Answer:
first answer=c. 70square CM
second answer=d. 8cm
third answer=c. 7 CM
Given :-
• ABC is a triangle
• P is the mid point of AB
• PQ parallel to BC
• Height = 12cm, AP = 7cm, BC = 10cm,
AC = 11cm
Solution 1 :-
As we know that,
Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height
Here,
Height = 12cm, Base BC = 10cm
Put the values in the required formula,
Area of triangle ABC = 1/2 * 10 * 12
Area of triangle ABC = 60cm^2
Solution 2 :-
P is the mid point of AB
According to the Mid point theorem,
The line segment connecting the mid points of two sides of triangle is parallel to the third side and is congruent to one half of third side.
Therefore ,
PQ = 1/2 * BC
PQ = 1/2 * 10
PQ = 5cm
Hence, The Length of side PQ. is 5cm
Solution 3 :-
PQ || BC
By using BPT theorem
It states that if a line drawn parallel to one side of a triangle intersecting the other two sides in distinct points, then the other two sides are divided into same ratio .
Here,
It is given that
AP = 7cm
Therefore,
By basic proportionality theorem
AP = AQ
AQ = 7cm
