Q1. What is the length of the diagonal of a rectangle with length 12 cm and width 9 cm?

Solution:

Using the Pythagorean theorem: d² = length² + width² = 12² + 9² = 144 + 81 = 225, so d = 15 cm.

Q2. What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 10 cm and a width of 5 cm?

Solution:

Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(10 + 5) = 30 cm.

Q3. In triangle DEF, if DE = 8 cm, EF = 6 cm, and DF = 10 cm, is triangle DEF a right triangle?

Solution:

Using the Pythagorean theorem: 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100 = 10², so triangle DEF is a right triangle.

Q6. If the radius of a sphere is doubled, how does the volume change?

Solution:

Volume of a sphere = (4/3)πr³. If r is doubled, the new volume = (4/3)π(2r)³ = (4/3)π(8r³) = 8 times the original volume.
