The size of the rectangle become double when it is scaled up $2$ times.

So new length $=2\times 4=8\ \ cm$
So option $C$ is correct.

A circle of radius $7\ cm$ is scaled $3$ times. Then the perimeter of the circle become:

  1. $3$ times the original perimeter

  2. $6$ times the original perimeter

  3. $9$ times the original perimeter

  4. Doesn't change


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Radius of circle $=7 \ \ cm$

Perimeter $=2\pi r=2\times \pi\times7=14\pi\ \ cm$
When scaled $3$ times
New radius $=3\times 7=21 \ \ cm$
New Perimeter $=2\pi r=2\times \pi\times21=42\pi\ \ cm$
Ratio of perimeters $=\dfrac{42\pi}{14\pi}=3$
So the perimeter becomes three times.

If one shape becomes another using a resize, then the shapes are __________. 

  1. similar

  2. congruent

  3. mirror images

  4. none of the above

A has a pair of triangles with corresponding sides proportional, and B has a pair of pentagons with corresponding sides proportional.
$S _1 \equiv $ 
A's triangles must be similar
$S _2 \equiv $ B's pentagons must be similar 
Which of the following statement is correct ? 

  1. $S _1$ is true, but $S _2$ is not true.

  2. $S _2$ is true, but $S _1$ is not true.

  3. Both $S _1$ and $S _2$ are true

  4. Neither $S _1$ and $S _2$ are true


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

For similarity of triangles we have SSS criteria. So $S _1$ is true. 
But for polygons to be similar, the corresponding sides must be in equal ratio as well as the corresponding angles must be congruent.

Since, there is nothing mentioned about the angles of the pentagons, so $S _2$ is false.

A flagstaff $17.5$ m high casts a shaded length of $40.25$ m. The height of the building which costs a shadow of length $28.75$ m under similar conditions will be:

  1. $10$ m

  2. $12.5$ m

  3. $17.5$ m

  4. $21.25$ m


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Flagstaff and shade forms right triangle with height $17.5$ m and base $40.25$ m

$\dfrac{17.5}{40.25} = \tan(\theta)$
under similar conditions $\theta$ will remain same.
Lets assume height of the building as $H$
Hence, $ \tan(\theta)=\dfrac{17.5}{40.25}$ $ = \dfrac {H}{20.75}$
$\Rightarrow  H= 12.5$ m

The ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides of $2$ similar right angled triangles is $2:5$. If the length of the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle is $5$ inches, find the length of the hypotenuse of the larger triangle (in inches):

  1. 2

  2. 2.5

  1. $20$ m

  2. $19$ m

  3. $18$ m

  4. $17$ m


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
The distance of middle point of middle house from the corner house is $\dfrac { 40 }{ 2 } =20$ and house to house distance will be $\therefore 20-2=18$
The distance between he Middle house and Corner house will be $18$ m.

In an Atlas a map occupies $\displaystyle \frac{2}{5}$th of a page with dimensions 25 cm and 30 cm respectively If the real area of the map is 10800 sq. m the scale to which the map is drawn is

  1. 1 cm = 36 m

  2. 1 cm = 26 m

  3. 1 cm = 33 m

  4. 1 cm = 6 m


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Area occupies by the map=$(2/5)*25*30cm^{2}=300cm^{2}$
Area of $300cm^{2}$ on the map represent $10800 m^{2}$ real area of the map.
So,Area of $1cm^{2}$ on the map represent =$10800m^{2}/300cm^{2} 
                                                                       =  36m^{2}:1 cm^{2}$
Ratio of length=
$R=\sqrt { \frac { Real\quad area\quad  }{ Map\quad area } \quad  } =\sqrt { \frac { 36m^{2} }{ 1cm^{2} }  } =\frac { 6m }{ 1cm } $
Scale =1cm=6m
Answer (D) 1 cm = 6 m

$ \Delta ABC ~ \Delta PQR $ for the correspondence $ABC \leftrightarrow PQR $ . If the perimeter of $ \Delta ABC $ is $12$ and the perimeter of $ \Delta PQR $ is $20 $ , then $AB : PQ = $ ______

  1. $\dfrac {6}{5}$

  2. $\dfrac {2}{5}$

  3. $\dfrac {3}{5}$

  4. $\dfrac {1}{5}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
$ABC\leftrightarrow PQR$
$\dfrac{AB}{PQ}=\dfrac{AC}{PR}=\dfrac{BC}{QR}=k(say)$

$AB=k(PQ);AC=k(PR);BC=k(QR)$
$[AB+BC+AC]=k[PQ+RQ+PR]$
Perimeter $(\Delta ABC)$ = perimeter $(\Delta PQR)\times k$
$12=20\times k$

$k=\dfrac{12}{20}=\dfrac{3}{5}$

$\therefore \dfrac{AB}{PQ}=k=\dfrac{3}{5}$

  1. $10$ cm

  2. $20$ cm

  3. $140$ cm

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Scale $= k =$ $\dfrac{1}{400}$
Now, $\dfrac{\text{Length of model}}{\text{Length of aeroplane}} = k$
$\text{Length of model }= \dfrac{40 \times 100}{400}$
$\text{Length of model} =10$ cm

The line segments joining the midpoints of the sides of a triangle form four triangles each of which is:

  1. similar to the original triangle

  2. congruent to the original triangle

  3. an equilateral triangle

  4. an isosceles triangle


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given: $\triangle ABC$, D, E and F are mid points of AB, BC, CA respectively.

