Let ABCD be a rectangular grass plot whichhas a gravel path of width = W = 2.5 m(shaded portion)length of plot = l = 112 mbreadth of plot = b = 78 mHere, the path is inside the rectangularplot.Using the formula:-

= 2W(l + b 2W)= 2 2.5 (112 + 78 2 2.5)= 925 m2

Now, cost of construction the path= 925 3.40 = Rs. 3145

a = 17.32 mHence, the side of the equilateral triangleis 17.32 m.

68. (C)

Let ABCD is a rectangle whosediagonal = d = 25 m

area = A = 168 m2 length = l = ? breadth = b = ?

Using the correlation formula

(l + b)2 = d2 + 2A [Refer 12.4]

and (l + b)2 = d2 2A

(l + b)2 = (25)2 2 + 168

l + b = 31 (i)

Similarly,

(l + b)2 = (25)2 2 168

l b = 17 (ii)

From (i) and (ii)

l = 24 m = length of the rectangle

b = 7 m = breadth of the rectangle

69. (A) The given points A, B and C are collinear.

So, these area of the triangle formedby these points will be zero.

a2 + b2 = 2

1[(10)2 + (17.78)2] = 208... (i)

and 2(a + b) = 40 (given) a + b = 20 ..... (ii)From (i) and (ii), we have

a = 12, b = 872. (B) Let ABCD be a rhombus whose

perimeter = p = 36 marea = A = 72 m2

perimeter p = 4 a 36 = 4a a = 9 m

Area, A = a h 72 = 9 h

h = 9

h = 8 m

DA.... (i)

In right triangle AOB and AOC:-

AB2 = AD2 + BD2 .... (i)

and, AC2 = AD2 + DC2 .... (ii)

Adding (A) and (B):-

AB2 + AC2 = 2AD2 + DC2

= 2 BD DC + BD2 + DC2

[from (ii)]

Thus in ABC;

AB2 + AC2 = BC2

Hence, ABC is a right angled at A.

Where,a = 120d = 5

Sn = 2

n[2 120 + (n 1)5] ... (i)

But, also, using the formula,Sum of interior angles for n sidedploygon = (2n 4) 90From (1) and (2)

(2n 4) 90 =2

n[2 120 + (n 1)5]

n2 25n + 144 = 0 (n 16)(n 9) = 0

n = 16 or 916th interior angle

Since no interior angle of a regularpolygon can exceed 180.

So, n = 16 is not valid.
