Answer
Breadth of a rectangular piece of land = 300 m
(i) Area of a rectangular piece of land = Length x Breadth
= 500 x 300 = 1,50,000 m2
(ii) Since, the cost of 1 m2 land = Rs. 10,000
Therefore, the cost of 1,50,000 m2 land = 10,000 x 1,50,000
= Rs. 1,50,00,00,000

Answer
⇒ 4 x side = 320
⇒ side = 320/4 = 80 m
Now, Area of square park = side x side
= 80 x 80 = 6400 m2
Thus, the area of square park is 6400 m2.
3
Answer
⇒ length x breadth = 440 m2
⇒ 22 x breadth = 440 ⇒ breadth = 440/22 = 20 m
Now, Perimeter of rectangular park = 2 (length + breadth)
= 2 (22 + 20)
= 2 x 42 = 84 m
Thus, the perimeter of rectangular park is 84 m.
4
Answer
⇒ 2 (length + breadth) = 100 cm
⇒ 2 (35 + breadth) = 100 ⇒ 35 + breadth = 100/2
⇒ 35 + breadth = 50 ⇒ breadth = 50 – 35
⇒ breadth = 15 cm
Now, Area of rectangular sheet = length x breadth
= 35 x 15 = 525 cm2
Thus, breadth and area of rectangular sheet are 15 cm and 525 cm2 respectively.
5
Answer
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 = (60×60)/90 = 40 m
Thus, the breadth of the rectangular park is 40 m.
6
Answer
Perimeter of square = Perimeter of rectangle
⇒ 4 x side = 2 (length + breadth)
⇒ 4 x side = 2 (40 + 22) ⇒ 4 x side = 2 x 62
⇒ side = (2×62)/4 = 31 cm
Thus, the side of the square is 31 cm.
Now, Area of rectangle = length x breadth = 40 x 22 = 880 cm2
And Area of square = side x side = 31 x 31 = 961 cm2
Therefore, on comparing, the area of square is greater than that of rectangle.
7
Answer
⇒ 2 (length + breadth) = 130 cm
⇒ 2 (length + 30) = 130 ⇒ length + 30 = 130/2
⇒ length + 30 = 65 ⇒ length = 65 – 30 = 35 cm
Now area of rectangle = length x breadth = 35 x 30 = 1050 cm2
Thus, the area of rectangle is 1050 cm2.
8
Answer
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 = 14.2m2
Since, The rate of white washing of 1 m2m2the wall = Rs. 20
Therefore, the rate of white washing of 14.2m2m2 the wall = 20 x 14.2
= Rs. 284
Thus, the cost of white washing the wall excluding the door is Rs. 284.

We know that the area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
In first row, base = 15 cm and area = 87 cm2
∴ 87 = 1/2 x 15 x height ⇒ height = 87×2/15 = 11.6 cm
In second row, height = 31.4 mm and area = 1256 mm2
∴ 1256 = 1/2 x base x 31.4 ⇒ base = (1256×2)/31.4 = 80 mm
In third row, base = 22 cm and area = 170.5 cm2
∴ 170.5 = 1/2 x 22 x height ⇒ height = (170.5×2)/22 = 15.5 cm

(a) the area of the parallelogram PQRS
(b) QN, if PS = 8 cm
Answer
Given: SR = 12 cm, QM= 7.6 cm, PS = 8 cm.
(a) Area of parallelogram = base x height = 12 x 7.6 = 91.2 cm2
(b) Area of parallelogram = base x height
⇒ 91.2 = 8 x QN ⇒ QN = 91.2/8= 11.4 cm

DL and BM are the heights on sides AB and AD respectively of parallelogram ABCD. If the area of the parallelogram is 1470 cm2, AB = 35 cm and AD = 49 cm, find the length of BM and DL.
Answer
Given: Area of parallelogram = 1470 cm2
Base (AB) = 35 cm and base (AD) = 49 cm
Since Area of parallelogram = base x height
⇒ 1470 = 35 x DL ⇒ DL = 1470/35= 42 cm
Again, Area of parallelogram = base x height
⇒ 1470 = 49 x BM ⇒ BM = 1470/49 = 30 cm
Thus, the lengths of DL and BM are 42 cm and 30 cm respectively.

