1Exercise 23(A)

The length and the breadth of a rectangular plot are 135 m and 65 m. Find, its perimeter and the cost of fencing it at the rate of ₹ 60 per m.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the plot ($l$) = 135 m

Breadth of the plot ($b$) = 65 m

By formula,

The perimeter of a rectangle = $2(l + b)$

= 2(135 + 65) m

= 2 x 200 m

= 400 m

Cost of fencing the plot = Perimeter x rate of fencing

= 400 x ₹ 60

= ₹ 24,000

Hence, the perimeter of the plot is 400 m and the cost of fencing it is ₹ 24,000.

2Exercise 23(A)

The length and breadth of a rectangular field are in the ratio 7 : 4. If its perimeter is 440 m, find its length and breadth. Also, find the cost of fencing it at ₹ 150 per m.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Ratio of length and breadth of the field = 7 : 4

Perimeter of the field = 440 m

Let the length = $7x$ m and breadth = $4x$ m

By formula,

Perimeter = $2(l + b)$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2(7x + 4x) = 440 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2 \times 11x = 440 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 22x = 440 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \frac{440}{22} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 20\end{aligned}$$

∴ Length = $7x$ = 7 x 20 m = 140 m

And, breadth = $4x$ = 4 x 20 m = 80 m

Cost of fencing the field = Perimeter x rate of fencing

= 440 x ₹ 150

= ₹ 66,000

Hence, the length and breadth of the field are 140 m and 80 m respectively and the cost of fencing it is ₹ 66,000.

3Exercise 23(A)

The length of a rectangular field is 30 m and its diagonal is 34 m. Find the breadth of the field and its perimeter.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the field ($l$) = 30 m

Diagonal of the field = 34 m

Let the breadth of the field be $b$ m.

The length of a rectangular field is 30 m and its diagonal is 34 m. Find the breadth of the field and its perimeter. Mensuration, Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

Applying Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC, we get :

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow (34)^2 = (30)^2 + b^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1156 = 900 + b^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow b^2 = 1156 - 900 \\[1em] \Rightarrow b^2 = 256 \\[1em] \Rightarrow b = \sqrt{256} \text{ m} \\[1em] \Rightarrow b = 16 \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

Now, perimeter of the field = $2(l + b)$

= 2(30 + 16) m

= 2 x 46 m

= 92 m

Hence, the breadth of the field is 16 m and its perimeter is 92 m.

4Exercise 23(A)

The diagonal of a square is $12\sqrt{2}$ cm. Find its perimeter.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Diagonal of the square = $12\sqrt{2}$ cm

By formula,

Diagonal of a square = its side x $\sqrt{2}$

⇒ side x $\sqrt{2} = 12\sqrt{2}$

⇒ side = 12 cm

Now, perimeter of the square = 4 x side

= 4 x 12 cm

= 48 cm

Hence, the perimeter of the square is 48 cm.

5Exercise 23(A)

Find the perimeter of a rectangle whose length = 22.5 m and breadth = 16 dm.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the rectangle ($l$) = 22.5 m

Breadth of the rectangle ($b$) = 16 dm

Since,

1 m = 10 dm

⇒ $b = \frac{16}{10}$ m = 1.6 m

Now, perimeter of the rectangle = $2(l + b)$

= 2(22.5 + 1.6) m

= 2 x 24.1 m

= 48.2 m

Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle is 48.2 m.

6Exercise 23(A)

Find the perimeter of a rectangle with length = 24 cm and diagonal = 25 cm.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the rectangle ($l$) = 24 cm

Diagonal of the rectangle = 25 cm

Let the breadth of the rectangle be $b$ cm.

Find the perimeter of a rectangle with length = 24 cm and diagonal = 25 cm. Mensuration, Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

Applying Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC, we get :

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow (25)^2 = (24)^2 + b^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 625 = 576 + b^2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow b^2 = 625 - 576 \\[1em] \Rightarrow b^2 = 49 \\[1em] \Rightarrow b = \sqrt{49} \text{ cm} \\[1em] \Rightarrow b = 7 \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

Now, perimeter of the rectangle = $2(l + b)$

= 2(24 + 7) cm

= 2 x 31 cm

= 62 cm

Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle is 62 cm.

