Perimeter = Sum of all the sides 
Perimeter of a triangle = a+b+c
Here a = 4cm , b = 6cm , c =10cm
(6+4+5)cm=15cm
So option A is the correct answer. 

A rectangular garden has a length of 12 meters and a width of 8 meters. What is the perimeter of the garden?

  • d)
    56 meters
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Wizius Careers answered
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * (Length + Width)
Given: Length = 12 meters Width = 8 meters
Perimeter = 2 * (12 meters + 8 meters) Perimeter = 2 * (20 meters) Perimeter = 40 meters
So, the perimeter of the garden is 40 meters.

Understanding the Area of a Parallelogram
The formula for calculating the area of a shape is crucial in geometry, especially for various polygons. One prominent formula is:
Area = Base × Height
This formula specifically applies to the area of a parallelogram. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
1. Definition of Parallelogram
- A parallelogram is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) where opposite sides are parallel and equal in length.
2. Components of the Formula
- Base: The length of one side of the parallelogram, which is considered the bottom side.
- Height: The perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side. It is important that height is measured at a right angle to the base.
3. Why Other Options Are Incorrect
- Area of Square: The area is calculated using the formula Side × Side.
- Area of Quadrilateral: There isn't a single formula for all quadrilaterals; the area can vary based on the shape.
- Area of Trapezium: The formula is (Base1 + Base2) × Height / 2, which is different from the parallelogram's formula.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option 'A' as the formula Base × Height accurately represents the area of a parallelogram. Understanding these distinctions helps in accurately calculating areas of different shapes in geometry.

A wire bent in the form of a circle of radius 42 cm is again bent in the form of a square. What is the ratio of the regions enclosed by the circle and the square?
  • a)
    11:12
  • b)
    21:33
  • c)
    22:33
  • d)
    14:11
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Prateek Sharma answered
Length of wire = 2π × 42 = 84πcm
Let x be the side of the square. We have,  4x = 84π ⇒ x = 21π
Area of the circle: Area of the square 
= π(42)2:(21π)2 
= 4:π = 4:22/7 = 14:11

The Concept of Perimeter
The perimeter is a fundamental concept in geometry that refers to the total distance around a two-dimensional shape. Understanding the perimeter is essential for various applications, including architecture, landscaping, and even in banking when calculating land or property boundaries.
Definition of Perimeter
- The perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a polygon.
- For regular shapes like squares and rectangles, specific formulas can be used to calculate the perimeter easily.
How to Calculate Perimeter
- For a rectangle:
- Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
- For a square:
- Perimeter = 4 * side
- For a triangle:
- Perimeter = side1 + side2 + side3
- For a circle (circumference):
- Perimeter = 2 * π * radius
Importance of Perimeter
- Real-World Applications: Knowing the perimeter helps in planning and design, such as fencing a yard or laying out a garden.
- Measurement Skills: Understanding perimeter reinforces basic mathematical skills and promotes spatial awareness.
- Banking Relevance: In banking, accurate perimeter measurements can influence property valuations and investment decisions.
In summary, the perimeter is the total distance around a two-dimensional object, making option 'A' the correct answer. Understanding this concept is crucial across various fields, emphasizing its practical importance in both daily life and professional contexts.

The area of triangle is
  • a)
    (1/2) × base × height
  • b)
    (1/2)× (base + height)
  • c)
    base ´ height
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?


Area of Triangle Calculation:

To calculate the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:

(1/2) × base × height

This formula is derived by multiplying the base of the triangle by the height of the triangle and then dividing the result by 2. This is because the area of a triangle is always half of the product of its base and height.

Example:

Let's say you have a triangle with a base of 6 units and a height of 4 units.
Using the formula: (1/2) × 6 × 4 = 12 square units.

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 12 square units.

Conclusion:

The correct formula for calculating the area of a triangle is:
(1/2) × base × height

This formula is widely used and accepted for determining the area of a triangle in various mathematical and practical applications.

Shreya answered
Becoz area of rectangle=length×breadth..so,if we have to find length of a rectangle then the equation is Length=Area/breadth (by cross-multiplication).....

The circular grass lawn of radius 35 m has a path of width 7 m around it on the outside. What is the area of the path?
  • a)
    1496m2
  • b)
    1450m2
  • c)
    1576m
  • d)
    1694m2​
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Indu Gupta answered

r = 35 m; R = 35+7=42 m
Formula for area of a circle:
Area = πr²
Area of inner circle:
Area = 22/7 × 35²
35² = 1225
Area = 22/7 × 1225 = 22 × 175 = 3850 m²
Area of outer circle:
Area = 22/7 × 42²
42² = 1764
Area = 22/7 × 1764 = 22 × 252 = 5544 m²
Area of path = Area of outer circle -Area of inner circle 
Area of path = 5544 − 3850 = 1694m2

If the area of a circle is 2464 m2, find its diameter,
  • a)
    56m
  • b)
    154m
  • c)
    176m
  • d)
    206m
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the diameter of a circle with an area of 2464 m2:
We start with the formula for the area of a circle:
  • Area = π r2, where r is the radius.
  • We can express the area in terms of diameter dArea = π (d/2)2.
Given the area:
  • Area = 2464 m2
  • Using the formula: π (d/2)2 = 2464
Substituting π with 22/7:
  • 22/7 * (d/2)2 = 2464
  • Multiply both sides by 4: d2 = 2464 * 4 * 7 / 22
Calculating:
  • d2 = 2464 * 4 * 7 / 22
  • After calculating, we find d = 56 m.
Thus, the diameter of the circle is 56 m.

  • a)
    150
  • b)
    100
  • c)
    400
  • d)
    600
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Praveen Kumar answered
We know Area of a triangle is bxh/2
where b is base and h is height
Given that base is 10 cm  and height is 30 cm
Area of a triangle 10 cm x 30 cm / 2
= 300 cm2/2     
= 150 cm2
So option A is the correct answer. 
 

A wall hanging is in the shape given in the figure. Find its perimeter. 
  • a)
    176 cm
  • b)
    146 cm
  • c)
    44cm
  • d)
    88cm
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Abhay Menon answered
The perimeter of the wall hanging is given by the sum of circumferences of the 4 semicircles −4 x diameter. Clearly, the diameter of each semicircle is 14 cm. The required perimeter 
= 2 × circumference of circle of radius 7 cm. 
= 2×2 × 22/7 × 7 = 88cm

In the following figure, ABCD is a parallelogram. DL⊥AB and AB =13 cm = AD . If the area of parallelogram is 156 cm2, find AL. 
  • a)
    5cm
  • b)
    6cm
  • c)
    7cm
  • d)
    8cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Abhay Menon answered
We have, area =156 cm2 
⇒ b×h = 156 
AB×DL=156 
DL = 156/AB =156/13 = 12cm
In right ΔADL, AD2=DL2+LA2
AL2=AD2−DL2=132−12= 25
∴ AL = =5cm

Find the breadth of a rectangular plot of land, if its area is 440 m2 and the length is 22 m.
  • a)
    20 m
  • b)
    5 m
  • c)
    15 m
  • d)
    10 m
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Wizius Careers answered
The formula for the area of a rectangle is given by:
Area=Length×Breadth
In this case, the area is given as 440 m² and the length is given as 22 m. Let's denote the breadth as B. The formula can be rearranged to solve for the breadth:
Breadth=Area/Length
Substitute the given values:
Breadth=440 m2/22 m
Breadth=20 m
