Find the area of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 60 cm. (Using Heron's formula).
1.
For \(\Delta \)ABC
a = 4 cm, b = 5 cm, c = 3 cm
\(\because \) a2 + c2 = b2

\(\therefore \) \(\Delta \)ABC is right angled with \(\angle B=90°\).
\(\therefore \) Area of right triangle ABC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \)Base \(\times \) Height
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times 3\times 4=6\) cm2
For \(\Delta \)ACD
a = 4 cm, b = 5 cm, c = 5 cm
\(\therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } =\frac { 4+5+5 }{ 2 } =\frac { 14 }{ 2 } =7\) cm
\(\therefore \) Area of the ACD \(=\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 7(7-4)(7-5)(7-5) }\)
\( \\ =\sqrt { 7(3)(2)(22) }\)
\(=\ 2\sqrt { 21 } \) cm2
= 2\(\times \) 4.6 cm2 (approx.) =9.2 cm2 (approx.)
\(\therefore \) Area of the equilateral ABCD = Area of \(\Delta \) ABC+Area of \(\Delta \)ACD
= 6 cm2 + 9.2 cm2 = 15.2 cm2 (approx.)
2.
For \(\Delta \)ABC a = 30 m, b = 48 m, c = 30 m
\(\therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } =\frac { 30+48+30 }{ 2 } =\frac { 108 }{ 2 } =54\) m

\(\therefore \) Area of \(\Delta \)ABC = \(\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 54(54-30)(54-48)(54-30) } \)
\(\\ =\sqrt { 54(24)(6)(24) } \)
\(\\ =\sqrt { \left( 9\times 6 \right) (24)\left( 6 \right) \left( 24 \right) } \)
\(=3\times 6\times 24=432\) m2
\(\therefore \) Area of the rhombus = 2 area of \(\Delta \)ABC
\(=2\times 432=864\) m2.
Area of grass for 18 crows = 864 m2.
Area of grass for 1 cow = \(\frac { 864 }{ 18 } \) m2 = 48 m2.
3.
Let the given field be in the shape of a trapezium ABCD in which AB=25 m, CD= 10 m, BC = 13 m and AD = 14 m.
From D, draw DE 11 BC meeting AB at E. Also, draw DF \(\bot \) AB.
\(\therefore \) DE = BC =13 m
AE = AB - EB = AB - DC
= 25 - 10 = 15 m

For AED
a = 14 m, b = 13 m, c= 15 m
\(\therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } =\frac { 14+13+15 }{ 2 } =\frac { 42 }{ 2 } =21\) m
\(\therefore \) Area of the \(\Delta \)AED \(=\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 21(21-14)(21-13)(21-15) }\)
\( \\ =\sqrt { 21(7)(8)(6) } =\sqrt { \left( 7\times 3 \right) (7)\left( 4\times 2 \right) \left( 2\times 3 \right) } \)
\(=7\times 3\times 2\times 2=84\) m2
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \)AE\(\times \)DE = 84
\(\Rightarrow \ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times \)15\(\times \)DF = 84
\(\Rightarrow \) DF = \(\frac { 84\times 2 }{ 15 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \) DF= \(\frac { 56 }{ 5 } \) m = 11.2 m
\(\Rightarrow\) Height of the trapezium is 11.2 m.
\(\therefore \) Area of parallelogram EBCD = Base \(\times \) Height
= EB\(\times \) DF = 10 \(\times \)\(\frac { 56 }{ 5 } \) = 112 m2
\(\therefore \) Area of the field = Area of AED + Area of parallelogram EBCD = 84 m2 + 112 m2 = 196 m2.
4.
For one tile a = 9 cm, b = 28 cm, c = 35 cm
\(\therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } =\frac { 9+28+35 }{ 2 } =36\) cm
\(\therefore \) Area of one tile \(=\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 36(36-9)(36-28)(36-35) } \)
\(\\ =\sqrt { 36(27)(8)(1) } =\sqrt { 36\left( 9\times 3 \right) \left( 4\times 2 \right) } \)
\(=6\times 3\times 2\sqrt { 6 } =36\sqrt { 6 } \) cm2
\(\therefore \) Area of 16 tiles \(=36\sqrt { 6 } \times 16=576\sqrt { 6 } \)cm2
\(\therefore \) Cost of polishing the tiles at the rate of 50 p per cm2.
\(=576\sqrt { 6 } \times 50\) p = Rs. \(\frac { 576\sqrt { 6 } \times 50 }{ 100 } \)
= Rs. \(288\sqrt { 6 } \) = Rs. 705.60
5.
For one triangular piece = 20 cm, b = 50 cm, c = 50 cm
\(\therefore s=\frac { a+b+c }{ 2 } =\frac { 20+50+50 }{ 2 } =\frac { 120 }{ 2 } =60\) cm
\(\therefore \) Area of one triangle \(=\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 60(60-20)(60-50)(60-50) } \)
\(=\sqrt { (60)(40)(10)(10) } =200\sqrt { 6 } \) cm2
\(\therefore \) Area of 5 triangles of one colour \(=5(200\sqrt { 6 } )\) cm2 = 1000\(\sqrt { 6 } \) cm2
Hence, 1000\(\sqrt { 6 } \) cm2 cloth of each colour is required for the umbrella.
6.
a = 12 cm, b = 12 cm Perimeter = 30 cm

\(\Rightarrow \) a + b + c = 30
\(\Rightarrow \) 12 + 12 + c = 30
\(\Rightarrow \) 24 + c = 30
\(\Rightarrow \) c = 30 - 24
\(\Rightarrow \) c = 6 cm
\(s=\frac { 30 }{ 2 } \) cm = 15 cm
\(\therefore \) Area of the triangle \(=\sqrt { s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 15(15-12)(15-12)(15-6) } \)
\(=\sqrt { 15(3)(3)(9) } =9\sqrt { 15 } \) cm2.
7.
120 cm2
8.

864 cm2
10.
36000 cm2
11.
(a) 114.89 cm2
(b) \(40\sqrt { 3 } \)cm2
(c) \(24\sqrt { 3 } \)cm2