7Exercise 23(A)

The length and breadth of a rectangular piece of land are in the ratio of 5 : 3. If the total cost of fencing it at the rate of ₹ 48 per metre is ₹ 19,200, find its length and breadth.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Ratio of length and breadth of the land = 5 : 3

Total cost of fencing = ₹ 19,200

Rate of fencing = ₹ 48 per metre

Length of the fence x its rate = ₹ 19,200

⇒ Length of the fence = $\frac{19200}{48}$ m = 400 m

∴ Perimeter of the land = length of its fence = 400 m

Let the length = $5x$ m and breadth = $3x$ m

By formula,

$2(l + b)$ = perimeter

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2(5x + 3x) = 400 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2 \times 8x = 400 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 16x = 400 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \frac{400}{16} = 25\end{aligned}$$

∴ Length = $5x$ = 5 x 25 m = 125 m

And, breadth = $3x$ = 3 x 25 m = 75 m

Hence, the length and breadth of the land are 125 m and 75 m respectively.

8Exercise 23(A)

A wire is in the shape of a square of side 20 cm. If the wire is bent into a rectangle of length 24 cm, find its breadth.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Side of the square = 20 cm

Length of the rectangle ($l$) = 24 cm

Length of the wire = perimeter of the square

= 4 x side

= 4 x 20 cm

= 80 cm

Since the same wire is bent into a rectangle,

Perimeter of the rectangle (P) = length of the wire = 80 cm

By formula,

Breadth ($b$) = $\frac{P}{2} - l$

= $\frac{80}{2}$ cm - 24 cm

= 40 cm - 24 cm

= 16 cm

Hence, the breadth of the rectangle is 16 cm.

9Exercise 23(A)

If P = perimeter of a rectangle, $l$ = its length and $b$ = its breadth; find :

(i) P, if $l$ = 38 cm and $b$ = 27 cm

(ii) $b$, if P = 88 cm and $l$ = 24 cm

(iii) $l$, if P = 96 m and $b$ = 28 m

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given:

$l$ = 38 cm and $b$ = 27 cm

By formula,

P = $2(l + b)$

= 2(38 cm + 27 cm)

= 2 x 65 cm

= 130 cm

Hence, P = 130 cm.

(ii) Given:

P = 88 cm and $l$ = 24 cm

By formula,

$b = \frac{P}{2} - l$

= $\frac{88}{2}$ cm - 24 cm

= 44 cm - 24 cm

= 20 cm

Hence, $\bm{b}$ = 20 cm.

(iii) Given:

P = 96 m and $b$ = 28 m

By formula,

$l = \frac{P}{2} - b$

= $\frac{96}{2}$ m - 28 m

= 48 m - 28 m

= 20 m

Hence, $\bm{l}$ = 20 m.

10Exercise 23(A)

The cost of fencing a square field at the rate of ₹ 75 per meter is ₹ 67,500. Find the perimeter and the side of the square field.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Rate of fencing = ₹ 75 per meter

Cost of fencing the square field = ₹ 67,500

∴ Length of the fence x its rate = ₹ 67,500

⇒ Length of the fence = $\frac{67500}{75}$ m = 900 m

∴ Perimeter of the square field = length of its fence = 900 m

Since, perimeter of a square = 4 x length of its side

⇒ Length of the side of the square = $\frac{\text{Perimeter}}{4}$

= $\frac{900}{4}$ m

= 225 m

Hence, the perimeter of the square field is 900 m and its side is 225 m.

11Exercise 23(A)

The length and the breadth of a rectangle are 36 cm and 28 cm. If its perimeter is equal to the perimeter of a square, find the side of the square.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the rectangle = 36 cm

Breadth of the rectangle = 28 cm

By formula,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

= 2(36 + 28) cm

= 2 x 64 cm

= 128 cm

Given, perimeter of the square = perimeter of the rectangle = 128 cm

∴ Side of the square = $\frac{\text{Perimeter}}{4}$

= $\frac{128}{4}$ cm

= 32 cm

Hence, the side of the square is 32 cm.

12Exercise 23(A)

The radius of a circle is 21 cm. Find its circumference (Take π = $3\frac{1}{7}$).

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Radius ($r$) = 21 cm and π = $3\frac{1}{7} = \frac{22}{7}$

By formula,

Circumference of the circle = $2\pi r$

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 21 cm

= 2 x 22 x 3 cm

= 132 cm

Hence, the circumference of the circle is 132 cm.

13Exercise 23(A)

The circumference of a circle is 440 cm. Find its radius and diameter. (Take π = $\frac{22}{7}$)

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Circumference of the circle = 440 cm

Let the radius of the circle be $r$ cm.

