Exercise 3.1

 

1. The table given below contains some measures of the rectangle. Find the unknown values.


i) Length of rectangle (l) = 5 cm

breadth (b) = 8 cm

Perimeter P = 2 ( l + b ) units

= 2 (5 + 8) cm

= 2 × 13 cm = 26 cm

Area A = l + b sq. units

= 5 × 8 sq. cm

= 40 sq. cm

ii) Length of rectangle (l) = 13 cm

Breadth b = ?

Perimeter P = 2 ( l + b ) units  = 54 cm

2 (13 + b) = 54

13 + b = 27

b = 27 – 13 = 14 cm

Breadth b = 14 cm

Area A = l × b

= 13 × 14 sq.cm

= 182 sq.cm

iii) Length of rectangle l = ?

Breadth b = 15 cm

Perimeter P = 2 ( l + b ) = 60 cm

l + b  = 30

l = 30 – 15 = 15 cm

Length l = 15 cm

Area A = l × b sq.units

= 15 × 15 = 225 sq.cm

iv) Length of rectangle l = 10 m

Breadth b = ?

Area A = l × b sq. units  = 120 sq.m

10 × b = 120

b = 120/10 = 12 m

Breadth b = 12 m

Perimeter P = 2 ( l + b ) units

= 2 ( 10 + 12) m

= 2 × 22 m = 44 m

v)  Length of rectangle l = ?

Breadth b = 4 feet

Area A = l × b sq. units  = 20 sq.feet

l × 4 = 20

l = 20/4 = 5 feet

Length l = 5 feet

Perimeter P = 2 ( l + b ) units

= 2 ( 5 + 4 ) feets

= 2 × 9 = 18 feets


 

2. The table given below contains some measures of the square. Find the unknown values.


i) Side of square S =  6 cm

 Perimeter P = 4S = 4 × 6 = 24 cm

 Area A = S × S = 6 × 6 = 36 sq.cm

ii) Perimeter of square P = 4S = 100 m

 S = 25 m

 Area A = S × S sq.unit

= 25 × 25 = 625 sq.m

iii) Area of square A = S × S = 49 sq.feet

 S × S = 7 × 7

 S = 7 feet

 Perimeter P = 4S = 4 × 7 = 28 feet


 

3. The table given below contains some measures of the right angled triangle. Find the unknown values.


i) In right angled triangle,

Base b = 20 cm

Height h = 40 cm

Area A = ½ bh sq.units

= 1/2 × 20 × 40 sq.cm

Area = 400 sq.cm = 400 sq.cm 

ii) In right angled triangle,

Base b = 5 feet

Height h = ?

Area A = ½ bh sq.units = 20 sq.feet

= 1/2 × 5 × h = 20

h = 20/5 × 2  = 8 feet

Height h = 8 feet

iii) In right angle triangle,

Base b = ?

Height h = 12 m

Area A = ½ bh sq.units = 24 sq.m.

= 1/2 × b × 12 = 24

b = 24 / 6 = 4 m

Base b = 4 m


 

4. The table given below contains some measures of the triangle. Find the unknown values.


i) Measures of sides of the triangle,

a = 6 cm

b = 5 cm

c = 2 cm

Perimeter P = a + b + c units

= 6 + 5 + 2 = 13 cm

ii) Measures of sides of the triangle,

a = ?

b = 8 m

c = 3 m

Perimeter P = a + b + c units = 17 m

=  a + 8 + 3 = 17 m

= a + 11 = 17

a = 17 – 11 = 6 m

Measure of one side a = 6 m

iii) Measures of sides of the triangle,

a =11 feet

b = ?

c  = 9 feet

Perimeter P = a + b + c units = 28 feet

= 11+ b + 9 = 28

= b + 20 = 28

b = 28 − 20 = 8 feet

Measure of one side b = 8 feet.



