B Correct answer
Explanation

The radius of circumcircle  of equilateral triangle is  $\dfrac 23h=1\h=\dfrac 32$

The side of equilateral triangle is given as $\dfrac{4h}{\sqrt 3} \\dfrac{4}{\sqrt 3}\times \dfrac 32=2\sqrt 3$ 
The area of triangle is given as $\dfrac {\sqrt 3}{4}(2\sqrt 3)^2=3\sqrt 3$

A square is inscribed in a circle of radius $7: cm$. Find area of the square.

  1. $98 \: cm^{2}$
  2. $97 \: cm^{2}$
  3. $91 \: cm^{2}$
  4. $90 \: cm^{2}$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Given,
Radius of the circle $=7:cm$
Let the side of the square be $a:cm$.
A square when inscribed in a circle then the diameter of the circle must be diagonal of the square.
Therefore,
Diagonal of square $=\sqrt {a^2+a^2}$
                                 $=a\sqrt 2$
Now,
Diameter of the circle $=2\times 7$
                                  $=14:cm$
$=>\sqrt 2 a=14$
$=>a=\dfrac{14}{\sqrt 2}$
$=>a=7\sqrt 2: cm$
Therefore,
Area of square $=a^2$
                       $=(7\sqrt 2 cm)^2$
                       $=(7\sqrt 2 cm)(7\sqrt 2 cm)$
                       $=98: cm^2$

The ratio of areas of square and circle is given n : 1 where n is a natural number. If the ratio of side of square and radius of circle is k :1, where k is a natural number, then n will be multiple of

  1. $77$
  2. $22$
  3. $154$
  4. Data insufficient

C Correct answer
Explanation

Let a be the side of the square & r be the radius of the circle, then $\dfrac {a^2}{\pi r^2}=n$
Now, $\dfrac {a}{r}=k$
$k=\dfrac {a}{r}=\sqrt {\dfrac {22\times n}{7}},n$ has to be multiple of $22\times 7=154$.

  1. 1260.82 $\displaystyle cm^{2}$
  2. 880.4 $\displaystyle cm^{2}$
  3. 630.4 $\displaystyle cm^{2}$
  4. None of these

B Correct answer
Explanation

Required area

If one side of a square is 2.4 m. Then what will be the area of the circle inscribed in the square?

  1. $1.44 \displaystyle\, m^{2} $
  2. $\displaystyle 1\frac{11}{25}\pi $ $\displaystyle m^{2} $
  3. $\displaystyle \frac{11}{25}\pi $ $\displaystyle m^{2} $
  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The radius of the circle inscribed in the square
of side 2.4m
$\displaystyle r=\dfrac{2.4}{4}m=1.2m$
$\displaystyle \therefore$ Area of the circle $\displaystyle =\pi r^{2}$ square units
$\displaystyle =\pi \times 1.2 m\times 1.2 m$
$\displaystyle =1.44 \pi m^{2}$

$\displaystyle =1\dfrac{11}{25}\pi m^{2}$
$\displaystyle \therefore $ The required area $\displaystyle =1\frac{11}{25}\pi m^{2}$

The sides of a triangle are $5$, $12$ and$ 13$ units. A rectangle of width $10$ units is constructed equal in area to the area of the triangle. Then the perimeter of the rectangle is 

  1. 30 units

  2. 26 units

  3. 13 units

  4. 15 units

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

By Pythagoras theorem, we find that the given triangle is a right angled triangle with $12$ as height and 5 as base. 
$\displaystyle \therefore $ Area of the triangle $\displaystyle =\frac{1}{2}\times12\times5sq. units$
= $30$ sq. units
$\displaystyle \therefore $ Area of the rectangle = $length \times breadth$ = $30$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow Length =\frac{30}{breadth}=\frac{30}{10}=3\, units$
$\displaystyle \therefore $ Perimeter of the rectangle  = $2 \times ( 10 + 3 ) $Units 
= $26$ units.
