# Perimeter And Area

## Square and Rectangle

Perimeter of square = 4 xx Side
Area of square = Side xx Side = (Side)2
Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 xx (Length + Breadth)
Area of Rectangle = Length xx Breadth

### Exercise 11.1

Question 1: The length and the breadth of a rectangular piece of land are 500m and 300 m respectively. Find (i) Its areas (ii) the cost of the land, if 1m2 of the land costs Rs 10,000.

Answer: Given: Length = 500 m and breadth = 300 m, cost of 1m2 of land = Rs. 10,000

Area = Length xx Breadth
= 500 xx 300 = 150000 sq m

Price of Land = Area xx cost per sq m
= 150000 xx 10000 = Rs. 1,500,000,000

Question 2: Find the area of a square park whose perimeter is 320 m.

Answer: Given, Perimeter of a square park = 320 m

Side = Perimeter ÷ 4
= 320 ÷ 4 = 80 m

Area of Square = Side2
= 80^2= 6400 sq m

Question 3: Find the breadth of a rectangular plot of land, if its area is 440 m2 and the length is 22m. Also find its perimeter.

Answer: Given: Length = 22m and area of the field = 440 m2

Area = Length xx Breadth
So, Breadth = Area ÷ Length
= 440 ÷ 22 = 20 m

Now, perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
= 2(22 + 20) = 2 xx 42 = 84 m

Question 4: The perimeter of a rectangular sheet is 100 cm. If the length is 35 cm, find its breadth. Also find the area.

Answer: Given perimeter = 100 cm and length = 35 cm
Or, 100 = 2(35 + text(breadth))
Or, 35 + text(breadth) = 50
Or, breadth = 50 – 35 = 15 cm

Area = length xx breadth
= 35 xx 15 = 525 sq cm

Question 5: The area of a square park is the same as of a rectangular park. If the side of the square park is 60m and the length of the rectangular park is 90m, find the breadth of the rectangular park.

Answer: Given; side of square park = 60 m and length of rectangular park = 90 m

Area of square park = Side2
= 60^2 = 3600 sq m

Area of rectangular park = Area of rectangular park
Hence, 3600 = 90 xx \text(breadth)
Or, breadth = 3600 ÷ 90 = 40 m

Question 6: A wire is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 40cm and breadth is 22cm. If the same wire is rebent in the shape of a square, what will be the measure of each side? Also find which shape encloses more area?

= 2(40 + 22) = 2 xx 62 = 124 cm

Perimeter of rectangle = Perimeter of square
Or, 124 = 4 xx \text(Side)
Or, Side = 124 ÷ 4 = 31 cm

Now, area of square = Side2
= 31^2 = 961 sq cm

Area of rectangle = Length xx Breadth
= 40 xx 22 = 880 sq cm

Hence, area of square > area of rectangle

Question 7: The perimeter of a rectangle is 130 cm. If the breadth of the rectangle is 30 cm, find its length. Also find the area of the rectangle.

Or, 130 = 2(text(length) + 30)
Or, text(length) + 30 = 65
Or, length = 65 – 30 = 35 cm

Area of rectangle = Length xx Breadth
= 35 xx 30 = 1050 sq cm

Question 8: A door of length 2 m and breadth 1m is fitted in a wall. The length of the wall is 4.5 m and the breadth is 3.6 m (See Figure). Find the cost of white washing the wall, if the rate of white washing the wall is Rs 20 per m2.

Answer: Given; length of wall = 4.5 m, breadth of wall = 3.6 m, length of door = 2 m and breadth of door = 1 m
Rate of whitewashing = Rs. 20 per sq m

Area of wall = Length xx Breadth
= 4.5 xx 3.6 = 16.2 sq m

Area of door = Length xx Breadth
= 2 xx 1 = 2 sq m

Area of wall – Area of door
= 16.2 – 2 = 14.2 sq m

Cost of whitewashing = Area of wall (leaving the door) xx rate
= 14.2 xx 20 = Rs. 284
