Question 1:

Find the area of a triangle whose base and altitude are 5 cm and 4 cm respectively.

Answer 1:

Given, base = 5 cm; height = 4 cm
Area of the triangle = 12×Base×Height


Question 2:

Find the area of a triangle whose sides are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm respectively.

Answer 2:

The area of a triangle having sides a, b, c and s as semi-perimeter is given by,

, where


Therefore the area of a triangle, say having sides 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm is given by

a = 3 cm ; b = 4 cm ; c = 5 cm


Now, area 
=6(6-3)(6-4)(6-5)=6×3×2×1=36=6 cm2

Question 3:

Find the area of an isosceles triangle having the base x cm and one side y cm.

Answer 3:

Let us assume triangle ABC be the given isosceles triangle having sides AB = AC and base BC. The area of a triangle ABC, say A having given sides AB and AC equals to cm and given base BC equals to x cm is given by

Where,

Base = BC = x cm; Height = y2-x24

A=12Base×Height=12×xy2-x24=x2y2-x24

Question 4:

Find the area of an equilateral triangle having each side 4 cm.

Answer 4:

Area of an equilateral triangle having each side a cm is given by 

Area of the given equilateral triangle having each equal side equal to 4 cm is given by

a = 4 cm

Question 5:

Find the area of an equilateral triangle having each side x cm.

Answer 5:

Area of an equilateral triangle, say A having each side a cm is given by 

Area of the given equilateral triangle having each equal side equal to x cm is given by

a = x cm

Question 6:

The perimeter of a triangullar field is 144 m and the ratio of the sides is 3 : 4 : 5. Find the area of the field.

Answer 6:

The area of a triangle having sides a, b, c and s as semi-perimeter is given by,

, where,

 

It is given the sides of a triangular field are in the ratio 3:4:5 and perimeter=144 m

Therefore, a: b: c = 3:4:5

We will assume the sides of triangular field as

 

Substituting the value of x in, we get sides of the triangle as

Area of a triangular field, say A having sides a, b , c and s as semi-perimeter is given by

Question 7:

Find the area of an equilateral triangle having altitude h cm.

Answer 7:

Altitude of a equilateral triangle, having side a is given by

Substituting the given value of altitude h cm, we get


 

Area of a equilateral triangle, say A having each side a cm is given by 

Area of the given equilateral triangle having each equal side equal to is given by; 

Question 8:

Let Δ be the area of a triangle. Find the area of a triangle whose each side is twice the side of the given triangle.

Answer 8:

We are given assumed value is the area of a given triangle ABC

We assume the sides of the given triangle ABC be a, b, c

The area of a triangle having sides a, b, c and s as semi-perimeter is given by,


Where,

We take the sides of a new triangle as 2a, 2b, 2c that is twice the sides of previous one

Now, the area of a triangle having sides 2a, 2b, and 2c and as semi-perimeter is given by,

, where

Now,

Question 9:

If each side of a triangle is doubled, the find percentage increase in its area.

Answer 9:

The area of a triangle having sides a, b, c and s as semi-perimeter is given by,

 

Where,

We take the sides of a new triangle as 2a, 2b, 2c that is twice the sides of previous one

Now, the area of a triangle having sides 2a, 2b, and 2c and as semi-perimeter is given by,

Where,

Now,

Therefore, increase in the area of the triangle

Percentage increase in area 

Question 10:

If each side of a equilateral triangle is tripled then what is the percentage increase in the area of the triangle?

Answer 10:

Area of an equilateral triangle having each side a cm is given by 

Now, Area of an equilateral triangle, say if each side is tripled is given by

a = 3a

Therefore, increase in area of triangle

Percentage increase in area
