Question
Length of the fence of a trapezium shaped field ABCD is 120m. If BC = 48m , CD = 17m and AD = 40m , Find the area of this field. Side AB is perpendicular to the parallel sides AD and BC.
Hint:
Find the length of AB from perimeter and other given sides of trapezium .
Now , find the area of Trapezium = ½ height × (sum of lengths of parallel sides).
The correct answer is: 660 m2
Ans :-660 m2.
Explanation :-
Step 1:- Find the length of AB from perimeter and other given side lengths.
Perimeter of trapezium = 120 m
Given BC = 48 m ;CD = 17 m and AD = 40 m.
Side AB is perpendicular to the parallel sides AD and BC
Perimeter of trapezium = AB+BC+CD+DA
Step 2:- find the area of trapezium
= 660 m2
Therefore, Area of trapezium shaped field ABCD = 660 m2.

A certain colony of bacteria began with one cell, and the population doubled every 20 minutes. What was the population of the colony after 2 hours?
Note:
This is a logical question and doesn’t require any prior knowledge except the idea of multiplication. This could also be solved by simply making a table with an interval of 20 min and population which is multiplies by 2 in consecutive cells till we get 2 hours.

In the x - y plane, the graph of line has slope 3 . Line k is parallel to line and contains the point ( 3, 10 ). Which of the following is an equation of line k ?
Note:
The general equation of a line is Ax + By = c. This form is modified to give us many other forms of equation of a line which involve the use of slope, x intercept, y intercept, etc. The student needs to be familiar with all these forms of equation of a line.
