Plane Figures Question 2:
The cost of painting a rectangular wall at the rate of Rs.75/square metre is Rs.6825. The length of rectangular wall is equal to the length of a square wall whose area is 196 square metre. Find the breadth of the rectangular wall.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 2 Detailed Solution
Given:
Painting rate = Rs.75/m²
Total painting cost = Rs.6825
Area of square wall = 196 m²
Length of rectangular wall = side of square wall
Formula used:
Area = Total Cost / Rate
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
Side of square = √Area
Calculations:
Area of rectangular wall = 6825 / 75 = 91 m²
Side of square wall = √196 = 14 m ⇒ Length of rectangular wall = 14 m
Now, 14 × Breadth = 91
⇒ Breadth = 91 / 14 = 6.5 m
∴ The breadth of the rectangular wall is 6.5 metres.
Plane Figures Question 3:
Perimeter of a rectangular field is equal to the perimeter of a triangular field whose sides are in the ratio 3:2:4 respectively. lf area of rectangular field is 500 m2 and sides are in the ratio 5:4 respectively, then calculate the longer side of the triangular field.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 3 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
Let the sides of the rectangular field be 5x and 4x. The area of the rectangle is:
Area = 5x × 4x = 500
⇒ 20x² = 500
⇒ x² = 25
⇒ x = 5.
Thus, the length = 5x = 25 m, and the breadth = 4x = 20 m.
The perimeter of the rectangular field = 2 × (25 + 20) = 90 m.
The sides of the triangular field are in the ratio 3 : 2 : 4. Let the sides be 3y, 2y, and 4y.
The perimeter of the triangle is: 3y + 2y + 4y = 9y.
Since the perimeter is 90 m, we have: 9y = 90 ⇒ y = 10.
The longest side of the triangle is: 4y = 4 × 10 = 40 m.
∴ The longer side of the triangular field is 40 meters.
Plane Figures Question 4:
The parallel sides of a trapezium are 48 cm and 20 cm. Its non-parallel sides are 26 cm and 30 cm. What is the area (in cm²) of the trapezium ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given:
Parallel sides: a = 48 cm, b = 20 cm
Non-parallel sides: c = 26 cm, d = 30 cm
Formula used:
Area of trapezium = ½ × (a + b) × height (h)
Height (h) found using: h = √(c² - m²), where m = ((a - b)² + c² - d²) / (2 × (a - b))
Calculations:
a - b = 48 - 20 = 28
m = [28² + 26² - 30²] / (2 × 28)
m = (784 + 676 - 900) / 56 = (560) / 56 = 10
h = √(26² - 10²) = √(676 - 100) = √576 = 24 cm
Area = ½ × (48 + 20) × 24 = ½ × 68 × 24 = 34 × 24 = 816 cm²
∴ Area of the trapezium = 816 cm².
Plane Figures Question 5:
A circle is inscribed in a triangle with sides 28 cm, 45 cm and 53 cm. What is the area of the triangle excluding the area of the circle? (Use )
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 5 Detailed Solution
Given:
Triangle sides: a = 28 cm, b = 45 cm, c = 53 cm
π = 3.14
Formula used:
Area of triangle = √(s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)), where s = semi-perimeter = (a + b + c)/2
Area of circle = π × r2, where r = inradius = Area of triangle / s
Area excluding circle = Area of triangle - Area of circle
Calculations:
s = (28 + 45 + 53)/2
⇒ s = 63 cm
Area of triangle = √(s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c))
⇒ Area of triangle = √(63 × (63 - 28) × (63 - 45) × (63 - 53))
⇒ Area of triangle = √(63 × 35 × 18 × 10)
⇒ Area of triangle = √396900
⇒ Area of triangle = 630 cm2
Inradius (r) = Area of triangle / s
⇒ r = 630 / 63
⇒ r = 10 cm
Area of circle = π × r2
⇒ Area of circle = 3.14 × 102
⇒ Area of circle = 314 cm2
Area excluding circle = Area of triangle - Area of circle
⇒ Area excluding circle = 630 - 314
⇒ Area excluding circle = 316 cm2
∴ The correct answer is option (3).
