15.
Find the area of a right-angled \(\Delta \)ABC, right angled at B in which AB = 24 metre and BC = 10 metre.
1.
For triangle a = 15 cm, b = 14 cm, c = 13 cm
\( \therefore \ =\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } s=\frac { 15+14+13 }{ 2 } =21\)c m
\(\therefore \) Area = \(\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 21(21-15)(21-14)(12-13) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 21(6)(7)(8) } =84\) cm2
Let the height of the parallelogram be h cm.
Then, area of the parallelogram = Base \(\times \) Height = 15 \(\times \) h = 15 cm2
According to the question, Area of the parallelogram = Area of the triangle
\(\Rightarrow \) 15h = 84
\(\Rightarrow \) \(\frac { 84 }{ 15 } \) = 5.6 cm
Hence, the height of the parallelogram is 5.6 cm.
2.
For \(\Delta \) ABC
Area of right triangle ABC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) Base\(\times \) Height = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \) 9 \(\times \)40 = 180 m2

For \(\Delta \) ACD
a = 28cm, b = 41 m, c = 15 m
\( \therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } s=\frac { 28+41+15 }{ 2 } =\frac { 84 }{ 2 } \) = 42 m
\(\therefore \) Area of \(\Delta \)ACD = \(\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
= \(\sqrt { 42(42-28)(42-41)(42-15) } \)
=\(\sqrt { 42(14)(1)(27) } =\sqrt { (14\times 3)(14)(1)(9\times 3) } \)
=\(14\times 3\times 3=126\) m2
\(\therefore \) Area of the quadrilateral ABCD = Area of \(\Delta \) ABC +Area of \(\Delta \) ACD
= 180 m2 + 126 m2 = 306 m2
3.
For \(\Delta \)ABD
a = 13 cm, b = 14 cm, c = 15 cm

\(\therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } s=\frac { 13+14+15 }{ 2 } \) = 21 cm
\(\therefore \) Area = \(=\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 21(21-13)(21-14)(21-15) } \)
\(\sqrt { 21\times 8\times 7\times 6 } =84\) cm2
For\(\Delta \) BCD
1 = 9 cm, b = 12 cm, c = 15 cm
\( \therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } s=\frac { a+12+15 }{ 2 } \)=18 cm
\(\therefore \)Area \(=\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt {18(18-9)(18-12)(18-15) } \)
\(\sqrt { 18\times 9\times 6\times 3 } =54\) cm2
Now, area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of \(\Delta \)ABD + Area of \(\Delta \)BCD
= 84 cm2 + 54 cm2 = 138 cm2
4.
Let each of the equal sides of the rhombus be a cm.
Then, Perimeter = a + a + a + a = 4a m
According to the question, 4a = 200
\(\Rightarrow \) a= \(\frac { 200 }{ 4 } \) = 50 m

d1= 80 m
a2=\({ \left( \frac { { d }_{ 1 } }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }+{ \left( \frac { { d }_{ 2 } }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow \) (50)2 =( 40)2+\({ \left( \frac { { d }_{ 2 } }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow \) \({ \left( \frac { { d }_{ 2 } }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }\)= (50)2-(40)2 = 900= (30)2
\(\Rightarrow \) \(\frac { { d }_{ 2 } }{ 2 } \) = 30
\(\Rightarrow \) d2 = 60 m
\(\therefore \) Area of the rhombus = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) d1d2=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)\(\times \)80\(\times \)60 = 2400 m2
5.
For \(\Delta \) ABC
a = 34 cm, b = 42 cm, c = 20 cm

