HERON’S FORMULA
1) The difference between the semi perimeter and the sides of the triangle are 7
cm, 5 cm and 3 cm. The perimeter of the triangle is _____
a) 25 cm b)10 cm c)15 cm d)30 cm
Directions for question number 2: In the question number 2, statement of assertion
(A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Choose the correct option.
2) Assertion: the perimeter of triangle is 36 cm and its sides are in the ratio
a:b:c= 3: 4:5 then a= 9 cm, b=12cm, c=15cm
Reason: perimeter of triangle = sum of all side of triangle
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct
explanation of assertion (A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the
correct explanation of assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
3) A rhombus shaped sheet with perimeter 40 cm and one diagonal 12 cm, is
painted on both sides at the rate of Rs 5 per sq. m. Find the cost of painting.
( Rs. 960/-)
4) The sides of a triangular plot are in the ratio of 6 : 7 : 8 and its
perimeter is 420 m. Find its area. (2100√15 sq.m)
5) The difference between the sides containing a right angle in a right-angled
triangle is 14cm. The area of a triangle is 120 sq.cm. Calculate the perimeter
of a triangle. (60 cm)
6) If each side of a triangle is doubled, then find the ratio of area of the new
triangle thus formed and the given triangle. (4:1)
7) The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 cm. The ratio of the equal side to
its base is 3: 2. Find the area of the triangle. (32√2 sq.cm)
8) CASE STUDY BASED QUESTION
UFO’s are any unexplained moving object observed in the sky, especially
one assumed by some observers to be of extraterrestrial (coming from a
place outside the plane earth) origin. Rahul a student of class IX has an
interest in a Space Science. So, he makes a model of a triangular shape of
UFO which is shown in the below figure. The measurement of the sides of
UFO are in the ratio 5:5:8 and its perimeter is 180 cm respectively.
1) What is the measure of the sides of the triangular UFO?
2) Find the semi perimeter of the given UFO shape.
3) What is the area of the UFO?
4) Find the total cost to make the UFO, if the rate of the material is ₹ 800
per sq.cm
5) What is the altitude of the triangle with respect to its longest side?
