Write the correct answer.  \nExample 1 : What is the area of the triangle ADE in the following figure?  \nA  \nD  \nB  \n8 cm  \nC  \n(a)45 cm2 (b) 50 cm2 (c) 55 cm2 (d) 40 cm2  \nSolution : The correct answer is (d) .  \nExample 2 : What will be the change in the volume of a cube when its side becomes 10 times the original side?  \n(a) Volume becomes 1000 times.  \n(b) Volume becomes 10 times.  \n(c) Volume becomes 100 times.  \n1   \n(d) Volume becomes times.  \n1000  \nSolution : The correct answer is (a) .  \nIn examples 3 and 4, fill in the blanks to make the statements true. Example 3 : Area of a rhombus is equal to   ofits diagonals.  \nSolution : Half the product.  \n338  EXEMPLAR PROBLEMS  \nFor more FREE DOWNLOADS, visit [www.aspirationsinstitute.com](www.aspirationsinstitute.com)  \nUNIT-11  \nExample 4 : If the area of a face of a cube is 10 cm2 , then the total surface area of the cube is    \nSolution : 60 cm2.  \nIn examples 5 and 6, state whether the statements are true (T) or false (F). Example 5 : 1L = 1000 cm3  \nSolution : True.  \nExample 6 : Amount of region occupied by a solid is called its surface area.  \nSolution : False.  \nExample 7 : 160 m3 of water is to be used to irrigate a rectangular field whose area is 800 m2. What will be the height of the water level in the field?  \nSolution : Volume of water = 160 m3  \nArea of rectangular field = 800 m2  \nLet h be the height of water level in the field.  \nNow, volume of water = volume of cuboid formed on the field by water.  \n160 = Area of base × height  \n= 800 × h  \n  160  \nh = = 0.2  \n800  \nSo, required height = 0.2 m  \nExample 8 : Find the area of a rhombus whose one side measures 5 cm and one diagonal as 8 cm.  \nSolution : Let ABCD be the rhombus as shown below.  \nMENSURATION  \n 339  \nFor more FREE DOWNLOADS, visit [www.aspirationsinstitute.com](www.aspirationsinstitute.com)  \nMATHEMATICS  \nDO = OB = 4cm, since diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other. Therefore, using Pythagoras theorem in  DAOB,  \nAO2 + OB2 = AB2  \nAO =  AB2-OB2 = 52 42 = 3 cm  \nSo, AC = 2 × 3 = 6 cm    \n1   1  \nThus, the area of the rhombus = 2 × d1 × d2 = 2 × 8 × 6 = 24 cm2.  \nExample 9 : The parallel sides of a trapezium are 40 cm and 20 cm. If its non-parallel sides are both equal, each being 26 cm, find the area of the trapezium.  \nSolution ","cbCaipH0fOq7HfK8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipH0fOq7HfK8","pdf",286840,29,"English","# Unit 11 Mensuration\n## (A) Main Concepts and Results\n## (B) Solved Examples\n## Vocabulary Connections","[{\"question\":\"What is the difference between perimeter and area in Mensuration?\",\"answer\":\"Perimeter is the length of the boundary of a simple closed figure.