ΔABC is right angled at A. AD is perpendicular to BC. If AB = 5 cm, BC = 13 cm and AC = 12 cm, find the area of ΔABC. Also, find the length of AD.
Answer
In right angled triangle BAC, AB = 5 cm and AC = 12 cm
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x AB x AC = 1/2 x 5 x 12 = 30 cm2
Now, in ΔABC,
Area of triangle ABC = 1/2 x BC x AD
⇒ 30 = 1/2 x 13 x AD
⇒ AD = 30×2/13 = 60/13 cm
8
Answer
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x BC x AD = 1/2 x 9 x 6 = 27 cm2
Again, Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x AB x CE
⇒ 27 = 1/2 x 7.5 x CE ⇒ CE = (27×2)/7.5 = 7.2 cm
Thus, height from C to AB i.e., CE is 7.2 cm.

Answer
(b) Circumference of the circle = 2πr = 2×22/7×28= 176 mm
(c) Circumference of the circle = 2πr = 2×22/7×21 = 132 cm
2
Answer
(b) Diameter = 49 m
∴ radius = 49/2= 24.5 m
∴ Area of circle = πr2= 22/7×24.5×24.5 = 22 x 3.5 x 24.5 = 1886.5 m2
(c) Area of circle = πr2= 22/7×5×5 = 5507 cm2
3
Answer
⇒ 2πr = 154 m ⇒ r=154/2π
⇒ r=(154×7)/(2×22) = 24.5 m
Now, Area of circular sheet = πr2
= 22/7×24.5×24.5
= 22 x 3.5 x 24.5
= 1886.5 m2
Thus, the radius and area of circular sheet are 24.5 m and 1886.5 m2 respectively.
4
Answer
∴ Radius of the circular garden = 21/2 m
Now, Circumference of circular garden = 2πr = 2×22/7×21/2 = 2 x 11 x 3 = 22 x 3 = 66 m
The gardener makes 2 rounds of fence so the total length of the rope of fencing
= 2 x 2πr = 2 x 66 = 132 m
Since the cost of 1 meter rope = Rs. 4
Therefore, cost of 132 meter rope = 4 x 132 = Rs. 528
5
Answer
Area of remaining sheet = Area of circular sheet – Area of removed circle
= πR2−πr2 = π(R2−r2)
= π(42−32) = π(16−9)
= 3.14 x 7 = 21.98 cm2
Thus, the area of remaining sheet is 21.98 cm2.
6
Answer
∴ Radius of the circular table cover = 1.52 m
Circumference of circular table cover = 2πr = 2×3.14×1.52 = 4.71 m
Therefore the length of required lace is 4.71 m.
Now the cost of 1 m lace = Rs. 15
Then the cost of 4.71 m lace = 15 x 4.71 = Rs. 70.65
Hence, the cost of 4.71 m lace is Rs. 70.65.
7
Answer
∴ Radius = 10/2 = 5 cm
According to question,
Perimeter of figure = Circumference of semi-circle + diameter
= πr + D = 22/7×5+10/2 = 110/7+10
= (110+70)/7=180/7= 25.71 cm
Thus, the perimeter of the given figure is 25.71 cm.
8
Answer
∴ Radius of the circular table top = 1.62= 0.8 m
Area of circular table top = πr2 = 3.14 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 2.0096 m2
Now cost of 1 m2 polishing = Rs. 15
Then cost of 2.0096 m2 polishing = 15 x 2.0096 = Rs. 30.14 (approx.)
Thus, the cost of polishing a circular table top is Rs. 30.14 (approx.)
9
Answer
∴ the circumference of the circle = 2πr = 44 cm
⇒ 2×22/7×r=44
⇒ r=(44×7)/(2×22)= 7 cm
Now Area of the circle = πr2 = 22/7×7×7= 154 cm2
Now the wire is converted into square.
Then perimeter of square = 44 cm
⇒ 4 x side = 44
⇒ side = 44/4 = 11 cm
Now area of square = side x side = 11 x 11 = 121 cm2
Therefore, on comparing the area of circle is greater than that of square, so the circle enclosed more area.
10
Answer
Length of rectangle (l) = 3 cm and breadth of rectangle (b)(b) = 1 cm
According to question,
Area of remaining sheet = Area of circular sheet – (Area of two smaller circles + Area of rectangle)
= πR2−[2(πr2)+(l×b)]
= 22/7×14×14−[(2×22/7×3.5×3.5)−(3×1)]
= 22 x 14 x 2 – [44 x 0.5 x 3.5 + 3]
= 616 – 80
= 536 cm2
Therefore the area of remaining sheet is 536 cm2.
11
Answer
According to question,
Area of aluminium sheet left = Total area of aluminium sheet – Area of circle
= side x side - πr2
= 6 x 6 – 22/7 x 2 x 2
= 36 – 12.56
= 23.44 cm2
Therefore, the area of aluminium sheet left is 23.44 cm2.
12
Answer
⇒ 2πr = 31.4
⇒ 2 x 3.14 x r = 31.4
⇒ r = (31.4)/(2×3.14)
= 5 cm
Then area of the circle = πr2= 3.14 x 5 x 5
= 78.5 cm2
Therefore, the radius and the area of the circle are 5 cm and 78.5 cm2 respectively.
13
Answer
∴ Radius of circular flower bed (r)=66/2 = 33 m
∴ Radius of circular flower bed with 4 m wide path (R) = 33 + 4 = 37 m
According to the question,
Area of path = Area of bigger circle – Area of smaller circle
= πR2−πr2 = π(R2−r2)
= π[(372−(33)2]
= 3.14 [ (37 + 33) (37 – 33)] [∵a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b)]
= 3.14 x 70 x 4
= 879.20 m2
Therefore, the area of the path is 879.20 m2.
14
Answer
= 3.14 x 12 x 12
= 3.14 x 144
= 452.16 m2
Area of the circular flower garden = 314 m2

