Q51Written answer

A magazine charges Rs 300 per $10 sqcm$ area for advertising. A company decided to order a half-page advertisement. If each page of the magazine is $15 cm \times$ $24 cm$, what amount will the company has to pay for it?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Area of one page of the magazine $=15 cm \times 24 cm =360$ $cm ^{2}$

Than,area of half page of the magazine $=\dfrac{360}{2} cm ^{2}=180 cm ^{2}$

Cost of advertising for $10 cm ^{2}=$ Rs.300

Cost of advertising for $1 cm ^{2}=\dfrac{Rs.300}{10}$

Cost of advertising for $180 cm ^{2}$=$\text { Rs. } \dfrac{300}{10} \times 180$

$=\text { Rs. } 30 \times 180=\text { Rs. } 5400$


Q52Written answer

The perimeter of a square garden is $48 m$. A small flower bed covers the $18 sqm$ area inside this garden. What is the area of the garden that is not covered by the flower bed? What fractional part of the garden is covered by the flower bed? Find the ratio of the area covered by the flower bed and the remaining area.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Given perimeter of the square garden $=48 m =4 \times$ side

$\text { side }=\dfrac{48}{4} =12 m$

Now,area of square garden$=Side\times Side=12\times 12=144 m ^{2}$

Also,given area of small flower bed $=18 m ^{2}$

Than,area of the garden not covers with flower bed$=144-18=126 m ^{2}$

Now,the fractional part of the garden covered by the flower bed $=\dfrac{\text { Area of flower bed }}{\text { Area of the square garden }}=\dfrac{18}{144}=\dfrac{1}{8}$

In addition,the ratio of the area covered by the flower bed and the remaining area $=\dfrac{18}{126}=\dfrac{1}{7} \quad$ i.e. $1: 7$


Q53Written answer

The perimeter of a square and a rectangle is the same.If a side of the square is $15 cm$ and one side of the rectangle is $18 cm$, find the area of the rectangle.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Given,side of the square = $15 cm$ ,length of the rectangle=$18 cm$

According to the question

Also given,perimeter of the square $=$ perimeter of the rectangle=$4 \times \text { sides }=2 \times(\text { length }+\text { breadth })$

$4 \times 15  =2 \times(18  + breadth )$

$60 =2 \times(18 + breadth )$

$breadth =30-18 =12 cm$

Now,area of the rectangular $=18 \times 12=216 cm ^{2}$

Area of square =${15}^{2}cm ^{2}=225cm ^{2}$


Q54Written answer

A wire is cut into several small pieces. Each of the small pieces is bent into a square of side $2 cm$. If the total area of the small squares is 28 square $cm$, what was the original length of the wire?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans:Given,square of side= $2 cm$

Length of one piece $=$ Perimeter of the square $=4 \times 2 cm =8 cm$

Let the number of pieces = $n$

According to the question

$n \times(\text { side })^{2}=28$

$n \times(2)^{2}=28$

$n=\dfrac{28}{4}=7$

The original length of the wire $=\text { Number of pieces } \times \text { length of one piece }$

$=7 \times 8=56 cm$


Q55Written answer

Divide the park shown in Fig. 14 of question 40 into two rectangles. Find the total area of this park. If one packet of fertilizer is used for $300 sqm$, how many packets of fertilizer are required for the whole park?

Total area of the park $=(150 \times 100)+(270 \times 180)$

$=15000+48600=63600 m ^{2}$

Now one packet of fertilizer used for area $=300 m ^{2}$

Than, number of total packets$=\dfrac{63600}{300}$ $=212$


Q56Written answer

The area of a rectangular field is $1600 sqm$. If the length of the field is $80 m$, find the perimeter of the field.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Given, area of a rectangular field $=1600 m ^{2}$

And length $=80 m$

Now, area $=length \times breadth$

$80 \times breadth =1600$

$breadth =\dfrac{1600}{80}$

$=20 m$

Now, perimeter of rectangular field $=2(length+breadth)$

$=2(80+20)=200 m$


Q57Written answer

The area of each square on a chess board is $4 sqcm$. Find the area of the board.

(a) At the beginning of the game when all the chess men are put on the board, write the area of the squares left unoccupied.

(b) Find the area of the squares occupied by chess men.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Given,the area of the square on a chess board $=4cm^{2}$

There are 64 squares on a chess board.

So,area of the chess board $=64 \times 4 sq cm =256 cm ^{2}$

Area of the squares left unoccupied in the beginning$=32 \times$ area of  a square$=32 \times 4 =128 cm ^{2}$

Ans: Area of the squares occupied by chessmen$=32 \times$ area of one square$=32 \times 4=128 cm ^{2}$


Q58Written answer

(a) Find all the possible dimensions (in natural numbers) of a rectangle with a perimeter $36 cm$ and find their areas.

(b) Find all the possible dimensions (in natural numbers) of a rectangle with an area of $36 sqcm$, and find their perimeters.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: Perimeter of the rectangle $=36 cm$

$2 \times(\text { length }+\text { breadth })=36 cm$
