The length and the breadth of a rectangular piece of land are 500 m and
300 m respectively. Find
(i) its area
(ii) the cost of the land, if 1 m2 of the land costs ₹ 10,000.
Solution:
(i) We know that,
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= 500 × 300
= 150000 m2
(ii) Cost of 1 m2 of the land = Rs 10,000
Cost of 15000 m2 of the land = 10,000 × 150000 = Rs 1,500,000,000
Find the area of a square park whose perimeter is 320 m
Solution:
Perimeter of square park = 320 m
Let the length of each side of the square be ‘a’
Perimeter = Sum of all the sides
320 m = a + a + a + a
4a = 320 m
a = 80 m
Area of square = side × side = 80 × 80 m2 = 6400 m2
Find the breadth of a rectangular plot of land, if its area is 440 m 2 and the
length is 22 m. Also, find its perimeter
Solution:
Area of a rectangular plot of land = 440 m2
Length of the rectangular plot of land = 22 m
Let's say that breadth of rectangular plot of land = x
We know that,
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
440 = 22x
x = 440/22
x = 20 m
So, breadth of the rectangular plot of land = 20 m
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)
= 2 (22 + 20) m
= 84 m
The perimeter of a rectangular sheet is 100 cm. If the length is 35 cm,
find its breadth. Also find the area
Solution:
The perimeter of a rectangular sheet = 100 cm
Length of the rectangular sheet (l) = 35 cm
Let the breadth be 'b' cm
Perimeter of a rectangular sheet = 2 (Length + Breadth)
100 = 2l + 2b
100 = 2 × 35 + 2b
100 = 70 + 2b
2b =100 - 70
b = 30/2
b = 15 cm
Area of a rectangular sheet = Length × Breadth
= 35 cm × 15 cm
= 525 cm2
The area of a square park is the same as of a rectangular park. If the side
of the square park is 60 m and the length of the rectangular park is 90 m,
find the breadth of the rectangular park.
Solution:
Area of a square park = Area of a rectangular park
Side of the square park = 60 m
Length of the rectangular park = 90 m
Let the breadth of the rectangular park be 'b' m
Area of a square park = Area of a rectangular park
Side × Side = Length × Breadth
60 m × 60 m = 90 m × b
b = 3600 m2 / 90 m
b = 40 m
A wire is in the shape of a rectangle. Its
length is 40 cm and breadth is 22 cm. 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?
Solution: Let us see what happens when a wire is in the shape of a
rectangle and is rebent in the shape of a square. Here, we are discussing
about the boundary of the square and rectangle. This means we need to
know the perimeter of the rectangle and square. Since we are using the
same wire to make the square, the perimeter of the rectangle will be the
same as the perimeter of the square.
perimeter of square = perimeter of rectangle
Let us find the perimeter of the rectangle and use it to find the side of the
square.
Length of the rectangle = 40 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 22 cm
Using this equation we can find the length of the side of the square.
4 × Side = 2 (Length + Breadth)
4 × Side = 2 (40 + 22)
4 × Side = 2 × 62
4 × Side = 124
Side = 124/4
Side of square = 31 cm
Now, let us find the area of the square to check which shape encloses
more area.
Area of square = side × side
= 31 cm × 31 cm
= 961 cm2
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
= 40 cm × 22 cm
= 880 cm2
Hence, we can see that the area of the square is 961 cm2 and the area of
the rectangle is 880 cm2. This shows that the square shape encloses more
area.
This shows that when a wire is in the shape of a rectangle and is rebent
in the shape of a square, we can easily find the side of the square and
compare the areas.
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
Solution:
Breadth of the rectangle = 30 cm
Perimeter of a rectangle = 130 cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × [Length(l) + Breadth(b)]
130 cm = 2 × (l + 30 cm)
130 cm = 2l + 60 cm
2l = 130 cm - 60 cm
2l = 70 cm
l = 70/2 cm
l = 35 cm
Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth
= (35 × 30) cm2
= 1050 cm2
A door of length 2 m and breadth 1 m is fitted in a wall. The length of the
wall is 4.5 m and the breadth is 3.6 m (Fig11.6). Find the cost of white
washing the wall, if the rate of white washing the wall is ₹ 20 per m 2.
