Question 1.
We can make a rectangle using four equilateral triangles of the same size by cutting two of them along their heights and rearranging these pieces and the other two whole triangles:
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 1
If the sides of all equilateral triangles are 2 centimetres, what is the perimeter and area of the rectangle?
Answer:
If we consider the sides of the triangles, we will get it as follows:
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 2
So, the sides of the given rectangle are:
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 3
Now,
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
= 2(√3 + √3 + 2)
= 2(2√3 + 2)
= 4(√3 + 1)
= 4(1.732 + 1)
= 4 × 2.732
= 10.928 cm

Area of the rectangle = length × breadth
= 2√3 × 2
= 4√3 – 4 × 1.732
= 6.928 cm²

Question 2.
We can make a trapezium by cutting a square and an equilateral triangle with sides twice that of the square, and rearranging the pieces as below:
If the side of the square is 2 centimeters, what is the perimeter and area of the trapezium?
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 4
Answer:
Consider one part of the square. Its measures are:
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 5
Consider one part of the triangle. Its measures are:
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 6
Now, the measures of the trapezium are;
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 7
Perimeter of the trapezium = 2√2 + 2 + 2√3 + 2 + 2√2 + 2√3
= 4 + 4√2 + 4√3
= 4(1 + √2 + √3)
= 4(1 + 1.414+ 1.732)
= 4 × 4.146
= 16.584 cm

Area of the trapezium = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × sum of the lengths of the parallel sides x height
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (2 + 2√3 +2 + 2√3) × 2
= 4 + 4√3
= 4(1 + √3)
= 4(1 + 1.732)
= 4 × 2.732
= 10.928 cm²

Question 3.
The picture shows the figure formed by joining two squares
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 8
Calculate the length of the bottom side of this figure, correct to a centimetre.
Answer:
Side length of the big square = √27
= \(\sqrt{9 \times 3}\)
= √9 × √3
= 3 × √3
= 3 × 1.73
= 5.19 cm
Side length of the small square = √12
= \(\sqrt{4 \times 3}\)
= √4 × √3
= Side length of the big square + Side length of the small square
= 5.19 + 3.46
= 8.65 cm

Question 4.
The figure shows two squares with two corners joined:
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 9
Find the length of the slanted line.
Answer:
We know that the diagonal length of a square with side length a is a√2.
Diagonal length of the square with side 3 = 3√2 cm
Diagonal length of the square with side 2 = 2√2 cm
Length of the slanted line
= Diagonal length of the square with side 3 + Diagonal length of the square with side 2
= 3√2 + 2√2
= 5√2
≈ 5 x 1.414
≈ 7.07 cm

Question 5.
Calculate the length of the third side of the right triangle in the picture and also its perimeter.
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 10
Answer:
Side length of the big square = \(\sqrt{50}\)
= \(\sqrt{25 \times 2}\)
= \(\sqrt{25}\) × √2
= 5 × √2
≈ 5 × 1.414
≈ 7.07 cm

Side length of the small square = \(\sqrt{18}\)
= \(\sqrt{9 \times 2}\)
= √9 × √2
= 3 × √2
≈ 3 × 1.414
≈ 4.242 cm

Using Pythagoras theorem,
Third side of the right triangle
= \(\sqrt{(\text { side length of the big square })^2-(\text { side length of the small square })^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{(5 \sqrt{2})^2-(3 \sqrt{2})^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{(25 \times 2)-(9 \times 2)}\)
= \(=\sqrt{2(25-9)}\)
= \(=\sqrt{2 \times 16}\)
= √2 × √16
= √2 × 4
= 4√2
Perimeter of the right triangle = 5√2 + 3√2 + 4√2
= 12√2
≈ 12 × 1.414
≈ 16.968 cm

Question 2.
Compute the lengths of the sides of the equilateral triangle shown below, correct to a millimetre.
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 11
Answer:
Consider the triangle given below.
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 12
Using Pythagoras theorem;
(2x)² – x² = 4²
4x² – x² = 16
3x² = 16
x² = \(\frac{16}{3}\)
x = \(\sqrt{\frac{16}{3}}\)
= \(\frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= \(\frac{4}{1.732}\)
= 2.30 cm