Top Plane Figures MCQ Objective Questions
Six chords of equal lengths are drawn inside a semicircle of diameter 14√2 cm. Find the area of the shaded region?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 6 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Diameter of semicircle = 14√2 cm
Radius = 14√2/2 = 7√2 cm
Total no. of chords = 6
Concept:
Since the chords are equal in length, they will subtend equal angles at the centre. Calculate the area of one sector and subtract the area of the isosceles triangle formed by a chord and radius, then multiply the result by 6 to get the desired result.
Formula used:
Area of sector = (θ/360°) × πr2
Area of triangle = 1/2 × a × b × Sin θ
Calculation:
The angle subtended by each chord = 180°/no. of chord
⇒ 180°/6
⇒ 30°
Area of sector AOB = (30°/360°) × (22/7) × 7√2 × 7√2
⇒ (1/12) × 22 × 7 × 2
⇒ (77/3) cm2
Area of triangle AOB = 1/2 × a × b × Sin θ
⇒ 1/2 × 7√2 × 7√2 × Sin 30°
⇒ 1/2 × 7√2 × 7√2 × 1/2
⇒ 49/2 cm2
∴ Area of shaded region = 6 × (Area of sector AOB - Area of triangle AOB)
⇒ 6 × [(77/3) – (49/2)]
⇒ 6 × [(154 – 147)/6]
⇒ 7 cm2
∴ Area of shaded region is 7 cm2
There is a rectangular garden of 220 metres × 70 metres. A path of width 4 metres is built around the garden. What is the area of the path?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 7 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFormula used
Area = length × breath
Calculation
The garden EFGH is shown in the figure. Where EF = 220 meters & EH = 70 meters.
The width of the path is 4 meters.
Now the area of the path leaving the four colored corners
= [2 × (220 × 4)] + [2 × (70 × 4)]
= (1760 + 560) square meter
= 2320 square meters
Now, the area of 4 square colored corners:
4 × (4 × 4)
{∵ Side of each square = 4 meter}
= 64 square meter
The total area of the path = the area of the path leaving the four colored corners + square colored corners
⇒ Total area of the path = 2320 + 64 = 2384 square meter
∴ Option 4 is the correct answer.
The width of the path around a square field is 4.5 m and its area is 105.75 m2. Find the cost of fencing the field at the rate of Rs. 100 per meter.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 8 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
The width of the path around a square field = 4.5 m
The area of the path = 105.75 m2
Formula used:
The perimeter of a square = 4 × Side
The area of a square = (Side)2
Calculation:
Let, each side of the field = x
Then, each side with the path = x + 4.5 + 4.5 = x + 9
So, (x + 9)2 - x2 = 105.75
⇒ x2 + 18x + 81 - x2 = 105.75
⇒ 18x + 81 = 105.75
⇒ 18x = 105.75 - 81 = 24.75
⇒ x = 24.75/18 = 11/8
∴ Each side of the square field = 11/8 m
The perimterer = 4 × (11/8) = 11/2 m
So, the total cost of fencing = (11/2) × 100 = Rs. 550
∴ The cost of fencing of the field is Rs. 550
Shortcut TrickIn such types of questions,
Area of path outside the Square is,
⇒ (2a + 2w)2w = 105.75
here, a is a side of a square and w is width of a square
⇒ (2a + 9)9 = 105.75
⇒ 2a + 9 = 11.75
⇒ 2a = 2.75
Perimeter of a square = 4a
⇒ 2 × 2a = 2 × 2.75 = 5.50
costing of fencing = 5.50 × 100 = 550
∴ The cost of fencing of the field is Rs. 550

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 11 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
The side of the square = 22 cm
Formula used:
The perimeter of the square = 4 × a (Where a = Side of the square)
The circumference of the circle = 2 × π × r (Where r = The radius of the circle)
Calculation:
Let us assume the radius of the circle be r
⇒ The perimeter of the square = 4 × 22 = 88 cm
⇒ The circumference of the circle = 2 × π × r
⇒ 88 = 2 × (22/7) × r
⇒ \(r = {{88\ \times\ 7 }\over {22\ \times \ 2}}\)
⇒ r = 14 cm
∴ The required result will be 14 cm.