 

5. Fill in the blanks.

i) 5 cm2500 mm2

6. Find the perimeter and area of the following shapes.


i)

Measure of one side S = 4 cm

Number of sides = 12

Perimeter P = 12 × S = 12 × 4 = 48 cm

Measure of one side of the square S = 4 cm

Area A = S × S = 4 × 4 = 16 Sq.cm

Number of squares = 5

Area of 5 squares = 5 × 16 = 80 sq.cm

ii)

Height of right angled triangle = 4 cm

Hypoteouse = 5 cm

Height of one triangle + Hypotenuse = (4 + 5) cm

= 9 cm

Height and Hypotenuse of 4 right angled triangles = 4 × 9 = 36 cm

Perimeter P = 36 cm

Area of one right angled triangle A = ½  bh sq.units

= 1/2  × 3 × 4 = 6 sq.cm

Area of four triangles = 4 × 6 = 24 sq.cm

Measure of one side of the middle square

S = 3 cm

Area A = S × S sq.units

= 3 × 3 = 9 sq.cm

Total Area = Area of four triangle + Area of the middle square

= (24 + 9) sq.cm = 33 sq.cm

 iii)

Perimeter of the shape = (50 + 12 + 13 + 40 + 10 + 10 + 15) cm

 = 150 cm 

Length of rectangle l = 50 cm

Breadth b = 5 cm

Area A = l × b = 50 × 5 = 250 sq.cm

Area of triangle A = ½  bh

= 1/2  × 5 × 12 = 30 sq.cm

Area of square A = S × S = 10 × 10 = 100 sq.cm

Total area of the shape  = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle + Area of square

= (250 + 30 + 100) sq.cm

= 380 sq.cm

 

7. Find the perimeter and the area of the rectangle whose length is 6 m and breadth is 4 m.

Length of rectangle l = 6 m

Breadth b = 4 m

Perimeter P = 2 (l + b) units

= 2 (6 + 4) m

= 2 × 10 = 20 m

Area A =  l × b sq.units

= 6 × 4 = 24 sq.m

 

8. Find the perimeter and the area of the square whose side is 8 cm.

Side of the square S = 8 cm

Perimeter P = 4 S units

= 4 × 8 = 32 cm

Area A = S × S sq.units

= 8 × 8 = 64 sq.cm

 

9. Find the perimeter and the area of a right angled triangle whose sides are 6 feet, 8 feet and 10 feet.

Measures of the sides of the right angled 6 feet, 8 feet and 10 feet.

Perimeter P = (6 + 8+10) feet

= 24 feet

Area A = ½  bh sq. units

= 1/2 × 6 × 8 sq.cm

= 24 sq.feet

 

10. Find the perimeter of

i) A scalene triangle with sides 7 m, 8 m, 10 m.

Sides of scalene triangle a = 7 m, b = 8 m and c = 10 m

Perimeter P = a + b + c units

ii) An isosceles triangle with equal sides 10 cm each and third side is 7 cm.

Sides of isosceles triangle, a = 10 cm, b = 10 cm and c = 7 cm

Perimeter P = a + b + c units

= (10 + 10 + 7) cm = 27 cm

Perimeter P = 3 a = 3 × 6 = 18 cm

 

11. The area of a rectangular shaped photo is 820 sq. cm. and its width is 20 cm. What is its length? Also find its perimeter.

Area of a rectangular shaped photo = 820 sq.cm

l × b = 820 sq.cm.

width b = 20 cm

l × 20 = 820

l = 820 / 20  = 41 cm

length l  =  41 cm

Perimeter P = 2 (l + b) units

= 2 (41+ 20) cm

= 2 × 61 = 122 cm

Perimeter P = 122 cm

 

12. A square park has 40 m as its perimeter. What is the length of its side? Also find its area.

Perimeter of a square park P = 4 × S = 40 m

Side S = 40 / 4  = 10 cm

Side of the square park = 10 m

Area of the square park = S × S sq.units

= 10 × 10 sq.m

13. The scalene triangle has 40 cm as its perimeter and whose two sides are 13 cm and 15 cm, find the third side.

Perimeter of a scalene triangle = 40 cm

Measure of two sides a = 13 cm and b = 15 cm

The third side C = ?

Perimeter P = a + b + C = 40 cm

13 + 15 + C = 40

28 + C = 40

C = 40 – 28 = 12 cm

The third side = 12 cm

 

14. A field is in the shape of a right angled triangle whose base is 25 m and height 20 m. Find the cost of levelling the field at the rate of 45/- per sq. m2.

Base of a right angled triangle b = 25 m

Height h = 20 m

Area A = ½ bh units

= 1/2 × 25 × 20 sq.m.

= 250 sq.m.

The cost of levelling the field for l sq.m = ₹ 45

  The cost of levelling the field for 250 sq.m = ₹  45 × 250

= ₹ 11250

The cost of levelling the field = ₹  11250
