Q3: Solve the following

Class VIII
 a) In a right triangle, the longest side is 9cm.One of the remaining sides is 5 3 cm
long.Find the length of the other side.
Sol:
c2=a2+b2
(9)2=(5 3 cm)2 + b2
81=75+ b2
81-75= b2
b2 =6cm2
2
b=
b = 2.45cm

b) The figure shows an isosceles triangle ABC. Find the height AD

c2=a2+b2
(15m)2 =(11m)2 + b2
225 =121+ b2
15m
225-121= b2
b2 =104m2
b = 104𝑚2
b = 10.2m
22m

Subjective
Q1: ABC is right triangle.AC is hypotenuse. Length of side 5 . Side BC is twice of side AB.
Find the length of AC?

Sol: AC=? AB= 5 , BC=2(5

AC2=AB2+BC2
AC2=(5 )2 + (10 2

AC2=125+ 500
AC2= 625
AC=25

Class VIII
Q2: Mark likes to jog to the school that is due south of his home and due west to his favorite
swimming pool. If the school is 12 kilometers from his home and the straight-line distance
between the home and the swimming pool is 13 km, how far is the school from the swimming
pool?
Sol:
Using the Pythagoras theorem:
Distance² = south² + west²
= 12² + 13²
= 144 + 169
= 313
Distance = √313 ≈ 17.7 km
So, the school is approximately 17.7 kilometers from the swimming pool.

Q3: A Street named “street1”intersects another street, named street 2 both streets are 8m and
6m wide respectively. Both streets intersect Determine the distance between the two opposite
corners of the intersection? (Draw a diagram for correct interpretation)
Sol: Let's Street 1 is 8m wide, Street 2 is 6m wide
When the two streets intersect, they form a rectangle with two opposite corners. To find the
distance between these corners, we need to find the diagonal of this rectangle.

Using the Pythagorean theorem:

hyp2=base2+per2
= 8² + 6² Street 1
= 64 + 36 =8m
= 100
Diagonal = √100
= 10m Street 2 =6m
So, the distance between the two opposite corners of the intersection is 10 meters.
Q4: If the square of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 162 , find the length of
each side (draw a diagram for correct interpretation)
Sol: let x be the length of the remaining 2 sides of isosceles triangle
hyp2=base2+per2
162cm2 =x2 + x2
162cm2 =2x2
2 2
Hyp2=162cm2
162cm /2=x
81cm2 = x2
9cm=x

A) 1/4 B) 1/2 C) 3/4 D) 1/3
Answer: B) 1/2
(The possible outcomes are: HH, HT, TH, TT. Exactly one heads occurs in HT and TH, so the
probability is 2/4 = 1/2).
2. A die is rolled once. What is the probability of getting an odd number or a number
greater than 4?

Class VIII
 A) 2/3 B) 1/3 C) 1/2 D) 5/6
Answer: A) 2/3
(The possible outcomes on a die are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, and numbers
greater than 4 are 5, 6. The outcomes that satisfy either condition are 1, 3, 5, and 6. That’s 4
outcomes out of 6, so the probability is 4/6 = 2/3).

replacement. What is the probability of drawing one red ball and one blue ball?
A) 5/8 B) 15/56 C) 15/28 D) 3/8
Answer: C) 15/28
(The total number of ways to choose two balls from 8 is 82 = 28. The favorable outcomes

(The favorable outcomes for a sum of 7 are: (1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), (6, 1), so 6
outcomes. For a sum of 11, the favorable outcomes are: (5, 6), (6, 5), so 2 outcomes. Therefore,
there are 6 + 2 = 8 favorable outcomes. The probability is 8/36 = 2/9).
5. A box contains 3 green marbles, 2 blue marbles, and 5 red marbles. If two marbles are
drawn without replacement, what is the probability that both marbles are blue?
A) 1/15 B) 2/45 C) 1/10 D) 1/20
Answer: B) 2/45
(The total number of ways to choose 2 marbles from 10 is 102 = 45. The favorable outcomes
for drawing 2 blue marbles are 22 = 1. The probability is 1/45).

is the probability of drawing a red or green ball?
A) 7/9 B) 5/9 C) 6/9 D) 5/8
