Question 2
The perimeter of a rectangular field is 50 m. If the length of the field is 13 m. Find the area of the field. [2 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that,
The perimeter of a rectangular field is 50 m.
The length of the field is 13 m.
Perimeter of rectangular field = 2( length + breadth)
Or, Breadth=perimeter2−length
Or, Breadth = 25 - 13 = 12 m
Area of rectangle = length × breadth =13×12 = 156 sq. m
The area of the rectangular field is 156 m2.

Radius: 1 Mark
Area: 1 Mark
Given that,
The entire length of the boundary is 628 m.
The perimeter of a cricket of radius r meters is 2×π×r metersGiven perimeter of the ground = 628 m
r = 628÷(2×π) =100 m
The distance of the boundary from the centre of the pitch is 100 m.
The area of a circle is π×(r)2Area of the ground = π×(100)2
= 31400 m2
The area of the ground is 31400 m2.

[4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Application: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Marks
Given that,
The side of the square ABCD = 10 m.
Now the diameter of the circle will be equal to the side of the square ABCD = 10 m.
Area of the square = a2
Area of the square is (10) × (10) = 100 m2Given diameter of circle = 10 m
Radius of the circle = 102 = 5 m
Area of the circle
= π × (r2)
= π × (52)= 78.5m2
Area of the triangle BDE
= 12 × (BD) × (DE)
= 0.5 × (10) × (10)
= 50 m2
Area of the shaded region
= Area of square ABCD - Area of circle + Area of triangle BDE
= 71.5 m2
So, the area of the shaded region is 71.5 m2.
Question 12
A man wants to paint two of his walls. The cost of painting is Rs10 per cm2. How much money is required by him to paint a rectangular wall of length 400 cm and breadth 900 cm and a circular wall of diameter 126 cm? [4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that
The cost of painting is Rs10 per cm2.
The length of the rectangular wall=400 cm
The breadth of the rectangular wall=900 cm
Area of the rectangle = length × breadth
On substituting the values we getArea of the rectangle = (400) × (900)
= 360000 cm2
Money required to paint the rectangular wall = (10) × (360000)
= Rs.3600000
The diameter of the circular wall = 126 cm.
Radius of the wall, r = 1262 = 63 cm
The area a circle is given by, Area = π×r2
On substituting the values we get,
Area of the circular wall
= 227×63×63 = 12474 cm2
Money required to paint the circular wall
= 12474×10 = Rs 124740
The total cost of painting
= 3600000 + 124740 = Rs 3724740
Hence, the total cost of painting the walls is Rs 37,24,740.
Question 13
A rectangular park is 40m wide and 35m long. A path 2.5m wide is constructed outside the path. Find the area of the path. [4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Steps: 2 Marks
Application: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
The given area will be inscribed between two rectangles of length and breadth.
We can imagine as a rectangle whose length has been increased on both the sides.
So, the sides of the outer triangle are,
Length = 35 + 5 = 40 m
And breadth = 40 + 5 = 45 m40m and 45m, 40m and 35m respectively.
The area of the footpath = Area of outer rectangle - Area of inner rectangle
Area of the rectangle = length×breadth
∴ On substituting the values we get;Area required = (45) × (40) - (40) × (35)
= 1800 - 1400
= 400m2
The area of the footpath is 400m2.
Question 14
DL and BM are the heights on sides AB and AD respectively of parallelogram ABCD. If the area of the parallelogram is 1470 cm2, AB = 35 cm and AD = 49 cm, find the length of BM and DL. [4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution : Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Each Answer: 1 Mark
Given: area of parallelogram = 147 cm
Base (AB) = 35 cm and base (AD) = 49 cm
Since area of parallelogram = base×height
On substituting the values we get,
⇒ 1470=35×DL
⇒ DL=147035
⇒ DL = 42 cm
Again, Area of parallelogram = base×height
⇒ 1470=49×BM
⇒ BM=147049
⇒ BM = 30 cm
Thus, the lengths of DL and BM are 42 cm and 30 cm respectively.
Question 15
A man wants to cover his floor with carpet which costs Rs100 per square meters. His floor is in the form of a square which has a perimeter of 24 meters. What will be the cost of carpeting the floor? [4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Result: 1 Mark
Given that :
A man wants to cover the floor with carpet which costs Rs 100.
His floor is in the form of a square.
Perimeter of the floor = 24 meters
Let the length of each side of the square be 'a'.
Perimeter of a square = 4a = 24 meters
Length of one side, a = 244 = 6 meters
Area of a sqaure = a × a = 6 × 6 = 36 square meters
Total Cost of carpeting the floor = 36 × 100 = Rs 3600.
The total cost of carpeting the floor is Rs 3600.
