(1) 150 m2

Step 1
We need to f ind the area of the f ollowing shape:

Step 2
Let us f irst divide the shape into two rectangles. T he area of the shape in question will be
sum of areas of these two rectangles.

rectangle 1 rectangle 2

Step 3
Let us now f ind the area of rectangles 1 and 2:

Area of rectangle 1 = Length × Width

= 23 m × 3 m
= 69 m2

Area of rectangle 2 = Length × Width

= 9m×9m
= 81 m2
Step 4
Let us now add the areas of rectangles 1 and 2 to get the area of the shape in question.
Area of shape in question = Area of rectangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2

= 69 m2 + 81 m2
= 150 m2

(2) ₩ 20451.6
(3) 3300 m2

Step 1
According to question the length and width of the rectangular lawn is 130 meters and 60
meters respectively.
T he width of the road parallel to the length and parallel to the width are 15 meters and 30
meters respectively, as shown in the f ollowing f igure

Rectangular lawn

Step 2
Now the total area of the two roads = area of the road parallel to the length + area of the
road parallel to the width - area of the road which is common in the both roads
= (130 × 15) + (60 × 30) - (15 × 30)
= 1950 + 1800 - 450
= 3300 m2
Step 3

T he total area of the two roads is 3300 m2.

(4) 52 meters

Step 1
If you look at the question caref ully, you will notice that the cost of f encing a rectangular
ground at ₩ 8 per meter is ₩ 1280 and the perimeter of a rectangle is the total distance
around the outside of a rectangle,
1280
theref ore the perimeter of a rectangular ground = = 160 meter
8

Step 2
T he width of f ield = 28 meter
T he perimeter of a rectangular ground = 2(length of the ground + breadth of the ground)
T he perimeter of a rectangular groung
or length of the ground = - width of the ground
2

Step 3

160
T heref ore the length of the ground = - 28 = 80 - 28 = 52 meter

(5) 8 cm2

Step 1
If you count the squares and half squares in the given f igure, you will notice that the total
number of squares are 8(count two half squares as one small square).
Step 2

Since the area of each small square is 1 cm2, theref ore the area of given f igure is 8 cm2.

(6) 6.75 m2

Step 1
If you look at the f igure caref ully, you will notice that rectangle ABCD is inscribed in a circle
and diagonal BD of the rectangle ABCD is a diameter of the circle, as shown in the
f ollowing f igure.

Now in right angled triangle ΔABD

BD2 = AB2 + AD2
⇒ BD2 = 32 + 4 2
⇒ BD2 = 9 + 16
⇒ BD2 = 25
⇒ BD2 = 52
⇒ BD = 5 m
Step 2
Diameter of the circle = BD = 5 m,
BD 5
Radius of the circle = = = 2.5 m
2 2
Now area of the shaded region = area of the circle - area of the rectangle ABCD
= (πr 2) - (AB × AD)
= 3 × (2.5)2 - (3 × 4)
= 18.75 - 12
= 6.75 m2
Step 3

Area of the shaded region is 6.75 m2.

(7) 18 cm

Step 1
From picture we can see that length and width of rectangles are 27 cm and 12 cm
respectively.
Area of rectangle, = Length × Width
⇒ = 27 × 12
⇒ = 324 cm2
Step 2
Since are of square is same as area of rectangle,
Area of square = 324 cm2
⇒ (Length of square)2 = 324 cm2
⇒ (Length of square) = √324 cm
⇒ (Length of square) = 18 cm

(8) 2 cm2

Step 1
If you count the shaded squares and half squares in the given f igure, you will notice that
the total number of shaded squares are 2(count two half squares as one small square).
Step 2

Since the area of each small square is 1 cm2, theref ore the area of shaded part is 2 cm2.

(9) 12 cm

Step 1
We know that the area of rectangle = length × breath,
Area of rectangle ABCD = AB × AD,
Area of rectangle AEFG = AE × AG
Step 2
If you look at the question caref ully, you will notice that
Area of rectangle ABCD = Area of rectangle AEFG
⇒ AB × AD = AE × AG -----(1)
If you look at the image, you will notice that
AB = AE + EB,
AG = AD + DG
theref ore (1) becomes (AE + EB)AD = AE(AD + DG)
⇒ (AE × AD) + (EB × AD) = (AE × AD) + (AE × DG)
⇒ (EB × AD) = (AE × AD) - (AE × AD) + (AE × DG)
⇒ (EB × AD) = 0 + (AE × DG)
⇒ EB × AD = AE × DG
AE × DG
⇒ EB =
AD
Since AE=12 cm, AD=8 cm and DG=8 cm,
12 × 8
Now EB =
8
96
=
8
= 12
Step 3
T heref ore the length of EB = 12 cm.

Circle

Lets assume r is the radius of a circle.

Circumf erence of the circle = 2πr
Step 2
According to question the dif f erence between circumf erence and radius of a circle is 111
cm.
or 2πr - r = 111
⇒ r(2π - 1) = 111
⇒ r(2π - 1) = 111
22
⇒ r(2 × - 1) = 111
7
44 - 7
⇒ r( ) = 111
7
37
⇒ r( ) = 111
7
7
⇒ r = 111 ×

⇒ r = 21 cm
Step 3
T heref ore the radius of the circle is 21 cm.

(11) d. ₩7600

Step 1

If we look at the f ront wall of the f actory caref ully, we notice that,
the length of the wall = 20 m
T he width of the wall = 12 m
T he area of the wall = 240 m2
Step 2
T he height of the entrance = 5 m
T he width of the entrance = 10 m
T he area of the entrance = 50 m2
Step 3
T he area of the entrance does not need to be painted,
T he area of the wall need to be painted = T he area of the wall - T he area of the entrance
= 240 - 50
= 190 m2
Step 4
T he cost of painting is ₩40 per square m,
the total cost f or painting = 190 × 40 = ₩7600

Step 1
We have to maximize the numbers of rectangles that can be created with a given length of
wire. T heref ore we need to keep size of rectangles as small as possible, so we can make
maximum number or rectangles
Step 2
It is given that each side has to be an integer (i.e. it cannot be 0.5m, 0.8m etc.), theref ore
smallest possible length will be of 1 meter
Step 3
Perimeter of rectangle with each side of 1 meter = 4 × 1 = 4 meters
Step 4
Since 4 meters wire is needed f or 1 rectangle,
T heref ore number of rectangles that can be created with 40 meter = 40 ÷ 4 = 10

Step 1

T he area of a ground = 4.42 m2

and the length of a ground = 1.3 m
Step 2
We know that the area of a rectangle = length × breath
area
or length =
breadth
T he area of ground 4.42
T heref ore the length of ground = = = 3.4 m
T he breadth of ground 1.3

Step 3
T heref ore the perimeter of the ground = 2(length + breath) = 2(1.3 + 3.4) = 9.4 m
