Area and its boundary

 PERIMETER
 Perimeter of any plane figure made by straight lines is the sum of
all sides.
 Perimeter of square = 4 × side
 Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (l + b)
where l = length & b = breadth

 Side of square = Perimeter of square ÷ 4

 Length of rectangle = (Perimeter of rectangle ÷ 2) - breadth
 Breadth of rectangle = (Perimeter of rectangle ÷ 2) - length
 Area
 The amount of surface enclosed by a closed bounded figure is
called its area.
 Area of square = side × side
 Area of rectangle = length × breadth

 Length of rectangle = Area of rectangle ÷ breadth

 Breadth of rectangle = Area of rectangle ÷ length

Q1. Find the perimeter and area of a square field of
side 12.5 m.
Solution:
Side of a field = 12.5 m
Perimeter of field = 4 × side
= 4 × 12.5
= 50 m
Area of field = side × side
= 12.5 × 12.5
= 156.25 sq m
Q2. Find the area of a square plot whose perimeter
is 236 m.
Solution:
Perimeter of a square plot = 236 m
4 × side = 236
Side = 236 ÷ 4
= 59 m
Area of field = side × side
= 59 × 59
= 3481 sq m
Q3. Find the breadth of a rectangle whose perimeter
is 196 cm and length is 45 cm. Also find its area.
Solution:
Length of rectangle = 45 cm Area of rectangle = l × b
Perimeter of rectangle = 196 cm = 45× 53
2 × ( l + b) = 196 = 2385 sq cm
l + b = 196 ÷ 2
45 + b = 98
b = 98 – 45
b = 53 cm
Q4. The area of a rectangle is 450 sq m. If its length
is 15 m. Find its breadth.
Solution:
Length of rectangle = 15 m
Area of rectangle = 450 sq m
l × b = 450
15× b = 450
b = 450 ÷15
b = 30 m
