Perimeter = 4s
=4 (5)m = 20m
Also, Given, Each side is to be fenced with 2 rows of wire.
= 2 (20) = 40 m

= Rs. 400/-
2.
The length of a rectangular park is 14
m more than its breadth
1 = b + 14m -------- (1)
Perimeter P = 200 m
2 (1+ b) = 200
2 (1+ 2b) = 200
2 (b + 14) + 2b = 200 [by (1)]
2b + 28 + 2b = 200
4b = 200-28
\(4b=172\Rightarrow b=\cfrac { 172 }{ 4 } =43\)
b = 43 m
1 = b + 14 m
= 43 m + 14 m = 57 m
1 = 57 m
Area = Ib sq. units
= ( 57 \(\times\) 43) m2
\(\therefore\) I = 57 m, A = 2451 m2

Peter
P = 2(l + b)
= 2 (40 + 30) m \(\Rightarrow\) 2
(70) m = 140 m
\(\Rightarrow\) 2 rounds \(\Rightarrow\) 2 (140) m = 280 m
\(\Rightarrow\) Difference = 400 m - 280 m
= 120 m
Ans: Rahim, 120m
4.

Perimeter (P) = a + b + C

length, l = ?
2 (l + b) = 6
2 (l + 1) = 6
\(l+1={6\over2}\)
= 3
l = 3 – 1
= 2 m
The length of the black board is 2 m.
13.
a = 3 cm

15.
l = 12 cm
b = 10 cm
P = 2 (l + b) units
= 2(12 + 10)
= 2× 22
= 44 cm
Perimeter of the rectangle is 44 cm.
16.
From the figure,
Complete squares = 9
half squares = \(\cfrac { 13 }{ 2 } \)
\(\therefore\) Approximate area = Complet esquares + half squares
= \(9+\cfrac { 13 }{ 2 } \)
= \(\cfrac { 18+13 }{ 2 } =\cfrac { 31 }{ 2 } \)
= 15.5 sq.units
17.
Total area of the shaded portion = Area of square + 2 (Area of triangle) + Area of rectangle
Square: side = 6 cm
Triangles: Same Triangles \(\Rightarrow\)b = 3, h = 4
Rectangle : b = 6 cm, I = 9 cm
\(\therefore\)Total area = s2 + 2 (\(\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } bh\) ) + lb
= 62 + 2 (\(\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \)\(\times\) 3 \(\times\) 24)+ 6 \(\times\) 9
= 36 + 12 + 54
= 102 cm2
18.
Square of side = 10 m
Breadth of rectangle = 8 m
Square:
Area of the square = s2 sq. units
= 102 = 100m2
P = 4s = 4(10) = 40 m
Rectangle:
Area of the rectangle = I\(\times\) b sq. units
b = 8 m
P = 40 m
2 (l+ b) = 40
2(l + 8) = 40
2l + 16 = 40
2l = 40 -16
\(l=\cfrac { 24 }{ 2 } =12\)
Area of the rectangle = (12 \(\times\) 8) m2
Difference = Area of the square - Area of the rectangle
= 100 - % = 4m2
Square plot has the greater area and 4 m2
19.
Side of square = s unit
The side of square is made one - fourth
\(\Rightarrow \cfrac { 1 }{ { 4 }^{ 2 } } =\cfrac { 1 }{ 16 } \) times
\(\therefore\) Area of the new square is reduced to\(\cfrac { 1 }{ 6 } \) times to that of original
20.
To prove: Square B = 2 (Square A)
Let the side of the square B = 4 cm
P = 4s = 4 \(\times\) 4 = 1.6.cm
Next, The side of the square A = 2 cm
P = 4s = 4 \(\times\) 2 = 8 cm
\(\therefore\) Square B = 16 = 2 (8) = 2 square A
\(\therefore\) Perimeter of square B is twice that of square A.
21.
Length of the string = 48 cm
No. of possible pairs = 12

22.
l = 3b
P = 64 cm
2 (I + b) = 64
2(3b + b) = 64
2 (4b) = 64
\(8b=64\Rightarrow b=\cfrac { 64 }{ 8 } 8\)cm
I = 3 (8) = 24 crn
The sides of the rectangle I = 24 cm, b = 8 cm
23.

