  • A. 2.3 m
  • B. 4.6 m
  • C. 7.8 m
  • D. 9.2 m

Explanation: The 4.6 m distance is adjacent to the 60° angle, so cos 60° = 4.6 m ÷ ladder length; therefore ladder length = 4.6 m ÷ 0.5 = 9.2 m.

Correct answer: 9.2 m
  • A. 24/5 cm
  • B. 12/5 cm
  • C. 7/5 cm
  • D. None of these

Explanation: AB and AC are each 6 cm, so triangle ABC is isosceles with sides 6 cm, 6 cm and BC.

Correct answer: None of these
  • A. 4:8
  • B. 1:4
  • C. 6:2
  • D. 3:1

Explanation: All squares have the same fixed relationship between side and diagonal, so if one diagonal is three times the other, its side is also…

Correct answer: 3:1
  • A. 3/2 cm
  • B. 1/2 cm
  • C. 3/4 cm
  • D. 3 cm

Explanation: The altitude of an equilateral triangle is (√3/2) x side. Substituting the side 2√3 cm gives altitude = (√3/2) x 2√3 cm = 3 cm.

Correct answer: 3 cm
  • A. 4/3 cm
  • B. 3/4 cm
  • C. 3 cm
  • D. 4 cm

Explanation: The area of an equilateral triangle is (√3/4)s². Setting (√3/4)s² = 4√3 cm² gives s² = 16 cm², so s = 4 cm.

Correct answer: 4 cm
  • A. 20 sq m
  • B. 10 sq m
  • C. 5 sq m
  • D. 3 sq m

Explanation: The triangle area formula is 1/2 x base x height. Substituting base 4 m and height 5 m gives 1/2 x 4 m x 5 m = 10 m².

Correct answer: 10 sq m
  • A. 0.525cm
  • B. 4.2cm
  • C. 80%
  • D. 60%

Explanation: For similar triangles, areas are proportional to the squares of corresponding heights.

Correct answer: 4.2cm
  • A. 9cm
  • B. 10cm
  • C. 11cm
  • D. 12cm

Explanation: The ratio sum is 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 = 13/12. One ratio unit is therefore 52 cm ÷ (13/12) = 48 cm, and the smallest side is 1/4 × 48 cm = 12…

Correct answer: 12cm
  • A. 25 cm2
  • B. 42 cm2
  • C. 49 cm2
  • D. None of these

Explanation: For any triangle, area = inradius x semiperimeter. The semiperimeter is 28 cm ÷ 2 = 14 cm, so the area is 2.5 cm x 14 cm = 35 cm2, which…

Correct answer: None of these
  • A. 120 cm2
  • B. 130 cm2
  • C. 312 cm2
  • D. 315 cm2

Explanation: The sides satisfy 10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2, so the triangle is right-angled with perpendicular sides 10 cm and 24 cm.

Correct answer: 120 cm2
  • A. 48√3 cm2
  • B. 128√3 cm2
  • C. 9.6√3 cm2
  • D. 64√3 cm2

Explanation: The area of an equilateral triangle is (sqrt3/4) x side2. Thus area = (sqrt3/4) x (16 cm)2 = (sqrt3/4) x 256 cm2 = 64sqrt3 cm2.

Correct answer: 64√3 cm2
  • A. 37 ½ %
  • B. 60 %
  • C. 75 %
  • D. none of these

Explanation: A 60% increase makes the length 1.6 times its original value. To keep the area constant, the width must become 1/1.6 = 0.625 of its…

Correct answer: 37 ½ %
  • A. 33 1/3 %
  • B. 9 1/11 %
  • C. 11 1/9 %
  • D. 66 2/3 %
  • E. None

Explanation: After a 25% reduction, the new price is 75% of the original price. To restore it, the required increase is (100% - 75%)/75% x 100% = 25/75…

Correct answer: 33 1/3 %
