Exercise 12.1: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)

Question 1:
An isosceles right triangle has area 8 cm2. The length of its hypotenuse is
(a) √32 cm                       (b) √16 cm                      (c) √48 cm                    (d) √24
Solution:
(a) Given, area of an isosceles right triangle = 8 cm2
Area of an isosceles triangle = ½ (Base x Height)
=> 8 = ½ (Base x Base)
[∴ base = height, as triangle is an isosceles triangle]
=> (Base)2 =16 => Base= 4 cm
NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula img-1
In ΔABC, using Pythagoras theore
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 = 42 + 42 = 16 + 16
=> AC2 = 32 => AC = √32 cm
[taking positive square root because length is always positive]
Hence, the length of its hypotenuse is √32 cm.

Question 2:
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 60 m. The area is
(a)10√3 m2                    (b) 15√3 m2                   (c)20√3 m2                  (d) 100√3 m2
Thinking Process
(i) First, determine the side of an equilateral by usingformula, perimeter=3x.
(ii) Further, substitute the value of x in the formula, area of an equilateral triangle = √3/4 (a)2 and simplify it.
Solution:
(d) Let each side of an equilateral be x.
Then, perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 60 m
x + x + x = 60 => 3x = 60 => x = 60/3 = 20 m
Area of an equilateral triangle = √3/4 (Side)2 = (√3/4) x 20 x 20 = 100 √3 m2
Thus, the area of triangle is 100√3 m2.

Question 3:
The sides of a triangle are 56 cm, 60 cm and 52 cm long. Then, the area of the triangle is
(a) 1322 cm2               (b) 1311 cm2                       (c) 1344 cm2                               (d) 1392 cm2
Thinking Process
(i) First, determine the semi-perimeter of a triangle by using the formula, s = (a + b + c)/2
(ii) Further, determine the area of triangle by using the formula, area of triangle (Fieron’s formula) =

Question 4:
The area of an equilateral triangle with side 2√3 cm is
(a) 5.196 cm2                             (b) 0.866 cm2                     (c) 3.496 cm2                       (d) 1.732 cm2
Solution:
(a) Given, side of an equilateral triangle is 2√3 cm.
Area of an equilateral triangle = √3/4 (Side)2
= √3/4 (2√3)2 = (√3/4) x 4 x 3
= 3√3 = 3 x 1.732 = 5.196 cm2
Hence, the area of an equilateral triangle is 5.196 cm2.

Question 5:
The length of each side of an equilateral triangle having an area of 9√3 cm2 is
(a) 8 cm                (b) 36 cm                    (c) 4 cm                      (d) 6 cm
Solution:
(d) Given, area of an equilateral triangle = 9√3 cm2
∴ Area of an equilateral triangle = √3/4(Side)2
=> √3/4 (Side)2 = 9√3
=> (Side)2 = 36
∴ Side = 6 cm  [taking positive square root because side is always positive]
Hence, the length of an equilateral triangle is 6 cm.

Question 6:
If the area of an equilateral triangle is 16√3 cm2, then the perimeter of the triangle is
(a) 48 cm                  (b) 24 cm                    (c) 12 cm                   (d) 36 cm
Solution:
(b) Given, area of an equilateral triangle = 16√3 cm2
Area of an equilateral triangle = √3/4 (side)2
√3/4(Side)2 = 16√3 => (Side)2 = 64
=> Side =8 cm
[taking positive square root because side is always positive]
Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3 x Side= 3 x 8 = 24 cm
Hence, the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 24 cm.

Question 7:
The sides of a triangle are 35 cm, 54 cm and 61 cm, respectively. The length of its longest altitude
(a) 1675 cm                  (b) 1o75 cm                   (c) 2475 cm                    (d) 28 cm
Thinking Process
(i) First, determine the semi-perimeter, s and then determine the area of triangle by using Heron’s formula.
(ii) For the longest altitude, take base as the smallest side. Apply the formula,
Area = ½ x Base x Altitude
(iii) Equate the area obtained using the two formula’s and obtain the required height.

