ABCD is a square of side 24 cm. EF is parallel to BC and AE = 15 cm. By how much does

ABCD is a square of side 24 cm. EF is parallel to BC and AE = 15 cm. By how much does. Perimeter and Area, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

(i) the perimeter of AEFD exceed the perimeter of EBCF?

(ii) the area of AEFD exceed the area of EBCF?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Side of the square ABCD = 24 cm

AE = 15 cm

∴ EB = AB - AE = 24 cm - 15 cm = 9 cm

Since EF is parallel to BC, AEFD and EBCF are rectangles with EF = AD = BC = 24 cm.

(i) As we know,

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth)

Perimeter of rectangle AEFD = 2 (AE + EF)

= 2 (15 + 24) cm

= 2 x 39 cm

= 78 cm

Perimeter of rectangle EBCF = 2 (EB + BC)

= 2 (9 + 24) cm

= 2 x 33 cm

= 66 cm

∴ Perimeter of AEFD - perimeter of EBCF = 78 cm - 66 cm = 12 cm

Hence, the perimeter of AEFD exceeds the perimeter of EBCF by 12 cm.

(ii) As we know,

Area of rectangle = length x breadth

Area of rectangle AEFD = AE x EF

= 15 cm x 24 cm

= 360 cm2

Area of rectangle EBCF = EB x BC

= 9 cm x 24 cm

= 216 cm2

∴ Area of AEFD - area of EBCF = 360 cm2 - 216 cm2 = 144 cm2

Hence, the area of AEFD exceeds the area of EBCF by 144 cm2.

2Exercise 16.1

Nagma runs around a rectangular park 180 m long and 120 m wide at the rate of 7.5 km/hour. In how much time will she complete five rounds?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Length of the park = 180 m

Breadth of the park = 120 m

Speed of Nagma = 7.5 km/hour

Distance covered by Nagma in one round of the park = perimeter of the park

= 2 (length + breadth)

= 2 (180 m + 120 m)

= 2 x 300 m

= 600 m

∴ Distance covered in five rounds = 5 x 600 m = 3000 m

Speed of running = 7.5 km/hour = 7.5 x 1000 m/hour = 7500 m/hour

∴ Time taken by Nagma in covering 3000 m = $\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}}$

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{3000 \text{ m}}{7500 \text{ m/hour}}\\[1em] = \frac{2}{5} \text{ hours}\\[1em] = \Big(\frac{2}{5} \times 60\Big) \text{ minutes}\\[1em] = 24 \text{ minutes}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, Nagma will complete five rounds in 24 minutes.

3Exercise 16.1

The area of a rectangular plot is 540 m2. If its length is 27 m, find its breadth and perimeter.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Area of the plot = 540 m2

Length of the plot ($l$) = 27 m

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

As we know,

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth

⇒ 27 x $b$ = 540

⇒ $b = \frac{540}{27}$ = 20

∴ Breadth of the plot = 20 m

Perimeter of the plot = $2(l + b)$

= 2 (27 + 20) m

= 2 x 47 m

= 94 m

Hence, the breadth of the plot is 20 m and its perimeter is 94 m.

4Exercise 16.1

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 151 m. If its breadth is 32 m, find its length and area.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Perimeter of the field = 151 m

Breadth of the field ($b$) = 32 m

Let the length of the field be $l$ m.

As we know,

Perimeter of a rectangle = $2(l + b)$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2(l + 32) = 151\\[1em] \Rightarrow l + 32 = \frac{151}{2} = 75.5\\[1em] \Rightarrow l = 75.5 - 32 = 43.5\end{aligned}$$

∴ Length of the field = 43.5 m

Area of the field = length x breadth

= 43.5 m x 32 m

= 1392 m2

Hence, the length of the field is 43.5 m and its area is 1392 m2.

5Exercise 16.1

The area of a rectangular plot is 340 m2 and its breadth is 17 m. Find the cost of surrounding the plot with a fence at ₹350 per metre.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Area of the plot = 340 m2

Breadth of the plot ($b$) = 17 m

Rate of fencing = ₹ 350 per metre

Let the length of the plot be $l$ m.

