Q23: A piece of string is 60 cm long. What will be the length of each side if the string is used to form : (3 marks)
(a) a square
(b) an equilateral triangle
(c) a regular pentagon
Ans:
(a) Length of wire=60cmSince,the wire is used to form a square, the length of wire becomes perimeter of the square.
Perimeter=60 cm
4 × side = 60 cm
60/4 = 15
Side =15 cm(b) Given
length of string=60cm
If the string is used to form an equilateral triangle then the perimeter of the triangle = length of the string
Let the side of the triangle be a
a + a+ a = 60
3a =60
3a = 60
a = 20cm(c) Given, regular pentagon(all sides equal)
perimeter= 5 × side = 60 cm
side = 12 cm.
Q24: The pictograph shows how many snowballs each child made. Use the pictograph to answer the given questions. (3 marks)
(i) How many snowballs did Alfredo make?
(ii) How many snowballs did Aaron make?
(iii) Name two people who made the same number of snowballs.
Ans: (i) There are 3 pictures in front of Alfredo. 1 snowflake represents 4 snowballs made.
So, Alfredo made 3x4 = 12 snowballs.(ii) There are 2 pictures in front of Aaron. 1 snowflake represents 4 snowballs made.
So, Aaron made 2x4 = 8 snowballs.(iii) Anna and Bailey made the same number of snowballs.
We can simply look at the number of snowflakes in front of each name and see that Anna and Bailey have same number of snowflakes drawn in front of their names.
There are 7 snowflakes which means 7x4 = 28. So, Anna and Bailey, both of them, made 28 snowballs each.
Q25: Find the perimeter of the shape given: (3 marks)
Ans: There are some missing lengths we need to work out first. We can look at the vertical lengths. The missing vertical lengths are 6 cm and 13 cm.
We can then look at the missing horizontal length. The missing side is 16 cm because 7+5+4=16.
Starting in the top left corner and going clockwise around the shape, we can add the sides together.
Q26: (a) Perform the operation 3 + (-4) using a number line.

Q27: A rectangular classroom has an area of 300 sq. m and a length of 25 m. What is the width of the classroom? (3 marks)
Ans: Given, area of the classroom = 300 sq. m
Length = 25 m
Area of a rectangle = length × width
⇒ 300 = 25 × width
⇒ width = 12 m
Q28: Can you find the pattern and fill in the missing numbers? Justify your answer. (3 marks)
Ans: Observing the sequence:
- 16 → 20 (+4)
- 20 → 24 (+4)
- 24 → 28 (+4)
continue the pattern:
- 28 + 4 = 32
- 32 + 4 = 36
- 36 + 4 = 40
Q29: A rectangular garden is 120 m long and 80 m wide. If the cost of fencing is ₹10 per meter, what is the total cost to fence the garden? (3 marks)
Ans: Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
= 2 × (120 + 80)
= 2 × 200
= 400 mTotal cost = 400 × 10
= ₹4,000
Q30: Suppose you start with ₹0 in your bank account, and then you have credits of ₹20, ₹35, and ₹45, and debits of ₹25, ₹40, and ₹50. What is your bank account balance now? (3 marks)
Ans: Here, Credits = ₹20 + ₹35 + ₹45 = ₹100
And Debits = ₹25 + ₹40 + ₹50 = ₹115∴ Balance = Credits – Debits
= ₹100 – ₹115
= – ₹15Therefore, your bank account balance is – ₹15.