Solution:
Length of the wall = 4.5 m
Breadth of the wall = 3.6 m
Area of the wall = Length × Breadth
= 4.5 m × 3.6 m
= 16.2 m2
Length of the door = 2 m
Breadth of the door = 1 m
So, area of the door = Length × Breadth
=2m×1m
= 2 m2
Area of the wall for whitewash = Area of the wall - Area of door
= 16.2 m2 - 2 m2
= 14.2 m2
The rate of whitewashing the wall = Rs. 20 per m2
The cost of whitewashing 14.2 m2 = 14.2 × Rs. 20 = Rs. 284

=22/7)
(a) 14 cm (b) 28 mm (c) 21 cm
Solution:
(a) Circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 × 22/7 × 14 cm
= 2 × 22 × 2 cm
= 88 cm
(b) Circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 × 22/7 × 28 mm
= 2 × 22 × 4 mm
= 176 mm
(c) Circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 × 22/7 × 21 cm
= 2 × 22 × 3 cm
= 132 cm
Find the area of the following circles, given that:
(a) radius = 14 mm (Take π = 22/7) (b) diameter = 49 m
(c) radius = 5 cm
Solution:
(a) Radius of the circle = 14 mm
Area of circle = πr2
= 22/7 × 14 mm × 14 mm
= 22 × 2 mm × 14 mm
= 616 mm2
(b) Diameter of the circle = 49 m
Therefore, radius = diameter/2 = 24.5 m
Area of circle = πr2
= 22/7 × 24.5 m × 24.5 m
= 22 × 24.5 m × 3.5 m
= 1886.5 m2
(c) Radius of the circle = 5 cm
Area of circle = πr2
= 22/7 × 5 cm × 5 cm
= 550/7 cm2
= 78.57 cm2
If the circumference of a circular sheet is 154 m, find its radius. Also,
find the area of the sheet. (Take π = 22/7)
Solution:
Circumference of the circular sheet = 154 m
2πr = 154 m
2 × 22/7 × r = 154 m
r = 49/2 m = 24.5 m
Now, Area of circular sheet = πr2
= 22/7 × 24.5 m × 24.5 m
= 1886.5 m2
Thus, the radius and area of circular sheet are 24.5 m and 1886.5
m2 respectively.
A gardener wants to fence a circular garden of diameter 21m. Find the
length of the rope he needs to purchase, if he makes 2 rounds of fence.
Also find the cost of the rope, if it costs ₹ 4 per meter. (Take π = 22/7)
Solution:
Diameter of the circular garden = 21 m
Radius of the circular garden = 21/2 m
Circumference of circular garden = 2πr
= 2 × 22/7 × 21/2 m
= 66 m
Since, the gardener wants to make 2 rounds of fence, so the total length of
the rope required for fencing = 2 × 66 m = 132 m
The cost of 1 meter rope = ₹4
Therefore, the cost of 132 meter rope = 4 × 132 = ₹ 528
From a circular sheet of radius 4 cm, a circle of radius 3 cm is removed.
Find the area of the remaining sheet. (Take π = 3.14)
Solution:
Radius of circular sheet (r₁) = 4 cm
Radius of removed circle (r₂) = 3 cm
Area of remaining sheet = Area of circular sheet – Area of removed circle =
πr₁2 - πr₂2
= π (r₁2 - r₂2)
= 3.14 (42 - 32) cm2
= 3.14 (16 - 9) cm2
= 3.14 × 7 cm2
= 21.98 cm2
Thus, the area of the remaining sheet is 21.98 cm2.
Saima wants to put a lace on the edge of a circular table cover of
diameter 1.5 m. Find the length of the lace required and also find its cost
if one meter of the lace costs ₹ 15. (Take π = 3.14)
Solution:
Diameter of the circular table cover = 1.5 m
Radius of the circular table cover = 1.5/2 m = 0.75 m
Circumference of circular table cover = 2πr
= 2 × 3.14 × 0.75 m
= 4.71 m
Therefore, the length of the required lace is 4.71 m.
The cost of 1 m lace is ₹ 15
The cost of 4.71 m lace = ₹ 15 × 4.71
= ₹ 70.65
Find the perimeter of the adjoining figure, which is a semicircle
including its diameter.
Solution:
Diameter = 10 cm
Radius = 10/2 cm = 5 cm
Perimeter of the given figure = Circumference of semi-circle + diameter
= πr + D
= 22/7 × 5 cm + 10 cm
= 110/7 cm + 10 cm
= 25.71 cm
Thus, the perimeter of the given figure is 25.71 cm.
Find the cost of polishing a circular table-top of diameter 1.6 m, if the
rate of polishing is ₹ 15/m2. (Take π = 3.14)
Solution:
Diameter of the circular tabletop = 1.6 m
Radius of the circular tabletop = 1.6 m / 2 = 0.8 m
Area of circular tabletop = πr 2
= 3.14 × 0.8 m × 0.8 m
= 2.0096 m2
Since, the cost of 1m2 polishing = ₹ 15
The cost of polishing 2.0096 m2 = ₹ 15 × 2.0096
= ₹ 30.144
Thus, the cost of polishing a circular tabletop is ₹ 30.144.
Shazli took a wire of length 44 cm and bent it into the shape of a circle.
Find the radius of that circle. Also, find its area. If the same wire is bent
into the shape of a square, what will be the length of each of its sides?