As we know,

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth

⇒ $l$ x 17 = 340

⇒ $l = \frac{340}{17}$ = 20

∴ Length of the plot = 20 m

Perimeter of the plot = $2(l + b)$

= 2 (20 + 17) m

= 2 x 37 m

= 74 m

Cost of fencing the plot = Perimeter x rate of fencing

= 74 x ₹ 350

= ₹ 25,900

Hence, the cost of surrounding the plot with a fence is ₹ 25,900.

6Exercise 16.1

The area of a square park is the same as that 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.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Side of the square park = 60 m

Length of the rectangular park = 90 m

Area of the square park = (side)2

= 60 m x 60 m

= 3600 m2

As the area of the rectangular park = area of the square park

⇒ area of the rectangular park = 3600 m2

Let the breadth of the rectangular park be $b$ m.

Area of the rectangular park = length x breadth

⇒ 90 x $b$ = 3600

⇒ $b = \frac{3600}{90}$ = 40

Hence, the breadth of the rectangular park is 40 m.

7Exercise 16.1

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 and by how much?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Length of the rectangle = 40 cm

Breadth of the rectangle = 22 cm

Length of the wire = perimeter of the rectangle

= 2 (length + breadth)

= 2 (40 + 22) cm

= 2 x 62 cm

= 124 cm

As the wire is rebent into the shape of a square,

perimeter of the square = length of the wire = 124 cm

As we know,

Perimeter of a square = 4 x side

⇒ 4 x side = 124

⇒ side = $\frac{124}{4}$ cm = 31 cm

Area of the rectangle = length x breadth = 40 cm x 22 cm = 880 cm2

Area of the square = (side)2 = 31 cm x 31 cm = 961 cm2

∴ Area of the square - area of the rectangle = 961 cm2 - 880 cm2 = 81 cm2

Hence, each side of the square is 31 cm and the square encloses more area by 81 cm2.

8Exercise 16.1

A door of breadth 1 m and height 2 m is fitted in a wall. The length of the wall is 4.5 m and the height is 3.6 m. Find the cost of white washing the wall, if the rate of white washing the wall is ₹400 per m2.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Length of the wall = 4.5 m

Height of the wall = 3.6 m

Breadth of the door = 1 m

Height of the door = 2 m

Area of the wall (including the door) = length x height = 4.5 m x 3.6 m = 16.2 m2

Area of the door = breadth x height = 1 m x 2 m = 2 m2

∴ Area of the wall to be white washed = 16.2 m2 - 2 m2 = 14.2 m2

Cost of white washing the wall = Area x rate of white washing

= 14.2 x ₹ 400

= ₹ 5,680

Hence, the cost of white washing the wall is ₹ 5,680.

9Exercise 16.1

A rectangular park is 45 m long and 30 m wide. A path 2.5 m wide is constructed outside the park. Find the area of the path.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Length of the park = 45 m

Breadth of the park = 30 m

Width of the path = 2.5 m

A rectangular park is 45 m long and 30 m wide. A path 2.5 m wide is constructed outside the park. Find the area of the path. Perimeter and Area, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

In the adjoining figure, the shaded portion shows the path.

Area of the park = length x breadth = 45 m x 30 m = 1350 m2

Length of the outer rectangle = 45 m + 2.5 m + 2.5 m = 50 m

Breadth of the outer rectangle = 30 m + 2.5 m + 2.5 m = 35 m

∴ Total area of the park and the path = length x breadth of the outer rectangle = 50 m x 35 m = 1750 m2

∴ Area of the path = total area of the park and the path - area of the park = 1750 m2 - 1350 m2 = 400 m2

Hence, the area of the path is 400 m2.

