(a) What is the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD?

(b) What is the area of the rectangle $A B C D$ ?

(d) Find the perimeter of each part which you have divided. Are they all equal?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans:Given that each square is of unit length,$ABCD$ is 10 units and breadth is 6 units

Perimeter of $ABCD = 2 \times($ length $+$ breadth $)$

$=2 \times(10+6)$ units $=2 \times 16$ units $=32$ units

Ans:Area of rectangle $ABCD =$ length $\times$ breadth

$(10 \times 6) \text { units }^{2}=60 \text { units }^{2}$

(c) Divide this rectangle into ten parts of the equal area by shading squares.

(Two parts of equal area are shown here)

Ans: The figure shows the part of the rectangle of the equal area by shading squares 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Ans: For 1,2,4,7,8 & 10 parts, Perimeter is 12 units.

For 3,5,6 & 9 Perimeter is 14 units.

No, they are not equal.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Area of square tile=$15\times 15$=225$cm^{2}$

Number of tile $=28$ square 

So, area of the wall $=(225 \times 28) cm ^{2}$ $=6300 cm ^{2}$


Q43Written answer

The length of a rectangular field is 6 times its breadth. If the length of the field is $120 cm$, find the perimeter of the field. 

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Given,Length ($L$)=120cm and breadth=$B$

Than,L=$6 B$ 

$B =\dfrac{120}{6} =20 cm$ 

Perimeter of the rectangle $=2 \times( L + B )$ 

$2 \times(120+20) =2 \times 140  =280 cm$


Q44Written answer

Anmol has a chart paper measuring $90 cm \times 40 cm$, whereas Abhishek has one which measures $50 cm \times 70 cm .$ Which will cover more area on the table and by how much? 

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: The area of the Anmol's chart paper =$(90 cm \times 40 cm )=3600 cm ^{2}$ 

The area of the Abhishek's chart paper= $(50 cm \times 70 cm )=3500 cm ^{2}$ 

So,Anmol will cover more area on the table and by how 100 cm $^{2}$. 


Q45Written answer

A rectangular path of $60 m$ length and $3 m$ width is covered by square tiles of side $25 cm$. How many tiles will there be in one row along its width? How many such rows will be there? Find the number of tiles used to make this path?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Given length ($L) =60 m =6000 cm$

Width($B)=3 m =300 cm$

Side of the square tile $=25 cm$

Number of tiles in one row along width

$\dfrac{\text { width of the path }}{\text { side of the a tile }}=\dfrac{300}{25}=12$

$\text {Number of the rows}=\dfrac{\text {length of the path}}{\text{side of a tile }}=\dfrac{6000}{25}=240$

Number of tiles=$12\times 240=2880$


Q46Written answer

How many square slabs each with side $90 cm$ are needed to cover a floor of area 81sqm.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Given,side of square slab=90cm

Area of square slab $=(90 cm )^{2}=8100 cm ^{2}$

And,area of the floor$=81 m ^{2}=81 \times 10000 cm ^{2}$

$=810000 cm ^{2}$

Number of slab=$\dfrac{\text { Area of the floor }}{\text { Area of square slab }}$

$=\dfrac{810000}{8100}=100 \text { slabs }$


Q47Written answer

The length of a rectangular field is $8 m$ and breadth is $2 m$. If a square field has the same perimeter as this rectangular field, find which field has the greater area.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Given,length(L)=8m

Width(B)=2m

Than,perimeter=$2(L+B)$=$2(8+2)=2\times 10=20m$

And,area=$L \times B$=$8 \times 2$=$16m^{2}$

According to the question

Perimeter=Perimeter of a rectangular

$4\times Side$=20

$Side=\dfrac{20}{4}$=$5m$

Now,area of square=$Side\times Side$=$5\times 5=25m^{2}$

Hence,the area of a square field is greater than the area of a rectangular field.


Q48Written answer

Parminder walks around a square park once and covers $800 m$. What will be the area of this park?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Given , perimeter of the square $=800 m =4 \times$ sides

$800 m =4 \times \text { sides }$

$\text { side }=\dfrac{800}{4} =200 m$

And area of square $=Side\times Side=(200 m )^{2}=40000 m ^{2}$


Q49Written answer

The side of a square is $5 cm$. How many times does the area increase, if the side of the square is doubled?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Given,side of square  $=5 cm$

Than,area of square $=Side\times Side=5\times 5=25 cm ^{2}$....(i)

According to the question

New side=$2\times old  side$

$=2\times 5=10cm$

Now,area of square $=10\times 10=100 cm ^{2}$

By,(i) and (ii) area of the new square is increased by 4 times.


Q50Written answer

Amita wants to make rectangular cards measuring $8 cm$ $\times 5 cm$. She has a square chart paper of $60 cm$. How many complete cards can she make from this chart? What area of the chart paper will be left?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Given,area of square chart=$60\times 60=3600cm^{2}$

Length of the chart is $60 cm$ and in that 7 cards of 8 cm length she can make and for width $60 cm$ she can make exactly 12 cards of length 5cm.

So total no. of cards $= 12 \times 7 =84$

And area of card=$8\times 5=40cm^{2}$

The area of left part of square chart$=3600 -(84\times 40)=240cm^{2}$
