a kite in the shape of square with diagonal 32 cm and an isosceles triangle of base 8 cm and side 6 cm each is made of 3 different shades hoe much paper of each shade has been used in it
Answers
kite is made with square ABCD
& an isosceles ∆DEF.
Given, sides of a ∆DEF are DE=DF= 6cm & EF= 8cm
& Diagonal of a square ABCD= 32cm
We know that,
As the diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angle.
OA=OB=OC=OD=32/2=16cm
AO perpendicular BC & DO perpendicular BC
Area of region I = Area of ∆ABC= ½×BC×OA
[Area of right Triangle=1/2× base height]
Area of region I= ½×32×16=256cm²
Similarly area of region II = 256cm²
For the III section,
Now, in ∆DEF
let the sides a=6cm,b= 6cm & c=8cm
Semi perimeter of triangle,s = (6 + 6 + 8)/2 cm = 10cm
Using heron’s formula,
Area of the III triangular piece = √s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)
= √10(10 – 6) (10 – 6) (10 – 8)
= √10 × 4 × 4 × 2
=√2×5×4×4×2
=√2×2×4×4×5
=2×4√5=8√5
= 8×2.24=17.92cm²
[√5= 2.24...]
Hence, area of paper of I colour used in making kite= 256cm²
Area of paper of II colour used in making kite= 256cm²
And area of paper of III colour used in making kite= 17.92cm²
