Question 1. The perimeter of a square ABCD is twice the perimeter of ∆PQR. Find the area of the square ABCD.
Answer:
Perimeter of ∆PQR = 6 cm + 5 cm + 7 cm = 18 cm
Perimeter of square = 2 × 18 = 36 cm
Side of square = ?
4 × side = 36
⇒ Side = 36/4 = 9
Area of square = (side)2 = (9)2 = 9 × 9 = 81 cm2
Question 2. The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 42 cm. Find the perimeter of a square, each side of which is double the side of the triangle.
Answer:
Let the length of a side of the equilateral triangle and the square be l and L respectively.
Then, according to the given information, we have
Perimeter of equilateral triangle=42
⇒ l + l + l = 42
⇒ 3l = 42
⇒ l = 14.
So, the length of a side of the square will be
L = 2 × l = 2 × 14 = 28.
Therefore, the perimeter of the square is given by
Ps = 4L = 4 × 28 = 112
=4L = 4 × 28 = 112.
Thus, the required perimeter of the square is 112 cm.
Question 3. A wire of length 60 cm is cut into two pieces. One piece is used to form a rectangle of length 10 cm and width 8 cm. the other piece is bent into the shape of a regular hexagon. What is the length of each side of hexagon ?
Answer:
Length of wire = 60cm
After dividing it in to piece, one piece is used for making a rectangle.
Length of rectangle = 10cm, width = 8cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + B)
= 2(10+8)
= 2 x 18
= 36cm
Therefore, to make the rectangle, 36cm of wire is used of 60cm wire.
The remaining wire will be used to make a hexagon.
Therefore, Remaining wire = Total length – Used for rectangle
= 60 – 36
= 24
Therefore, 24cm wire will be used to make the hexagon.
To determine the side of hexagon,
Perimeter of hexagon = Remaining wire = 6 x side
24 = 6 x side
24 / 6 = side
4 = side
Therefore, if the string is to be bent to make a hexagon, the side should be 4cm.
Question 4. A wire is in the shape of a square of side 10 cm. If the wire is rebent into a rectangle of length 12 cm, find its breadth. Which encloses more area, the square or the rectangle and by how much?
Answer:
Side of square = 10 cm
Perimeter of square = 4 × 10 cm = 40 cm
According to question,
Perimeter of rectangular = 2(l + b)
⇒ 40 cm = 2 (12 cm + b)
⇒ 40 cm = 24 cm + 2b
⇒ 2b = 40 cm – 24 cm
⇒ 2b = 16 cm
⇒ b = 16/2 cm = 8 cm
Area of square = (a)2 = (10 cm)2 = 100 cm2
Area of rectangular = (l × b) = 12 × 8 = 96 cm2
Area of square is more and it is = 100 cm2 – 96 cm2 = 4 cm2
Question 5. A rectangular room is 9 m long and 6 m wide. Find the cost of covering the floor with carpet 2 m wide at ₹35 per metre.
Answer:
Length of room = 9m
Width of room = 6m
Area of room = l × b = 9 × 6 = 54 m2
Width of carpet = 2m
Area of carpet = 54 m2
Length = ?
Length of carpet = 54/2 = 27 m
Cost of covering = ₹35 × 27 m = ₹945
Question 6. If the cost of fencing a square plot at the rate of ₹ 2.50 per metre is ₹ 200, then find the length of each side of the field.
Answer:
Total cost of fencing a square plot = ₹200
Rate of fencing = ₹2.50
∴ Perimeter of square = Total cost/rate = 200/2.5 = 80m
Since, we know that,
Perimeter of square = 4a
⇒ 80 m = 4a
⇒ a = 20 m
∴ Length of a square plot = 20 m
Question 7. If the cost of fencing a rectangular park at the rate of ₹7.50 per metre is ₹600 and the length of the park is 24 m, find the breadth of the park.
Answer:
Cost of fencing a rectangular park = ₹600
Rate of fencing = ₹7.50
Perimeter of a park = Total cost/rate = 600/7.5 = 80m
Length of the park = 24 cm
Let breadth of the park = b
∴ Perimeter of a square = 80 m
⇒ 2(l + b) = 80 m
⇒ 2(24 + b) = 80 m
⇒ 24 + b = 80 m
⇒ b = 40 – 24 m
∴ b = 16 m
Question 8. By splitting the following figures into rectangle, find their areas (The measures are given in centimetres).
Answer:
(a) Area of the figure,
= (3 × 1 + 3 × 1 + 3 × 1) sq m
= (3 + 3 + 3) sq m
= 9 sq m
(b) Area of the figure,
= (3 × 3 + 1 × 2 + 3 × 3 + 4 × 2) sq cm
= (9 + 2 + 9 + 8) sq cm
= 28 sq cm
