1. The Length and the breadth of a rectangular piece of land are 500 m and 300 m
respectively. Find
(i) Its area (ii) the cost of the land, if 1 m2 of the land costs ₹ 10,000.
Solution:-
From the question it is given that,
Length of the rectangular piece of land = 500 m
Breadth of the rectangular piece of land = 300 m
Then,
(i) Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= 500 × 300
= 150000 m2
(ii) Cost of the land for 1 m2 = ₹ 10000
Cost of the land for 150000 m2 = 10000 × 150000
= ₹ 1500000000
2. Find the area of a square park whose perimeter is 320m.

Solution:-
Perimeter of the square park = 320 m
4 × Length of the side of park = 320 m
Then,
Length of the side of park = 320/4
= 80 m
So, Area of the square park = (length of the side of park)2
= 802
= 6400 m2
3. Find the breadth of a rectangular plot of land, if its area is 440 m2 and the length is
22 m. Also find its perimeter.
Solution:-
Area of the rectangular plot = 440 m2
Length of the rectangular plot = 22 m
We know that,
Area of the rectangle = Length × Breadth
Perimeter and Area
440 = 22 × Breadth
Breadth = 440/22
Breadth = 20 m
Then,
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)
= 2 (22 + 20)
= 2(42)
= 84 m
∴Perimeter of the rectangular plot is 84 m.
4. The perimeter of a rectangular sheet is 100 cm. If the length is 35 cm, find its
breadth.
Also find the area.
Solution:-
Perimeter of the a rectangular sheet = 100 cm
Length of the rectangular sheet = 35 cm
We know that,
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)
100 = 2 (35 + Breadth)
(100/2) = 35 + Breadth
50 – 35 = Breadth
Breadth = 15 cm
Then,
= 35 × 15
= 525 cm2
∴Area of the rectangular sheet is 525 cm2
5. The area of a square park is the same as of a rectangular park. If the side of the
square park is 60 m and the length of the rectangular park is 90 m, find the breadth of
the rectangular park.
Solution:-
Area of a square park is the same as of a rectangular park.
Side of the square park = 60 m
Length of the rectangular park = 90 m
Perimeter and Area
We know that,
Area of the square park = (one of the side of square)2
= 602
= 3600 m2
Area of the rectangular park = 3600 m2 … [∵ given]
Length × Breadth = 3600
90 × Breadth = 3600
Breadth = 3600/90
Breadth = 40 m
6. A wire is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 40 cm and breadth is 22 cm. If the
same wire is rebent in the shape of a square, what will be the measure of each side.
Also find which shape encloses more area?
Solution:-
By reading the question we can conclude that, perimeter of the square is same as
perimeter of rectangle.
Length of the rectangle = 40 cm
Breadth of the square = 22 cm
Then,
Perimeter of the rectangle = Perimeter of the Square
2 (Length + Breadth) = 4 × side
2 (40 + 22) = 4 × side
2 (62) = 4 × side
124 = 4 × side
Side = 124/4
Side = 31 cm
So, Area of the rectangle = (Length × Breadth)
= 40 × 22
= 880 cm2
Area of square = side2
= 312
= 31 × 31
= 961 cm2
∴Square shaped wire encloses more area.
7. The perimeter of a rectangle is 130 cm. If the breadth of the rectangle is

Perimeter and Area
30 cm, find its length. Also find the area of the rectangle.
Solution:-
From the question it is given that.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 130 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 30
We know that,
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)
130 = 2 (length + 30)
130/2 = length + 30
Length + 30 = 65
Length = 65 – 30
Length = 35 cm
Then,
= 35 × 30
= 1050 cm2
8. A door of length 2 m and breadth 1 m is fitted in a wall. The length of the wall is 4.5
m and the breadth is 3.6 m (Fig). Find the cost of white washing the wall, if the rate of
white washing the wall is ₹ 20 per m2.
Solution:-
Length of the door = 2 m
Breadth of the door = 1 m
Length of the wall = 4.5 m
Breadth of the wall = 3.6 m
Then,
Area of the door = Length × Breadth
=2×1
= 2 m2
Perimeter and Area
Area of the wall = Length × Breadth

= 4.5 × 3.6
= 16.2 m2
So, Area to be white washed = 16.2 – 2 = 14.2 m2
Cost of white washing 1 m2 area = ₹ 20
Hence cost of whit washing 14.2 m2 area = 14.2 × 20
= ₹ 284

Solution:-
Length of wire that Shazli took =44 cm
Then,
If the wire is bent into a circle,
We know that, circumference of the circle = 2πr
44 = 2 × (22/7) × r
44 = 44/7 × r
(44 × 7)/44 = r
r = 7 cm
2
Area of the circle = πr
= 22/7 × 72
= 22/7 × 7 ×7
= 22 × 7
= 154 cm2
Now,
If the wire is bent into a square,
The length of the each side of square = 44/4
= 11 cm
Area of the square = length of the side of square2
= 112
= 121 cm2
By comparing the two areas of the square and circle,
Clearly, circle encloses more area.

