Question 1.
The table given below contains some measures of the rectangle. Find the unknown values.
Solution:
(i) Area of the rectangle = (length × breadth) sq unit.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(1 + b) units.
l = 5 cm
b = 8 cm
∴ p = 2 (l + b) cm = 2 (5 + 8) cm = 2 × 13 cm
p = 26 cm
Area = (l × b) cm2 = (5 × 8) cm2
A = 40 cm2
(ii) l = 13 cm
p = 54 cm
Perimeter = 2 (l + b) units
54 = 2 (13 + b) cm
54/2 = 13 + b
27 = 13 + b
b = 27 – 13
b = 14 cm
Area = l × b sq. unit = 13 × 14 cm2
A = 182 cm2
(iii) b = 15 cm
p = 60 cm
p = 2 (l + b) units
60 = 2 (l + 15) cm
60/2 = l + 15
30 = l + 15
l = 30 – 15 .
l = 15 cm
Area = l × b unit2 = 15 × 15 cm2 = 225 cm2
A = 225 cm2
(iv) l = 10 m
Area = 120 sq metre
Area = l × b sq.m
120 = 10 × 6
b = 120/10
b = 12 m
Perimeter =2 (l + b) units = 2(10 + 12) units = 2 × 22 m
A = 44 m
(v) b = 4 feet.
Area = 20 sq. feet
Area = l × b sq .feet
20 = l × 4
l = 20/4 feet
l = 5 feet
Perimeter = 2 (l + b) units.
p = 2 (5 + 4) feet = 2 × 9
p = 18 feet
Completing the unknown values in the table.
Question 2.
The table given below contains some measures of the square. Find the unknown values.
Solution:
Perimeter of a square = (4 × side) units
Area of a square = (side × side) unit2
(i) s = 6 cm
Perimeter = 4s units = 4 × 6 cm = 24 cm
P = 24 cm
Area = s × s unit2 = 6 × 6 cm2 = 36 cm2
A = 36 cm2
(ii) Perimeter = 4 × s unit
100 = (4 × s) m
100/4 = s
s = 25 m
Area = s × s unit2= 25 × 25 m2 = 625m2
A = 625m2
(iii) Area = s × s unit2
49 = s × s square feet
s2 = 72
s = 7 feet
Perimeter = 4 × s unit = 4 × 7 feet = 28 feet
Perimeter = 28 feet

Question 3.
The table given below contains some measures of the triangle. Find the unknown values.
Solution:
Area of the right triangle = 1/2 × (base × height) unit2
(i) b = 20 cm
h = 40 cm
Area = 1/2 (b × h) cm2 = 1/2 × 20 × 40 = 400 cm2
A = 400 cm2
(ii) b = 5 feet
Area = 1/2 × b × h unit2
= 20 = 1/2 × 5 × h sq. feet
20×2/5 = h
h = 8 feet
(iii) Area = 1/2 × (base × height) unit2
24 = 1/2 × b × 12 m2
base = 24×2/12 m = 4 m
Base = 4m

Question 4.
The table given below contains some measures of the triangles. Find the unknown values.
Solution:
Perimeter of a triangle = sum of three sides.
(i) Perimeter = 6 + 5 + 2 cm = 13 cm
p = 13 cm
(ii) Perimeter = (side 1 + side 2 + side 3) m
17 = (side 1 + 8 + 3) m
17 m = (side 1 + 11) m
side 1 = 17 – 11 = 6m
(iii) Perimeter = side 1 + side 2 + side 3
28 feet = 11 feet + side 2 + 9 feet
28 ft = 20 feet + side 2
28 – 20 = side 2
side = 8 feet

Find the perimeter and area of the following shapes.
Solution:
(i) Perimeter = (4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4) cm = 48 cm
Perimeter = 48 cm
Area of 5 squares of side 4 cm
Area of a square = (side × side) unit2
∴ A = 5 × (4 × 4) cm2 = 5 × 16 cm2 = 80 cm2
80 cm2
(ii) Perimeter = (4 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 5)cm = 36cm
Perimeter = 36 cm
Area of a square of side 3cm + Area of 4 right triangles
= (3 × 3) + [4 × 1/2 × 4 × 3] cm2 = (9 + 24) cm2 = 33 cm2
Area = 33 cm2
(iii) Perimeter = (50 + 12 + 13 + 40 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5) cm = 150 cm
Perimeter = 150 cm
Area = Area of a rectangle + Area of a square + Area of a right triangle.
= (l × b) + (s × s) + ( 1/2 × b × h) cm2
= (50 × 5) + (10 × 10) + 1/2 × 12 × 5) cm2
= (250 + 100 + 30) cm2 = 380 cm2
Area = 380 cm2
Question 7.