Length of the sides = 2x
= 2 × 2.30
= 4.60 cm

Question 3.
All red triangles in the picture are equilateral and of the same size. What is the ratio of the sides of the outer and inner squares?
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 13
Answer:
Let ‘a’ be the side length of the equilaleral triangle
Side length of the outer square = a + a√3 = a( 1 + √3)
Side length of the inner square = a + a√3 – (a + a)
= a + a√3 – 2a
= a√3 – a
= a(√3 – 1)

Ratio of the sides of the outer and inner squares
= \(\frac{\text { Side length of the outer square }}{\text { Side length of the inner square }}\)
= \(\frac{\mathrm{a}(1+\sqrt{3})}{\mathrm{a}(\sqrt{3}-1)}\)
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}-1}\)
= (√3 + 1) (√3 – 1)

SCERT Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions – Areas of Triangles

Textual Questions And Answers

Question 1.
For each of the lengths below, calculate the area of the equilateral triangle with that as the lengths of the sides:
(i) 10 cm
(ii) 5 cm
(iii) √3 cm
Answer:
(i) Here, a = 10
Area = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × a
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 10²
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 100
= √3 × 25
~ 1.732 × 25
~ 43.3 cm²

(ii) Here, a = 5
Area = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × a²
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 5²
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 25
= √3 × 6.25
~ 6.25 × 1.732
~ 10.825 cm²

(iii) Here, a = √3
Area = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × a²
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × (√3)²
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 3
= √3 × 0.75
~ 1.732 × 0.75
~ 1.299 cm²

Question 2.
Calculate the area of the regular hexagon with lengths of the sides 6 centimetres.
Answer:
A regular hexagon can be divided into six equilateral triangles. In such cases; side length of the equilateral triangle = side length of the regular hexagon
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 16
So,
Area of the regular hexagon
= sum of the areas of these six equilateral triangles
= 6 × area of one equilateral triangle
= 6 × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 6²
= 6 × √3 × 9
= 54 × √3
= 54 × 1.732
= 93.528 cm²

Question 3.
Calculate the perimeter and area of the equilateral triangle with height 12 centimetres.
Answer:
We know that height of an equilateral triangle of side length a is \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × a.
Here, height = 12 cm
ie, \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × a = 12
a = \(=\frac{12 \times 2}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= \(\frac{3 \times 4 \times 2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 3 × 8√3
= 24√3
≈ 24 × 1.732
≈ 41.568 cm

Area of the equilateral triangle = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × a²
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × (8√3)²
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 64 × 3
= √3 × 16 × 3
≈ 1.732 × 48
≈ 83.136 cm²

Question 4.
Calculate the perimeter and area of the regular hexagon with the distance between parallel sides 6 centimetres.
Answer:
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 17
Here,
distance between parallel sides = 2 × height of an equilateral triangle
6 = 2 × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) × a
= √3 × a
a = \(\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= \(\frac{3 \times 2}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} \times 2}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= √3 × 2
= 2√3 cm

Perimeter of the regular hexagon = 6 × 2√3
= 12√3
≈ 12 × 1.732
≈ 20.784 cm

Area of the regular hexagon = 6 × area of one equilateral triangle
= 6 × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × (2√3)²
= 6 × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 4 × 3
= 18 × √3
≈ 18 × 1.732
≈ 31.176 cm²

Question 5.
Calculate the height and area of the triangle with sides 8 centimetres, 6 centimetres,6 centimetres.
Answer:
Consider the picture given below;
Kerala Syllabus Class 9 Maths Chapter 5 Solutions Irrational Multiplication 18
Using Pythagoras theorem, height
= \(\sqrt{6^2-4^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{36-16}\)
= \(\sqrt{20}\)
= \(\sqrt{4 \times 5}\)
= √4 × √5
= 2 × √5
= 2√5 cm
Area = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × base × height
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 8 × 2√5
= 8√5 cm²