Solution:-
Perimeter and Area
Radius of the circular card sheet = 14 cm

Radius of the two small circle = 3.5 cm
Length of the rectangle = 3 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 1 cm
First we have to find out the area of circular card sheet, two circles and rectangle to find
out the remaining area.
Now,
Area of the circular card sheet = πr2
= 22/7 × 142
= 22/7 × 14 × 14
= 22 × 2 × 14
= 616 cm2
Area of the 2 small circles = 2 × πr2
= 2 × (22/7 × 3.52)
= 2 × (22/7 × 3.5 × 3.5)
= 2 × ((22/7) × 12.25)
= 2 × 38.5
= 77 cm2
=3×1
= 3 cm2
Now,
The area of the remaining part = Card sheet area – (area of two small circles + rectangle
area)
= 616 – (77 + 3)
= 616 – 80
= 536 cm2
11. A circle of radius 2 cm is cut out from a square piece of an aluminium sheet of side

Area of the square = side2

= 62
= 36 cm2
= 3.14 × 22
= 3.14 × 2 × 2
= 3.14 × 4
= 12.56 cm2
Now,
The area of the remaining part = Area of aluminum square sheet – area of circle
= 36 – 12.56
= 23.44 cm2
12. The circumference of a circle is 31.4 cm. Find the radius and the area of the circle?
(Take π = 3.14)

We know that,
Circumference of a circle = 2πr
31.4 = 2 × 3.14 × r
31.4 = 6.28 × r
31.4/6.28 = r
r = 5 cm
Then,
= 3.14 × 52
= 3. 14 × 25
= 78.5 cm
13. A circular flower bed is surrounded by a path 4 m wide. The diameter of the flower
bed is 66 m. What is the area of this path? (π = 3.14)
Perimeter and Area
Solution:-
Diameter of the flower bed = 66 m
Then,
Radius of the flower bed = d/2
= 66/2
= 33 m
2
Area of flower bed = πr
= 3.14 × 332
= 3.14 × 1089
= 3419.46 m
Now we have to find area of the flower bed and path together
So, radius of flower bed and path together = 33 + 4 = 37 m
Area of the flower bed and path together = πr2
= 3.14 × 372
= 3.14 × 1369
= 4298.66 m
Finally,
Area of the path = Area of the flower bed and path together – Area of flower bed
= 4298.66 – 3419.46
= 879.20 m2
14. A circular flower garden has an area of 314 m2. A sprinkler at the centre of the
garden can cover an area that has a radius of 12 m. Will the sprinkler water the entire
garden? (Take π = 3.14)
Solution:-
Area of the circular flower garden = 314 m2
Sprinkler at the centre of the garden can cover an area that has a radius = 12 m
Area of the circular flower garden = πr2
314 = 3.14 × r2
314/3.14 = r2
r2 = 100
r = √100
r = 10 m
∴Radius of the circular flower garden is 10 m.
Since, the sprinkler can cover an area of radius 12 m
Perimeter and Area
Hence, the sprinkler will water the whole garden.
15. Find the circumference of the inner and the outer circles, shown in the adjoining
figure? (Take π = 3.14)
Solution:-
From the figure,
Radius of inner circle = outer circle radius – 10
= 19 – 10
=9m
Circumference of the inner circle = 2πr
= 2 × 3.14 × 9
= 56.52 m
Then,
Radius of outer circle = 19 m
Circumference of the outer circle = 2πr
= 2 × 3.14 × 19
= 119.32 m
16. How many times a wheel of radius 28 cm must rotate to go 352 m? (Take π = 22/7)
Solution:-
Radius of the wheel = 28 cm
Circumference of the wheel = 2πr
= 2 × 22/7 × 28
= 2 × 22 × 4
= 176 cm
Now we have to find the number of rotation of the wheel,
= Total distance to be covered/ circumference of wheel
= 352 m/176 cm
= 35200 cm/ 176 cm
= 200

1. A garden is 90 m long and 75 m broad. A path 5 m wide is to be built outside and

around it. Find the area of the path. Also find the area of the garden in hectare.
Solution:-

Length of the garden (L) = 90 m
Breadth of the garden (B) = 75 m
Then,
Area of the garden = length × breadth
= 90 × 75
= 6750 m2
From the figure,
The new length and breadth of the garden when path is included is 100 m and 85 m
respectively.
New area of the garden = 100 × 85
= 8500 m2
The area of path = New area of the garden including path – Area of garden
= 8500 – 6750
= 1750 m2
For 1 hectare = 10000 m2
Hence, area of garden in hectare = 6750/10000
= 0.675 hectare
2. A 3 m wide path runs outside and around a rectangular park of length 125 m and
breadth 65 m. Find the area of the path.
Solution:-
Perimeter and Area