Solution:
l = 6 m, b = 4 m Perimeter of the rectangle
= 2 (l + b) units
= 2 (6 + 4) m
= 2 (10) m
= 20 m
Area of the rectangle = l × b sq units
= 4 × 6 m²
= 24 m²
Question 8.
Find the perimeter and the area of the square whose side is 8 cm.
Solution:
Perimeter of a square = (4 × side) units
Side = 8 cm
∴ Perimeter = 4 × 8 cm = 32 cm
Perimeter = 32 cm
Area of a square = (side × side) unit2 = (8 × 8) cm2 = 64 cm2
Area = 64 cm2
Question 9.

Solution:
Perimeter of the triangle
= (a + b + c) units
= (6 + 8 + 10) feet
= 24 feet
Area of the triangle = 1/2 × b × h sq units
1/2 × 6³× 8 feet square
= 24 sq. feet
Question 10.
Find the perimeter of
i) A scalene triangle with sides 7 m, 8 m, 10 m
ii) An isosceles triangle with equal sides 10 cm each and third side is 7 cm.
iii) An Equilateral triangle with side 6 cm.
Solution:
i) Perimeter of a scalene triangle = (7 + 8 + 10) m = 25 m
ii) The three sides of the isosceles triangle are 10 cm, 10 cm and 7 cm
∴ Perimeter = (10 + 10 + 7) cm = 27 cm
iii) An equilateral triangle with side 6 cm.
The sides of equilateral triangle are 6 cm, 6 cm and 6 cm
∴ Perimeter = (6 + 6 + 6) cm = 18 cm
Question 11.
The area of a rectangular shaped photo is 820 sq. cm. and its width is 20 cm. What is its length? Also find its perimeter.
Solution:
Given Area = 820 cm²
Width = 20 cm
Area of the rectangle
= l × b sq. units
820 = l × 20
820/20 = l
41 = l
length l = 41 cm
Perimeter = 2(l + b) units
= 2(41 + 20) cm
= 2(61) cm
= 122 cm
Question 12.
A square park has 40 m as its perimeter. What is the length of its side? Also find its area.
Solution:
Given perimeter = 40 m
Perimeter of a square = 4 × Length of a side
40 = 4 × Length of a side
∴ Length of its side = 40/4 m = 0 m
∴ Side of the park = 10m
Area of a square = (Side × side) unit2 = (10 × 10) m2 = 100 m2
∴ Area of the Park = 100 m2
Question 13.
The scalene triangle has 40 cm as its perimeter and whose two sides are 13 cm and 15 cm, find the third side.
Solution:
Let the third side be C
perimeter = (a + b + c) units
40 = 13 + 15 + C
40 = 28 + C
C = 40 – 28
C = 12 units
C = 12 cm
Question 14.
A field is in the shape of right angled triangle whose base is 25 m and height 20 m. Find the cost of levelling the field at the rate of ₹ 45/- per sq. m.
Solution:
Area of a right angled triangle = 1/2 × (base × height) unit2
base = 25 m
height = 20 m
∴ Area = 1/2 × (25 × 20)
Area = 250 m2
Cost of levelling per m2 = ₹ 45.
∴ Cost of levelling 250 m2 = 250 × 45 = ₹ 11,250
Cost of levelling = ₹ 11,250
Question 15.
A square of side 2 cm is joined with a rectangle of length 15 cm and breadth 10 cm. Find the perimeter of the combined shape.
Solution:
Perimeter of the combined shape = Lengths of the outer boundaries
= (15 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 13 + 10) cm = 54 cm
Perimeter = 54 cm
