Ans: 2. 200cm2
Solution:
Given, radius of circle = 10cm
The largest square that can be cut-out of a circle of radius 10cm will have its diagonal equal to the diameter of the circle.
Let the side of a square be x.
Then, area of the square = x + x = x2 cm2 [ ∵ area of square = (side2)]

Now, in right angled △DAB,

(BD)2 = (AD)2 + (AB)2 [by Pythagora theorem]
2 2 2
∴ (20) = x + x

[ ∵ diagonal = diameter and diameter = 2 × radius = 2 × 10 = 20cm]

Now, in right angled APLR, using Pythagoras theorem,
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2
⇒ PR2 = PL2 + LR2
⇒ LR2 = PR2 − PL2
⇒ LR2 = (12)2 − (8)2
⇒ LR2 = 144 − 64 = 80
⇒ LR = √80 = 4√5cm
∴ LR = LQ + QR

⇒ LQ = LR − QR
⇒ LQ = (4√5 − 6)cm
Now, Area of △PLR,

Q125. If the length of a diagonal of a rectangle of length 16cm is 20cm, then its area 1 Mark
is: 1. 192cm2
2. 320cm2
3. 160cm2
4. 156cm2

Ans: 1. 192cm2
Solution:
Here, l = 16cm, Length of diagonal = 20cm. Let b be the breadth of the rectangle.
In the right-angled triangle formed with the adjacent sides and the diagonal, using Pythagoras theorem, we get
l2 + b2 = (Diagonal)2
⇒ 162 + b2 = 202
⇒ b2 = 202 - 162 = 144
⇒ b = 12cm
Area of rectangle = l × b = 16 × 12 = 192cm2
