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

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

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