\(\therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } =\frac { 34+42+20 }{ 2 } =48\) cm
\(\therefore \) Area of \(\Delta \) ABC = \(\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 48(48-34)(48-42)(48-20) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 48(14)(6)(28) } =\quad 336\) cm2
\(\therefore \) Area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 area of triangle ABC
= 2\(\times \) 336 cm2 = 672 cm2
6.
For one black colour sheet a= 4 cm, b = 6 cm
\(\therefore \) Area \(=\frac { a }{ 4 } \sqrt { 4{ b }^{ 2 }-{ a }^{ 2 } } \) | Sheet is an isosceles triangle
\(=\frac { 4 }{ 4 } \sqrt { 4{ (6) }^{ 2 }-4^{ 2 } } \) \(=\sqrt { 128 } =8\sqrt { 2 } \) cm2
\(\therefore \) Area of 2 black colour sheets = 2\(\times 8\sqrt { 2 } \) = \( 16\sqrt { 2 } \) cm2
Similarly, area of 2 white colour sheets = \( 16\sqrt { 2 } \) cm2
\(\therefore \) Total area of black and white colour sheets = \( 16\sqrt { 2 } \) + \( 16\sqrt { 2 } \) = \( 32\sqrt { 2 } \) cm2
7.
For triangular park
\(\because \) 62 + 82 = 102
\(\therefore \) Angular between sides of length 6 m and 8 m = \(90°\)
\(\therefore \) Area of the triangular park = \(\frac { 6\times 8 }{ 2 } \) = 24 m2
Radius of circular area (r) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 2 } \) m = 1m
\(\therefore \) Circular area = \(\pi \)r2 = \(\pi \)(1)2=\(\pi \)=3.14 m2
\(\therefore \) Area used for growing roses = Area of the triangular part - Circular area
= 24 - 3.14 = 20.86 m2
8.
In right triangle PSQ, PQ\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)2 = PS2 + QS2 |By Pythagoras Theorem
= (12)2 + (16)2
= 144 + 256 =400
\(\Rightarrow \) PQ = \(\sqrt { 400 } \) = 20 cm
Now, for \(\Delta \)PQR
a = 20cm, b = 48cm, c = 52cm
\(\therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } =\frac { 20+48+52 }{ 2 } =60\) cm
\(\therefore \) Area of \(\Delta \)PQR \(=\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 60(60-20)(60-48)(60-52) }\)
\( \\ =\sqrt { (60)(40)(12)(8) } \)
\(=\sqrt { \left( 6\times 10 \right) \left( 4\times 10 \right) \left( 6\times 2 \right) \left( 8 \right) } \)
\(=6\times 10\times 8=480\) cm2
Area of \(\Delta \) PSQ = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)\(\times \)Base\(\times \)Altitude
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)\(\times \)16\(\times \)12=96 cm2
\(\therefore \) Area of the shaded portion =Area of \(\Delta \)PQR - Area of \(\Delta \)PSQ
= 480 - 96 = 384 cm2
9.
Let the sides forming the right angle be a cm and b cm. Then,
a + b + 10 = 24
\(\Rightarrow \) a + b = 14 ....(1)
Also, a2 + b2 = (10)2 |By Pythagoras Theorem
\(\Rightarrow \) a2 + b2 = 100 ...(2)
We know that (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
\(\Rightarrow \) (14)2 = 100+2ab
\(\Rightarrow \) 2ab = 96
\(\Rightarrow \) ab=48 ...(3)
Also, (a - b)2 = a2 + b2- 2ab
= 100 - 2\(\times \)48
= 100 - 96 = 4 | if a>b
\(\Rightarrow \) a- b = 2
Solving (1) and (4), we get a=8cm, b=6cm
\(\therefore \) Area = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)ab = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \).8.6 = 24 cm2
10.
a:b:c = 5:12:13
5+12+13 = 30
a+b+c = 300 cm
\(\therefore a=\frac { 5 }{ 30 } \times 300=50\) cm
\(b=\frac { 12 }{ 30 } \times 300=120\) cm
\(c=\frac { 13 }{ 30 } \times 300=130\)
\(\therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } =\frac { 50+120+130 }{ 2 } =150\) cm
\(\therefore \) Area of the triangular field \(=\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 150(150-50)(150-120)(150-130) } \)
\(\\ =\sqrt { 150\times 100\times 30\times 20 } \)
= 3000 cm2 ----(1)
Let the length of the perpendicular from the opposite vertex to the side whose length is 130 cm be h cm.Then,
Area of the triangular field \(=\frac { 130\times h }{ 2 } \) = 65h cm2 ...(2)
From (1) and (2)
65h = 3000
\(\Rightarrow h=\frac { 3000 }{ 65 } =\frac { 600 }{ 13 } \) cm = 46.15 cm
11.
Let the sides of the triangle be 13k, 14k, and 15k (in cm).Then,
Perimeter = a + b + c = 13K + 14k + 15k = 42k cm
According to the question, 42k = 84
\(\Rightarrow k=\frac { 84 }{ 42 } =2\)
\(\therefore \) Sides are 26 cm, 28 cm, and 30 cm.
\(\therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } =\frac { 26+28+30 }{ 2 } \)
= 42 cm
\(\therefore \) Area \(=\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 42(42-26)(42-28)(42-30) } \)
\(\\ =\sqrt { (42)(16)(14)(12) } \)
= 336 cm2
12.
Let the third side be x cm. Then, 12 + 12 + x = 30
24 + x = 30
x = 6 cm
So, a = 12 cm, b = 12 cms, c = 6 cm
\(\therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } =\frac { 12+12+6 }{ 2 } \)
= 15 cm
\(\therefore \) Area \(=\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 15(15-12)(15-12)(15-6) } \)
\(=9\sqrt { 15 } \) cm2
13.
Area = \(=\frac { a }{ 4 } \sqrt { 4{ b }^{ 2 }-{ a }^{ 2 } } \)
\(\Rightarrow 60=\frac { 24 }{ 4 } \sqrt { 4{ b }^{ 2 }-{ (24) }^{ 2 } } \)
\(\Rightarrow 10=\sqrt { 4{ b }^{ 2 }-576 } \)
\(\Rightarrow 100=4{ b }^{ 2 }-576\) | Squaring
\(\Rightarrow 4{ b }^{ 2 }=676\)
\(\\ \Rightarrow { b }^{ 2 }=\frac { 676 }{ 4 } =169\)
\(\Rightarrow b=\sqrt { 169 } \) = 13 cm
\(\therefore\) Perimeter = a + b + b
= 24 + 13 + 13 = 50 cm
14.
Let the side of the equilateral triangle be a cm.
Then it's area = \(\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 4 } \) a2 cm2
\(\frac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 4 } \) a2 = \(81\sqrt { 3 } \) \(\Rightarrow \) a2= 81\(\times \)4
\(\Rightarrow \) a = \(\sqrt { 81\times 4 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \) a = 9\(\times \)2 = 18 cm
\(\therefore \) Perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 31 = 3 \(\times \)18 = 54 cm
15.
Area of \(\Delta \)ABC = \(=\frac { AB\times BC }{ 2 } =\frac { 24\times 10 }{ 2 } \) = 120 m2.
