Devika Basak answered
To find the new perimeter of a square when its side is doubled, we need to first calculate the new side length of the square after doubling its original side length.

Given that the original side length of the square is 6 cm, we can find the new side length by multiplying the original side length by 2.

New side length = 6 cm * 2 = 12 cm

Now that we have the new side length, we can calculate the new perimeter of the square by multiplying the new side length by 4 (since a square has four equal sides).

New perimeter = 12 cm * 4 = 48 cm

Therefore, the correct answer is option A) 48 cm.

Surbhi Patel answered
Understanding the Room Dimensions
To determine how many tiles Bob needs, we first need to calculate the area of the room. The room has dimensions of 3 meters in width and 4 meters in length.
- Area of the Room:
- Area = Width x Length
- Area = 3 m x 4 m = 12 square meters
Calculating the Tile Dimensions
Next, we look at the dimensions of each square tile. Each tile has a side length of 0.5 meters.
- Area of One Tile:
- Area = Side x Side
- Area = 0.5 m x 0.5 m = 0.25 square meters
Determining the Number of Tiles
Now, we can find out how many tiles are required to cover the total area of the room.
- Total Number of Tiles Needed:
- Total Tiles = Area of the Room / Area of One Tile
- Total Tiles = 12 square meters / 0.25 square meters = 48 tiles
Conclusion
Bob will need a total of 48 tiles to cover the floor of the room completely. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C'.

Meera went to a park 150 m long and 80 m wide. She took one complete round on its boundary. What is the distance covered by her?
  • a)
    230 m
  • b)
    460 m
  • c)
    300 m
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?


Let ABCD is a park whose lengths are BC, AD and widths are AB, CD, respectively. Hence, AB = CD = 80 m. and BC = DA = 150m Now, the sum of the lengths of four sides 
=AB + BC + CD + DA
= 80 m + 150 m + 80 m + 150 m
= (80 + 150 + 80 + 150) m
=460 m
Perimeter of the park = sum of the lengths of four sides of the park = 460 m
Hence, distance covered by Meera is 460 m.

A wooden plank measures 6 m in length and 3 m in breadth. If five such wooden planks are arranged in order, what is the area occupied by them?
  • a)
    18 sq. m
  • b)
    90 sq. m
  • c)
    5 sq. m
  • d)
    95 sq. m
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Debolina Shah answered
The area occupied by the wooden planks can be calculated by multiplying the length and breadth of the arrangement. Given that each wooden plank measures 6 m in length and 3 m in breadth, we can determine the area occupied by five such wooden planks arranged in order as follows:

1. Calculate the area of a single wooden plank:
- Length = 6 m
- Breadth = 3 m
- Area = Length x Breadth = 6 m x 3 m = 18 sq. m

2. Determine the total area occupied by five wooden planks:
- As we have five wooden planks arranged in order, the total area would be the sum of the areas of each individual plank.
- Total area = 18 sq. m (area of a single plank) x 5 (number of planks) = 90 sq. m

Therefore, the area occupied by five wooden planks arranged in order is 90 square meters.

So, the correct answer is option B: 90 sq. m.

    10 cm2
  • d)
    15 cm2
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Praveen Kumar answered

Given: Perimeter of the square = 16 cm
To find: Area of the square
Let's assume that the length of one side of the square is 's'.
Step 1: Find the length of one side of the square
Perimeter of a square = 4 * s
Given that the perimeter is 16 cm, we can write the equation as:
4s = 16
Divide both sides by 4:
s = 16 / 4
s = 4 cm
Therefore, the length of one side of the square is 4 cm.
Step 2: Find the area of the square
Area of a square = s * s
Substitute the value of 's' we found earlier:
Area = 4 cm * 4 cm
Area = 16 cm2
Therefore, the area of the square is 16 cm2.
Answer: A) 16 cm2

**Area: The Amount of Surface Enclosed by a Closed Figure**

**Introduction**
When we talk about a closed figure, we are referring to a shape that has no openings or holes in it. Examples of closed figures include circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and many more. The amount of surface enclosed by these closed figures is called the area. It is a fundamental concept in geometry and represents the two-dimensional space within the boundaries of the shape.

**Definition of Area**
The area of a closed figure is the measure of the surface enclosed by its boundaries. It is expressed in square units, such as square centimeters (cm²), square inches (in²), or square meters (m²). The area provides information about the size of a shape, and it helps us compare and analyze different figures.

**Calculation of Area**
The method to calculate the area varies depending on the shape of the closed figure. Here are some formulas commonly used to find the area of different shapes:

1. Square: The area of a square is given by the formula A = side × side, where A represents the area and side represents the length of one side of the square.

2. Rectangle: The area of a rectangle is calculated as A = length × width, where A is the area, length is the length of the rectangle, and width is the width of the rectangle.

3. Circle: The area of a circle is determined using the formula A = πr², where A represents the area, π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159, and r is the radius of the circle.

4. Triangle: The area of a triangle can be found using the formula A = ½ × base × height, where A is the area, base is the length of the base of the triangle, and height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite vertex.

**Importance of Area**
Understanding the concept of area is crucial in various real-life scenarios. For instance:

1. Construction: Architects and builders need to calculate the area of rooms, floors, and land to plan and estimate resources accurately.

2. Agriculture: Farmers need to determine the area of their fields to manage irrigation, fertilizers, and crop yield.

3. Art and Design: Artists and designers consider the area of different elements to create visually appealing compositions.

4. Geometry and Mathematics: Area is a fundamental concept in geometry and plays a significant role in solving problems involving shapes and figures.

In conclusion, the amount of surface enclosed by a closed figure is referred to as the area. It is a measure of the two-dimensional space within the boundaries of a shape. The calculation of area varies depending on the shape, and it is expressed in square units. Understanding the concept of area is essential in various practical applications and mathematical contexts.
