Answers .....

1.(b) 
Area of a triangle = r * s
Where r is the in radius and s is the semi perimeter of the triangle
Area of triangle = 2.5 * 28/2 = 35


2.(d) 
Area of a parallelogram
= base * altitude = 12 * 8 = 96

3.PQRS is a rhombus
If s is the side, 4s = 68
s = 68/4 = 17 cm‘
Let the centre of the rhombus be 0.
OR= 30/2 =15,RS=17,
RS2 = OR2+ OS2 gives
OS2= 172 152=64, OS = 8 cm
The other diagonal QS = 2 * 8 = 16 cm

4.(b) 
Let 3x, 11x be the sides of the rectangle.
Area = 3x *11x = 33x2 = 132
X = 2
B = 3 * 2 = 6m, 1 = 11 * 2 = 22m
Perimeter= 2(22 + 6) = 56 cm

5.(b) 
Let x be the side of the square.
Area of the rectangle = (x + 1) (x – 1) = 63
x2 – 1 = 63
x2 = 63 + 1 = 64
x = 8cm
Perimeter of the original square
= 4 * 8 = 32 cm

6.(c) 
The hexagon can be divided into six equilateral triangles of equal areas.
Area of the hexagon = 6 × √3/4  ×4 ×4= 24√3

7.(b) 
The circumference of the circle is equal to the perimeter of the rectangle.
Let l = 6x and b = 5x
2(6x + 5x) = 2 * 22/7 * 3.5 = x = 1
L = 6 cm and b = 5 cm
Area of the rectangle = 6 * 5 = 30

8.(c) 
The area that can be grazed by the cow is in the form of three quadrants.
Total area that can be grazed
= ¾ × π(10)^2  75p m^2

9.(c) 
The base of the prism is ABC
Where BC = 25 cm and AB = 7 cm
AC2 = BC2 – AB2 = 252 – 72 = 576
AC    = √576  24 cm
Area of base = ½ * 24 * 7 = 84 cm2
Total surface area = (25 + 7 + 24) 5 + 2(84)
= 56 (5) + 168 = 448 cm2

10.(d)
