1. (a) Arbaz plans to tile his kitchen floor with green square tiles.
Each side of the tile is 10 cm. His kitchen is 220 cm in length and 180
cm wide. How many tiles will he need?
Ans. (a) We know that,
Area of a rectangle = Length Breadth

Area of the floor of kitchen = (Length Breadth)

= (220 180) square cm.

Also, we know that

Area of a square = Side Side

Area of one tile = (10 10) square cm

Number of tiles required

= 22 18 = 396

(b) The fencing of a square garden is 20 m in length. How long is one

side of the garden?
Ans. (b) We have, Perimeter = 20 m

Side = Perimeter

Side = = 5m

(c) A thin wire 20 centimetres long is formed into a rectangle. If the

width of this rectangle is 4 centimetres, what is its length?
Ans. (c) We have, Perimeter = 20 cm and Breadth = 4cm

Length = Perimeter – Breadth

Length = 20 cm – 4cm = 6 cm

= 10 cm – 4 cm = 6 cm

(d) A square carom board has a perimeter of 320 cm. How much is its
area?
Ans. (d) We have, Perimeter = 320 cm
Side = Perimeter

Side = 320 cm = 80 cm

Area = Side Side

= (80 80) square cm = 6400 square cm

(e) How many tiles like the triangle given here will fit in the white
design?
Area of design = …………………. Square cm
Ans. (e) Area of the design = 1 full square + 4 half square
= (1 + 2) full square

Whose card Length Width Perimeter Area

Sanya 10 cm 8 cm

Manav 11 cm 44 cm

Aarushi 8 cm 80 square cm
Kabir 40 cm 100 square cm

Ans. (f)
In case of Sanya:
We have Length = 10 cm, Width = 8 cm

Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)

= 2 (10+8) cm

=2 18 cm = 36 cm

Area = Length Width

= 10 8 square cm

NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Maths Area and its Boundary

In Case of Manav:
We have, Length = 11 cm, Perimeter = 44 cm

2 (Length + Width) = 44 cm

Length + Width = 22 cm

11 cm + Width = 22 cm

Width = 22 cm- 11 cm = 11 cm

And, Area = Length Width

= 11 11 square cm

= 121 square cm

In Case of Aarushi:
We have, Width =8 cm

Area = 80 square cm

Length Width = 80 square cm

Length 8 cm = 80 square cm

Length = cm = 10 cm
And, Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

= 2(10 +8) cm

=2 18 cm = 36 cm

In Case of Kabir:
We have, Perimeter = 40 cm

Area = 100 square cm

2 (Length+ Width) = 40 cm

And, Length +Width = Length and Width

i.e. Length +Width = 20

Width = 20 – Length ……..(1)

Length Width = 100

Length (20 – length)

20 (length) – (length) = 100

Length – 20 Length +100 = 0

(Length – 10) = 0 Length-10 = 0

Length = 10

Width = 20 – Length = 20 -10 = 10

i.e. Length = 10 cm and Width = 10 cm

Therefore, the complete table is as under:

Whose card Length Width Perimeter Area

Sanya 10 cm 8 cm 36 cm 80 square cm

Manav 11 cm 11 cm 44 cm 121 square cm

Aarushi 10 cm 8 cm 36 cm 80 square cm
Kabir 10 cm 10 cm 40 cm 100 square cm

It’s perimeter = 2(126+1) cm = 2 127 cm = 254 cm

(d) What is its Perimeter?

Ans. (d) Strips having length cm:

There will be 6 strips of width cm and length 14 cm. Let us join these strips
end to end using tape to make a belt.

It’s length = (14+14+14+14+14+14) cm

=6 14 cm = 84 cm

It’s perimeter = 2 (84 + 1.5) cm = 2 85 – 5 cm = 171 cm

(e) Whose belt is the longest in the class?

Ans. (e) Strips having width 3 cm:
There will be 3 strips of width 3 cm and length 14 cm.

Let us join these strips end to end using tape to make a belt.

of the boundary of each. How much gold wire will he get for these
rectangles?
Ans. (a) Boundary of a rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)
Boundary for A = 2(40+20) m = 2 60 m = 120 m

Gold Wire for A = 120 metres

Boundary for B = 2(80+10) m = 2 90 m = 180 m

Gold Wire for B = 180 metres

Boundary for C = 2(800+1) m = 2 801 m = 1602 m

Gold Wire for C = 1602 metres

Boundary for D = 2(8000+0.1) m = 2 8000.1 m = 16000.2 m

So he will get 16000.2 metres of gold wire.