How many revolutions per minute a wheel of car will make to maintain the speed of 132 km per hour? If the radius of the wheel of car is 14 cm.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 12 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Radius of the wheel of car = 14 cm
Speed of car = 132 km/hr
Formula Used:
Circumference of the wheel = \(2\pi r\)
1 km = 1000 m
1m = 100 cm
1hr = 60 mins.
Calculation:
Distance covered by the wheel in one minute = \(\frac{132 \times 1000 \times 100}{60}\) = 220000 cm.
Circumference of the wheel = \(2\pi r\) = \(2\times \frac{22}{7} \times 14\) = 88 cm
∴ Distance covered by wheel in one revolution = 88 cm
∴ The number of revolutions in one minute = \(\frac{220000}{88}\) = 2500.
∴ Therefore the correct answer is 2500.
One side of a rhombus is 37 cm and its area is 840 cm2. Find the sum of the lengths of its diagonals.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 13 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFArea of rhombus = Product of both diagonals/ 2,
⇒ 840 = P × Q /2,
⇒ P × Q = 1680,
Using Pythagorean Theorem we get,
⇒ (P/2)2 + (Q/2)2 = 372
⇒ P2 + Q2 = 1369 ×
⇒ P2 + Q2 = 5476
Using perfect square formula we get,
⇒ (P + Q)2 = P2 + 2PQ + Q2
⇒ (P + Q)2 = 5476 + 2 × 1680
⇒ P + Q = 94
Hence option 4 is correct.
In a circle with centre O, chords PR and QS meet at the point T, when produced, and PQ is a diameter. If \(\angle\)ROS = 42º, then the measure of \(\angle\)PTQ is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 14 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
∠ROS = 42º
Concept used:
The sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°
Exterior angle = Sum of opposite interior angles
Angle made by an arc at the centre = 2 × Angle made by the same arc at any point on the circumference of the circle
Calculation:
Join RQ and RS
According to the concept,
∠RQS = ∠ROS/2
⇒ ∠RQS = 42°/2 = 21° .....(1)
Here, PQ is a diameter.
So, ∠PRQ = 90° [∵ Angle in the semicircle = 90°]
In ΔRQT, ∠PRQ is an exterior angle
So, ∠PRQ = ∠RTQ + ∠TQR
⇒ 90° = ∠RTQ + 21° [∵ ∠TQR = ∠RQS = 21°]
⇒ ∠RTQ = 90° - 21° = 69°
⇒ ∠PTQ = 69°
∴ The measure of ∠PTQ is 69°
AB is a diameter of a circle with center O. A tangent is drawn at point A. C is a point on the circle such that BC produced meets the tangent at P. If ∠APC = 62º, then find the measure of the minor arc AC(i.e.∠ ABC).
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Plane Figures Question 15 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
AB is a diameter of a circle with a center O
∠APC = 62º
Concept used:
The radius/diameter of a circle is always perpendicular to the tangent line.
Sum of all three angles of a triangle = 180°
Calculation:
Minor arc AC will create angle CBA
∠APC = 62º = ∠APB
∠BAP = 90° (diameter perpendicular to tangent)
In Δ APB,
∠APB + ∠BAP + ∠PBA = 180°
⇒ ∠PBA = 180° - (90° + 62°)
⇒ ∠PBA = 28°
∴ The measure of minor arc AC is 28°
Mistake PointsMeasure of the minor arc AC is asked,
∠ABC marks arc AC,
∴ ∠ABC is the correct angle to show a measure of arc AC
