Class 9 NCERT Solutions Maths Chapter 10: Heron's Formula

Ex. 10.1

Heron's Formula Exercise Ex. 10.1

Solution 1

Side of traffic signal board = a
Perimeter of traffic signal board = 3

By Heron's formula

Perimeter of traffic signal board = 180 cm
Side of traffic signal board

Using equation (1), area of traffic of signal board

Solution 2

We may observe that sides of triangle a, b, c are of 122 m, 22 m, and 120 m respectively
   Perimeter of triangle = (122 + 22 + 120) m
                 2s = 264 m
                   s = 132 m
   By Heron's formula

Rent of 1 m² area per year = Rs.5000
Rent of 1 m² area per month = Rs

Rent of 1320 m² area for 3 months

= Rs.(5000

330) = Rs.1650000
So, company had to pay Rs.1650000.

Solution 3

We may observe that the area to be painted in colour is a triangle, having its sides as 11 m, 6 m, and 15 m.
   Perimeter of such triangle = (11 + 6 + 15) m
                2 s = 32 m
                       s = 16 m
By Heron's formula

So, the area painted in colour is

Solution 4

Let third side of triangle be x.
Perimeter of given triangle = 42 cm
18 cm + 10 cm + x = 42
x = 14 cm

By Heron's formula

Solution 5

Let the common ratio between the sides of given triangle be x.
So, side of triangle will be 12x, 17x, and 25x.
Perimeter of this triangle = 540 cm
             12x + 17x + 25x = 540 cm
                         54x = 540 cm
                            x = 10 cm
Sides of triangle will be 120 cm, 170 cm, and 250 cm.
