    AREA OF 2D SHAPES

    Area of Triangle:
    Question 1:
    Find the area of a triangle with base 10 units and height 8 units.

    Solution 1:
    The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = (base × height) / 2.
    Given base = 10 units and height = 8 units,
    Area = (10 × 8) / 2 = 40 square units.

    Question 2:
    The area of a triangle is 36 square units. The base of the triangle is 9 units. Find the
    height of the triangle.
    Solution 2:
    The formula for the area of a triangle is: Area = (base × height) / 2.
    Given the area is 36 square units and the base is 9 units:
    36 = (9 × height) / 2.
    Solving for height: height = (36 × 2) / 9 = 8 units.

    Question 3:
    A right-angled triangle has legs of length 5 cm and 12 cm. Find its area.

    Solution 3:
    The area of a right-angled triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = (base × height) /
    2.
    Given base = 5 cm and height = 12 cm,
    Area = (5 × 12) / 2 = 30 square cm.

    Question 4:
    In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is 10 cm long, and one of the legs is 6 cm.
    Calculate the area of the triangle.
    Solution 4:
    The area of a right-angled triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = (base × height) /
    2.
    Given the hypotenuse is 10 cm and one leg is 6 cm:
    Let the other leg be 'x' cm.
    Using the Pythagorean theorem: (hypotenuse)^2 = (side1)^2 + (side2)^2.
    10^2 = 6^2 + x^2.
    100 = 36 + x^2.
    x^2 = 100 - 36.
    x^2 = 64.
    x = √64.
    x = 8 cm.
    Now that we know both legs (6 cm and 8 cm), we can calculate the area:
    Area = (base × height) / 2 = (6 × 8) / 2 = 48 / 2 = 24 square cm.
    So, the area of the right-angled triangle is 24 square cm.

    Question 5:
    The area of a triangle is 63 square meters. One of the legs of the triangle is 14 meters,
    and the corresponding height to this leg is missing. Find the missing height.
    Solution 5:
    The formula for the area of a triangle is: Area = (base × height) / 2.
    Given the area is 63 square meters and one leg is 14 meters:
    63 = (14 × height) / 2.
    Solving for height: height = (63 × 2) / 14 = 9 meters.

    Area of Square:
    Question 1:
    Calculate the area of a square with side length 9 units.

    Solution 1:
    The area of a square is given by the formula: Area = side length × side length.
    Given side length = 9 units,
    Area = 9 × 9 = 81 square units.

    Question 2:
    The diagonal of a square is 12 cm. Find the area of the square.

    Solution 2:
    In a square, the diagonal divides the square into two 45-45-90 right-angled triangles.
    Using the Pythagorean theorem,
    (hypotenuse)^2 = (side1)^2 + (side2)^2
    (hypotenuse)^2 = 2(side)^2 ………. (sides are equal)
    (hypotenuse) = √2x(side) ………. (taking square root)
    (diagonal) = √2x(side) ……… (hypotenuse and diagonal are same)
    side length = diagonal / √2 = 12 / √2 = 6√2 cm.
    Area = side length × side length = (6√2)^2 = 72 square cm.

    Question 3:
    A square has a perimeter of 32 cm. Determine its area.

    Solution 3:
    In a square, all sides are equal, so each side length = Perimeter / 4 = 32 / 4 = 8 cm.
    Area = side length × side length = 8 × 8 = 64 square cm.

    Question 4:
    If the area of a square is 144 square meters, what is its side length?

    Solution 4:
    The area of a square is given by the formula: Area = side length × side length.
    Given area = 144 square meters,
    Side length = √(Area) = √144 = 12 meters.

    Question 5:
    A square has a diagonal of length 10 inches. Calculate its area.

    Solution 5: (For formula, refer to solution 2)


    In a square, the diagonal divides the square into two 45-45-90 right-angled triangles.
    Using the Pythagorean theorem, side length = diagonal / √2 = 10 / √2 = 5√2 inches.
    Area = side length × side length = (5√2)^2 = 50 square inches.

    Area of Rectangle:
    Question 1:
    Find the area of a rectangle with length 15 units and width 8 units.

    Solution 1:
    The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = length × width.
    Given length = 15 units and width = 8 units,
    Area = 15 × 8 = 120 square units.

    Question 2:
    The length of a rectangle is twice its width. If the perimeter is 60 cm, calculate the area of
    the rectangle.

    Solution 2:
    Let the width be w cm. So, length = 2w cm.
    Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(2w + w) = 6w.
    Given perimeter = 60 cm, then 6w = 60 cm, and w = 10 cm.
    Length = 2 × 10 = 20 cm.
    Area = length × width = 20 × 10 = 200 square cm.
    Question 3:
    A rectangle has an area of 48 square meters. If its length is 12 meters, calculate its width.

    Solution 3:
    The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = length × width.
    Given area = 48 square meters and length = 12 meters,
    Width = Area / length = 48 / 12 = 4 meters.

    Question 4:
    The area of a rectangle is 180 square inches, and its width is 10 inches. Find its length.

    Solution 4:
    The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = length × width.
    Given area = 180 square inches and width = 10 inches,
    Length = Area / width = 180 / 10 = 18 inches.

    Question 5:
    The length of a rectangle is 3 times its width. If the perimeter is 48 cm, calculate the area
    of the rectangle.

    Solution 5:
    Let the width be w cm. So, length = 3w cm.
    Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(3w + w) = 8w.
    Given perimeter = 48 cm, then 8w = 48 cm, and w = 6 cm.
    Length = 3 × 6 = 18 cm.
    Area = length × width = 18 × 6 = 108 square cm.

    Area of Circle:
    Question 1:
    Calculate the area of a circle with radius 5 units.
    Solution 1:
    The area of a circle is given by the formula: Area = π × radius^2.
    Given radius = 5 units,
    Area = π × (5)^2 = 25π square units.

    Question 2:
    A circular garden has a diameter of 14 meters. Find its area.

    Solution 2:
    Radius = Diameter / 2 = 14 / 2 = 7 meters.
    Area = π × (7)^2 = 49π square meters.

    Question 3:
    The area of the circle is 154 square centimeters. Calculate its radius.

    Solution 3:
    The area of a circle is given by the formula: Area = π × radius^2.
    Given area = 154 square centimeters,
    Radius = √(Area / π) = √(154 / π) ≈ 7 centimeters.

    Question 4:
    If the circumference of a circle is 36π cm, what is its area?

    Solution 4:
    Circumference = 2π × radius = 36π cm.
    Radius = 36π / (2π) = 18 cm.
    Area = π × (18)^2 = 324π square cm.
    Question 5:
    A circular pond has an area of 400π square feet. Determine its radius.

    Solution 5:
    The area of a circle is given by the formula: Area = π × radius^2.
    Given area = 400π square feet,
    Radius^2 = (Area / π) = (400 π/ π) = 400.
    Radius = √400 …… (square root)
    Radius = 20 cm
