Chapter 10: Mensuration

Exercise 10.3
1. Find the area of the rectangles whose sides are:
(a) 3 cm and 4 cm
(b) 12 m and 21 m
(c) 2 km and 3 km
(d) 2 m and 70 cm
Solutions:
We know that
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
(a) l = 3 cm and b = 4 cm
Area = l × b = 3 × 4
= 12 cm2
(b) l = 12 m and b = 21 m
Area = l × b = 12 × 21
= 252 m2
(c) l = 2 km and b = 3 km
Area = l × b = 2 × 3 = 6 km2
(d) l = 2 m and b = 70 cm = 0.70 m
Area = l × b = 2 × 0.70
= 1.40 m2
2. Find the areas of the squares whose sides are:
(a) 10 cm (b) 14 cm (c) 5 m
Solutions:
(a) Area of square = side2
= 102
= 100 cm2
(b) Area of square = side2
= 142
= 196 cm2
(c) Area of square = side2
= 52
=25 cm2
3. The length and breadth of three rectangles are as
given below:
(a) 9 m and 6 m b) 17 m and 3 m c) 4 m and 14
Which one has the largest area and which one has the
smallest?
Solutions:
(a) Area of rectangle = l × b
=9×6
= 54 m2
(b) Area of rectangle = l × b
= 17 × 3
= 51 m2
(c) Area of rectangle = l × b
= 4 × 14
= 56 m2
Area of rectangle 56 m2 i.e (c) is the largest area and
area of rectangle 51 m2 i.e (b) is the smallest area
4. The area of a rectangular garden 50 m long is 300
sq m. Find the width of the garden.
Solutions: Area of rectangle = length × width
300 = 50 × width
width = 300 / 50
width = 6 m
∴ The width of the garden is 6 m
5. What is the cost of tiling a rectangular plot of land
500 m long and 200 m wide at the rate of ₹ 8 per
hundred sq m.?
Solutions:
Area of land = length × breadth
= 500 × 200
= 1,00,000 m2
∴ Cost of tiling 1,00,000 sq m of land = (8 × 1,00,000) /
100
= ₹ 8000
6. A table top measures 2 m by 1 m 50 cm. What is its
area in square metres?
Solutions:
Given
l = 2m
b = 1m 50 cm = 1.50 m
Area = l × b = 2 × 1.50
= 3 m2
7. A room is 4 m long and 3 m 50 cm wide. Howe many
square metres of carpet is needed to cover the floor of
the room?
Solutions:
Given
l = 4m
b = 3 m 50 cm = 3.50 m
Area = l × b = 4 × 3.50
=14 m2
8. A floor is 5 m long and 4 m wide. A square carpet of
sides 3 m is laid on the floor. Find the area of the floor
that is not carpeted.
Solutions:
Area of floor = l × b = 5 × 4
= 20 m2
Area of square carpet = 3 × 3
= 9 m2
Area of floor that is not carpeted = 20 – 9
= 11 m2
∴ Area of the floor that is not carpeted is 11 m2
9. Five square flower beds each of sides 1 m are dug on
a piece of land 5 m long and 4 m wide. What is the
area of the remaining part of the land?
Solutions:
Area of flower square bed = 1 × 1
= 1 m2
Area of 5 square bed = 1 × 5
= 5 m2
Area of land = 5 × 4
= 20 m2
Remaining part of the land = Area of land – Area of 5
square bed
= 20 – 5
= 15 m2
∴ Remaining part of the land is 15 m2
10. By splitting the following figures into rectangles,
find their areas (The measures are given in
centimetres).

Solutions:
(a)
Area of yellow region = 3 × 3
= 9 cm2
Area of orange region = 1× 2
= 2 cm2
Area of grey region = 3 × 3
= 9 cm2
Area of brown region = 2 × 4
= 8 cm2
Total area = 9 + 2 + 9 + 8
= 28 cm2
∴ Total area is 28 cm2
(b)
Area of brown region = 3 × 1
= 3 cm2
Area of orange region = 3 × 1
= 3 cm2
Area of grey region = 3 × 1
= 3 cm2
Total area = 3 + 3 + 3
= 9 cm2
∴ Total area is 9 cm2

11. Split the following shapes into rectangles and find


their areas. (The measures are given in centimetres)
Solutions:
(a)

Total area of the figure = 12 × 2 + 8 × 2


= 40 cm2
(b)
There are 5 squares. Each side is 7 cm
Area of 5 squares = 5 × 72
= 245 cm2
(c)

Area of grey rectangle = 2 × 1


= 2 cm2
Area of brown rectangle = 2 × 1
= 2 cm2
Area of orange rectangle = 5 × 1
= 5 cm2
Total area = 2 + 2 + 5
= 9 cm2
12. How many tiles whose length and breadth are 12
cm and 5 cm respectively will be needed to fit in a
rectangular region whose length and breadth are
respectively?
(a) 100 cm and 144 cm
(b) 70 cm and 36 cm
Solutions:
(a) Area of rectangle = 100 × 144
= 14400 cm
Area of one tile = 5 × 12
= 60 cm2
Number of tiles = (Area of rectangle) / (Area of one
tile)
= 14400 / 60
= 240
Hence, 240 tiles are needed
(b) Area of rectangle = 70 × 36
= 2520 cm2
Area of one tile = 5 × 12
= 60 cm2
Number of tiles = (Area of rectangle) / (Area of one
tile)
= 2520 / 60
= 42
Hence, 42 tiles are needed
