Perimeter and Area - 01
Solution
1. Choose the correct option:
1. (d) 24 m
Explanation:
Perimeter of a square park of side 2 m = 4 × 2
= 8m
three rounds of the park = 3 × 8
= 24 m
2. (d) 500 m<sup>2</sup>
Explanation:
If the area of one rectangular box = 50 m2
The area of 10 boxes = 50 × 10
= 500 m2
3. (d) 2500
Explanation:
Let the number of required tiles be n.
= = 2500
4. (a) 9cm<sup>2</sup>
Explanation:
side of square = 3 cm
Area of square piece of a tissue paper= (side)2
= (3)2 = 9 cm2
5. (d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation:
It's breadth is 6 m.
2. Fill in the blanks with suitable words:
1. 1. Area
2. 2(l + b)
3. Breadth
3. State whether each of the following statement is True or False:

1. (a) True
Explanation: True
2. (a) True
Explanation: True
3. (a) True
Explanation: True
4. Answer the following questions:
1. There are two pieces which have the same area in this figure.
A and B have the same area.
C and E have the same area.
2. Given that length of a side = 70m
Perimeter of the square park = 4 × length of a side = 4 × 70 m = 280 m
Distance covered in one round = 280 m
Therefore, distance travelled in three rounds = 3 × 280m = 840m
3. Perimeter = 4 × side
= 4 × 3.6 cm
= 14.4 cm
5. Here, we have
Column A Column B
(i) Side = ?, perimeter of square = 16 cm 4(side) = 16 cm ⇒ side = 4 cm
(ii) Perimeter = ?, side = 10 cm Perimeter = 4(10 cm) = 40 cm
(iii) Perimeter = ?, l = 4 cm and b = 6 cm Perimeter = 2(4 + 6) cm = 20cm
(iv) L = ?, perimeter = 24 cm and b = 5 cm 24 cm = 2 (L + 5cm) ⇒ L = (12 - 5)cm = 7 cm
Therefore the matching is as follows;
(i) - (c)
(ii) - (a)
(iii) - (d)
(iv) - (b)
6. Answer the following questions:
1. Perimeter of square = Area of square
∵ 4a = a2
2
a
⇒ = 4
a
⇒ a=4
∴ each side of square = 4
2. Perimeter of the square park
= 4 × Length of a side
= 4 × (75 m)

= 300 m
Perimeter of the rectangular park
= 2 × (length + Breadth)
= 2 × (60 m + 45 m)
= 210 m
Since, the perimeter of the rectangular park is less than the perimeter of the square park, therefore, Bulbul covers less
distance.
7. Answer the following questions:
1. Let the breadth of the field = x m
∴ its length = 3x m
And, its perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth)
= 2 × (3x + x) = 2 × 4x = 8x m
∴ Distance covered in 1 round = 8x m
⇒ Distance covered in 6 rounds = 6 × 8x m = 48x m
∴ 48x = 6000 [∵ 6 km = 6 × 1000 m = 6000 m]
= 125
6000
⇒ x =
48
∴ The length of the rectangular field
= 3x m = 3 × 125 m = 375 m
2. Given that, Distance covered by Pinky in one round = Perimeter of the square
= 4 × length of a side
= 4 × 75 m = 300 m
Distance covered by Bob in one round = Perimeter of the rectangle
= 2 × (length + breadth)
= 2 × (160 m + 105 m)
= 2 × 265 m = 530 m
Difference in the distance covered = 530 m – 300 m = 230 m.
Thus, Bob covers more distance by 230 m.
8. Answer the following questions:
1. In the figure shown below, there are 11 small squares.
We are given that, area of 1 small square = 1 sq cm
∴ Area of 11 small squares = 11 × Area of a small square

= 11 × 1 sq cm
= 11 sq cm
Also, side of a small square = 1 cm
Now, perimeter of the given figure = Sum of all its sides
= (1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) cm
= 18 cm
2. Here, we are given that the length of path = 60 m
and the width of path = 30 m
Side of square tile = 25 cm = 25
100
m = 0.25 m [∵ 1 m = 100 cm]
The path in the diagram is shown below:
Number of tiles in one row along width = Width
=
3
0.25
=
3×100
25
= 12
Side of one tile
Length
Number of rows = 100 = 240
60 60
= = ×
Side of one tile 0.25 25
Also, number of tiles = Number of tiles in one row × Number of rows
= 12 × 240 = 2880.
9. a. The perimeter of the square playground is (4 × 20 = 80) meters.
b. The area of the square playground is (20 × 20 = 400) square meters.
c. The total cost of fencing the playground is (80 × 20 = ₹ 1600).
OR
The new cost of covering the playground with grass is (400 × 15 = ₹ 6000). It will cost ₹ 2000 more.
