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.

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?

Understanding the Park's Dimensions
The park is a square, which means all four sides are equal. Given that the side length is 50 m, we can calculate the perimeter.
Calculating the Perimeter
The perimeter (P) of a square can be calculated using the formula:
P = 4 × side length
Substituting the given side length:
P = 4 × 50 m = 200 m
This means that one complete round around the park covers 200 meters.
Calculating the Total Distance for Two Rounds
To find the distance covered by Usha when she takes two rounds, we simply multiply the perimeter by 2:
Total Distance = 2 × Perimeter
Substituting the perimeter we calculated earlier:
Total Distance = 2 × 200 m = 400 m
Thus, Usha would cover a total distance of 400 meters after completing two rounds around the park.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'C', which states that the distance covered by Usha is 400 m.

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.

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?

Abhay Datta answered
Understanding the Problem
To find the length of the rectangular garden, we need to use the given information:
- Perimeter = 60 m
- Width = 10 m
Formula for Perimeter
The formula for the perimeter (P) of a rectangle is:
- P = 2 * (Length + Width)
Substituting the Known Values
We can substitute the known values into the perimeter formula:
- 60 = 2 * (Length + 10)
Simplifying the Equation
1. Divide both sides by 2:
- 30 = Length + 10
2. Now, isolate Length:
- Length = 30 - 10
Calculating the Length
- Length = 20 m
Conclusion
Based on the calculations, the length of the garden is 20 m.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'C'.

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?

Rahul Kumar answered
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (Length + Breadth). Given 20 cm = 2 × (6 cm + Breadth). Solving for Breadth, Breadth = (20 cm / 2) - 6 cm = 4 cm.

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.

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.
