All questions of Perimeter and Area for Class 6 Exam

Akshi wants to put lace around a rectangular tablecloth that is 5 m long and 3 m wide. What is the length of the lace required?
  • a)
    15 m
  • b)
    8 m
  • c)
    10 m
  • d)
    16 m
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Kumar answered
The perimeter of the rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all sides. Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width) = 2 × (5 m + 3 m) = 2 × 8 m = 16 m. So, the lace required is 16 m.

A square park has a side length of 50 m. What is the distance covered by Usha if she takes two rounds of the park?
  • a)
    100 m
  • b)
    200 m
  • c)
    400 m
  • d)
    600 m
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Dr Manju Sen answered
The perimeter of a square is 4 × side length. Therefore, for one round, the distance is 4 × 50 m = 200 m. For two rounds, the distance is 200 m × 2 = 400 m.

The area of a rectangular sheet of paper is 20 cm2. Its length is 5 cm. Find its width.
  • a)
    1 cm
  • b)
    2 cm
  • c)
    3 cm
  • d)
    4 cm.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Dr Manju Sen answered
Step 1: Use the formula for the area of a rectangle.
The formula for the area A of a rectangle is:
A = Length × Width
Step 2: Rearrange the formula to solve for the width.
The width can be calculated by:
Width = A / Length
Step 3: Substitute the given values.
Substitute the given area and length:
Width = 20 / 5 = 4 cm
The width of the sheet of paper is 4 cm.

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 36 m and the length is 10 m, what is the width?
  • a)
    4 m
  • b)
    8 m
  • c)
    6 m
  • d)
    9 m
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (Length + Width). Given 36 m = 2 × (10 m + Width). Solving for Width, we get Width = (36 m / 2) - 10 m = 6 m.

A rectangular garden has a perimeter of 60 m and a width of 10 m. What is the length of the garden?
  • a)
    10 m
  • b)
    15 m
  • c)
    20 m
  • d)
    30 m
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Coachify answered
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (Length + Width). Given 60 m = 2 × (Length + 10 m). Solving for Length, we get Length = (60 m / 2) - 10 m = 20 m.

A rectangle has a length of 15 m and a perimeter of 50 m. What is the breadth of the rectangle?
  • a)
    10 m
  • b)
    5 m
  • c)
    20 m
  • d)
    25 m
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (Length + Breadth). Given 50 m = 2 × (15 m + Breadth). Solving for Breadth, we get Breadth = 25 m / 2 = 5 m.

What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 4 cm?
  • a)
    8 cm
  • b)
    12 cm
  • c)
    16 cm
  • d)
    20 cm
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by 4. So, Perimeter = 4 × 4 cm = 16 cm.

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 20 cm and its length is 6 cm, what is its breadth?
  • a)
    2 cm
  • b)
    4 cm
  • c)
    6 cm
  • d)
    8 cm
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Problem
To find the breadth of the rectangle given its perimeter and length, we start with the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
- Perimeter (P) = 2 * (Length + Breadth)
In this case, we know:
- Perimeter = 20 cm
- Length = 6 cm
Step-by-Step Calculation
1. Substituting the Known Values:
- Substitute the given values into the perimeter formula:
- 20 = 2 * (6 + Breadth)
2. Simplifying the Equation:
- Divide both sides by 2 to simplify:
- 10 = 6 + Breadth
3. Finding the Breadth:
- Rearranging the equation to solve for Breadth:
- Breadth = 10 - 6
- Breadth = 4 cm
Conclusion
Thus, the breadth of the rectangle is 4 cm.
Answer Options Recap
- a) 2 cm
- b) 4 cm (Correct answer)
- c) 6 cm
- d) 8 cm
This confirms that option 'B' is indeed the correct answer. By breaking down the problem step-by-step, we effectively determined the breadth of the rectangle.

The perimeter of the figure
  • a)
    20 cm
  • b)
    10 cm
  • c)
    24 cm
  • d)
    15 cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the perimeter of the given figure, we need to add the lengths of all the sides:
The sides are given as: 3 cm, 4 cm, 6 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm.
Now, add them together:
3 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 20 cm
The perimeter of the figure is 20 cm.
