Jaya Mukherjee answered
 
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.

The Concept of Area
The term "area" refers to the amount of surface enclosed within a closed plane figure. It is a fundamental concept in geometry, particularly relevant for various shapes like squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles.
Understanding Area
- Definition: Area is the measure of the space inside a shape. It quantifies the extent of a two-dimensional figure.
- Units of Measurement: Area is typically measured in square units (e.g., square meters, square centimeters). This indicates how many unit squares can fit within the figure.
- Applications: Knowing the area helps in practical situations, such as determining how much paint is needed to cover a wall or how much land is available for farming.
Comparison with Other Terms
- Perimeter: This is the total distance around the boundary of a figure. While area focuses on space within the shape, perimeter deals with the outline.
- Volume: Volume pertains to three-dimensional objects and measures the space occupied inside them. It is distinct from area, which strictly applies to two-dimensional figures.
Conclusion
Hence, the correct answer to the question is option 'A', Area, as it accurately describes the amount of surface within a closed plane figure. Understanding this concept is crucial for students in mathematics, as it lays the foundation for more complex topics in geometry and real-world applications.

A rectangle has a length of 12 cm and a breadth of 7 cm. What is its perimeter?
  • a)
    38 cm
  • b)
    24 cm
  • c)
    19 cm
  • d)
    60 cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Yashina Kapoor answered
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Breadth)
Substituting the given values:
Perimeter = 2 × (12 cm + 7 cm) = 2 × 19 cm = 38 cm

Perimeter of square = 160 cm, length of side of square = ________________
  • a)
    40cm
  • b)
    50cm
  • c)
    70cm
  • d)
    20cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Perimeter of a Square
The perimeter of a square is calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides. Since all sides of a square are equal, the formula to find the perimeter can be expressed as:
- Perimeter (P) = 4 × Length of one side (s)
Given Information
- The perimeter of the square is provided as 160 cm.
Calculating the Length of One Side
To find the length of one side of the square, we can rearrange the formula:
- Length of one side (s) = Perimeter (P) ÷ 4
Now, substituting the given perimeter:
- Length of one side (s) = 160 cm ÷ 4
Performing the Calculation
- Length of one side (s) = 40 cm
This calculation shows that the length of each side of the square is 40 cm.
Conclusion
- Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option 'A': 40 cm.
By understanding the relationship between the perimeter and the sides of a square, we can easily solve similar problems in the future. Always remember, the key is to know the formula and how to rearrange it as needed!

Which of the following has the formula : Base × Height
  • a)
    area of parallelogram
  • b)
    area of square
  • c)
    area of quadrilateral
  • d)
    area of trapezium
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

  • The area of a parallelogram is calculated as Base × Height.
  • This formula works because the height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.
  • Unlike triangles or trapeziums which require different calculations or coefficients, a parallelogram's area is directly obtained by multiplying its base by its height.
  • Thus, option 1 is the correct answer as per the provided solution.

The distance around a circular region is known as its_______.
  • a)
    Circumference
  • b)
    Area 
  • c)
    Volume 
  • d)
    None of the above 
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Praveen Kumar answered
- The distance around a circular region is known as its circumference.
- Circumference is the term used to describe the perimeter of a circle.

Calculate the area of rectangle given below if each square has an area of 4m2.
  • a)
    80m2
  • b)
    64m2
  • c)
    40m2
  • d)
    15m2
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Edu Impact answered
  • There are 2 squares in one row.
  • So, there are 2×5=10 squares in total and each square has an area of 4m2
  • So, the area of rectangle =2×5×4
  • = 40m2.

Find the area of a triangle with a base of 10 cm and a height of 30 cm
  • 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.
