V. Very Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
In a parallelogram ABCD, AB = 35 cm. and height is 12 cm. Corresponding to this side. BC = 25 cm. then find the corresponding height.
Solution:
Area of(RBSESolutions.com)parallelogram ABCD 35 x 12 = 25 x Height corresponding to BC
⇒ Height corresponding to side BC
= \(\frac { 35X12 }{ 25 }\)
= 16.8 cm

Question 2.
BC = 30 cm. in given figure. Calculate the area of ∆ABC.

Solution:
In ∆ ABD,
∵ ∠BAD = ∠ABD
∴BD = AD ….(1)
In ∆ ADC,
∵ ∠DAC = ∠DCA
∴ DC = AD
From (1) and (2)
BD = DC = AD
⇒ AD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) BC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 30 = 15 cm.
∴ Area of ∆ABC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x Base x Height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x BC x AD
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 30 x 15
= 225 cm²

Question 3.
In the given figure, ABCD is a trapezium shaped field. AB || DC, DC = 25 cm., CE = 12 cm. and EB = 10 cm. Find the area of quadrilateral.

Solution:
Area of trapezium ABCD = Area of rectangle AECD + Area of right angle triangle CEB
= 25 x 12 + \(\frac { 10X12 }{ 2 }\)
= 300 + 60
= 360 cm²

Question 4.
The perimeter of a rhombus is 52 cm. Distance between two parallel sides is 12 cm. Find the area of rhombus.
Solution:
Perimeter of rhombus = 52 cm.
∴ One side of rhombus = \(\frac { 52 }{ 4 }\) cm. = 13 cm.
Height of(RBSESolutions.com)rhombus = 12 cm.
∴ Area of rhombus = base x height
= 13 x 12
= 156 cm²

VI. Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Area of trapezium is 140 cm.² Its height is 10 cm. Difference between parallel sides is 4 cm. Find the lengths of both parallel sides.
Solution:
Let a cm. and b cm. be the lengths of parallel sides where a > b.
Area of trapezium = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (Sum of parallel sides) x height
⇒ 140 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)(a + b) 10
⇒ 140 x 2 = (a + b) 10
⇒ 280 = (a + b) 10
⇒ a + b = \(\frac { 280 }{ 10 }\)
⇒ a + b = 28 …(1)
Again, a – b = 4 …(2)
Adding (1) and (2)
2 a = 32
⇒ a = \(\frac { 32 }{ 2 }\) = 16 cm.
Putting a = 16 in (1)
16 + b = 28
⇒ b = 28 – 16
⇒ b = 12 cm.
Hence, the required lengths of parallel sides are 16 cm. and 13 cm. respectively.

Question 2.
A trapezium has area 60 m². Its parallel sides being 12 cm and 8 cm. Find its height
Solution:
Let the height of trapezium = h cm.
Then, Area of trapezium = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (sum of parallel sides) x height
or 60 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (12 + 8) x h
or h = \(\frac { 60X2 }{ 20 }\) = 6 cm.
Hence height = 6 cm.

Question 3.
In a given figure ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC and DA ⊥ AB. If AB = 13 cm., AD = 8 cm. and CD = 7 cm., then find area of trapezium.

Solution:
Area of trapezium = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (sum of parallel sides) x height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (7 + 13) x 8
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (7 + 13) x 8
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 20 x 8 = 80 square cm.

Question 4.
Polygon ABCDE is divided in different parts as shown in figure. If AD = 8 cm., AH = 6 cm., AG = 4 cm., AF = 3 cm. and BF = 2 cm., CH = 3 cm., EG = 2.5 cm. Then And the area of polygon.

Solution:
Area of polygon ABCDE = Area of right ∆AFB + Area of trapezium BFHC + Area of right ∆CHD + Area of right ∆EGD + Area of right ∆AGE

FH = AH – AF = 6 – 3 = 3 cm.
HD = AD – AH = 8 – 6 = 2 cm.
GD = AD – AG = 8 – 4 = 4 cm.
= 3 + 7.5+ 3 + 5 + 5
= 23.5 cm²

Question 5.
Find the area of polygon MNOPQR if MP = 9 cm., MD = 7 cm., MC = 6 cm., MB = 4 cm., MA = 2 cm., NA, OC, QD and RB are perpendiculars on diagonal MP.

Solution:
Area of polygon MNOPQR
= Area of ∆MAN + Area of trapezium ACON + Area of ∆OCP + Area of ∆QDP + Area of trapezium DBRQ + Area of ∆RBM

AC = MC – MA = 6 – 2 = 4 cm.
CP = MP – MC = 9 – 6 = 3 cm.
PD = MP – MD = 9 – 7 = 2 cm.
BD = MD – MB = 7 – 4 = 3 cm.
= 2.5 + 11 + 4.5 + 2 + 6.75 + 5
= 31.75 cm²

Question 6.
The transverse cut of a canal is trapezium shaped. Canal is 10 meter wide at top and 6 meter wide at bottom. The area of transverse cut is 72 meter². Then find its depth.
Solution
Area of trapezium = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (Sum of parallel sides) x height
⇒ 72 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (10 + 6) x height
⇒ 72 = 8 x height
⇒ height = \(\frac { 72 }{ 8 }\) = 9 meter
Hence, depth is 9 meter.

Question 7.
The diagonals of a rhombus are 15 cm. and 36 cm. Find its perimeter and area.
Solution

Area of rhombus
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x Product of diagonals
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 15 x 36
= 270 cm²
We know that(RBSESolutions.com)the diagonal of rhombus bisect each other at right angle.


∴ Perimeter of rhombus = 4 x AB
= 4 x 19.5
= 78 cm.

Question 8.
As shown in the given picture a farm is similar in the shape of polygon ABCDEF. All measurements are given in meters. Find the area of polygon ABCDEF.

Solution:
Area of polygon ABCDEF = Area of fig. 1 + Area of fig. 2 + Area of fig. 3 + Area of fig. 4 + Area of fig. 5

= 300 + 4400 + 1750 + 2600 + 2800
= 11850 square meter

Question 9.
Find the area of the field shown below. AH measurements are in meters.

Solution
Area of polygon ABCDEA = Area of ∆ADE + Area of ∆DFC + Area of trapezium ABCF

= 45 x 40 + 30 x 30 + 45 x 15
= 1800 + 900 + 675
= 3375 meters.

Question 10.
Area of a rhombus ABCD is 264 cm². If length of its one diagonal AC = 24 cm then find length of diagonal BD.
Solution
We know that,
Area of rhombus = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x product of diagonals
Given: Area of rhombus = 264 cm²,
diagonal AC = 24 cm
To find = diagonal BD ,
∴ 264 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 24 x BD
BD = \(\frac { 264X2 }{ 24 }\) = 22 cm.

Question 11.
The area of rhombus is 360 cm². One of its diagonal is 20 cm, then find the length of other diagonal.
Solution
Area of the rhombus = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x Product of the diagonals
⇒ 360 sq. cm. = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 20 cm, x other diagonal
⇒ other diagonal = \(\frac { 360X2 }{ 20 }\) cm
⇒ 18 x 2 cm.
⇒ other diagonal = 36 cm.

Question 12.
Find the area of the given figure (All measurements are in meters).

Solution:
Total area of figure = Area of ∆PEJ + area of trapezium PRIJ + area of ∆IRH + area of trapezium HGFQ + area of ∆QFE
Area of ∆PEJ = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x Base x Height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 10 x 20
= 100 m²
Area of trapezium JPRI,
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) (Sum of parallel sides) x (distance between parallel sides)
