The length and breadth of a rectangular piece of land are 500 m and 300 m respectively. Find:
(i) Its area.
(ii) The cost of the land, if 1 mof the land costs Rs. 10,000.

Answer

Given: Length of a rectangular piece of land = 500 m and
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 mland = Rs. 10,000
Therefore, the cost of 1,50,000 m2 land = 10,000 x 1,50,000
= Rs. 1,50,00,00,000

The perimeter of a rectangular sheet is 100 cm. If the length is 35 cm, find its breadth. Also find the area.

Answer

Perimeter of the rectangular sheet = 100 cm
⇒ 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 cmrespectively.

A wire is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 40 cm and breadth is 22 cm. If the same wire is rebent in the shape of a square, what will be the measure of each side. Also find which shape encloses more area?

Answer

According to the question,
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.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 130 cm. If the breadth of the rectangle is 30 cm, find its length. Also, find the area of the rectangle.

Answer

Perimeter of rectangle = 130 cm
⇒ 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.

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 Rs. 20 perm2.

Answer

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 = 14.2m2
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.

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 isosceles with AB = AC = 7.5 cm and BC = 9 cm. The height AD from A to BC, is 6 cm. Find the area of ΔABC. What will be the height from C to AB i.e., CE?
 

Answer

In ΔABC, AD = 6 cm and BC = 9 cm
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.

A gardener wants to fence a circular garden of diameter 21 m. Find the length of the rope he needs to purchase, if he makes 2 rounds of fence. Also, find the costs of the rope, if it cost Rs. 4 per meter. (Take π = 22/7)

Answer

Diameter of the circular garden = 21 m
∴ 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

Saima wants to put a lace on the edge of a circular table cover of diameter 1.5 m. Find the length of the lace required and also find its cost if one meter of the lace costs Rs. 15. (Take π = 3.14)

Answer

Answer: Diameter of the circular table cover = 1.5 m
∴ 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.

Shazli took a wire of length 44 cm and bent it into the shape of a circle. Find the radius of that circle. Also find its area. If the same wire is bent into the shape of a square, what will be the length of each of its sides? Which figure encloses more area, the circle or the square? (Take π = 22/7)

Answer

Total length of the wire = 44 cm
∴ 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.

= 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.

How many times a wheel of radius 28 cm must rotate to go 352 m? (Take π = 22/7)

Answer

Let wheel must be rotate nn times of its circumference.
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.

A garden is 90 m long and 75 m broad. A path 5 m wide is to be built outside and around it. Find the area of the path. Also find the area of the garden in hectares.
 

Answer

Length of rectangular garden = 90 m and breadth of rectangular garden = 75 m
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

A 3 m wide path runs outside and around a rectangular park of length 125 m and breadth 65 m. Find the area of the path.
 

Answer

Length of rectangular park = 125 m, breadth of rectangular park = 65 m and width of the path = 3 m
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.

Length of painted cardboard = 8 cm and breadth of painted card = 5 cm
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.

A verandah of width 2.25 m is constructed all along outside a room which is 5.5 m long and 4 m wide. Find:
(i) the area of the verandah.
(ii) the cost of cementing the floor of the verandah at the rate of Rs. 200 per m2.

Answer

(i) The length of room = 5.5 m and width of the room = 4 m
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

A path 1 m wide is built along the border and inside a square garden of side 30 m. Find:
(i) the area of the path.
(ii) the cost of planting grass in the remaining portion of the garden at the rate of Rs. 40 per m2.

Answer

(i) Side of the square garden = 30 m and width of the path along the border = 1 m

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 m
2
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

Two cross roads, each of width 10 m, cut at right angles through the centre of a rectangular park of length 700 m and breadth 300 m and parallel to its sides. Find the area of the roads. Also find the area of the park excluding cross roads. Give the answer in hectares.

Answer

Here, PQ = 10 m and PS = 300 m, EH = 10 m and EF = 700 m
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

Through a rectangular field of length 90 m and breadth 60 m, two roads are constructed which are parallel to the sides and cut each other at right angles through the centre of the fields. If the width of each road is 3 m, find:
(i) the area covered by the roads.
(ii) the cost of constructing the roads at the rate of Rs. 110 per m2.

Answer

(i) Here, PQ = 3 m and PS = 60 m, EH = 3 m and EF = 90 m and KL = 3 m and KN = 3 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
= (60 x 3) + (90 x 3) – (3 x 3)
= 180 + 270 – 9 = 441 m2

(ii) The cost of 1 m
2 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

Pragya wrapped a cord around a circular pipe of radius 4 cm (adjoining figure) and cut off the length required of the cord. Then she wrapped it around a square box of side 4 cm (also shown). Did she have any cord left? (Take π = 3.14)
Please change the figure of the question. 
 

Answer

Radius of pipe = 4 cm
Wrapping cord around circular pipe = 2πr
= 2 x 3.14 x 4 = 25.12 cm
Again, wrapping cord around a square = 4 x side = 4 x 4 = 16 cm
Remaining cord = Cord wrapped on pipe – Cord wrapped on square
= 25.12 – 16 = 9.12 cm
Thus, she has left 9.12 cm cord.

The adjoining figure represents a rectangular lawn with a circular flower bed in the middle. Find:
 
(i) the area of the whole land.
(ii) the area of the flower bed.
(iii) the area of the lawn excluding the area of the flower bed.
(iv) the circumference of the flower bed.

Answer

Length of rectangular lawn = 10 m, breadth of the rectangular lawn = 5 m
And radius of the circular flower bed = 2 m
(i) Area of the whole land = length x breadth = 10 x 5 = 50 m2

(ii) Area of flower bed = πr
2= 3.14 x 2 x 2 = 12.56 m2

(iii) Area of lawn excluding the area of the flower bed = Area of lawn – Area of flower bed
= 50 – 12.56 = 37.44 m2

(iv) The circumference of the flower bed = 2πr
= 2 x 3.14 x 2 = 12.56 m

In the following figures, find the area of the shaded portions:
 

Answer

(i) Here, AB = 18 cm, BC = 10 cm, AF = 6 cm, AE = 10 cm and BE = 8 cm
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

Find the area of the quadrilateral ABCD. Here, AC = 22 cm, BM = 3 cm, DN = 3 cm and BM ⊥ AC, DN ⊥ AC.

Answer

Here, AC = 22 cm, BM = 3 cm, DN = 3 cm
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.
