Ans:

Given: Length $=12.3\text{cm}$

Breadth $=9.6\,\,\text{cm}$

We know perimeter $=2(l+b)$

\[\begin{align} & =2(12.3+9.6) \\ & =31.5\text{cm} \\ \end{align}\]

Ans:

Given: Perimeter of square field $=175\text{m}$

We need to find the cost of fencing the field.

Perimeter $=175\,\,\text{m}$

Cost of fencing per metre $=\text{Rs}\text{.}60$

So, total cost of fencing will be

\[\begin{align} & =175\times 60 \\ & =\text{Rs}\text{. 10,500} \\ \end{align}\]

Q1. The length and breadth of a rectangle field are \[340\text{m}\] and \[160\text{m}\text{.}\] A watchman walked $5$ rounds around the field. Find the distance covered by him.

Ans:

Given: length of rectangular field, $l=340\text{m}$

Breadth of rectangular field, $b=160\text{cm}$

We need to find the distance covered by the watchman.

We know that Perimeter, $\text{P}=2(l+b)$

\[\begin{align} & =2(340+160) \\ & =2(500) \\ & =1000\text{cm} \\ \end{align}\]

This is the length of one round but watchman walked 5 rounds.

So, distance covered by watchman will be

\[\begin{align} & =5\times 1000 \\ & =5000\text{cm} \\ \end{align}\]


Q2. The length and breadth of a rectangular box is in the ratio \[4:5.\] If its perimeter \[4\text{m }40\text{cm}.\] Find its dimensions.

Ans:

Given: $\frac{l}{b}=\frac{4}{5}$

Perimeter $=4\,\text{m }40\,\text{cm}$

We need to find the length and breadth of the rectangular box.

Let length of the box $=4x$

Breadth of the box $=5x$

So, we know that

\[\begin{align} & \text{P}=2(l+b)=4\text{m }40\text{cm} \\ & =2(4x+5x)=4\text{m }40\text{cm} \\ & =2(9x)=4.4\text{m} \\ & =18x=4.4\text{m} \\ & \Rightarrow x=\frac{4.4}{18} \\ & =0.244\text{m} \\ \end{align}\]

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangular box will be

\[\begin{align} & l=4x \\ & =4\times 0.244 \\ & =0.976\text{ cm} \\ & =97.6\text{ m} \\ & b=5x \\ & =5\times 0.244 \\ & =1.22\text{ cm} \\ & =122\text{ m} \\ \end{align}\]


Q3. How many square tiles each of side \[0.25\,\text{m}\] will be required to pane the floor of a room which is \[4\,\text{m}\]broad and \[3\,\text{m}\] long?

Ans: 

Given: Length of room, $l=4\,\text{m}$

Breadth of the room, $b=3\,\text{m}$

Area of the room will be

\[\begin{align} & =4\times 3\,\text{square meters} \\ & =12\,\text{square meters} \\ \end{align}\]

Side of square tile =0.25 m

\[\begin{align} & =\frac{1}{4}\,\text{m} \\ \end{align}\]

Area of each square tile will be

\[\begin{align} & =\left( \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4} \right)\,\text{sq}\text{. meters} \\ & =\frac{1}{16}\,\text{sq}\text{. meters} \\ \end{align}\]

Therefore, number of tiles needed to pane the floor of the room will be

\[\begin{align} & =12\div \frac{1}{16} \\ & =12\times 16 \\ & =192\,\,\text{tiles} \\ \end{align}\]


Q4. Calculate area( all units are in m)


A combination of rectangular blocks (i)


Given:


A combination of rectangular blocks (ii)


We need to find the area of the figure.

We know that area of rectangle $=l\times b$

So, area of rectangle, $1={{A}_{1}}=l\times b$

\[\begin{align} & =3\times 1 \\ & =3\text{ sq}\text{. meters} \\ \end{align}\]

Area of rectangle, $2={{A}_{2}}=l\times b$

\[\begin{align} & =6\times 1 \\ & =6\text{ sq}\text{. meters} \\ \end{align}\]

Area of rectangle, $3={{A}_{3}}=l\times b$

\[\begin{align} & =3\times 1 \\ & =3\text{ sq}\text{. meters} \\ \end{align}\]

Therefore, area of the figure will be

\[\begin{align} & A={{A}_{1}}+{{A}_{2}}+{{A}_{3}} \\ & =3+6+3 \\ & =12\text{ sq}\text{. meters} \\ \end{align}\]

Q1. Find the perimeter of a regular heptagon having each side equal to \[5.5\text{ cm}\]

Ans:

Given: A regular heptagon with side \[5.5\text{ cm}\]

We need to find the perimeter of the heptagon.

We know that perimeter is the length of outer sides of a figure.

Regular heptagon means a figure of $7$ sides and all sides are equal.

Therefore, the perimeter of the heptagon will be

\[\begin{align} & =7\times \text{side} \\ & =7\times 5.5 \\ & =38.5\text{ cm} \\ \end{align}\]


Q2. Find the perimeter of the below figure and the figure is symmetrical about its horizontal axis.


An arrow symbol with all the sides measurements


Ans:

Given: the figure which is symmetrical about its horizontal axis.

We need to find the perimeter of the given figure.

We know that the perimeter is the total length of all sides of the given figure.

Therefore, perimeter of the given figure will be

\[\begin{align} & =8+16+4+12+12+4+16 \\ & =8+20+21+20 \\ & =70\text{ cm} \\ \end{align}\]


Q3. Find the area of the following figure with each square of area \[1\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\].


Combination of squares arranged in L-shape


Ans:

Given: The figure having each square of area \[1\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]


Combination of squares arranged in L-shape


We need to find the area of the figure.

Total number of squares the figure have $=16$

Area of one square \[=1\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]

Therefore, the area of the figure will be

\[\begin{align} & =16\times 1\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}} \\ & =16\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}} \\ \end{align}\]


Q4. Find area of rectangle whose length and breadth are \[35\text{ cm}\] and \[15\text{ cm}\]. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Ans:

Given: length of rectangle, \[l=35\text{ cm}\]

Breadth of rectangle, $b=15\text{ cm}$

We need to find the area and perimeter of the rectangle.

We know that area of rectangle $=l\times b$

Therefore, area will be

\[\begin{align} & =35\times 15 \\ & =525\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{2}} \\ \end{align}\]

Also, we know that perimeter of a rectangle $=2(l+b)$

Therefore, perimeter will be

\[\begin{align} & =2(35+15) \\ & =2\times 50 \\ & =100\text{ cm} \\ \end{align}\]

Q1. The cost of cultivating a square field is \[\text{Rs}.130\text{ per meter}\] is \[\text{Rs}\text{. }8,450\] . Find the length of each side of the field.

Ans: 

Given: Cost of cultivating a square field $=\text{Rs}.130\text{ per meter}$

Total cost of cultivating the square field $=\text{Rs}\text{. }8,450$

We need to find the length of the side of square field.

Area of square field $=\frac{\text{Total cost of cultivating}}{\text{Per meter cost of cultivating}}$

Therefore, area will be

\[\begin{align} & =\frac{8450}{130} \\ & =65\text{ }{{\text{m}}^{2}} \\ \end{align}\]

Now, we know that area of a square $=\text{side}\times \text{side}$

Therefore, the length of the each side of square field will be

\[\begin{align} & 65=\text{side}\times \text{side} \\ & {{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}=65 \\ & \text{s}=\sqrt{65} \\ & \text{s}=8.06\text{ cm} \\ \end{align}\]
