64 b) 216 c) 100 d) 125 Correct Answer: D Explanation Radius of big sphere = R = 10 cm Radius of small sphere = r = 2 cm Number of small sphere = N Volume of sphere = N × Volume of small sphere 4/3 π R3 = N 4/3 π r3 103 = N 23 N=1000/8 =125 Incorrect Answer: D Explanation Radius of big sphere = R = 10 cm Radius of small sphere = r = 2 cm Number of small sphere = N Volume of sphere = N × Volume of small sphere 4/3 π R3 = N 4/3 π r3 103 = N 23 N=1000/8 =125

#### 5. Question

A solid metallic sphere of radius 10 cm is melted and recast into spheres of radius 2 cm each. How many such spheres can be made?

Explanation

Radius of big sphere = R = 10 cm

Radius of small sphere = r = 2 cm

Number of small sphere = N

Volume of sphere = N × Volume of small sphere

4/3 π R3 = N * 4/3 π r3

103 = N *23

N=1000/8 =125

Explanation

Radius of big sphere = R = 10 cm

Radius of small sphere = r = 2 cm

Number of small sphere = N

Volume of sphere = N × Volume of small sphere

4/3 π R3 = N * 4/3 π r3

103 = N *23

N=1000/8 =125
