Assertion (A): The perimeter of the adjoining figure is (32 + x) cm.

The perimeter of the adjoining figure is (32 + x) cm. Area and Perimeter of Plane, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Reason (R): x2 = 132 - 52 = 144 and x = 12 cm.

The perimeter of the adjoining figure is (32 + x) cm. Area and Perimeter of Plane, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Perimeter = (32 + 12) cm

  1. A is true, but R is false.

  2. A is false, but R is true.

  3. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

  4. Both A and R are true, and R is the incorrect reason for A.

Answer

If BC = 14 cm, AB = 14 x 4 cm. Area and Perimeter of Plane, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Perimeter of the figure = sum of all the sides

= 7 + 13 + 12 + x

= (32 + x) cm

So, assertion (A) is true.

From figure,

AB = AC - BC = 12 - 7 = 5 cm

Since, ABE is a right angled triangle. Using pythagoras theorem,

⇒ AE2 = AB2 + BE2

⇒ 132 = 52 + x2

⇒ 169 = 25 + x2

⇒ x2 = 169 - 25

⇒ x2 = 144

⇒ x = 144\sqrt{144}

⇒ x = 12 cm

Perimeter = (32 + x) = (32 + 12) cm.

∴ Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
