GEOMETRY QUESTIONS

1)A triangle has sides 10,24 and n, where n is a positive integer. The number of values of n for which the triangle has three acute angles is: p ion Ans would be 4,n=22,23,24,25 concept is for a right triangle the square of the largest side= sum of the squares of the other two sides ..for acute triangle ..sqr of largest side < sum of the sqaures of the other 2 sides ...so these values of n satisfy this condition !! 2)All internal angles of polygon are distinct integers with greatest of them being 110.The no of sides at most is: 4,5,6,7 ANS is 5 max th angles cud be 110,109,108,107,106 for atmost 5 sides...that is equal to 540 (n-2)*180=540 fr n = 5 the formula for internal anlges is 180-360/n n = no. of vertices so going by options take 4 first then angle comes to be 90 each four angles can be 110 ,70,90,90 but we need to find max so next is 2nd opt that 5 in that sum of internal angles comes out to be 540 which can be made as 110,109,108,107,106 so this also satisfies condition now for 3rd opt 6 the sum of interior angle is 720 so we need 6 angle whose add makes upto 720 such that highest among them is 110 .So this as per that condtion its not possible , so correct ans is 5 Its always better to use external angles in such cases Minimum is 70 and sum of all angles is 360 Now, 70 + 71 + 72 + 73 + 74 = 360 So, 5 angles 3) There is a trapizium with parallel sides as 7 and 25. The diagonals are perpendicular to the non parallel sides. find the area of the trepezium. Suppose ABCD is the trapezium with AB || CD and AB = 7, CD = 25 => BD is perpendicular to BC and AC is perpendicular to AD So, CD is substending equal angles 90 degree at two different points A and B => ABCD is cyclic Also, angle subtended is 90 => CD is diameter of the circle Heigh = ( .5 + .5) =

So, area = (1/2)*12*(7 + 25) = 192 If H is the perp distance between the two parallel sides and one of the angle of the trap is Q then H= 9tanQ = 16cotQ

Tan Q= 4/3 hence height = 12 ar= 1/2*32*12= 192 In a quadrilateral the opposite triangles formed by the diagonals have area 12 and 27. what is the minimum area of the other two triangles? Hemant Yadav If we have o minimize he um of area of o her wo riangle GM) hen i will be 8 + 8 = 6(U ing AM

If O is any point on the circuference of the Circle I and circle II is drawn by taking O as the centre such that its circumference bisects the circumference of I. If the area of circle I is 4 pie cm^2, what is the area of circle I not in common with circle II 4 cm^2 Subhankar Dhar 4pi-4 aya hai explain karna muskil hai photo lagana padega ... confirm kar do Korea wale :-P Pankaj Kamani sirf 4 hai subha bhai .. :) Ok, tell me one thing.. both corcles will be of equal radii, each passing through the centre of other... right Avinash Kumar when you draw the diagram circle 2 will pass through diameter of smaller circle and the area of bigger circle will be 8pi after that the half of the smaller circle will be covered by bigger circle and only some part of it is left in the other half that is 2pi part find the area of the sector which you will get 2pi usme se subtract the triangle area which will be 4 cm then the part of area inside the other half of smaller circle will be 2pi-4 subtract this from 2pi you will get the an Two poles, of height 1.5 m and 3 m are in a straight line with a lamppost which is 10 m high. The distance between the lamppost and the 3 m pole is 3.5 m and the shadows of the top-most points of the two poles' fall at the same point on the ground. Find the distance between the two poles 3/x=10/x+3.5(x is the distance from bottom of the 3 m pole to the end of the shadow so 3x+10.5=10x 7x=10.5 x=1.5 so 3 ke liye hai 1.5 ... 1.5 ke liye ayega 0.75(length of shadow ) baki bacha 0.75 :-P The equations of two equal sides AB and AC of an isoceles triangle ABC are x+y=5 and 7x-y=3 respectively.What will be the length of the intercept cut by the side BC on the y-axis? here we hav to find the eqn of the 3rd side...so, unless some more info abt the length of the sides is given we cant determine it...! Ek baar dono lines ko graphically bana ke dekh...clear ho jayega.

