Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $\frac{(612+388)^2+(612-388)^2}{(612 \times 612)+(388 \times 388)}$ $= \frac{(612)^2 + (388)^2 +2 \times 612 \times 388 + (612)^2 + (388)^2 -2 \times 612 \times 388}{(612)^2 + (388)^2 }$ $= \frac{2[(612)^2 + (388)^2 ]}{(612)^2 + (388)^2 }$ $= 2$ Hence, the correct answer is 2.
Question : A kite in the shape of a square with a diagonal 32 cm attached to an equilateral triangle of the base 8 cm. Approximately how much paper has been used to make it?(Use $\sqrt3$ = 1.732)
Option 1: 539.712 cm2
Option 2: 538.721 cm2
Option 3: 540.712 cm2
Option 4: 539.217 cm2
Correct Answer: 539.712 cm2
Solution :
Area of the square = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (diagonal)2 = $\frac{1}{2}×32^2$ = $512$ cm2 Area of the equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt3}{4}$×(side)2 = $\frac{\sqrt3}{4}×8^2$ = $16\sqrt3$ cm2 Total area = $512$ + $16\sqrt3$ = 512 + 27.712 = 539.712 cm2
