A) 62.45%	B) 51.42%
C) 48.88%	D) 47.32%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 48.88%

Explanation:

Number of runs made by running = 180 - (11 x 4 + 8 x 6)
= 180 - (92)
= 88

Q:

What is the area of an obtuse angled triangle given below with two sides are 8 and 12 and the angle included between two sides is 150 deg?

A) 48 sq units B) 24 sq units

C) 12 sq units D) 6 sq units

A) 48 sq units

B) 24 sq units

C) 12 sq units

D) 6 sq units

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 24 sq units

Explanation:

We know that,

The area of a triangle with two sides given and included angle

A = 1/2 x product of sides x Sin(angle)

Here the two sides are 8 & 12

Angle = 150

Area = 1/2 x 8 x 12 x sin150

Sin(150) = sin(90+60) = cos(60) = 1/2

A = 48 x 1/2 = 24

Area of the given triangle = 24 sq units.