10Exercise 16.1

A carpet of size 5 m × 2 m has 25 cm wide red border. The inner part of the carpet is blue in colour. Find the area of blue portion. What is the ratio of the areas of red portion to blue portion?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Length of the carpet = 5 m

Breadth of the carpet = 2 m

Width of the red border = 25 cm = $\frac{25}{100}$ m = 0.25 m

A carpet of size 5 m × 2 m has 25 cm wide red border. The inner part of the carpet is blue in colour. Find the area of blue portion. What is the ratio of the areas of red portion to blue portion? Perimeter and Area, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

Area of the carpet = length x breadth = 5 m x 2 m = 10 m2

Length of the blue (inner) portion = 5 m - 0.25 m - 0.25 m = 4.5 m

Breadth of the blue (inner) portion = 2 m - 0.25 m - 0.25 m = 1.5 m

∴ Area of the blue portion = length x breadth = 4.5 m x 1.5 m = 6.75 m2

Area of the red portion = Area of the carpet - area of the blue portion

= 10 m2 - 6.75 m2

= 3.25 m2

∴ Ratio of the areas of red portion to blue portion = 3.25 : 6.75

= 325 : 675

= 13 : 27

Hence, the area of the blue portion is 6.75 m2 and the ratio of the areas of red portion to blue portion is 13 : 27.

11Exercise 16.1

A verandah of width 2.25 m is constructed all along outside a room which is 5.5 m long and 4 m wide. Find:

(i) the area of the verandah.

(ii) the cost of cementing the floor of the verandah at the rate of ₹200 per m2.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Length of the room = 5.5 m

Breadth of the room = 4 m

Width of the verandah = 2.25 m

A verandah of width 2.25 m is constructed all along outside a room which is 5.5 m long and 4 m wide. Find:. Perimeter and Area, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

(i) In the adjoining figure, the shaded portion shows the verandah.

Area of the room = length x breadth = 5.5 m x 4 m = 22 m2

Length of the outer rectangle = 5.5 m + 2.25 m + 2.25 m = 10 m

Breadth of the outer rectangle = 4 m + 2.25 m + 2.25 m = 8.5 m

∴ Total area of the room and the verandah = length x breadth of the outer rectangle = 10 m x 8.5 m = 85 m2

∴ Area of the verandah = total area of the room and the verandah - area of the room = 85 m2 - 22 m2 = 63 m2

Hence, the area of the verandah is 63 m2.

(ii) Cost of cementing the floor of the verandah = Area x rate of cementing

= 63 x ₹ 200

= ₹ 12,600

Hence, the cost of cementing the floor of the verandah is ₹ 12,600.

12Exercise 16.1

Two cross roads, each of width 5 m, run at right angles through the centre of a rectangular park of length 70 m and breadth 45 m and parallel to its sides. Find the area of the roads. Also find the cost of constructing the roads at the rate of ₹105 per m2.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Length of the park = 70 m

Breadth of the park = 45 m

Width of each road = 5 m

Two cross roads, each of width 5 m, run at right angles through the centre of a rectangular park of length 70 m and breadth 45 m and parallel to its sides. Find the area of the roads. Also find the cost of constructing the roads at the rate of ₹105 per m 2. Perimeter and Area, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

The area covered by the roads is shown shaded in the adjoining diagram.

Area of the shaded portion parallel to the length = length of the park x width of the road = 70 m x 5 m = 350 m2

Area of the shaded portion parallel to the breadth = breadth of the park x width of the road = 45 m x 5 m = 225 m2

Area of the dark shaded portion (common to both roads) = width of one road x width of the other road = 5 m x 5 m = 25 m2

∴ The area covered by the cross roads = area of shaded portion

= 350 m2 + 225 m2 - 25 m2

= 550 m2

Note that we subtract the area of the dark shaded portion because it has occurred twice – firstly when considering area parallel to length and secondly when considering area parallel to breadth.

Cost of constructing the roads = Area x rate of constructing

= 550 x ₹ 105

= ₹ 57,750

Hence, the area of the roads is 550 m2 and the cost of constructing the roads is ₹ 57,750.

13Exercise 16.1

A rectangular room is 10 m long and 7.5 m wide. Find the cost of covering the floor with carpet 1.25 m wide at ₹250 per metre.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Length of the room = 10 m

Breadth of the room = 7.5 m

Width of the carpet = 1.25 m

Rate of the carpet = ₹ 250 per metre

Area of the floor of the room = length x breadth = 10 m x 7.5 m = 75 m2

Area of the carpet required = area of the floor = 75 m2

∴ Length of the carpet required = $\frac{\text{Area of the carpet}}{\text{Width of the carpet}}$

= $\frac{75}{1.25}$ m

= 60 m

Cost of the carpet = Length of the carpet x rate

= 60 x ₹ 250

= ₹ 15,000

Hence, the cost of covering the floor with carpet is ₹ 15,000.

