Q1. A square and a rectangular field with measurements given in the figure have the same perimeter. which field has a larger area?

Solution :

According to the question, perimeter of figure (a) = perimeter of figure (b)

Here figure (a) in a square shape and figure (b) in a rectangular shape

So, perimeter of figure (a) = 4 × side

= 4 × 60m = 240m

perimeter of figure (b) = 2(L+B)

=2(80+ B) (∵ L=80 given in the figure)

∵ perimeter of figure (a) = perimeter of figure (b)

240= 2(80+ B)

⇒ 240 = 2×80 + 2B

⇒ 240 = 160 + 2B

⇒ 240-160 = 2B

⇒ 80 = 2B

⇒ 2B = 80

⇒ B = 40m

Now, area of figure (a) = side × side

= 60m × 60m = 3600m²

area of figure (b) = L × B = 80m × 40m = 3200m²

So, area of figure (a) higher than figure (b)

Q2. Mrs Kaushik has a square plot with the measurement as shown in the figure. She wants to construct a house in the middle of the plot. A garden is developed around the house. Find the total cost of developing a garden around the house at the rate of ₹ 55 per m².

Solution :

According to the given figure plot in "square shape"

So, Area of plot = side × side

= 25m × 25m = 625m²

House is in rectangular shape

here L=20m and B=15m

So, area of house = L×B =20m×15m=300m²

Now, we need to find the area of Garden

So, area of garden = (area of plot - area of house)

= (625 - 300)m² = 325m²

∵ Cost of developing the garden 1m² = ₹ 55

So, cost of developing the garden 325m² = ₹ 55 × 325 = ₹ 17875

Q3. The shape of a garden is rectangular in the middle and semi circular at the ends as shows in the diagram. Find the area and the perimeter of the garden [Length of rectangle is 20 - (3.5+3.5) meter].

Solution :

According to the given diagram, here 1 rectangle and 2 semi circles

here, Length of rectangle L = 20-(3.5+3.5) = 13m

and Breath of rectangle B = 7m

Radius of semicircle r = 3.5m

So, area of garden = (area of rectangle) + (area of 2 semi circles)

= (L × B) + ( 2 × \(\displaystyle \frac{{\pi {{r}^{2}}}}{2}\) )

= (L × B) + (\(\displaystyle {\pi {{r}^{2}}}\))

= (13 × 7) + { \(\displaystyle \frac{{22}}{7}\times \,{{(3.5)}^{2}}\)}

= \(\displaystyle 91+\frac{{22}}{7}\times \,\frac{7}{2}\times \frac{7}{2}\)

= \(\displaystyle 91+\frac{{77}}{2}\)

= \(\displaystyle \frac{{182+77}}{2}\)

= \(\displaystyle \frac{{259}}{2}\) = 129.5m²

Perimeter of garden = perimeter of 2 semicircle + 2(length of rectangle)

= \(\displaystyle 2(\pi r)\)+2L

=\(\displaystyle 2\times \frac{{22}}{7}\times \frac{7}{2}+2\times 13\)

= 22+26 = 48m.

Q4. A flooring tile has the shape of a parallelogram whose base is 24 cm and the corresponding height is 10 cm. How many such tiles are required to cover a floor of area 1080 m²? (If required you can split the tiles in whatever way you want to fill up the corners).

Solution:

Given: Base = 24cm

height=10cm

Area of floor=1080 m²

To find: Number of tiles

As the tiles are in shape of parallelogram so,

Area of parallelogram= Base × Height

= 24 × 10

=240cm²

So, the area of 1 tile is 240 cm²

Now, the number of tiles required is

=\(\displaystyle \frac{{Area\,of\,floor}}{{Area\,of\,each\,tile}}\)

=\(\displaystyle \frac{{1080}}{{240}}\) (convert 1080m² into cm²)

= \(\displaystyle \frac{{1080\times 10000}}{{240}}\)

= 4.5 × 10000

= 45,000

So, the number of tiles required is 45,000

Q5. An ant is moving around a few food pieces of different shapes scattered on the floor. For which food-piece would the ant have to take a longer round? Remember circumference of a circle can be obtained by using the expression c= 2\(\displaystyle \pi \)r,where r is the radius of the circle.

Solution:

According to Question,

a) The first figure is semi-circle so,

Perimeter of semi-circle is =\(\displaystyle \pi \)r+d (d=diameter, r= radius)

=(\(\displaystyle \frac{{22}}{7}\)\(\displaystyle \times \)1.4)+2.8 (r=\(\displaystyle \frac{d}{2}\))

=(22\(\displaystyle \times \)0.2)+2.8

=4.4+2.8

=7.2cm

b)Perimeter of given figure is =\(\displaystyle \pi \)r+d+2S (2S= 2\(\displaystyle \times \)side)

(\(\displaystyle \frac{{22}}{7}\)\(\displaystyle \times \)1.4)+(2.8)+(2\(\displaystyle \times \)1.5)

=(22\(\displaystyle \times \)0.2)+2.8+3.0

=4.4+2.8+3.0

=10.2cm

c) Perimeter of given figure is = \(\displaystyle \pi \)r+ 2S (2S= 2\(\displaystyle \times \)side)

=(\(\displaystyle \frac{{22}}{7}\)\(\displaystyle \times \)1.4)+(2\(\displaystyle \times \)2)

=(22\(\displaystyle \times \)0.2)+4

=4.4+4

=8.4cm

So, from the above observation the ant will have to take the longer round of figure(b) food piece.