Therefore the sprinkler will water the entire garden.
15
Answer
∴ Circumference of outer circle = 2πr = 2 x 3.14 x 19 = 119.32 m
Now radius of inner circle (r′) = 19 – 10 = 9 m
∴ Circumference of inner circle = 2πr′ = 2 x 3.14 x 9 = 56.52 m
Therefore the circumferences of inner and outer circles are 56.52 m and 119.32 m respectively.
16
Answer
Radius of wheel = 28 cm and Total distance = 352 m = 35200 cm
∴ Distance covered by wheel = nn x circumference of wheel
⇒ 35200 = n×2πr
⇒ 35200 = n×2×22/7×28
⇒ n=(35200×7)/(2×22×28)
⇒ n = 200 revolutions
Thus wheel must rotate 200 times to go 352 m.
17
Answer

Answer
Outer length of rectangular garden with path = 90 + 5 + 5 = 100 m
Outer breadth of rectangular garden with path= 75 + 5 + 5 = 85 m
Outer area of rectangular garden with path = length x breadth = 100 x 85 = 8,500 m2
Inner area of garden without path = length x breadth = 90 x 75 = 6,750 m2
Now Area of path = Area of garden with path – Area of garden without path
= 8,500 – 6,750 = 1,750 m2
Since, 1 m2= 1/10000 hectares
Therefore, 6,750 m2 = 6750/10000 = 0.675 hectares2
2
Answer
Length of rectangular park with path = 125 + 3 + 3 = 131 m
Breadth of rectangular park with path = 65 + 3 + 3 = 71 m
∴ Area of path = Area of park with path – Area of park without path
= (131 x 71) – (125 x 65)
= 9301 – 8125
= 1,176 m2
Thus, area of path around the park is 1,176 m2.
3
Answer
Since, there is a margin of 1.5 cm long from each of its side.
Therefore reduced length = 8 – (1.5 + 1.5) = 8 – 3 = 5 cm
And reduced breadth = 5 – (1.5 + 1.5) = 5 – 3 = 2 cm
∴ Area of margin = Area of cardboard (ABCD) – Area of cardboard (EFGH)
= (AB x AD) – (EF x EH)
= (8 x 5) – (5 x 2)
= 40 – 10
= 30 cm2
Thus, the total area of margin is 30 cm2.

