Free Mensuration Subjective Test 02 Practice Test - 6th grade
Question 1
What is Perimeter? [1 MARK]
SOLUTION
Solution :Concept: 1 Mark
The perimeter is the distance covered along the boundary forming a closed figure when you go round the figure once.
Question 2
Preeti has a rectangular field that is 10 ft long and 2 ft wide and she wants to cover it with soil. One bag of soil can cover 10ft2. How many bags will she need to cover the entire field? [2 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Area of the field
= 10×2
= 20ft2Area covered by one bag of soil
=10ft2
∴ No. of bags required
= Area of the fieldArea covered by one bag of soil=2010=2Hence, Preeti need 2 bags.
Question 3
The length of a rectangular notebook is 15 cm and the perimeter is 50 cm. Find the width and area of the notebook. [2 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Let the breadth of the notebook be y cm
Length = 15 cm (Given)
Perimeter = 50 cm (Given)
Perimeter of the rectangular notebook = Sum of the lengths of its four sides.⇒50=15+15+y+y
⇒50=2(15+y)
⇒25=(15+y)
⇒y=10
∴ The width of notebook is 10cm
Area covered by the notebook
=15cm×10cm
=150cm2
Question 4
How many sides a pentagon have? Shakshi was playing in a park which was shaped as a pentagon. Each side of the Pentagon was 30 m. She took one complete round on its boundary. What is the distance covered by her? [3 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Pentagon: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Pentagon has 5 sides.
Given that each side of the pentagon =30m
The perimeter of a regular pentagon
= 5× length of each side
= 5×30
= 150m
Hence, the distance covered by Shakshi is 150m.
Question 5
Jose wants new a carpet for his living room. His living room is 9m × 9m. If the carpet cost is Rs 12 per square metre, what is the cost of the carpet? [3 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Steps: 1 Mark
Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Area of the living room
= length × breadth = 9m×9m=81m2
The cost per m2 = ₹12
Cost for 81m2=12×81=₹972
Question 6
Find the perimeter of the following figure. [3 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Perimeter of the figure will be:= 3 cm + 6 cm + 3 cm + 3 cm + 10 cm + 3 cm + 2 cm + 3 cm + 2 cm + 3 cm
(Starting from the topmost edge and going clockwise)
=38cm
Question 7
If the cost of painting is Rs 250 per km, then what is the cost for painting the boundary of an equilateral triangle shaped garden having its sides as 4 km also find the area of the garden if its height is 3.46 km [4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Steps: 2 Marks
Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle:
= 3 × length of a side.
The total distance to be painted:
= 3 × 4 = 12 km
⇒ Hence, the total cost for painting:
= 250 × 12
= Rs 3000
⇒ Area of the garden
= 12× base × height.
= 12×42×3.46
= 3.46 km2
Question 8
Area of a rectangular carpet is 18m2 and its length is 3 m. Find: [4 MARKS]
(a) The breadth of the carpet.
(b) The perimeter of the carpet.
SOLUTION
Solution :Each Option: 2 Marks
(a) Area of a rectangular garden:
= length × breadth = 18
= 3 × breadth⇒ breadth = 183
= 6 m
(b) Perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth)
= 2 × (3+6) = 18m2
Question 9
Find the area of the figure given below (in sq. inches). [4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Steps: 2 Marks
Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
The area of the figure can be calculated in three steps:i) Find the area of the small rectangle.
ii) Find the area of the large rectangle.
iii) Find the area of the triangle
i) Area of the small rectangle:
= length × breadth
= 5 × 6
= 30 inches2
ii) Area of the large rectangle:
= 12 × 4
= 48 inches2
iii) Area of the triangle:
= 12× (height × base)
= 12× 4 × 3 = 6 inches2Area of the shape = Area of the small rectangle + Area of the large rectangle + Area of the triangle
= (30 + 48 + 6) inches2= 84 inches2
Question 10
The area of a square field is 576m2. Find [4 MARKS]
(i) The length of its sides
(ii) The length of its perimeter
(iii) Cost of fixing a fence along the boundary of the field at the rate of Rs 3.20 per metre.
SOLUTION
Solution : Steps: 2 Marks
Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
(i) Let l be the length of the square
⇒ Area of square = l2
⇒l2=576
⇒l=24 m
(ii) Perimeter of square = 4l
⇒4×(24)=96 m
(iii) Cost of fixing a fence
=₹(96×3.20)=₹307.20
