FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS

1. Results on Triangles:
i. Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.
ii. The sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
iii. Pythagoras Theorem:

In a right-angled triangle, (Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Height)2.

iv. The line joining the mid-point of a side of a triangle to the positive vertex is called
the median.
v. The point where the three medians of a triangle meet, is called centroid. The centroid
divided each of the medians in the ratio 2 : 1.
vi. In an isosceles triangle, the altitude from the vertex bisects the base.
vii. The median of a triangle divides it into two triangles of the same area.
 viii. The area of the triangle formed by joining the mid-points of the sides of a given
triangle is one-fourth of the area of the given triangle.
2. Results on Quadrilaterals:
i. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
ii. Each diagonal of a parallelogram divides it into triangles of the same area.
iii. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect each other.
iv. The diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other at right angles.
v. The diagonals of a rhombus are unequal and bisect each other at right angles.
vi. A parallelogram and a rectangle on the same base and between the same parallels are
equal in area.
vii. Of all the parallelogram of given sides, the parallelogram which is a rectangle has the
greatest area.

1. The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling along
the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes, then the
area of the park (in sq. m) is:

A. 15360 B. 153600

C. 30720 D. 307200

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

12000
Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = x8
60
m = 1600 m.

Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.

Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.

Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.

Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m2.

2. An error 2% in excess is made while measuring the side of a square. The percentage of error in
the calculated area of the square is:

A. 2% B. 2.02%

C. 4% D. 4.04%

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D
 Explanation:

100 cm is read as 102 cm.

A1 = (100 x 100) cm2 and A2 (102 x 102) cm2.

(A2 - A1) = [(102)2 - (100)2]

= (102 + 100) x (102 - 100)

= 404 cm2.

404
Percentage error = x 100 = 4.04%

3. The ratio between the perimeter and the breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 1. If the area of the
rectangle is 216 sq. cm, what is the length of the rectangle?

A. 16 cm B. 18 cm

C. 24 cm D. Data inadequate

E. None of these

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

2(l + b) 5
=
b 1

2l + 2b = 5b

3b = 2l

2
b= l
3

Then, Area = 216 cm2

l x b = 216

2
lx l = 216