By formula,

Circumference of a circle = $2\pi r$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 440\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{44}{7} \times r = 440\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 440 \times \frac{7}{44}\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 70 \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

And, diameter = 2 x radius

= 2 x 70 cm

= 140 cm

Hence, the radius and diameter of the circle are 70 cm and 140 cm respectively.

14Exercise 23(A)

The diameter of a circular field is 56 m. Find its circumference and cost of fencing it at the rate of ₹ 80 per m. (Take π = $\frac{22}{7}$).

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Diameter of the circular field = 56 m

∴ Radius of the field ($r$) = $\frac{56}{2}$ m = 28 m [Diameter = 2 x radius]

By formula,

Circumference of the field = $2\pi r$

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 28 m

= 2 x 22 x 4 m

= 176 m

Cost of fencing the field = Circumference x rate of fencing

= 176 x ₹ 80

= ₹ 14,080

Hence, the circumference of the field is 176 m and the cost of fencing it is ₹ 14,080.

15Exercise 23(A)

Radii of the two circles are 20 cm and 13 cm.

By formula,

Circumference of the circle with radius 20 cm = $2\pi r$

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 20 cm

= $\frac{880}{7}$ cm

Circumference of the circle with radius 13 cm = $2\pi r$

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 13 cm

= $\frac{572}{7}$ cm

∴ Difference between their circumferences

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{880}{7} \text{ cm} - \frac{572}{7} \text{ cm}\\[1em] = \frac{308}{7} \text{ cm}\\[1em] = 44 \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the difference between their circumferences is 44 cm.

16Exercise 23(A)

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Diameter of the circle = 42 cm

∴ Radius of the circle ($r$) = $\frac{42}{2}$ cm = 21 cm

By formula,

Perimeter (circumference) of the circle = $2\pi r$

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 21 cm

= 2 x 22 x 3 cm

= 132 cm

Perimeter of the new circle = 2 x 132 cm = 264 cm

Let the radius of the new circle be $R$ cm.

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore 2\pi R = 264\\[1em] \Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times R = 264\\[1em] \Rightarrow R = 264 \times \frac{7}{44}\\[1em] \Rightarrow R = 42 \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the perimeter of the circle is 132 cm and the radius of the new circle is 42 cm.

Hence, the circumference of the circle is 88 cm.

(iii) Let the radius of the circle be $r$ cm.

$$\begin{aligned}\therefore 2\pi r = 88\\[1em] \Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 88\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 88 \times \frac{7}{44}\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 14 \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the radius of the circle is 14 cm.

18Exercise 23(A)

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Radii of the two circles are 15 cm and 8 cm.

Let the required radius be $R$ cm.

By formula,

Circumference of a circle = $2\pi r$

Circumference of the circle with radius $R$ cm = Sum of the circumferences of the circles with radii 15 cm and 8 cm

⇒ $2\pi R = 2\pi \times 15 + 2\pi \times 8$

Dividing each term by 2π, we get :

$R$ = 15 + 8 = 23 cm

Hence, the required radius is 23 cm.

19Exercise 23(A)

Find the diameter of a circle whose circumference is equal to the sum of circumferences of circles with radii 10 cm, 12 cm and 18 cm.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Radii of the three circles are 10 cm, 12 cm and 18 cm.

Let the radius of the circle = $R$ cm

By formula,

Circumference of a circle = $2\pi r$

Circumference of the required circle = Sum of the circumferences of the circles with radii 10 cm, 12 cm and 18 cm

∴ $2\pi R = 2\pi \times 10 + 2\pi \times 12 + 2\pi \times 18$

On dividing each term by 2π, we get :

$R$ = 10 + 12 + 18 = 40 cm

∴ Radius of the circle obtained = 40 cm

And, its diameter = 2 x radius

= 2 x 40 cm

= 80 cm

Hence, the diameter of the circle is 80 cm.

By formula,

Circumference of a circle = $2\pi r$

Circumference of the required circle = 8 x circumference of the given circle

⇒ $2\pi R = 8 \times 2\pi \times 12$

Dividing both sides by 2π, we get :

$R$ = 8 x 12 = 96 cm

∴ Radius of the required circle = 96 cm

And, its diameter = 2 x radius

= 2 x 96 cm

= 192 cm

Hence, the diameter of the circle is 192 cm.

