  • question_answer
    A kite in the shape of a square with a diagonal 32 cm attached to an equilateral triangle of the base 8 cm. Approximately how much paper has been used to make it? (use\[\sqrt{3}=\mathbf{1}.\mathbf{732}\])

    A)  539.712 \[c{{m}^{2}}\]      

    B)  538.721 \[c{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)  540.712 \[c{{m}^{2}}\]                      

    D)  539.217 \[c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a): Area of paper = Area of square + Area of equilateral triangle \[=\frac{1}{2}{{\left( diagonal \right)}^{2}}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {{\left( side \right)}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 32\times 32+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times 8\times 8\] \[512+16\times 1.732\] \[512+27.712=539.712\]\[c{{m}^{2}}\]
