24.
A closed shape has 20 equal sides and one of its sides is 3 cm. Find its perimeter.
1.
Square of side (s) = 5 m
Perimeter = 4s
=4 (5)m = 20m
Also, Given, Each side is to be fenced with 2 rows of wire.
= 2 (20) = 40 m
1 m = Rs. 10
40 m = Rs. 10 \(\times\) 40
= 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
3.
Given length = 36 cm
(i) a square 4 s = \(36\Rightarrow s=\cfrac { 36 }{ 4 } =9\) cm
Each side of a square = 9 cm
(ii) an equilateral triangle 3s = \(36\Rightarrow s=\cfrac { 36 }{ 3 } =12\)
Each side of the triangle = 12 cm
4.
i) 5 cm2 = 500 mm2
ii) 26 m2 = 2,60,000 cm2
iii) 8 km2 = 80,00,000 m2
5.
Perimeter of a rectangle, P = 2 (l + b) units.
= 2 (60+15) cm = 150 cm.
Area of a rectangle, A = (l \(\times\) b) sq. units.
= 60 \(\times\) 15
= 900 sq. cm.
Perimeter of a square, P = (4 \(\times\) s) units
= (4 \(\times\) 30) cm = 120 cm
Area of a square, A = (s \(\times\) s) sq. units.
= 30 \(\times\) 30
= 900 sq. cm.
There is no change in their areas. But, the rectangular mat will have longer perimeter
6.
Perimeter = Total length of the boundary
= (6 + 2 + 10 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 9) cm
= 48 cm
7.
Perimeter of the equilateral triangle, P = 129
a + a + a = 129
3 \(\times\) a = 129
\(a={129\over3}\)
= 43 cm
The side of the equilateral triangle is 43 cm.
8.
Side of a square plot = 12 m
Perimeter of the square plot = (4 \(\times\) s) units
= 4 × 12 = 48m
Cost of fencing the plot at the rate of Rs. 15 per metre = 48 × 15 = Rs. 720
9.
a = 3 cm
b = 4 cm
c = 5 cm
P = (a + b + c) units
= 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 cm
Perimeter of the triangle is 12 cm.
10.
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.
11.
(i)In rectangle, Perimeter = 14m
Length = 4m
Breadth =?
P = 2(I + b)
14 = 2(4 + b)
14 = 8 + 2b
14 - 8 = 2b
\(6=2b\Rightarrow b=\cfrac { 6 }{ 2 } =3\)
\(\therefore\) Breadth = 3m.
(ii) In isosceles triangle 2 sides are equal.
P = 21 cm, 3rd side = 5 cm.
P = side 1 + side 2 + side 3
21 = (a + b + c)
21 = (a + a + 5)
\(21a=2a+5\Rightarrow 2a=21-5\)
2a = 16
\(2=\cfrac { 16 }{ 2 } =8\)
\(\therefore\) Equal sides = a = 3 cm, b = 8 cm.
12.
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.
13.
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
14.
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
15.
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
16.

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
17.
Side of the Square (s) = 8 cm
P = 4s
P = 4 \(\times\) 8 = 32 cm
Area = S2
= 82 = 64 cm2
18.
Length (l) = 6 m
breadth (b) = 4 m
Perimeter of the rectangle (P) = 2 (1+b) units
= 2 (6 + 4)
= 2(10) = 20m
Area(A) = l\(\times\)b = (6 \(\times\) 4)m2
= 24m
\(\therefore\) P = 20 m, A = 24 m2
19.
(c)
There will be a change in both area and perimeter
20.
(d)
3 times
21.
(c)
4
22.
(b)
less than 60 cm
23.
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
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