14Exercise 16.1

Find the cost of flooring a room 6.5 m by 5 m with square tiles of side 25 cm at the rate of ₹94 per tile.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Length of the room = 6.5 m

Breadth of the room = 5 m

Side of each square tile = 25 cm

Rate = ₹ 94 per tile

Area of the floor of the room = length x breadth = 6.5 m x 5 m = 32.5 m2

= 32.5 x 10000 cm2 = 325000 cm2 [1 m2 = 10000 cm2]

Area of one tile = (side)2 = 25 cm x 25 cm = 625 cm2

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

= $\frac{325000}{625}$

= 520

Cost of flooring the room = Number of tiles x rate per tile

= 520 x ₹ 94

= ₹ 48,880

Hence, the cost of flooring the room is ₹ 48,880.

15Exercise 16.1

The floor of a room is in the shape of a square of side 4.8 m. The floor is to be covered with square tiles of perimeter 1.2 m. Find the cost of covering the floor if each tile costs ₹270.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Side of the square floor = 4.8 m = 4.8 x 100 cm = 480 cm

Perimeter of each square tile = 1.2 m = 1.2 x 100 cm = 120 cm

Cost of each tile = ₹ 270

Side of each tile = $\frac{\text{Perimeter}}{4} = \frac{120}{4}$ cm = 30 cm

Area of the floor = (side)2 = 480 cm x 480 cm = 230400 cm2

Area of one tile = (side)2 = 30 cm x 30 cm = 900 cm2

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

= $\frac{230400}{900}$

= 256

Cost of covering the floor = Number of tiles x cost of each tile

= 256 x ₹ 270

= ₹ 69,120

Hence, the cost of covering the floor is ₹ 69,120.

A rectangular plot of land is 50 m wide. The cost of fencing the plot at the rate of ₹180 per metre is ₹46,800. Find

(i) the length of the plot.

(ii) the cost of leveling the plot at the rate of ₹7.60 per m2.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Breadth of the plot ($b$) = 50 m

Total cost of fencing = ₹ 46,800

Rate of fencing = ₹ 180 per metre

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

= $\frac{46800}{180}$ m

= 260 m

∴ Perimeter of the plot = 260 m

Let the length of the plot be $l$ m.

As we know,

$2(l + b)$ = perimeter

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2(l + 50) = 260\\[1em] \Rightarrow l + 50 = \frac{260}{2} = 130\\[1em] \Rightarrow l = 130 - 50 = 80\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the length of the plot is 80 m.

(ii) Area of the plot = length x breadth

= 80 m x 50 m

= 4000 m2

Cost of leveling the plot = Area x rate of leveling

= 4000 x ₹ 7.60

= ₹ 30,400

Hence, the cost of leveling the plot is ₹ 30,400.

17Exercise 16.1

The area of a rectangular plot is 460 m2. If the length is 15% more than its breadth, find the perimeter of the plot.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Area of the plot = 460 m2

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

Length of the plot = $b$ + 15% of $b$

$$\begin{aligned}= b + \frac{15}{100} \times b\\[1em] = \frac{115b}{100}\\[1em] = \frac{23b}{20} \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

As we know,

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{23b}{20} \times b = 460\\[1em] \Rightarrow b^2 = 460 \times \frac{20}{23}\\[1em] \Rightarrow b^2 = 400\\[1em] \Rightarrow b = \sqrt{400} = 20\end{aligned}$$

∴ Breadth of the plot = 20 m

And, length of the plot = $\frac{23 \times 20}{20}$ m = 23 m

Perimeter of the plot = 2 (length + breadth)

= 2 (23 + 20) m

= 2 x 43 m

= 86 m

Hence, the perimeter of the plot is 86 m.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

AB = AC = 7.5 cm, BC = 9 cm and AD = 6 cm

(i) Area of ΔABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{1}{2} \times BC \times AD\\[1em] = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \text{ cm} \times 6 \text{ cm}\\[1em] = 27 \text{ cm}^2\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the area of ΔABC is 27 cm2.

