Side of the square = 2.5 cm
Perimeter = 4 × Side = 4 × 2.5 = 10 cm
Area = (side)
2
= (4)
2
= 16 cm

Question 3.
If the length and breadth of a rectangle are 36 cm and 24 cm respectively. Find
(i) Perimeter
(ii) Area of the rectangle.
Solution:
Length = 36 cm, Breadth = 24 cm
(i) Perimeter = 2(l + b) = 2(36 + 24) = 2 × 60 = 120 cm
(ii) Area of the rectangle = l × b = 36 cm × 24 cm = 864 cm

Question 4.
The perimeter of a rectangular field is 240 m. If its length is 90 m, find:
(i) it’s breadth
(ii) it’s area.
Solution:
(i) Perimeter of the rectangular field = 240 m
2(l + b) = 240 m
l + b = 120 m
90 m + b = 120 m
b = 120 m – 90 m = 30 m
So, the breadth = 30 m.
(ii) Area of the rectangular field = l × b = 90 m × 30 m = 2700 m
2
So, the required area = 2700 m

Question 5.
The length and breadth of a rectangular field are equal to 600 m and 400 m respectively. Find the cost of the grass to be planted in it at the rate of ₹ 2.50 per m
2
.
Solution:
Length = 600 m, Breadth = 400 m
Area of the field = l × b = 600 m × 400 m = 240000 m
2
Cost of planting the grass = ₹ 2.50 × 240000 = ₹ 6,00,000
Hence, the required cost = ₹ 6,00,000.

2
= 2500
x
2
= 1250
x = √1250 = \(\sqrt { 2\times 5\times 5\times 5\times 5 }\)
x = 5 × 5 × √2 = 25√2
The side of the square = 25√2 cm
Perimeter of the square = 4 × side = 4 × 25√2 = 100√2 cm

2
= (44)
2
cm
2
= 1936 cm
2
Circumference of the circle = 176 cm
Since 2464 cm

Solution:
Area of the square = (Side)
2
= 10 cm × 10 cm = 100 cm
2
Area of the circle = πr
2
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 3.5 × 3.5
= \(\frac { 77 }{ 2 }\) cm

Solution:
Area of the rectangle = l × b = 14 cm × 14 cm = 196 cm
2
Radius of the semicircle = \(\frac { 14 }{ 2 }\) = 7 cm
Area of two equal semicircle = 2 × \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) πr
2
= πr
2
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 7 × 7
= 154 cm
2
Area of the shaded portion = 196 cm
2
– 154 cm
2
= 42 cm

Question 14.
A rectangle park is 45 m long and 30 m wide. A path 2.5 m wide is constructed outside the park. Find the area of the path.
Solution:
Length of the rectangular park = 45 m
Breadth of the park = 30 m
Area of the park = l × 6 = 45m × 30m = 1350 m
2
Length of the park including the path = 45 m + 2 × 2.5 m = 50 m
Breadth of the park including the path = 30 m + 2 × 2.5 m = 30m + 5m = 35m
Area of the park including the path = 50 m × 35 m = 1750 m
2
Area of the path = 1750 m
2
– 1350 m
2
= 400 m
2
Hence, the required area = 400 m
2
.
Question 15.
In the given figure, calculate:
(а) the area of the whole figure.
(b) the total length of the boundary of the field.
Solution:

2
Area of two semicircles = 2 × \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) πr
2
= πr
2
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 21 × 21
= 22 × 3 × 21
= 1386 cm
2
Total area = 3360 cm
2
+ 1386 cm
2
= 4746 cm
2
Total length of the boundary of field = (2 × 80 + πr + πr) cm
= (160 + \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 21 + \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 21)
= (160 + 132) cm
= 292 cm
Hence, the required (i) area = 4746 cm
2
and (ii) length of boundary = 292 cm.
Question 16.
How many times a wheel of radius 28 cm must rotate to cover a distance of 352 m?
(Take π = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\))
Solution:
Radius of the wheel = 28 cm
Circumference = 2πr = 2 × \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 28 = 176 cm
Distance to be covered = 352 m or 352 × 100 = 35200 m
Number of rotation made by the wheel to cover the given distance = \(\frac { 35200 }{ 176 }\) = 200
Hence, the required number of rotations = 200.

Question 17.
A nursery school playground is 160 m long and 80 m wide. In it 80 m × 80 m is kept for swings and in the remaining portion, there are 1.5 m wide path parallel to its width and parallel to its remaining length as shown in Figure. The remaining area is covered by grass. Find the area covered by grass. (NCERT Exemplar)
Solution:
Area of the playground = l × b = 160 m × 80 m = 12800 m
2
Area left for swings = l × b = 80m × 80m = 6400 m
2
Area of the remaining portion = 12800 m
2
– 6400 m
2
= 6400 m
2
Area of the vertical road = 80 m × 1.5 m = 120 m
2
Area of the horizontal road = 80 m × 1.5 m = 120 m
2
Area of the common portion = 1.5 × 1.5 = 2.25 m
2
Area of the two roads = 120 m
2
+ 120 m
2
– 2.25 m
2
= (240 – 2.25) m
2
= 237.75 m
2
Area of the portion to be planted by grass = 6400 m
2
– 237.75 m
2
= 6162.25 m
2
Hence, the required area = 6162.25 m

2
⇒ 25 + DC
2
= 169
⇒ DC
2
= 169 – 25 = 144
⇒ DC = √144 = 12 cm
Perimeter of rectangle ABCD = 2(AD + DC)
= 2(5 cm + 12 cm)
= 2 × 17 cm
= 34 cm
