If h = 10 cm, c=6 cm, b= 12 cm, d=4 cm, find the values of each of its parts separately and add to find the area WXYZ. Verify it by putting the values of h, a and b in the expression (h(a+b))/(2)

In class VII we learnt to draw parallelogram of equal areas with different perimeters. Can it be done for trapezium? Check if the following trapeziums are of equal areas out have different perimeters (fig. 11.9). We know that all congruent figures are equal in area. Can we say figures equal in area need to be congruent too? Are these figures congruent? Draw at least three trapeziums which have different areas but equal perimeters on a squared sheet.

A tent is in the shape of a cylinder surmounted by a conical top. If the height and diameter of the cylindrical part are 2.1 m arid 4 m respectively, and the slant height of the top is 2.8 m, find the area of the canvas used for making the tent. Also find the cost of the canvas of the tent at the rate of 500 per m^2 (Note that the base of the tent will not be covered with canvas). (Unless stated otherwise , take pi=22/7 )

Sanya has a piece of land which is in the shape of a rhombus (See Fig. ). She wants her one daughter and one son to work on the land and produce different crops to suffice the needs of their family. She divided the land in two parts by joining its opposite comers. If the perimeter of the land is 400 m and one of the diagonals is 160 m, how much area each of them will get to work on.