breadth = 20 cm
Side of the square = 10 cm
Area of the rectangle = lb
= ( 40 \(\times\) 20)cm2
= 800 cm2
(side) s = 10cm
Area of a square (S2) = 102 = 100 cm2
No. of square = \(\cfrac { 800 }{ 100 } =8\)
24.
Each side of shape = 3 cm
\(\therefore\) 20 equal sides perimeter = 20
times 3cm
P = 20 \(\times\) 3 = 60 cm
\(\therefore\) P = 60 cm
25.
(i) Given :
Perimeter = 12 times 4 cm

= \(4\left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left( 5 \right) \left( 4 \right) \right) +1\left( { 3 }^{ 2 } \right) \)
= 4 \(\times\) 5 \(\times\) 2 + 9
= 40 + 9 = 49 cm2
(iii) Given :
Perimeter = (50 + 12 + l3 + 40 + 10 +10 + 10 + 5) cm
= 150 cm
= \(\left( lb+\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } bh+{ s }^{ 2 } \right) { cm }^{ 2 }\)
= \(\left( 50\times 5 \right) +\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \times 12\times 5+{ 10 }^{ 2 }\)
= 250 + 30 + 100
= 380 cm2
\(\therefore\) P = 150 cm, A = 380 cm2
26.
(i) Given:
Length (1) = 5 cm
breadth (b) = 8 cm
Perimeter = 2 (I + b)
= 2 (5 + 8)

Perimeter (P) = 54 cm
To find: b and A
\(b=\cfrac { P-2l }{ 2 } \)
= \(\cfrac { 54-2(13) }{ 2 } \)
= \(\cfrac { 54-26 }{ 2 } =\cfrac { 28 }{ 2 } =14\)
b = 14 cm
Area (A) = lb = 13 \(\times\) 14
A = 182 cm2
(iii) Given:
Breadth (b) = 15 cm
Perimeter (P) = 60 cm
To find: 1 and A
\(I=\cfrac { P-2b }{ 2 } \)
= \(\cfrac { 60-2(15) }{ 2 } =\cfrac { 60-30 }{ 2 } =\cfrac { 30 }{ 2 } \)
1 = 15 cm
A = lb = 15 \(\times\) 15 = 225
A = 225 cm2
(iv) Given :

= 2(9) = 18
P = 18 feet
27.
A square of side = 2 cm
A rectangle of length = 15 cm
and
breadth= 10 cm
Perimeter of the combined shape = Perimeter of square + Perimeter of rectangle.

Perimeter of the combined shape = 10 cm + 15 cm + 10 cm + 2 cm + 2 cm + 2 cm + 13 cm
\(\therefore\) P = 54 cm.
28.
Perimeter = 40 cm
Two sides are 13 cm and 15 cm
To find: 3rd side (c)
a + b + C = 40 \(\Rightarrow\) 13 + 15 + c = 40
\(\Rightarrow\) 28 +c = 40
c = 40 - 28 = 12cm
\(\therefore\) Third side = 12 cm
29.
Perimeter (P) = 40 m
Side (8) =?
Area (A) =?
4S = P
\(4S=40\Rightarrow S=\cfrac { 40 }{ 4 } =10m\)
A = S2 = 102 = 100m2
\(\therefore\) Side (S) = 10 m, Area (A) = 100 m2
30.
Area of a rectangle = 820 sq. cm
Width (b) = 20 cm
Length (l) =?
Perimeter =?
\(I=\cfrac { A }{ b } \)
= \(\cfrac { 820 }{ 20 } =41\\ \)
= =2(41+20)
= 2 (61) = 122 cm
\(\therefore\) I = 41 cm , P = 122 cm
31.

Sides are = 6 feet, 8 feet and 10 feet
Perimeter = ( a + b + c) feet
= (6+8+10) = 24 feet.
Area = \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \)bh.sq.feet
= \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \times 6\times 8\)
= 3 \(\times\) 8 = 24 feet
\(\therefore\) P = 24 feet, A = 24 sq. feet
