CHAPTER -19 PERIMETER AND AREA
EXERCISE 19 A
1. Find the perimeter.
a)

Perimeter = 3 cm + 5 cm + 4 cm
= 12 cm.
Ans: 12 cm

Perimeter = 30 m + 20 m + 10 m + 12 m + 15 m
= 87 m.
Ans : 87 m.
2 Find the missing measurement.
a.

Perimeter = 200 m.
S1 =40 m, S2 = 50 m, S3 = 30 m, S4 = 35m, S5 =?
(40 + 50 + 30 + 35 + S5) m = 200m
155 m + S5 = 200m
S5 = 200 m – 155 m
= 45 m.
Ans: 45m
b)

Perimeter = 600m
S1= ? S2 = 100m , S3 = 100m , S4 = 100m ,S5 = 100m , S6 = 100m .
(S1 +100 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 ) m = 600m
S1 + 500 m = 600m
S1 = 600 m – 500 m
S1 = 100 m
Ans : 100 m
3. The figures show a rectangular piece of paper and then the same paper
with pieces cut out of it. Work out the perimeter of (a) and then use it
to find that of the others shown in (b).

a) Perimeter of (a) = 8+4+8+4

= 24cm

b) Perimeter of (b) = perimeter of (a) + 2

= 24 + 2
= 26 cm

c) Perimeter of (c) = perimeter of (a) + 2 + 2

= 24 + 4
= 28cm.

d) Perimeter of (d) = perimeter of (a) + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2

= 24 + 8
= 32 cm
4) Find the perimeter of a rectangle whose sides are:
a) 12 cm and 9 cm
Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
Length = 12 cm
Breadth = 9 cm
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (12 + 9) cm
= 2 x 21 cm
Perimeter of a rectangle = 42 cm

b) 7m 50 cm and 5 m 25cm
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
Length = 7 m 50 cm
Breadth = 5 m 25 cm
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (7m 50cm + 5 m 25 cm)
= 2 x (12 m 75 cm)
Perimeter of a rectangle = 25 m 50 cm

5. Find the perimeter of a square whose each side is:

a) 20 m
Perimeter of a square = 4 x side.
Side = 20 m
= 4 x 20 m
Perimeter of a square = 80 m

b) 11 m 25 cm
Perimeter of a square = 4 x side.
Side = 11m 25 cm
= 4 x 11m 25 cm
Perimeter of a square = 45 m.
6. The figure shows Ghanshyam’s square shaped field. Find the perimeters of
the cabbage and cauliflower patches. Are they equal?

Solution:
Perimeter of a cabbage patch = 90 + 45 + 60 + 25 + 30 + 70
= 320 m
Perimeter of a cauliflower patch = 45 + 90 + 20 + 30 + 25 + 60
= 270 m
Perimeter of cabbage patch = 320 m
Perimeter of cauliflower patch = 270 m
So, the perimeter of cabbage patch and cauliflower patch are not equal.
7. Mr. Khetri wants to build a wall around his rectangular plot of land. The
length of the plot is 500m and the breadth is 400 m. If the cost of building the
wall is Rs 1000 per meter, how much will he have to spend?

Solution:
Length of plot = 500 m
Breadth of plot = 400 m
Perimeter of plot = 2 (length+ breadth)
= 2 (500 +400)
= 2 x 900
Perimeter of the plot = 1800 m
Cost of building a wall per meter = Rs 1000
Therefore ,
Cost of 1800m wall = 1800 x 1000
= 1800000
Total money will be spent = Rs. 1800000.
 EXERCISE 19- B
1. The side of each square is 1 cm. Find the area of each shaded part. If half is
shaded, count it up with another half. If less than half is shaded ignore.
a)

Shaded square parts = 9

Area of 1 square = side x side
= 1 x 1 = 1 sq cm
Therefore,
Area of 9 squares = 9 sq cm.
b)

Shaded square parts = 19

Area of 1 square = 1sq cm
= 19 x 1 sq cm = 19 sq cm
Therefore,
Area of 19 squares = 19 sq cm
c)

Shaded square parts = 12

Half shaded square parts= 8
= 8÷2=4
Total shaded parts = 12 + 4 = 16
Therefore,
Area of 16 squares = 16 sq cm.
d)

Shaded square parts = 17

Area of 1 shaded square = 1 sq cm
= 17 x 1 sq cm = 17 sq cm
Therefore,
Area of 17 shaded square = 17 sq cm
2. Find the area of a rectangle of sides.
a) 9mm and 7mm
Area of a rectangle = length x breadth
= 9 mm x 7 mm
Area of a rectangle = 63 sq mm.
b) 115 cm and 40 cm
Area of a rectangle = length and breadth
= 115 cm x 40 cm
Area of a rectangle = 4600 sq cm.

3. Find the area of a square of side.

a) 5mm
Area of a square = side x side
= 5 mm x 5 mm
Area of a square = 25 sq mm.
b) 40 m
Area of a square = side x side
= 40 m x 40 m
Area of a square = 1600 sq m.

4. The length of a book is 26 cm and its breadth is 20 cm. What is the area of
its front cover?
Solution:
Length of book = 26 cm
Breadth of book = 20cm
Area of a rectangle = length x breadth
Area of book’s front cover = 26 x 20 cm
Area of book’s front cover = 520 sq cm.
5. Irene spreads a carpet of length 3m and breadth 2m in her room. If the
length of the room is 4m and breadth 3m. What area of the room is left
uncarpeted?

Solution:
Length of the room = 4m
Breadth of the room = 3m
Area of the room = 4 x 3 = 12 sq m

Length of the carpet = 3m

Breadth of the carpet= 2m
Area of the carpet = 3x2
= 6 sq m.

Area of the room uncarpeted = 12 – 6 = 6 sq m.

Area of the room uncarpeted = 6 sq m
6. Each side of a square piece of cardboard is 40cm. What is the area of
cardboard? How many square pieces of side 2 cm can be cut out of it?

Solution:
Side of a cardboard = 40 cm
Area of a square = side x side
Area of a cardboard = 40 x 40
= 1600 sq cm.
Side Cut out of square piece = 2 cm
Area of cut out square piece = 2 x 2
= 4 sq cm
Therefore,
Total no of square pieces cut out = 1600 ÷ 4 = 400
400 square pieces can be cut out from the cardboard.
