RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 - Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles (Ex 15.2) Exercise 15.2

In the RD Sharma book, Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles is the 15th chapter. Students will learn about Parallelograms and Triangles, and how to find their areas.  They will get to practice all concepts of this chapter with the extensive collection of questions in RD Sharma. Hence, it will boost their confidence for the exam.

Quadrilateral is a 2D figure having four sides. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which the opposite sides are equal and the diagonals bisect each other. A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has  three edges and three vertices. Based on the measure of sides and angles, triangles can be classified as equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles. In an equilateral triangle, three sides have the same length. In an isosceles triangle, any two sides are of equal length whereas the third side has unequal length. In a scalene triangle, three sides have unequal lengths.

The following three exercises are there in RD Sharma Class 9 Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelogram and Triangles

1. Exercise 15.1

2. Exercise 15.2

3. Exercise 15.3

Areas of Parallelogram and Triangles: Important Formulas

Area of an equilateral triangle= \[ \frac{\surd3}{4}a^{2}\]

(a = side of the given equilateral triangle)

Area of an isosceles triangle= \[\frac{1}{2}bh\]

( b = base; h= height of the given isosceles triangle) 

Area of a scalene triangle=\[\frac{1}{2}bh\]

( b = base; h= height of the given isosceles triangle)

Area of a scalene triangle= √s(s–a)(s–b)(s–c) 

(a, b, and c are the sides of the triangle)

\[s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}\]

(s = the semi perimeter of the triangle)

The theorems and axioms of triangles and parallelogram and the sums on areas of parallelograms and triangles with same base are covered in this chapter.