Which figure encloses more area, the circle or the square? (Take π
=22/7)
Solution:
Length of the wire = 44 cm
The circumference of the circle is 44 cm.
C = 2πr
44 cm = 2πr
44 = 2 × 22/7 × r
r = 44 cm × 7/44
r = 7 cm
Area of the circle = πr2
= 22/7 × 7 cm × 7 cm
= 154 cm2
Now, the wire is bent into a square.
Perimeter of square = 44 cm
4 × Side = 44 cm
Side = 44 cm / 4 = 11 cm
Area of square = Side × Side
= 11 cm × 11 cm
= 121 cm2
Thus, the circle encloses more area than square.
From a circular card sheet of radius 14 cm, two circles of radius 3.5 cm
and a rectangle of length 3 cm and breadth 1cm are removed. (as shown
in the adjoining figure). Find the area of the remaining sheet. (Take π =
22/7 )
Solution:
Radius of circular sheet (R) = 14 cm and radius of smaller circle (r) = 3.5 cm
Length of rectangle (l) = 3 cm and breadth of rectangle (b) = 1 cm
Area of the remaining sheet = Area of circular sheet – (Area of two smaller
circle + Area of rectangle)
= πR2 – [2πr 2 + (length × Breadth)]
= 22/7 ×14 cm × 14 cm - [2 × 22/7 × 3.5 cm × 3.5 cm + (3 cm × 1 cm)]
= 22 × 2 cm × 14 cm - [44/7 × 3.5 cm × 3.5 cm + 3 cm]
= 616 cm2 - (77 + 3) cm2
= (616 - 80) cm2
= 536 cm2
Therefore, the area of the remaining sheet is 536 cm2.
A circle of radius 2 cm is cut out from a square piece of an aluminum
sheet of side 6 cm. What is the area of the left over aluminum sheet?
(Take π = 3.14)
Solution:
Side of square piece of aluminum sheet = 6 cm
Radius of circle = 2 cm
Area of aluminium sheet left = Total area of square aluminium sheet – Area
of circle
= Side × Side - πr2
= 6 cm × 6 cm - 3.14 × 2 cm × 2 cm
= 36 cm2 - 12.56 cm2
= 23.44 cm2
Therefore, the area of the aluminum sheet left is 23.44 cm2.
The circumference of a circle is 31.4 cm. Find the radius and the area of
the circle. (Take π = 3.14)
Solution:
Circumference of the circle = 31.4 cm
2πr = 31.4 cm
2 × 3.14 × r = 31.4 cm
r = 31.4 cm /6.28
r = 5 cm
Area of the circle = πr2
= 3.14 × 5 cm × 5 cm
= 78.5 cm2
Therefore, the radius and the area of the circle are 5 cm and 78.5
cm2 respectively.
A circular flower bed is surrounded by a path 4 m wide. The diameter of
the flower bed is 66 m. What is the area of this path? (π = 3.14)
Solution:
Diameter of the circular flower bed = 66 m
Radius of circular flower bed (r) = 66/2 m = 33 m
Radius of circular flower bed with 4 m wide path (R) = 33 m + 4 m = 37 m
Area of path = Area of bigger circle – Area of smaller circle
= πR2 - πr2
= π(R2 - r2 )
= 3.14 (37 m2 - 33 m2)
= 3.14 × (37 + 33) (37 – 33)
= 3.14 × 70 m × 4 m
= 879.20 m2
A circular flower garden has an area of 314 m2. A sprinkler at the center
of the garden can cover an area that has a radius of 12 m. Will the
sprinkler can water the entire garden? [Take π = 3.14]
Solution:
Area of the circular flower garden = 314 m2
Radius of the circular portion covered by the sprinkler = 12 m
Area covered by the sprinkler = πr2
= 3.14 × 12 m × 12 m
= 452.16 m2
The area covered by the sprinkler is greater than the area of the entire
garden.
So, we can say that. "Yes, the sprinkler will water the entire garden."
Find the circumference of the inner and the outer circles, shown in the
adjoining figure. (Take π = 3.14)
Solution:
Radius of the outer circle (r₁) = 19 m
Circumference of outer circle = 2πr₁
= 2 × 3.14 × 19 m
= 119.32 m
Radius of inner circle (r₂) = 19 m – 10 m = 9 m
Circumference of outer circle = 2πr₂
= 2 × 3.14 × 9 m
= 56.52 m
How many times a wheel of radius 28 cm must rotate to go 352 m? (Take

= 2 × 22/7 × 28 cm
= 2 × 22 × 4 cm
= 176 cm
Total distance = 352 m = 35200 cm
Number of times the wheel should rotate = Total distance covered by wheel
/ Circumference of the wheel
= 35200/176
= 200
