Exercise 10.3

Q1. Find the areas of the rectangles whose sides are:
(a) 3 cm and 4 cm
(b) 12 m and 21 m
(c) 2 km and 3 km
(d) 2 m and 70 cm
Ans:
(a) Area of rectangle = length x breadth
= 3 cm x 4 cm = 12 cm
(b) Area of rectangle = length x breadth
= 12 m x 21 m = 252 m

(c) Area of rectangle = length x breadth
= 2 km x 3 km = 6 km

(d) Area of rectangle = length x breadth
= 2 m x 70 cm
= 2 m x 0.7 m = 1.4 m


Q2. Find the areas of the squares whose sides are:
(a) 10 cm
(b) 14 cm
(c) 5 m
Ans:
(a) Area of square = side x side = 10 cm x 10 cm = 100 cm2
(b) Area of square = side x side = 14 cm x 14 cm = 196 cm2
(c) Area of square = side x side = 5 m x 5 m = 25 m2


Q3. The length and breadth of three rectangles are as given below:
(a) 9 m and 6 m
(b) 17 m and 3 m
(c) 4 m and 14 m
Which one has the largest area and which one has the smallest?
Ans: 
(a) Area of rectangle = length x breadth = 9 m x 6 m = 54 m
(b) Area of rectangle = length x breadth= 3 m x 17 m = 51 m
(c) Area of rectangle = length x breadth= 4 m x 14 m = 56 m
Thus, the rectangle (c) has largest area, and rectangle (b) has smallest area.


Q4. The area of a rectangular garden 50 m long is 300 sq m. Find the width of the garden.
Ans:Length of rectangle = 50 m and Area of rectangle = 300 m2
Since, Area of rectangle = length x breadth
Therefore, NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths - Mensuration (Exercise 10.2 and 10.3)
Thus, the breadth of the garden is 6 m.


Q5. What is the cost of tiling a rectangular plot of land 500 m long and 200 m wide at the rate of Rs 8 per hundred sq m?
Ans: Length of land = 500 m and Breadth of land = 200 m
Area of land = length x breadth = 500 m x 200 m = 1,00,000 m2
Cost of tilling 100 sq. m of land = 8
∴ Cost of tilling 1,00,000 sq. m of land =  NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths - Mensuration (Exercise 10.2 and 10.3) =  8000


Q6. A table-top measures 2 m by 1 m 50 cm. What is its area in square metres?
Ans: Length of table = 2 m
Breadth of table = 1 m 50 cm = 1.50 m
Area of table = length x breadth
= 2 m x 1.50 m = 3 m2


Q7. A room is 4 m long and 3 m 50 cm wide. How many square metres of carpet is needed to cover the floor of the room?
Ans: Length of room = 4 m
Breadth of room = 3 m 50 cm = 3.50 m
Area of carpet = length x breadth
= 4 x 3.50 = 14m2


Q8: A floor is 5 m long and 4 m wide. A square carpet of sides 3 m is laid on the floor. Find the area of the floor that is not carpeted.
Ans: Length of floor = 5 m and breadth of floor = 4 m
Area of floor = length x breadth
= 5 m x 4 m = 20 m2 Now, Side of square carpet = 3 m
Area of square carpet = side x side = 3 x 3 = 9 m2
Area of floor that is not carpeted = 20 m2 – 9 m2 = 11 m2


Q9. Five square flower beds each of sides 1 m are dug on a piece of land 5 m long and 4 m wide. What is the area of the remaining part of the land?
Ans: Side of square bed = 1 m
Area of square bed = side x side = 1 m x 1 m = 1 m2
∴ Area of 5 square beds = 1 x 5 = 5 m2
Now, Length of land = 5 m
Breadth of land = 4 m
∴ Area of land = length x breadth = 5 m x 4 m = 20 m2
Area of remaining part = Area of land – Area of 5 flower beds
= 20 m2 – 5 m2 = 15 m2
