Covered Area Number Area

1 Fully filled squares 9 1×9=9
2 Half-filled squares 0 1
0× =0
2
3 More than Half filled squares 0 0×1=0
4 Less than half filled squares 0 0×0=0

We have,
9 full squares
So, Area = 9(1)
= 9 square units

3 More than Half filled squares 0 0×1=0
 4 Less than half filled squares 0 0×0=0
We have,

So, Area = 5(1)
= 5 square units

Ex 10.3
1. Find the areas of the rectangles whose sides are:
(a) 3 cm and 4 cm
 Length = l = 3 cm
Breadth = b = 4 cm
Area =l×b
=3×4
= 12 sq. cm
= 12 cm2

(b) 12 m and 21 m

Length = l = 12 m
Breadth = b = 21 cm
Area =l×b
= 12 × 21
= 252 sq. m
= 252 m2

2. Find the areas of the squares whose sides are:

(b) 14 cm
 Side of the square = a = 14 cm
Area of the square = a × a
= 14 × 14
= 196 sq. cm
= 196 cm2

∴ Area of square is 196 cm2

(c) 5 m

Side of the square = a = 5 m

Area of the square = a × a
=5×5
= 25 sq. m
= 25 m2

∴ Area of square is 25 m2

3. The length and breadth of three rectangles are as given below:

(c) 4 m and 14 m. Which one has the largest area and which one has the smallest?
 Length of rectangle = l = 4 m
Breadth of rectangle = b = 14 m
Area of rectangle = l × b
= 4 × 14
= 56 sq. m
= 56 m2

So,
(c) has largest area, (b) has smallest area

4. The area of a rectangular garden 50 m long is 300 sq m. Find the width of the garden.

Length of rectangle = l = 50 m
Breadth of rectangle = b = ?
Area of rectangle = l × b
300 sq. cm = 50 m × b
50 × b = 300
 b = 300/50
b =6 m
∴ Width of garden is 6 m

6. A table-top measures 2 m by 1 m 50 cm. What is its area in square metres?

Length = l = 2 m
Breadth = b = 1 m 50 cm
= 1 m + 50 cm

= 1 m + 50 × m (1cm = m¿
100 100

= 3 m2

∴ Area is 3 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.
Area of floor that is not carpeted
 = Area of rectangular carpeted − Area of square carpeted

Rectangular Floor
Length of floor = l = 5 m
Breadth of floor = b = 4 m
Area of floor = l × b
=5×4
= 20 sq. m
= 20 m2

Square carpet
Side of carpet = a = 3m
Area of carpet = a × a
=3×3
= 9 sq. m
= 9 m2

Now, Area of floor that is not carpeted

= Area of rectangular carpeted − Area of square carpeted
= 20 − 9
= 11 m2

∴ 11 m2 of floor is not carpeted

Ex 21 A
1.
(ii) Find the perimeter of a rectangle in which: Length = 2 m 25 cm and breadth = 1 m 50 cm
Solution: Here 2 m 25 cm = 225 cm and 1 m 50 cm = 150 cm
We know, 2(l + b) = 2(225 + 150) = 2 x 375 = 750 cm = 7 m 50 cm

2. Find the cost of fencing a rectangular field 62 m long and 33 m wide at Rs 16 per meter.
Solution: Length of the field = 62 m
Breadth of the field = 33 m
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b) = 2(62 + 33) = 2 x 95 = 190 m
Cost of fencing per meter = Rs 16
Total cost of fencing = Rs (190 x 16) = Rs 3040.

5. The length and the breadth of a rectangular field are in the ratio 7 : 4. The cost of fencing the
field at Rs 25 per meter is Rs 3300. Find the dimensions of the field.
Solution: Total cost of fencing = Rs 3300
 Rate of fencing = Rs 25 per meter

9. Find the perimeter of

(i) A triangle of sides 7.8 cm, 6.5 cm and 5.9 cm,
Solution: Perimeter of the triangle = (7.8 + 6.5 + 5.9) = 20.2 cm

10. Find the perimeter of

(i) A regular pentagon of side 8 cm,
Solution: Perimeter of the pentagon = 5 x 8 = 40 cm.

1. Find the Circumference of a circle whose radius is
(i) 28 cm
22
Solution: Circumference = 2πr = 2 x x 28 = 176 cm

2. Find the circumference of a circle whose diameter is

(iii) 10.5 m
Solution: We know, circumference = π x Diameter
22
Circumference = x 10.5=33 cm
7

3. Find the radius of a circle whose circumference is 176 cm.

Solution: Let the radius of the circle is r cm.
We know, circumference(C) = 2πr
c
∴r=
2π
176 x 7
Or, r = = 28
2 x 22
Hence, the required radius is 28 cm.

5. Find the distance covered by the wheel of a car in 500 revolutions if the diameter of the
wheel is 77 cm.
77
Solution: Radius of the wheel = = 38.5 cm
2
Circumference of the wheel = 2πr
22
∴ C = (2 x x 38.5) = 242 cm = 2.42 m
7
In revolution, the wheel covers a distance equal to its circumference.
So, distance covered by the wheel in 1 revolution = 2.42 m
And, distance covered by the wheel in 500 revolution = (2.42 x 500) m = 1210 m

4. A carpet is 30 m 75 cm long and 80 cm wide. Find its cost at Rs 150 per square metres.
Solution: Here, Length = 30 m 75 cm = 30.75 m and wide = 0.80 m
Area of the field = (30.75 × 0.80) = 24.6 m2
 Rate of cultivation = Rs 150 per m2

∴ cost of cultivation = Rs (24.6 × 150) = Rs 3690.

7. A lane, 150 m long and 9 m wide, is to be paved with bricks, each measuring 22.5 cm by 7.5
cm. Find the number of bricks required.
Solution: Here, the area of the lane = (15000 × 900) = 13500000 c m2

And, the area of the bricks = (22.5 × 7.5) = 168.75 cm2

10. Two plots of land have the same perimeter. One is a square of side 64 m and the other is a
rectangle of length 70m. Find the breadth of the rectangular plot. Which plot has the greater
area and by how much?
Solution: Perimeter of the square = (4 × 64) = 256 m
Let, the breadth of the rectangle is x m.

Hence, the breadth of the rectangle plot is 58 m.

Now, the area of the square plot = (64)2 = 4096 m2

And, the area of the rectangle plot = (70 × 58) = 4060 m2

Hence, the square plot is greater than rectangle plot.

Area of the shaded potion = Area of the figure – Area of the unshaded figure
= Area of ABCD – Area of GBFE
= (CD x AD) – (GB x BF)
= (CD x AD) – {GB x (BC – FC)}
= {(12 x 9) – (7.5 x 10)} = (108 – 75) = 33 m2