(ii) In ΔABC, AB = base = 7.5 cm and height = CE

Area of ΔABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height = $\frac{1}{2}$ x AB x CE

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times 7.5 \times CE = 27\\[1em] \Rightarrow CE = \frac{27 \times 2}{7.5}\\[1em] \Rightarrow CE = \frac{54}{7.5} = 7.2\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the height CE from C to AB is 7.2 cm.

If the base of a right angled triangle is 8 cm and the hypotenuse is 17 cm, find its area.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let ABC be a right-angled triangle at B i.e. ∠B = 90° and its base BC = 8 cm and hypotenuse AC = 17 cm.

If the base of a right angled triangle is 8 cm and the hypotenuse is 17 cm, find its area. Perimeter and Area, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

From ΔABC, by Pythagoras theorem, we get

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow AC^2 = BC^2 + AB^2\\[1em] \Rightarrow 17^2 = 8^2 + AB^2\\[1em] \Rightarrow AB^2 = 17^2 - 8^2\\[1em] \Rightarrow AB^2 = 289 - 64 = 225\\[1em] \Rightarrow AB = \sqrt{225} \text{ cm} = 15 \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

Area of ΔABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

$= \frac{1}{2}$ × 8 cm × 15 cm

= 60 cm2

Hence, the area of the triangle is 60 cm2.

Given,

AB = 6 cm and BC = 8 cm, ∠B = 90°

As ΔABC is right angled at B, by Pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2\\[1em] \Rightarrow AC^2 = 6^2 + 8^2\\[1em] \Rightarrow AC^2 = 36 + 64 = 100\\[1em] \Rightarrow AC = \sqrt{100} \text{ cm} = 10 \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

Area of ΔABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{1}{2} \times BC \times AB\\[1em] = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \text{ cm} \times 6 \text{ cm}\\[1em] = 24 \text{ cm}^2\end{aligned}$$

In ΔABC, AC = base = 10 cm and height = BN

Area of ΔABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height = $\frac{1}{2}$ x AC x BN

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}$ x 10 x BN = 24

⇒ 5 x BN = 24

⇒ BN = $\frac{24}{5}$ = 4.8

Hence, the length of perpendicular BN on the side AC is 4.8 cm.

Given,

AB = 10 cm and EF = 16 cm

Area of ΔABE = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

∴ Area of parallelogram ABCD = area of ΔABE = 80 cm2

Let the altitude of the parallelogram to the base AB be $h$ cm.

Area of parallelogram ABCD = base x height

⇒ 10 x $h$ = 80

⇒ $h = \frac{80}{10}$ = 8

∴ Altitude of the parallelogram to the base AB = 8 cm

Since ABCD is a parallelogram, DC = AB = 10 cm

As M is the mid-point of DC,

DM = $\frac{1}{2}$ x DC = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 10 cm = 5 cm

In ΔAMD, taking DM as base, the corresponding height is the distance between AB and DC, i.e., 8 cm.

∴ Area of ΔAMD = $\frac{1}{2}$ x DM x height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 5 cm x 8 cm

= 20 cm2

Hence, the length of the altitude of the parallelogram is 8 cm and the area of ΔAMD is 20 cm2.

Area of rectangle ABCD = length x breadth

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times R = 44\\[1em] \Rightarrow R = 44 \times \frac{7}{44}\\[1em] \Rightarrow R = 7\end{aligned}$$

∴ Radius of the inner circle ($r$) = Radius of the outer circle - width of the path

= 7 m - 2 m

= 5 m

Inner circumference of the circular path = $2\pi r$

$$\begin{aligned}= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 5 \text{ m}\\[1em] = \frac{220}{7} \text{ m}\\[1em] = 31\frac{3}{7} \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

Area of the path = $\pi R^2 - \pi r^2 = \pi(R^2 - r^2)$

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{22}{7}(7 \times 7 - 5 \times 5) \text{ m}^2\\[1em] = \frac{22}{7}(49 - 25) \text{ m}^2\\[1em] = \frac{22}{7} \times 24 \text{ m}^2\\[1em] = \frac{528}{7} \text{ m}^2\\[1em] = 75\frac{3}{7} \text{ m}^2\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the inner circumference of the circular path is $\bm{31\frac{3}{7}}$ m and the area of the path is $\bm{75\frac{3}{7}}$ m2.