Length of the park (L) = 125 m
Breadth of the park (B) = 65 m
Then,
Area of the park = length × breadth
= 125 × 65
= 8125 m2
From the figure,
The new length and breadth of the park when path is included is 131 m and 71 m
respectively.
New area of the park = 131 × 71
= 9301 m2
The area of path = New area of the park including path – Area of park
= 9301 – 8125
= 1176 m2
3. A picture is painted on a cardboard 8 cm long and 5 cm wide such that there is a

margin of 1.5 cm along each of its sides. Find the total area of the margin.
Solution:-
Perimeter and Area

Length of the cardboard (L) = 8 cm
Breadth of the cardboard (B) = 5 cm
Then,
Area of the cardboard = length × breadth
=8×5
= 40 cm2
From the figure,
The new length and breadth of the cardboard when margin is not included is 5 cm and 2
cm respectively.
New area of the cardboard = 5 × 2
= 10 cm2
The area of margin = Area of the cardboard when margin is including – Area of the
cardboard when margin is not including
= 40 – 10
= 30 cm2
4. A verandah of width 2.25 m is constructed all along outside a room which is 5.5 m
long and 4 m wide. Find:
(i) the area of the verandah.
(ii) the cost of cementing the floor of the verandah at the rate of ₹ 200 per m2.
Solution:-
(i)
Length of the room (L) = 5.5 m
Breadth of the room (B) = 4 m
Then,
Perimeter and Area
Area of the room = length × breadth

= 5.5 × 4
= 22 m2
From the figure,
The new length and breadth of the room when verandah is included is 10 m and 8.5 m
respectively.
New area of the room when verandah is included = 10 × 8.5
= 85 m2
The area of verandah = Area of the room when verandah is included – Area of the room
= 85 – 22
= 63 m2
(ii)
Given, the cost of cementing the floor of the verandah at the rate of ₹ 200 per m2
Then the cost of cementing the 63 m2 area of floor of the verandah = 200 × 63
= ₹ 12600
5. A path 1 m wide is built along the border and inside a square garden of side 30 m.
Find:
(i) the area of the path
(ii) the cost of planting grass in the remaining portion of the garden at the rate of ₹ 40
per m2.
Solution:-
(i)
Side of square garden (s) = 30 m
Then,
Perimeter and Area
Area of the square garden = S2

= 302
= 30 × 30
= 900 m2
From the figure,
The new side of the square garden when path is not included is 28 m.
New area of the room when verandah is included = 282
= 28 × 28
= 784 m2
The area of path = Area of the square garden when path is included – Area of the square
Garden when path is not included
= 900 – 784
= 116 m2
(ii)
Given, the cost of planting the grass in the remaining portion of the garden at the rate of
= ₹ 40 per m2
Then the cost of planting the grass in 784 m2 area of the garden = 784 × 40
= ₹ 31360
6. Two cross roads, each of width 10 m, cut at right angles through the centre of a
rectangular park of length 700 m and breadth 300 m and parallel to its sides. Find the
area of the roads. Also find the area of the park excluding cross roads. Give the answer
in hectares.
Solution:-

Length of the park (L) = 700 m
Breadth of the park (B) = 300 m
Then,
Perimeter and Area
Area of the park = length × breadth

= 700 × 300
= 210000 m2
Let us assume that ABCD is the one cross road and EFGH is another cross road in the
park.
The length of ABCD cross road = 700 m
The length of EFGH cross road = 300 m
Both cross road have the same width = 10 m
Then,
Area of the ABCD cross road = length × breadth
= 700 × 10
= 7000 m2
Area of the EFGH cross road = length × breadth
= 300 × 10
= 3000 m2
Area of the IJKL at center = length × breadth
= 10 × 10
= 100 m2
Area of the roads = Area of ABCD + Area of EFGH – Area of IJKL
= 7000 + 3000 – 100
= 10000 – 100
= 9900 m2
We know that, for 1 hectare = 10000 m2
Hence, area of roads in hectare = 9900/10000
= 0.99 hectare
Finally, Area of the park excluding roads = Area of park – Area of the roads
= 210000 – 9900
= 200100 m2
= 200100/10000
= 20.01 hectare
7. Through a rectangular field of length 90 m and breadth 60 m, two roads are

