Solutions
(1) d. 340

Step 1
The perimeter of any given figure is the sum of all its sides.

Step 2
For the given triangle, perimeter will be 92 + 118 + 130 = 340 cm.
(2) c. 500000

Step 1
If we look at the question carefully, we notice that
the diameter of the wheel = 53.2 cm
Distance travelled = 836 km

Step 2
The circumference of a circle (or wheel) is the distance around the outside or the boundary of
the circle.
We know:
22
C = πD (where, D is the diameter of the wheel and π = )

22
= × 53.2
7
= 167.2
So, if we put a mark on the outer rim of the wheel and rotate the wheel once, then the marked
spot will travel a distance of 167.2 cm.

Step 3
Distance traveled by the bike = 836 km
Distance covered by the wheel in one revolution = 167.2 cm
Distance traveled by the bike
Total number of revolutions =
Distance covered by the wheel in one revolution

=
167.2 cm
836 × 100000 cm
=
167.2 cm
83600000
=
167.2
= 500000

Step 4
Therefore, 500000 revolutions of the wheel are required to travel a distance of 836 km.
(3) a. 16 cm

Step 1
The length of the side of 1 box in the grid is given as 1 cm.

Step 2
To find the perimeter, we need to find the total length of the boundary of the shape formed by
the shaded boxes.

Step 3
If we count the number of sides of the boxes forming the outer side of the shaded shape, it
comes out to be 16.

Step 4
Hence, the total length of the exterior sides of the given image will be 16 × side of box = 16 ×
1 cm = 16 cm.
(4) a. 24 cm2
Step 1

Let ABCD be the given rhombus with AB = 5 cm and AC = 6 cm.

Let the diagonals AC and BD bisect at a point O.

We know that1 the diagonals of a1rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
AC and BO = BD.
2 2 ∘

So, AO =
×6=3 cm and ∠ AOB = 90
2
∴ AO =
Step 2
Using Pythagous' theorem in right △ AOB, we have
2 2
AB = AO + BO2
⟹ (5) = (3)2 + BO2
2

2
⟹ 25 = 9 + BO

⟹ 16 = BO

⟹ 4cm = BO

BD, we have

As, BO =
1
BO = BD
2
1
⟹ 4 = BD
⟹2 × 42
= BD

⟹ 8 cm = BD
Step 3
We know,
 1
Area of rhombus = × Product of itsdiagonals
2 1
= × AC × BD 1
= 2 × 6 × 8 cm
2
= 24cm2

Thus, the area of the rhombus is 24 cm2.

(5) 750

Step 1
Distance covered by the wheel in a revolution is equal to the perimeter of the wheel.

Step 2
According to the question, the radius of the first and the second wheel is 15 cm and 25 cm,
respectively.
Perimeter of the first wheel = 2π × 15 = 30π cm
Distance covered by the first wheel in one revolution = 30π cm
Distance covered by the first wheel in 1250 revolutions = 1250π × 30 = 37500π cm

Step 3
Perimeter of the second wheel = 2π × 25 = 50π cm
Or, we can say that the number of revolutions covered by the second wheel in 50π cm = 1
revolution
1
The number of revolutions covered by the second wheel in 1 cm = revolutions
50π
1
The number of revolutions covered by the second wheel in 37500π cm = × 37500π
50π
= 750 revolutions

Step 4
Thus, the number of revolutions made by the second wheel are 750.
(6) 13

Step 1

Let us assume r is the radius of the circle, l is the length of the arc, and is the angle of the
arc at the center.
According to the question, r = 78 cm
= 60°

Step 2
Length of the arc = r
π
l= × × r ...[By converting the angle into radian]
180
π
= 60 × × 78
180
= 26π cm

Step 3
Let us assume that r1 is the radius of the new circle.
Length of the arc is equal to the circumference of the new circle.
Therefore, 2πr1 = 26π ...[Since, the circumference of the new circle = 2πr1]
26π
⇒ r1 =
2π
⇒ r1 = 13 cm

Step 4
Thus, the radius of the new circle is 13 cm.

(7) 16

Step 1
According to the question, there are a total of 8 squares in the given figure.
Side of each square = 8 cm

Step 2
As we know that PU is the sum of the lengths of the 4 squares placed together.
Or, PU = 8 cm + 8 cm + 8 cm + 8 cm
= 32 cm

Step 3
We observe that QR and ST are the sides of the squares that are placed above the row of 4
squares.
So, QR = ST = 8 cm

Step 4
We can see PU = PQ + QR + RS + ST + TU. Substituting the values of PU, QR, and ST in the
equation.
We have,
32 cm = PQ + 8 cm + RS + 8 cm + TU
32 cm = PQ + 16 cm + RS + TU
32 cm - 16 cm = PQ + RS + TU
16 cm = PQ + RS + TU

Step 5
Hence, PQ + RS + TU is 16 cm.

(8) 112

Step 1

Area of rectangle = Length ×Width

Length

Width

When the length and width are measured in units, the area is measured in square units.
Step 2

Now,
Thus,the length
area ofrectangle
of the the given =rectangle 14 inches and the width is 8 inches.
Length ×isWidth
= 14 × 8
= 112
Step 3

Hence, the area of the rectangle is 112 square inches.

(9) 4

Step 1
We know that the perimeter is equal to the sum of all the sides, and we also know that all the
sides of a square are equal.

Step 2
Hence, the perimeter of any square will be equal to 4 × length of the side.

We need to find the area of the given figure:

Step 2
Let us divide the given figure into three rectangles.
Hence, the area of the figure in question will be the sum of the areas of these three
rectangles.

Area of Rectangle 1 = Length × Width

= 29 × 10
= 290 m2

Area of Rectangle 2 = Length × Width

=9×9
= 81 m2

Area of Rectangle 3 = Length × Width

=9×6
= 54 m2

Step 4
Area of the given shape = Area of Rectangle 1 + Area of Rectangle 2 + Area of Rectangle 3
= 290 m2 + 81 m2 + 54 m2
= 425 m2