Exercise 12.2: Very Short Answer Type Questions

Write whether True or False and justify your answer
Question 1:
The area of a triangle with base 4 cm and height 6 cm is 24 cm2.
Solution:
False
We know that, area of a triangle=½ (Base x Height)
Here Base = 4 cm and Height = 6 cm
∴ Area of a triangle =½ x 4 x 6= 12 cm2

Question 2:
The area of a ΔABC is 8 cm2 in which AB = AC = 4 cm and ∠A = 90°.
Solution:
True
We have, ABC is a right angled triangle at A, where sides are given AB = AC = 4 cm
∴ Area of a triangle ABC = ½ (Base x Height) = ½ x AC x AB=½ x 4 x 4=8 cm2

Question 3:
The area of the isosceles triangle is (5/4) √11 cm2 if the perimeter is 11 cm and the base is 5 cm.
Solution:
NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula img-10

Question 4:
The area of the equilateral triangle is 20 √3 cm2 whose each side is 8 cm.
Solution:
False
Given, side of an equilateral triangle be 8 cm.
Area of the equilateral triangle = √3/4 (Side)2
= (√3/4) x (8)2 = (64/4) √3 [∴ side = 8 cm]
= 16 √3 cm2

Question 5:
If the side of a rhombus is 10 cm and one diagonal is 16 cm, then area of the rhombus is 96 cm2.
Solution:
True
Given, side of a rhombus PQRS is 10 cm and one of the diagonal is 16 cm.
i.e., PQ = QR = RS =SP = 10 cm and PR = 16 cm
NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula img-11
In ΔPOQ, PQ2 = OP2 + OQ2 [by Pythagoras theorem]
[ since, the diagonal of rhombus bisects each other at 90°] => OQ2 = PQ2 – OP2 = (10)2 – (8)2
=> OQ2 =100 – 64 = 36
=> OQ = 6 cm
[taking positive square root because length is always positive] SQ =2 x OP = 2 x 6= 12 cm
Area of the rhombus = ½ (Product of diagonals)
= ½ (OS x PR) =½ x 12 x 16 = 96 cm2.

Question 6:
The base and the corresponding altitude of a parallelogram are 10 cm and 3.5 cm, respectively. The area of the parallelogram is 30 cm2.

Area of a parallelogram = Base x Altitude = 10 x 3.5 = 35 cm2.

Question 7:
The area of regular hexagon of side a is the sum of the areas of the five equilateral triangles with side a.
Solution:
False
We know that regular hexagon is divided into six equilateral triangles.
NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula img-12
Area of regular hexagon of side a = Sum of area of the six equilateral triangles.

=3 x 3 x 5 x 2 cm2
Area of parallelogram ABCD = 2 x 90
= 180 cm2 …(ii)
Let altitude of a parallelogram be h.
Also, area of parallelogram ABCD =Base x Altitude
=> 180 = DC x h [from Eq. (ii)]
=> 180 = 12 x h
∴ h = 180/12= 15 cm
Hence, the area of parallelogram is 180 cm2 and the length of altitude is 15 cm.

A rectangular plot is given for constructing a house having a measurement of 40 m long and 15 m in the front. According to the laws, a minimum of 3 m, wide space should be left in the front and back each and 2 m wide space on each of other sides. Find the largest area where house can be constructed.
Solution:
Let ABCD is a rectangular plot having a measurement of 40 m long and 15 m front.
NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 12 Heron’s Formula img-37
∴ Length of inner-rectangle, EF = 40 – 3 – 3 = 34 m and breadth of inner-rectangle, FG =15 – 2 – 2 = 11 m
∴ Another rectangle EFGH will be formed inside the rectangle ABCD
∴ Area of innerrectangle, EFGH = Length x Breadth