Answer
The length of room with verandah = 5.5 + 2.25 + 2.25 = 10 m
The width of room with verandah = 4 + 2.25 + 2.25 = 8.5 m
Area of verandah = Area of room with verandah – Area of room without verandah
= Area of ABCD – Area of EFGH
= (AB x AD) – (EF x EH)
= (10 x 8.5) – (5.5 x 4)
= 85 – 22 = 63 m2
(ii) The cost of cementing 1 m2 the floor of verandah = Rs. 200
The cost of cementing 63 m2 the floor of verandah = 200 x 63 = Rs. 12,600
5
Answer
Side of square garden without path = 30 – (1 + 1) = 30 – 2 = 28 m
Now Area of path = Area of ABCD – Area of EFGH
= (AB x AD) – (EF x EH)
= (30 x 30) – (28 x 28)
= 900 – 784 = 116 m2
(ii) Area of remaining portion = 28 x 28 = 784 m2
The cost of planting grass in 1 m2 of the garden = Rs. 40
The cost of planting grass in 784 m2 of the garden = Rs. 40 x 784 = Rs. 31,360
6
Answer
And KL = 10 m and KN = 10 m
Area of roads
= Area of PQRS + Area of EFGH – Area of KLMN
[∵ KLMN is taken twice, which is to be subtracted]
= PS x PQ + EF x EH – KL x KN
= (300 x 10) + (700 x 10) – (10 x 10)
= 3000 + 7000 – 100 = 9,900 m2
Area of road in hectares, 1 m2 = 1/10000 hectares
∴ 9,900 m2 = 9900/10000 = 0.99 hectares
Now, Area of park excluding cross roads = Area of park – Area of road
= (AB x AD) – 9,900
= (700 x 300) – 9,900
= 2,10,000 – 9,900
= 2,00,100 m2
= 200100/10000 hectares
= 20.01 hectares
7
Answer
Area of roads = Area of PQRS + Area of EFGH – Area of KLMN
[∵ KLMN is taken twice, which is to be subtracted]
= PS x PQ + EF x EH – KL x KN
= (60 x 3) + (90 x 3) – (3 x 3)
= 180 + 270 – 9 = 441 m2
(ii) The cost of 1 m2 constructing the roads = Rs. 110
The cost of 441 m2 constructing the roads = Rs. 110 x 441 = Rs. 48,510
Therefore, the cost of constructing the roads = Rs. 48,510

Answer
Area of shaded portion = Area of rectangle ABCD – (Area of ΔFAE + area of ΔEBC)
= (AB x BC) – (1/2 x AE x AF + 1/2 x BE x BC)
= (18 x 10) – (1/2 x 10 x 6 + 1/2 x 8 x 10)
= 180 – (30 + 40)
= 180 – 70 = 110 cm2
(ii) Here, SR = SU + UR = 10 + 10 = 20 cm, QR = 20 cm
PQ = SR = 20 cm, PT = PS – TS = 20 – 10 cm
TS = 10 cm, SU = 10 cm, QR = 20 cm and UR = 10 cm
Area of shaded region
= Area of square PQRS – Area of ΔQPT – Area of ΔTSU – Area of ΔUQR
= (SR x QR) - 1/2 x PQ x PT – 1/2 x ST x SU – 1/2x UQ x QR
= 20 x 20 – 1/2 x 20 x 10 – 1/2 x 10 x 10 – 1/2 x 20 x 10
= 400 – 100 – 50 – 100 = 150 cm2

Answer
Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔADC
= 1/2 x AC x BM + 1/2 x AC x DN
= 1/2 x 22 x 3 + 1/2 x 22 x 3
= 3 x 11 + 3 x 11
= 33 + 33
= 66 cm2
Thus, the area of quadrilateral ABCD is 66 cm2.
