Question : The length of the diagonal of a square is $9\sqrt{2}$ cm. The square is reshaped to form an equilateral triangle. What is the area (in cm2) of the largest incircle that can be formed in that triangle?

Option 1: $6\pi$

Option 2: $9\pi$

Option 3: $12\pi$

Option 4: $15\pi$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $12\pi$


Solution :
Diagonal of square = $9\sqrt2$
Diagonal = side$\sqrt2$
$9\sqrt2=side\sqrt2$
Side = 9 cm
Perimeter of the square = 9 × 4 = 36
$\therefore$ Perimeter of the triangle = 36
Side = $\frac{36}{3}=12$
We know that
Radius of the incircle = $\frac{\text{Side of the triangle}}{2\sqrt3}$

Question : If $ a^{2}+a+1=0$, then the value of $a^{5}+a^{4}+1$ is:

Option 1: $a^2$

Option 2: $1$

Option 3: $0$

Option 4: $a+1$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $0$


Solution : Given: $a^2 + a +1 = 0$
⇒ $a^2 + a = -1$
The given expression = $a^5 + a^4+1$
$=a^3(a^2 + a) + 1$
$=a^3(-1) + 1 = 1^3 - a^3$
Using identity $x^3-y^3=(x-y)(x^2+y^2+xy)$, we get
$=(1-a)(1^2+1(a)+a^2)$
$=(1-a)(1+a+a^2)$
$= 0$
Hence, the correct answer
