A string of length 24 cm is bent first into a square and then into a right-angled triangle by keeping one side of the square fixed as its base. Then the area of triangle equals to:
Area of trapezium = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × sum of parallel side × Distance between them
792 = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ (26 + 40) × Distance
$$\frac{{792 \times 2}}{{66}}$$ = Distance
∴ Distance = 24

ABCD is a rectangle. P is a point on the side AB as shown in the given figure. If DP = 13, CP = 10 and BP = 6, then what is the value of AP?
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{In }}\Delta PCB \cr
& BC = \sqrt {{{10}^2} - {6^2}} = 8\,{\text{cm}} \cr
& BC = AD = 8\,{\text{cm}} \cr
& {\text{In }}\Delta ADP \cr
& AP = \sqrt {{{13}^2} - {8^2}} \cr
& AP = \sqrt {169 - 64} = \sqrt {105} \cr} $$

A hall 25 metres long and 15 metres broad is surrounded by a varandah of uniform width of 3.5 metres. The cost of flooring the varandah, at Rs. 27.50 per square metre is:
Area of verandah
Area of verandah on outer boundary = 2x($$l$$ + b + 2x)
= 2 × 3.5(25 + 15 + 2 × 3.5) = 329 m2
Cost of flooring = 329 × 27.5 = Rs. 9047.50 (approx.)

In the given figure, ABCD is a square, EFGH is a square formed by joining mid points of sides of ABCD. LMNO is a square formed by joining mid points of sides of EFGH. A circle is inscribed inside EFGH. If area of circle is 38.5 cm2, then what is the area (in cm2) of square ABCD ?
Area of circle = 38.5
πr2 = 38.5
r2 = $$\frac{{385}}{{10}} \times \frac{7}{{22}}$$
r = $$\frac{7}{2}$$ cm
MN = 2r = 7 cm
$${\sqrt 2 }$$ a = 7 cm
a = $$\frac{7}{{\sqrt 2 }}$$ cm
Side of square EFGH = 2 × a
EG = 7$${\sqrt 2 }$$ cm
$${\sqrt 2 }$$ b = 7$${\sqrt 2 }$$
b = 7 cm
Side of square ABCD = 7 × 2 = 14 cm
Area = a2 = 142 = 196 cm2

A rectangular park is 120 m long and 104 m wide. A 1-m wide path runs along the boundary of the park, remaining completely inside the park area. Thus, the outside edges of the path run along the boundary wall of the park. The inside edges of the path are marked with a white line of negligible thickness. If it costs Rs. 2.50 to mark each metre with the white line, then how much would it cost (in Rs.) to fully mark the inside edges of the path?
The sides of a triangle are in the ratio $$\frac{1}{3}:\frac{1}{5}:\frac{1}{6}.$$ If the perimeter is 147 cm, then the length of the smallest side is . . . . . . . .
