Perimeter and Area

Question 1.
The side of a square is 2.5 cm. Find its perimeter and area.
Solution:
Side of the square = 2.5 cm
Perimeter = 4 × Side = 4 × 2.5 = 10 cm
Area = (side)2 = (4)2 = 16 cm2

Question 2
If the perimeter of a square is 24 cm. Find its area.
Solution:
Perimeter of the square = 24 cm
Side of the square = 244 cm = 6 cm
Area of the square = (Side)2 = (6)2 cm2 = 36 cm2

Question 3.
If the length and breadth of a rectangle are 36 cm and 24 cm respectively. Find
(i) Perimeter
(ii) Area of the rectangle.
Solution:
Length = 36 cm, Breadth = 24 cm
(i) Perimeter = 2(l + b) = 2(36 + 24) = 2 × 60 = 120 cm
(ii) Area of the rectangle = l × b = 36 cm × 24 cm = 864 cm2

Question 4.
The perimeter of a rectangular field is 240 m. If its length is 90 m, find:
(i) it’s breadth
(ii) it’s area.
Solution:
(i) Perimeter of the rectangular field = 240 m
2(l + b) = 240 m
l + b = 120 m
90 m + b = 120 m
b = 120 m – 90 m = 30 m
So, the breadth = 30 m.
(ii) Area of the rectangular field = l × b = 90 m × 30 m = 2700 m2
So, the required area = 2700 m2

Question 5.
The length and breadth of a rectangular field are equal to 600 m and 400 m
respectively. Find the cost of the grass to be planted in it at the rate of ₹ 2.50 per m 2.
Solution:
Length = 600 m, Breadth = 400 m
Area of the field = l × b = 600 m × 400 m = 240000 m2
Cost of planting the grass = ₹ 2.50 × 240000 = ₹ 6,00,000
Hence, the required cost = ₹ 6,00,000.

Question 6.
The perimeter of a circle is 176 cm, find its radius.
Solution:
The perimeter of the circle = 176 cm

Question 7.
The radius of a circle is 3.5 cm, find its circumference and area.
Solution:
Radius = 3.5 cm
Circumference = 2πr

Question 8.
Area of a circle is 154 cm2, find its circumference.
Solution:
Area of the circle = 154 cm2

Question 9.
A wire of length 176 cm is first bent into a square and then into a circle. Which one will
have more area?
Question 10.
In the given figure, find the area of the shaded portion.

Solution:
Area of the square = (Side)2 = 10 cm × 10 cm = 100 cm2
Area of the circle = πr2
= 227 × 3.5 × 3.5
= 772 cm2
= 38.5 cm2
Area of the shaded portion = 100 cm2 – 38.5 cm2 = 61.5 cm2
A rectangle park is 45 m long and 30 m wide. A path 2.5 m wide is constructed outside
the park. Find the area of the path.

Solution:
Length of the rectangular park = 45 m
Breadth of the park = 30 m
Area of the park = l × 6 = 45m × 30m = 1350 m2
Length of the park including the path = 45 m + 2 × 2.5 m = 50 m
Breadth of the park including the path = 30 m + 2 × 2.5 m = 30m + 5m = 35m
Area of the park including the path = 50 m × 35 m = 1750 m2
Area of the path = 1750 m2 – 1350 m2 = 400 m2
Hence, the required area = 400 m2.

Question 11.
Find the breadth of a rectangular plot of land, if its area is 440 m2 and the
length is 22 m. Also find its perimeter.

Question 12.
The area of a square park is the same as of a rectangular park. If the side of
the square park is 60 m and the length of the rectangular park is 90 cm, find
the breadth of the rectangular park.
Solution;

Given:
The side of the square park = 60 m
The length of the rectangular park =90 m
According to the question,
Area of square park = Area of rectangular park
side x side = length x breadth
60 x 60 = 90 x breadth
Breadth =40m

Question 13.
A door of length 2 m and breadth 1 m is fitted in a wall. The length of the wall is
4.5 m and the breadth is 3.6 m. Find the cost of white washing the wall, if the
rate of white washing the wall is ₹ 20 per m2.

Sol--Area of rectangular door = length x breadth = 2 m x 1 m = 2 m2

Area of wall including door = length x breadth = 4.5 m x 3.6 m
= 16.2 m2 Now, Area of wall excluding door
 = Area of wall including door – Area of door
= 16.2 – 2 = 14.2 m2
Since, The rate of white washing of 1 m2 the wall = ₹20
Therefore, the rate of white washing of 14.2 m2 the wall = 20 x 14.2
= ₹284
Thus, the cost of white washing the wall excluding the door is ₹284.

Question14. Find the area of each of the following parallelograms:

We know that the area of parallelogram = base x height

(a) Here base = 7 cm and height = 4 cm

 Area of parallelogram = 7 x 4 = 28 cm2

(b) Here base = 5 cm and height = 3 cm

 Area of parallelogram = 5 x 3 = 15 cm2

(c) Here base = 2.5 cm and height = 3.5 cm

 Area of parallelogram = 2.5 x 3.5 = 8.75 cm2

(d) Here base = 5 cm and height = 4.8 cm

 Area of parallelogram = 5 x 4.8 = 24 cm2

(e) Here base = 2 cm and height = 4.4 cm

 Area of parallelogram = 2 x 4.4 = 8.8 cm2
Question15.

Find the cost of polishing a circular table-top of diameter 1.6 m, if the rate of
polishing is
₹15/m2. Take  = 3.14

Solution:-
Diameter of the circular table top = 1.6 m
1.6
 Radius of the circular table top =  0.8 m
2
Area of circular table top =  r 2
= 3.14 x 0.8 x 0.8
= 2.0096 m2
Now cost of 1 m2 polishing = ₹15
Then cost of 2.0096 m2 polishing = 15 x 2.0096 = ₹ 30.14
(approx.) Thus, the cost of polishing a circular table top is
₹ 30.14 (approx.)

Question16. Find the height if the area of the parallelogram is 36 square cm and
the base is 9 cm.

Question17. What is the circumference of a circle of diameter 14 cm

(Take pi =3.14)

Question18. Find the area of the triangle whose base is 14 cm and height is 20
cm?