The diagonal of a rectangular board is 1 m and its length is 96 cm. Find the area of the board. Mensuration, Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

In right-angled triangle ABC,

AB2 + BC2 = AC2

⇒ (96)2 + BC2 = (100)2

⇒ 9216 + BC2 = 10000

⇒ BC2 = 10000 - 9216 = 784

The sides of a rectangular park are in the ratio 4 : 3. If its area is 1728 m2, find :

(i) its perimeter

(ii) cost of fencing it at the rate of ₹ 40 per metre.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Ratio of the sides of the park = 4 : 3

Area of the park = 1728 m2

Let length = $4x$ m and breadth = $3x$ m

By formula,

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 4x \times 3x = 1728 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 12x^2 = 1728 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 = \frac{1728}{12} = 144 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \sqrt{144} = 12\end{aligned}$$

∴ Length = $4x$ = 4 x 12 m = 48 m

And, breadth = $3x$ = 3 x 12 m = 36 m

(i) Perimeter of the park = 2(length + breadth)

= 2(48 + 36) m

= 2 x 84 m

= 168 m

Hence, the perimeter of the park is 168 m.

Hence, the cost of fencing the park is ₹ 6,720.

4Exercise 23(B)

A floor is 40 m long and 15 m broad. It is covered with tiles, each measuring 60 cm by 50 cm. Find the number of tiles required to cover the floor.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the floor = 40 m = 40 x 100 cm = 4000 cm

Breadth of the floor = 15 m = 15 x 100 cm = 1500 cm

By formula,

Area of the floor = length x breadth

= 4000 cm x 1500 cm

= 60,00,000 cm2

Area of one tile = length x breadth

= 60 cm x 50 cm

= 3000 cm2

∴ Number of tiles required = $\frac{\text{Area of the floor}}{\text{Area of one tile}}$

= $\frac{6000000}{3000}$

= 2000

Hence, 2000 tiles are required to cover the floor.

5Exercise 23(B)

The length and breadth of a rectangular piece of land are in the ratio 5 : 3. If the total cost of fencing it at the rate of ₹ 24 per metre is ₹ 9600, find its :

(i) length and breadth

(ii) area

(iii) cost of levelling at the rate of ₹ 60 per m2.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Ratio of length and breadth of the land = 5 : 3

Total cost of fencing = ₹ 9600

Rate of fencing = ₹ 24 per metre

(i) Length of the fence = $\frac{\text{Cost of fencing}}{\text{Rate of fencing}}$

= $\frac{9600}{24}$ m

= 400 m

∴ Perimeter of the land = 400 m

Let length = $5x$ m and breadth = $3x$ m

By formula,

2(length + breadth) = perimeter

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2 \times (5x + 3x) = 400 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2 \times 8x = 400 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \frac{400}{16} = 25\end{aligned}$$

∴ Length = $5x$ = 5 x 25 m = 125 m

And, breadth = $3x$ = 3 x 25 m = 75 m

Hence, the length and breadth of the land are 125 m and 75 m respectively.

(ii) Area of the land = length x breadth

= 125 m x 75 m

= 9375 m2

Hence, the area of the land is 9375 m2.

(iii) Cost of levelling the land = Area of the land x rate of levelling

= 9375 x ₹ 60

= ₹ 5,62,500

Hence, the cost of levelling the land is ₹ 5,62,500.

Area of the path = 165 m2

Let each side of the square lawn be $x$ m.

A square lawn is surrounded by a path 2.5 m wide. If the area of the path is 165 m 2, find the area of the lawn. Mensuration, Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

∴ Side of the outer square (lawn with path) = $(x + 2 \times 2.5)$ m = $(x + 5)$ m

Area of the path = Area of outer square - area of the lawn

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow (x + 5)^2 - x^2 = 165 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x^2 + 10x + 25 - x^2 = 165 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 10x + 25 = 165 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 10x = 165 - 25 = 140 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \frac{140}{10} = 14 \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

∴ Side of the lawn = 14 m

Area of the lawn = (side)2

= (14 m)2

= 196 m2

Hence, the area of the lawn is 196 m2.

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x $\frac{63}{2}$ cm

= 22 x 9 cm

= 198 cm

In 2000 revolutions, car will move = $2\pi r \times n$

= 198 x 2000 cm

= 3,96,000 cm

Since,

1 km = 1000 m = 1000 x 100 cm = 1,00,000 cm

∴ Distance moved by the car = $\frac{396000}{100000}$ km = 3.96 km

Hence, the car will move 3.96 km during 2000 revolutions of its wheel.

