Q.40) A trapezium with 3 equal sides and one side double the equal side can be divided into
__________ equilateral triangles of _______ area.
Sol.40) Let ABCD be a trapezium, in which
𝐴𝐷 = 𝐷𝐶 = 𝐵𝐶 = 𝑎 (say)

& 𝐴𝐵 = 2𝑎
Draw medians through the vertices D & C on the side AB.
𝐴𝐸 = 𝐸𝐵 = 𝑎
Now, in parallelogram ADCE, we have
𝐴𝐷 = 𝐸𝐶 = 𝑎 and 𝐴𝐸 = 𝐶𝐷 = 𝑎
In ∆𝐴𝐷𝐸 and ∆𝐷𝐸𝐶,
𝐴𝐷 = 𝐸𝐶
𝐴𝐸 = 𝐶𝐷
& 𝐷𝐸 = 𝐷𝐸
By SSS,
By triangle rule, ∆𝐴𝐷𝐸 ≅ ∆𝐷𝐸𝐶
om
Thus, ∆ 𝐴𝐷𝐸 and ∆𝐷𝐸𝐶 are equilateral triangles having equal sides.
Similarly, in parallelogram DEBC, we can show that ∆𝐷𝐸𝐶 ≅ ∆𝐸𝐶𝐵.

Hence, the trapezium can be dividend into 3 equilateral triangles of equal area.

Three cubes having side 𝑥 are joined face-to-face, then the cuboid so formed has the
same height and breadth as the cubes but its length will be thrice that of the cubes.
Hence, the length, breadth & height of the cuboid so formed are 3𝑥, 𝑥 & 𝑥 respectively.

Q.105) A swimming pool is 200 m by 50 m and has an average depth of 2 m. By the end of a

the day?
Sol.105) Dimensions of swimming pool are 200𝑚 × 50𝑚

At the end of summer day the water level drops by 2m.

Volume of water in swimming pool = L x b x h

Sol.109) External dimesnsions of a closed wooden box are in the ratio 5:4:3
Let the external dimensions of the closed wooden box be 5𝑥, 4𝑥 and 3𝑥.
The cost of painting = 𝑅𝑠. 5 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑚2
