Q8: To determine the amount of material needed to cover a square-shaped frame, Rohan needs to calculate the area of the frame.
Ans: False

To cover the border of a square-shaped frame, Rohan needs to calculate the perimeter, not the area. The perimeter will give the total length of the border material needed. The area of the frame would give the total space covered by the frame, not the length of the border material.

Answer the following Questions

Q10: Which of the following figure has a greater perimeter?
Ans:
(i) Perimeter of the square = 4 x side
= 4 x 4 cm = 16 cm
(ii) Perimeter of the rectangle
= 2 [length + breadth]
= 2[8 cm + 3 cm]
= 2 x 11 cm = 22 cm
Since 22 cm > 16 cm
∴ Rectangle has greater perimeter than the square. 

Q11: Find the total distance covered by an athlete in taking 2 rounds of a rectangular park of length 150 m and breadth 80 m.

Ans:
Given the breadth of the rectangular park b= 80m and Length l= 150 m
The perimeter of the park =2 (b+l) =2×( 80 +150) = 2× 230 = 460m
Given: The athlete takes 2 rounds around the rectangular park
So, the total distance covered by the athlete = 2× 460 m = 920 m

Q12: A tailor wants to put lace around a square tablecloth of side 20 cm. He bought 1 m lace from the market. Find the length of lace left with him after completing the task.

Ans:  Side = 20cm
Perimeter of Square: S X 4 = 20 X 4 = 80 cm
Length of cloth = 1m = 100 cm
Cloth left: 100 - 80 = 20cm 

Q13:  The length of a rectangular park is 50 m and its area is 650 m2. Find its breadth.

Ans: Length=50m

Area=650 m

So, According to the question:
Area of rectangle= Length x Breadth
650=50 x Breadth

=50 x Breadth=650

Breadth=650/50

=Breadth=13m

Q14: Find the number of square tiles required to cover the floor of a room whose length is 4 m and width 3 m, if each square tile is of side 0.2 m.

Ans: To find the number of square tiles required to cover the floor of a room, we need to first determine the area of the room in square meters. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:

Area = Length x Width

In this case, the length of the room is 4 m and the width is 3 m, so the area of the room is 4 x 3 = 12 sq m.

Next, we need to determine the area of a single square tile. The area of a square is given by the formula:

Area = Side X 2

In this case, the side of the square tile is 0.2 m, so the area of a single tile is 0.2 X 2 = 0.04 sq m.

To find the number of tiles required to cover the floor of the room, we can divide the area of the room by the area of a single tile:

12 sq m / 0.04 sq m = 300 tiles

Therefore, the number of square tiles required to cover the floor of the room is 300 tiles. 

Q15: Two equal sides of an isosceles triangle measure 10 cm each. Find the length of its third side if its perimeter is 32 cm.

Ans:

Perimeter of the triangle = sum of all the sides of it

32 = 10 + 10 + x

(let the third side be x)

32 = 20 + x

x = 32 - 20

x = 12cm

Q16:  A piece of string is 60 cm long. What will be the length of each side if the string is used to form :
(a) a square
(b) an equilateral triangle
(c) a regular pentagon

Ans:
(a) Length of wire=60cm

Since,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.

Q17:  A farmer's rectangular garden is adjacent to his house, (as shown in the figure).
The rectangular garden is 200 m long and 150 m wide. Find the cost of fencing three sides of this garden at the rate of  12 per meter.

Ans:
Length of garden = 200m 
Breadth of garden = 150m 

Cost of fencing = 12 per meter

We have to fence only 3 sides = L+L+B 
200+200+150 = 550m
Cost of Fencing = 550m = 550 x 12 = 6600 rs

Q18:  Find the perimeter of each of the following figures : (The measures are given in cm)

Ans:
(a) Perimeter = sum of all sides
5+ 1+ 2+ 2+ 2+1+5+1+2+2+2+1 = 26 cm

(b) Perimeter = sum of all sides
1+1+1+1+1+ 2+1+1+1+1+1+6 = 18 cm

(c)  Perimeter = sum of all sides 
13+5+12 = 30 cm

Q19: Find the area of each of the following figures : (The measures are given in cm)

Ans: (a) 

There are 3 rectangles in the picture  and 5  squares
Area of one rectangle= l x b = 4X 

Side of square = 1 

Sides of rectangle = length = 1 and Breadth = 3

3x1= 3
No of the rectangles are 3
3x area of one rectangle = 3x3= 9

Area of square = Side² = 1X1 = 1

No of squares 5 = 5 x 1= 5 
Total Area = 9+5 = 14 sq.cm

(b) 

No of squares = 8
Area of one square = 1X 1= 1
Area of all squares = 8 x 1 = 8 sq.cm

(c)

Area rectangle 1  = l x b = 3 X 1= 3
Area of  Reactangle = l x b  = 4 x 1 = 4
Total area = 3+4 = 7 sq. cm

Q20: Fencing the compound of a house costs ₹5452. If the rate is ₹94 per metre, find the perimeter of the compound. If the breadth is 10 m, find its length.

Ans:

Cost of fencing the compound = ₹5452

and the rate of fencing = ₹94 per metre

∴ Perimeter of the compound = 5452 ÷ 94 = 58 metres

Now breadth of the compound = 10 m.

2 [length + breadth] = 58 m

∴ length + breadth = 58 + 2 m = 29 m

∴ Length of the compound = 29 m – 10 m = 19 m.
