Free Perimeter, Area and Volume 01 Practice Test - 5th Grade
Question 1
Volume of a rectangular prism (cuboid) is:
length × breadth
length + breadth
length × breadth × height
2 (length + breadth)
SOLUTION
Solution : C
Volume of a rectangular prism (cuboid) = length × breadth × height
Question 2
Perimeter of an irregular polygon is:
SOLUTION
Solution : A
Perimeter of an irregular polygon is the sum of length of all the sides.
For the irregular polygon given below,
the perimeter is 4 cm + 9 cm + 10 cm + 8 cm which is equal to 31 cm.

Question 3
Calculate the area bounded by the square shown below:
6 cm2
12 cm2
24 cm2
36 cm2
SOLUTION
Solution : D
Given:
side of the square is 6 cm.
area of square = side2
∴ Area of the given figure = (6cm)2 = 36 cm2
Question 4
What is the volume of the object if the volume of each block is 1 cm3?
10 cm3
100 cm3
1000 cm3
10,000 cm3
SOLUTION
Solution : A
Given: Volume of each block is 1 cm3
There are 10 blocks in the given figure.
⇒ Volume of the object =10×1 cm3=10 cm3
Question 5
The perimeter of the figure given below is 15 cm. Find the length of the third side.
6 cm
11 cm
5 cm
4 cm
SOLUTION
Solution : D
Given : Perimeter of the given figure = 15 cm
Let the length of the third side be x.
Perimeter of a figure = Sum of lengths of its sides = AB + BC + AC
⇒ 15 cm = 6 cm + 5 cm + x
⇒ 15 cm = 11 cm + x
⇒ x = 15 cm - 11 cm
⇒ x = 4 cm
Therefore, the third side is 4 cm long.
Question 6
In which of the following cases do we need to calculate area ?
SOLUTION
Solution : A
Area is the total space occupied by any 2D shape.
∴ To know the number of tiles required to cover a floor, we need to find the total space of the floor or the area of the floor first and then will have to divide this area by the area of one tile.
To find the amount of water in the lake we need to find the capacity or volume occupied by the lake.
To find the cost of fencing a ground we need to calculate the perimeter of the ground.
To find the amount of paint in a container we need to find the capacity of the container which is its volume. So we need to calculate its volume.
Question 7
Volume of a cube with side 4 cm is:
8 cm3
16 cm3
32 cm3
64 cm3
SOLUTION
Solution : D
Given: Length of the side = 4 cm
Volume of the cube =Side×Side×Side
=4 cm×4 cm×4 cm
=64 cm3
Question 8
Which of these shapes has the largest area?
Note: Area of each small square = 1 cm2
SOLUTION
Solution : C
Given: Area of each small square = 1cm2
⇒ Area of figure in option A = 8 cm2
Area of figure in option B = 9 cm2
Area of figure in option C = 10 cm2
Area of figure in option D = 7 cm2
∴ The figure in option C has the largest area.
Question 9
If the perimeter and area of a square are numerically equal, then what will be the length of the side of the square?
1 unit
2 units
3 units
4 units
SOLUTION
Solution : D
Given: Perimeter = Area (Numerically)
Perimeter of square =4×Side
Area of square =Side×Side
Perimeter = Area (Given)
⇒ 4×Side =Side×Side
⇒ Side=4 units
∴ If the Perimeter and area of a square are equal, then the side is 4 units long.
Question 10
Ali runs along the sides of a square park whose side is 10 m long. Find the distance covered by Ali if he runs around the park twice.
40 m
60 m
80 m
100 m
SOLUTION
Solution : C
Given: Side of the Square = 10 m
Ali is running along the boundary of the park.
This implies that the distance covered by him will be equal to the perimeter of the park.
Perimeter of a square = 4 × Side
⇒ Perimeter of the square park = 4 × 10 m
= 40 m
Distance covered by Ali in two rounds of the park = 2 × Perimeter of the park
= 2 × 40 m
= 80 m
Therefore, distance covered by Ali is 80 m.
