Correct Answer: 288 m
Explanation:
Let length of the rectangular field = 7k m
and breadth of the rectangular field = 2k m
According to the question,
Area of a rectangular field = Length x Breadth
? 3584 = 7k x 2k
? 14 x k2 = 3584
? k2 = 3584/14 = 256
? k2 = 256 = 16 m
? Length of rectangular field = 7k = 7 x 16 = 112 m
And breadth of rectangular field = 2 x 16 = 32 m
? Perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length x Breadth)
= 2(112 + 32)
= 2 x 144
= 288 m
Correct Answer: 52 cm
Explanation:
Let l = 4k and b = 9k
Area of rectangle = l x b
144 = 4k x 9k
? k2 = 144/36
? k2 = 4
? k = 2
? l = 8 cm and b = 18 cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
= 2(8 + 18)
= 2 x 26
= 52 cm
Correct Answer: 30 cm
Explanation:
Let length = 2x and breadth = x
According to the question,
2x - x = 5
? x = 5
? Required perimeter = 2(2x + x)
= 6x
= 30 cm
Correct Answer: 240 sq m
Explanation:
Let length of rectangle = 5k
and breadth of rectangle = 3k
According to the quecation,
5k - 3k = 8
? 2k =8
? k = 4
? Lenght = 5k = 5 x 4 = 20 m
Breadth = 3k = 3 x 4 = 12 m
? Required area = Lenght x Breadth
= 20 x 12 = 240 sq m
Correct Answer: 6 cm and 10 cm
Explanation:
Let the third side be x.
According to the question,
x + 20 = 26
? x = 26 - 20 = 6 cm
? Each equal side = 20/2 = 10 cm
Correct Answer: ? 1280
Explanation:
Area of the carpet = Area of the room
= 8 x 6 = 48 sq m
Width of the carpet = 75/100 = 3/4 m
Length of the carpet = 48 x (4/3)
= 16 x 4 = 64 m
? Cost of carpeting = 64 x 20 = ? 1280
Correct Answer: 68
Explanation:
l1 = 20 cm, A1 = 200 sq cm
? b1 = 200/20 = 10 cm
Now, A2 = 200 x 6/5 = 240 sq cm
b2 = 10 cm
? l2 = 240/10 = 24 cm
? Perimeter of new rectangle = 2(l2 + b2)
= 2(24 + 10) = 2 x 34 = 68 cm
Correct Answer: 33 m
Explanation:
Area to the rectangular field = 12375/15 = 825 sq m
According to the question,
(L x B) = 825 [L = length and B = breadth]
? L x 25 = 825
? L = 825/25 = 33 m
Correct Answer: 269 sq cm
Explanation:
According to the question,
4a = 68 [ where a = side]
?a = 68/4 = 17 cm
? Required area = a2
= (17)2 = 289 sq cm
Correct Answer: 32 cm
Explanation:
a1 = 68/4 = 17 cm
and a2 = 60/4 = 15 cm
[ where a1 and a2 are sides]
According to the question,
Area of the third square = [(17)2 - (15)2 ]
= (17 + 15) (17 - 15)
= 32 x 2
= 64 sq cm
Let a3 = Side of the third square.
According to the question, (a3)2 = 64 sq cm
? a3 = ?64 = 8 cm
? Perimeter of the third square = 4 x a3 = 4 x 8 = 32 cm.