constructed which are parallel to the sides and cut each other at right angles through
the centre of the fields. If the width of each road is 3 m, find
(i) the area covered by the roads.
(ii) the cost of constructing the roads at the rate of ₹ 110 per m2.
Solution:-
Perimeter and Area
(i)
Length of the field (L) = 90 m
Breadth of the field (B) = 60 m
Then,
Area of the field = length × breadth
= 90 × 60
= 5400 m2
Let us assume that ABCD is the one cross road and EFGH is another cross road in the
park.
The length of ABCD cross road = 90 m
The length of EFGH cross road = 60 m
Both cross road have the same width = 3 m
Then,
Area of the ABCD cross road = length × breadth
= 90 × 3
= 270 m2
Area of the EFGH cross road = length × breadth
= 60 × 3
= 180 m2
Area of the IJKL at center = length × breadth
=3×3
= 9 m2
Area of the roads = Area of ABCD + Area of EFGH – Area of IJKL
= 270 + 180 – 9
= 450 – 9
= 441 m2
(ii)
Perimeter and Area
Given, the cost of constructing the roads at the rate of ₹ 110 per m2.
Then the cost of constructing the 441 m2 roads = 441 × 110
= ₹ 48510
8. Pragya wrapped a cord around a circular pipe of radius 4 cm (adjoining figure) and
cut off the length required of the cord. Then she wrapped it around a square box of
side 4 cm (also shown). Did she have any cord left? (π = 3.14)
Solution:-
Radius of a circular pipe = 4 cm
Side of a square = 4 cm
Then,
Perimeter of the circular pipe = 2πr
= 2 × 3.14 × 4
= 25.12 cm
Perimeter of the square = 4 × side of the square
=4×4
= 16 cm
So, the length of cord left with Pragya = Perimeter of circular pipe - Perimeter of square
= 25.12 – 16
= 9.12 cm
Yes, 9.12 cm cord is left.
9. The adjoining figure represents a rectangular lawn with a circular flower bed in the
middle. Find:
(i) the area of the whole land (ii) the area of the flower bed
(iii) the area of the lawn excluding the area of the flower bed
Perimeter and Area
(iv) the circumference of the flower bed.
Solution:-
(i)
From the figure,
Length of rectangular lawn = 10 m
Breadth of rectangular lawn = 5 m
Area of the rectangular lawn = Length × Breadth
= 10 × 5
= 50 m2
(ii)
From the figure,
Radius of the flower bed = 2 m
Area of the flower bed = πr2
= 3.14 × 22
= 3.14 × 4
= 12.56 m2
(iii)
The area of the lawn excluding the area of the flower bed = Area of rectangular lawn –
Area of flower bed
= 50 – 12.56
= 37.44 m2
(iv)
The circumference of the flower bed = 2πr
= 2 × 3.14 × 2
= 12.56 m
10. In the following figures, find the area of the shaded portions:
Perimeter and Area
(i)
Solution:-
To find the area of EFDC, first we have to find the area of ΔAEF, ΔEBC and rectangle
ABCD
Area of ΔAEF = ½ × Base × Height
= ½ × 6 × 10
= 1 × 3 × 10
= 30 cm2
Area of ΔEBC = ½ × Base × Height
= ½ × 8 × 10
= 1 × 4 × 10
= 40 cm2
Area of rectangle ABCD = length × breadth
= 18 × 10
= 180 cm2
Then,
Area of EFDC = ABCD area – (ΔAEF + ΔEBC)
= 180 – (30 + 40)
= 180 – 70
= 110 cm2
Perimeter and Area
(ii)
Solution:-
To find the area of ΔQTU, first we have to find the area of ΔSTU, ΔTPQ, ΔQRU and
square PQRS
Area of ΔSTU = ½ × Base × Height
= ½ × 10 × 10
= 1 × 5 × 10
= 50 cm2
Area of ΔTPQ = ½ × Base × Height
= ½ × 10 × 20
= 1 × 5 × 20
= 100 cm2
Area of ΔQRU = ½ × Base × Height
= ½ × 10 × 20
= 1 × 5 × 20
= 100 cm2
Area of square PQRS = Side2
= 20 × 20
= 400 cm2
Then,
Area of ΔQTU = PQRS area – (ΔSTU + ΔTPQ + ΔQRU)
= 400 – (50 + 100 + 100)
= 400 – 250
= 150 cm2
11. Find the area of the quadrilateral ABCD.

Here, AC = 22 cm, BM = 3 cm,

DN = 3 cm, and BM ⊥ AC, DN ⊥ AC
Solution:-
From the it is given that,
AC = 22 cm, BM = 3 cm DN = 3 cm and BM ⊥ AC, DN ⊥ AC
To find the area of quadrilateral ABCD, first we have to find the area of ΔABC, and ΔADC
Area of ΔABC = ½ × Base × Height
= ½ × 22 × 3
= 1 × 11 × 3
= 33 cm2
Area of ΔADC = ½ × Base × Height
= ½ × 22 × 3
= 1 × 11 × 3
= 33 cm2
Then,
Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔADC
= 33 + 33
= 66 cm2