Area of the rhombus ax (+or-) by (+or-) c = 0 is? a. 3c^2/ab b. 4c^2/ab c. 2c^2/ab d. c^2/ab Jus Put a=b=c=1 one of thr lines of the rhombus will be x+y=1....area tat it will enclose bq itself and the axes will be 1/2... Hence total area = 2... Now check from options :) How many points on x+y=4 are there that lie at a unit distance from the line 4x+3y=10? Two Rohan Chugh use the distance formula |ax1+by1+c|/(root(a^2+b^2) and solve Ankush Chutani yeah we can use the dist formula but we can also note here that for two intersecting lines there will always be 2 such points on one of the lines which are at unit distance from the other line...or for that matter any value of dist..! Ankush Chutani Tn= n*(2*n+1) = 2*n^2 + n S= Summ Tn = 2*n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)/6 + n*(n+1)/2 Sahil Madan A toy consists of a base, which is in the form of a section of a sphere, surmounted by a cone. The base of the cone coincides with the plane surface of the spherical section. The volume of the conical portion is 250p cu. units and its height is 30 units. If the total height of the toy is 55 units, then the surface area (in sq. units) of the sphere from which the base has been extracted is? these are the options..576p

b) 676p

c) 729p

d) 784p 250pi = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * 30 r=5 Sphere radius,R = (25+x)/2 in sectional sphere make a triangle of sides (25+x)/2 , (25-x)/2, 5 from here u will get x=1 => R=13. :

A right angled traiangle has r=6 and R=12 . Perimeter of the triangle is Options 36 30 48 24 i have an explanation as the circum raduius = 1/2 of the hypotenues the hypotennus should be 24 the sum of the other 2 sides must be greater than the other side so the sum of the perpendicular sides must be >24 asume 24+k so the perimetre is 24+24+k=48+k ?? Pandit Jii vohii to .. right triangle mei .. circumcentre is the mid point of the hyp.. so R = c/2 ab in no way .. r can be c/4 /.. my guess Pandit Jii P=2(2R+r) area =r^2+2rR Pandit Jii 6/8/10 p = 24 a = 24 R=5 r=2 formula se -- perimeter = 2(10 + 2 ) = 24 area = 4 + 20 = 24 Consider a triangle PQR so that PQ=4, PR=5 and QR=6. Similarly, we have a point S so that QS=5, RS=4, and PQSR is a paralleogram (not an isosceles trapezium). We draw the angle bisector of < P, which hits QS at T, and the angle bisector of <PQT, which intersects PT at U. Then the length of TU is (vx denotes square root of x) (a) 3 (b) 4v6/ 3 (c) 2v3 (d) 9/2 (e) none of the foregoing Hemant Yadav Since PQRS is a parallelogram, angle RPQ + PQS = 180 => UPQ + PQU = (1/2)180 = 90

=> QUP = 90 => QU will be perpendicular to PT So, PQT is an isosceles triangle Also, Cos(QPR) = (4^2 + 5^2 - 6^2)/(2*4*5) = 1/8 => Cos(PQT) = -1/8 => Also, 2*{Cos(PQU)}^2 - 1 = Cos(PQT) => Co (PQU) = 7/ => Sin(PQU) = 3/4 => TU = PU = PQ{Sin(PQU)} = 3

Alternatively:We just have to find half of the larger diagonal of a rhombus having all sides of dimension 4 and angles similar to the given parallelogram So, if TU = x, then -(4^2 + 5^2 - 6^2)/(2*4*5) = (4^2 + 4^2 - (2x)^2)/(2*4*4) => x = 3 radius of a circle circumscribing pentagon of side 10 cm....... let ABCDE be the pentagon and O b the cntre of the circle connect O with A and B... OAB will be an isocles tr. drop a prpndclr from O to AB at M.... AB = 10 AM = 5 /_OAM = 54 => OA = 5/cos(54) or 5*sec(54 the perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 52 cm and each of its equal sides is 16 cm..find the length of the altitude to one of its equal side area of isosceles = b/4*root( 4a^2-b^2)= 1/2*b*d a= equal sides , b= other side area of isosceles = b/4*root( 4a^2-b^2)= 1/2*a*d A parallelogram is having vertices at (0, 44), (22, 96), (48, 92), (26, 40). A line through the origin cuts this figure into two congruent polygons. The slope of the line is p/q where p and q are relatively prime positive integers. Find p + q. p/q = 17/6 => p+q = 23 ? the volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut on a cube of side 12