In $\triangle ABC$
F is mid point of AC and D is mid point of AB. 
Thus, By Mid point theorem
$FD = \dfrac{1}{2} CB$ and $FD = CB$ or $FD = CE$ and $FD \parallel CE$ (1)

Similarly,
$DE = FC$ and $DE \parallel FC$ (2)
$FE = DB$ and $FE \parallel DB$ (3) 
From (1), (2) and (3)
$\Box ADEF$, $\Box DBEF$ and $\Box DECF$ are parallelograms
The diagonal of a parallelogram divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles.
Hence, $\triangle DEF \cong \triangle ADF$
$\triangle DEF \cong \triangle DBE$
$\triangle DEF \cong \triangle FEC$
or, $\triangle DEF \cong \triangle ADF \cong \triangle ECF \cong \triangle ADF$
thus, mid points divide the triangle into 4 equal parts.

Thus, the smaller triangles are congruent to each other and similar to the original triangle.

$D, E, F$ are the mid points of the sides $AB, BC,CA$ respectively of $\triangle ABC$. Then $\triangle DEF$ is congruent to 

  1. $\triangle ABC$

  2. $\triangle AEF$

  3. $\triangle BDF , \triangle CDE $

  4. $\triangle ADF $


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Given: $\triangle ABC$, $D, E \ and \ F$ are mid points of $AB, BC, CA$ respectively.

In $\triangle ABC$

$F$ is mid point of $AC \ and \ D$ is mid point of $AB.$ 

Thus, By Mid point theorem

$FD = \dfrac{1}{2} CB$ and $FD = CB$ or $FD = CE$ and $FD \parallel CE$         ....(1)

Similarly,
$DE = FC$ and $DE \parallel FC$            ...(2)

$FE = DB$ and $FE \parallel DB$             ...3) 

From (1), (2) and (3)

$\Box ADEF$, $\Box DBEF$, $\Box DECF$ are parallelograms

The diagonal of a parallelogram divides the parallelogram into two congruent triangles.

Hence, $\triangle DEF \cong \triangle ADF$

$\triangle DEF \cong \triangle DBE$

$\triangle DEF \cong \triangle FEC$

$\triangle DEF \cong \triangle ADF \cong \triangle ECF \cong \triangle ADF$

In $\triangle ABC$, $AB=3cm, AC=4cm$ and $AD$ is the bisector of $\angle A$. Then $BD:DC$ is:

  1. $9:16$

  2. $16:9$

  3. $3:4$

  4. $4:3$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In $\triangle ABC$,
AD bisects $\angle A$
By angle bisector theorem,
$\dfrac{AB}{AC} = \dfrac{BD}{DC}$
$\dfrac{BD}{DC} = \dfrac{3}{4}$

A model of an aeroplane is made to a scale of $1:400$. Calculate the length, in m, of the aeroplane, if the length of its model is $16$ cm.

  1. $68$ m

  2. $64$ m

  3. $54$ m

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Scale $= k =$ $\dfrac{1}{400}$
Now, $\dfrac{\text{Length of model}}{\text{Length of aeroplane}} = k$
$\text{Length of aeroplace} = 400 \times 16$
$\text{Length of model }= 6400$ cm
$\text{Length of model }= 64$ m

Triangle $ABC$ is such that $AB=3cm, BC=2cm$ and $CA=2.5cm$. Triangle $DEF$ is similar to $\triangle ABC$. If $EF=4cm$, then the perimeter of $\triangle DEF$ is:

  1. $7.5cm$

  2. $15cm$

  3. $22.5cm$

  4. $30cm$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given: $AB = 3 cm$, $BC = 2 cm$ and $CA = 2.5 cm$ and $EF = 4 cm$ 

Also, $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DEF$

Thus, $\dfrac{AB}{DE} = \dfrac{BC}{EF} = \dfrac{AC}{DF}$

$\dfrac{3}{DE} = \dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{2.5}{DF}$

Hence, $DE = 6 cm$ and $DF = 5 cm$

Perimeter of $\Delta$ DEF = $DE + EF + EF$

Perimeter of $\Delta$ DEF = $4 + 5 + 6$

Perimeter of $\Delta$ DEF = $15$ cm

$\triangle ABC\sim \triangle DEF$. IF $BC=4cm$, $EF=5cm$ and area $(\triangle ABC)=32{cm}^{2}$, determine the area of $\triangle DEF$.