34Exercise 23(B)

The diameter of the wheel of a car is 70 cm. How many revolutions will it make to travel one kilometre?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Diameter of the wheel = 70 cm

∴ Radius of the wheel ($r$) = $\frac{70}{2}$ cm = 35 cm

In one revolution of the wheel, car moves = circumference of the wheel

= $2\pi r$

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 35 cm

= 220 cm

Distance to be travelled = 1 km = 1,00,000 cm

Let the number of revolutions be $n$.

In $n$ revolutions, car will move = $2\pi r \times n$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 220 \times n = 100000\\[1em] \Rightarrow n = \frac{100000}{220}\\[1em] \Rightarrow n = \frac{5000}{11}\\[1em] \Rightarrow n = 454\frac{6}{11}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the wheel will make $454\frac{6}{11}$ revolutions to travel one kilometre.

35Exercise 23(B)

A metal wire, when bent in the form of a square of the largest area, encloses an area of 484 cm2. Find the length of the wire.

If the same wire is bent in the form of the largest possible circle, find :

(i) radius of the circle formed.

(ii) area of the circle.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Area of the square = 484 cm2

By formula,

Area of a square = (side)2

⇒ (side)2 = 484

⇒ side = $\sqrt{484}$ cm = 22 cm

Length of the wire = perimeter of the square

= 4 x side

= 4 x 22 cm

= 88 cm

Hence, the length of the wire is 88 cm.

(i) When a wire is bent to form the largest circle of radius $r$,

The length of the wire = circumference of the circle formed = $2\pi r$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 88\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 88 \times \frac{7}{44}\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 14 \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the radius of the circle formed is 14 cm.

(ii) Area of the circle = $\pi r^2$

= $\frac{22}{7}$ x 14 x 14 cm2

= 22 x 2 x 14 cm2

= 616 cm2

Hence, the area of the circle is 616 cm2.

36Exercise 23(B)

A wire is wound along the boundary of a circle with radius 28 cm. If the same wire is bent in the form of a square, find the area of the square formed.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Radius of the circle ($r$) = 28 cm

Length of the wire = circumference of the circle

= $2\pi r$

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 28 cm

= 2 x 22 x 4 cm

= 176 cm

Since the same wire is bent in the form of a square,

Perimeter of the square = 176 cm

⇒ 4 x side = 176

⇒ side = $\frac{176}{4}$ cm = 44 cm

∴ Area of the square = (side)2

= (44 cm)2

= 1936 cm2

Hence, the area of the square formed is 1936 cm2.

37Exercise 23(B)

The length and the breadth of a rectangular paper are 35 cm and 22 cm. Find the area of the largest circle which can be cut out of this paper.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the rectangular paper = 35 cm

Breadth of the rectangular paper = 22 cm

The diameter of the largest circle which can be cut out of this paper is equal to the breadth of the paper.

∴ Diameter of the circle = 22 cm

⇒ Radius of the circle ($r$) = $\frac{22}{2}$ cm = 11 cm

Area of the circle = $\pi r^2$

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{22}{7} \times 11 \times 11 \text{ cm}^2\\[1em] = \frac{2662}{7} \text{ cm}^2\\[1em] = 380\frac{2}{7} \text{ cm}^2 = 380.29 \text{ cm}^2\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the area of the largest circle is $380\frac{2}{7}$ cm2 = 380.29 cm2.

From each corner of a rectangular paper (30 cm × 20 cm) a quadrant of a circle of radius 7 cm is cut. Find the area of the remaining paper i.e., the shaded portion. Mensuration, Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.
Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the rectangular paper = 30 cm

Breadth of the rectangular paper = 20 cm

Radius of each quadrant ($r$) = 7 cm

Area of the rectangular paper = length x breadth

= 30 cm x 20 cm

= 600 cm2

Since a quadrant is one-fourth of a circle, four quadrants of the same radius together make one complete circle.

∴ Area of 4 quadrants = area of a circle of radius 7 cm

= $\pi r^2$

= $\frac{22}{7}$ x 7 x 7 cm2

= 154 cm2

∴ Area of the remaining paper = Area of the rectangular paper - area of 4 quadrants

= 600 cm2 - 154 cm2

= 446 cm2

Hence, the area of the remaining paper is 446 cm2.
