Concept Of Perimeter And Area

ANSWER:

We know: Perimeter of a rectangle = 2×(Length+Breadth)2×(Length+Breadth)

e
(i) Length = 16.8 cm
Breadth = 6.2 cm
Perimeter = 2×(Length+Breadth)2×(Length+Breadth)

ut
= 2×(16.8+6.2) =46 cm2×(16.8+6.2) =46 cm
(ii) Length = 2 m 25 cm
=(200+25) cm (1 m = 100 cm )

tit
= 225 cm
Breadth =1 m 50 cm
= (100+50) cm (1 m = 100 cm )
= 150 cm

s
Perimeter = 2×(Length+Breadth)2×(Length+Breadth)
= 2×(225+150) =750 cm2×(225+150) =750 cm
In
(iii) Length = 8 m 5 dm
= (80+5) dm (1 m = 10 dm )
= 85 dm
Breadth = 6 m 8 dm
sh

= (60+8) dm (1 m = 10 dm )
= 68 dm
Perimeter = 2×(Length+Breadth)2×(Length+Breadth)
= 2×(85+68) =306 dm2×(85+68) =306 dm

Length of the field = 62 m

Breadth of the field = 33 m
Perimeter of the field = 2(l + b) units