  1. $50{m}^{2}$

  2. $40{m}^{2}$

  3. $40{cm}^{2}$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ar. ($\triangle ABC$) = $32 cm^2$
$BC = 4 cm$
$EF = 5 cm$
For similar triangles the ratio of areas is equal to the ratio of square of its sides.
Thus, $\frac{A(\triangle ABC)}{A(\triangle DEF)} = \frac{BC^2}{EF^2}$
$\frac{32}{A(\triangle DEF)} = \frac{4^2}{5^2}$
$A(\triangle DEF) = \frac{32 \times 25}{16}$
$A(\triangle DEF) = 50 cm^2$

The areas of two similar triangles are $48{cm}^{2}$ and $75{cm}^{2}$ respectively. If the altitude of the first triangle be $3.6cm$, find the corresponding altitude of the other.

  1. $4cm$

  2. $4.5cm$

  3. $5cm$

  4. $5.5cm$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ar. ($\triangle _{1}$) = $48 cm^2$
Ar. ($\triangle _{2}$) = $75 cm^2$
$a _{1} = 3.6 cm$
For similar triangles the ratio of areas is equal to the ratio of square of their altitudes.
Thus, $\frac{A(\triangle _{1})}{A(\triangle _{2})} = \frac{(a _1)^2}{(a _2)^2}$
$\frac{48}{75} = \frac{(3.6)^2}{(a _2)^2}$
$(a _2)^2 = \frac{12.96 \times 75}{48}$
$(a _2)^2 = 20.25$
$a _2 = 4.5$cm

$\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle PQR$ are similar triangle such that area $(\triangle ABC)=49{cm}^{2}$ and Area $(\triangle PQR)=25{cm}^{2}$. If $AB=5.6cm$, find the length of $PQ$.

  1. $4cm$

  2. $5cm$

  3. $5.6cm$

  4. $7cm$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ar. ($\triangle ABC$) = $49 cm^2$
Ar. ($\triangle PQR$) = $25 cm^2$
$AB = 5.6 cm$
For similar triangles the ratio of areas is equal to the ratio of square of its sides.
Thus, $\dfrac{A(\triangle ABC)}{A(\triangle PQR)} = \dfrac{AB^2}{PQ^2}$
$\dfrac{49}{25} = \dfrac{(5.6)^2}{PQ^2}$
$PQ^2 = \dfrac{31.36 \times 25}{49}$
$PQ^2 = 16$
$PQ = 4$cm

The dimensions of the model of a multistorey building are 1.2 m$\displaystyle \times 75cm\times 2m.$
If the scale facor is 1 : 30; find the actual dimesions of the building.

  1. $\displaystyle 23m\times 22.5m\times 60m$

  2. $\displaystyle 12m\times 22.5m\times 60m$

  3. $\displaystyle 17m\times 22.5m\times 60m$

  4. $\displaystyle 36m\times 22.5m\times 60m$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Scaling factor = $\frac{Length \quad of \quad model}{Length \quad of \quad building}$
$\frac{1}{30} = \frac{1.2}{Length \quad of \quad building}$
Length of building = $1.2 \times 30$
Length of building = $36$ m
Similarly, Breadth of building = $75 \times 30$ = 22.5 m
Height of building = $30 \times 2$ = 60 m
hence, dimensions of building are : $36 \times 22.5 \times 60$

On a scale map $0.7\ cm$ represents $8.4\ km$. If the distance between two points on the map is $46.5\ cm$, what is the actual distance between the points?

  1. $56\ km$

  2. $55.80\ km$

  3. $62.80\ km$

  4. $72\ km$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given $0.7$cm represents $8.4$ km 

$46.5$ cm represents $x$
By proportionality 

$\dfrac{0.7}{46.5} = \dfrac{8.4}{x}$

$x = \dfrac{8.4\times46.5}{0.7}$
 
$x = 55.80km$

The perimeter of two similar triangles $ABC$ and $PQR$ are $36\ cm$ and $24\ cm$ respectively. If $PQ = 10\ cm$ then the length of $AB$ is

  1. $18\ cm$

  2. $12\ cm$

  3. $15\ cm$

  4. $30\ cm$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$\triangle ABC = \triangle PQR$, then
$\dfrac {\text {Perimeter of}\triangle ABC}{\text {Perimeter of}\triangle PQR} = \dfrac {AB}{PQ} = \dfrac {BC}{QR} = \dfrac {AC}{PR}$
$\dfrac {36}{24} = \dfrac {AB}{10}; AB = \dfrac {36}{24}\times 10 = 15\ cm$.