Given,

Area enclosed between the concentric circles = 770 cm2

Radius of the outer circle ($R$) = 21 cm

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

Area enclosed between the circles = $\pi R^2 - \pi r^2 = \pi(R^2 - r^2)$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7}(21^2 - r^2) = 770\\[1em] \Rightarrow 441 - r^2 = 770 \times \frac{7}{22}\\[1em] \Rightarrow 441 - r^2 = 245\\[1em] \Rightarrow r^2 = 441 - 245 = 196\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = \sqrt{196} = 14\end{aligned}$$

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Radius of the circular card sheet ($R$) = 14 cm

Radius of each small circle ($r$) = 3.5 cm

Length of the rectangle = 3 cm and breadth = 1 cm

Area of the circular card sheet = $\pi R^2$

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

= 616 cm2

Area of two small circles = $2 \times \pi r^2$

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 3.5 x 3.5 cm2

= 2 x 38.5 cm2

= 77 cm2

Area of the rectangle = length x breadth = 3 cm x 1 cm = 3 cm2

∴ Area of the remaining sheet = Area of the card sheet - area of two circles - area of the rectangle

= 616 cm2 - 77 cm2 - 3 cm2

= 536 cm2

Hence, the area of the remaining sheet is 536 cm2.

Calculate the length of the boundary and the area of the shaded region in the following diagram. All measurements are in centimetres. Unshaded part is a semicircle. Perimeter and Area, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.
Show SolutionHide Solution↓

From the figure, the rectangle is 7 cm wide and 10 cm long, and the unshaded semicircle is drawn on the top side of 7 cm as diameter.

∴ Radius of the semicircle ($r$) = $\frac{7}{2}$ cm = 3.5 cm

Length of the semicircular arc = $\frac{1}{2} \times 2\pi r = \pi r$

$= \frac{22}{7}$ × 3.5 cm

= 11 cm

The boundary of the shaded region consists of two sides of 10 cm each, the bottom side of 7 cm and the semicircular arc.

∴ Length of the boundary = (10 + 10 + 7 + 11) cm = 38 cm

Area of the rectangle = length x breadth = 10 cm x 7 cm = 70 cm2

Area of the semicircle = $\frac{1}{2} \times \pi r^2$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7}$ x 3.5 x 3.5 cm2

= 19.25 cm2

∴ Area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle - area of the semicircle

= 70 cm2 - 19.25 cm2

= 50.75 cm2

Hence, the length of the boundary is 38 cm and the area of the shaded region is 50.75 cm2.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let the side of the square be $a$ cm.

The diameter of each semicircle = side of the square = $a$ cm

∴ Radius of each semicircle = $\frac{a}{2}$ cm

From the figure,

radius of top semicircle + side of the square + radius of bottom semicircle = 28

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{a}{2} + a + \frac{a}{2} = 28\\[1em] \Rightarrow 2a = 28\\[1em] \Rightarrow a = 14\end{aligned}$$

∴ Side of the square = 14 cm and radius of each semicircle ($r$) = 7 cm

The boundary of the figure is made up of 4 semicircles of diameter 14 cm.

Length of each semicircular arc = $\frac{1}{2} \times \pi d$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7}$ x 14 cm

= 22 cm

∴ Length of the boundary = 4 x 22 cm = 88 cm

Area of the square = (side)2 = 14 cm x 14 cm = 196 cm2

Area of 4 semicircles = $4 \times \frac{1}{2} \times \pi r^2$

= 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 7 x 7 cm2

= 308 cm2

∴ Area of the shaded region = Area of the square + area of 4 semicircles

= 196 cm2 + 308 cm2

= 504 cm2

Hence, the length of the boundary is 88 cm and the area of the shaded region is 504 cm2.

Find the perimeter and the area of the shaded region in the following figure. All measurements all in centimetres. Perimeter and Area, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

Diameter of the semicircle = 10.5 cm - 3.5 cm = 7 cm

∴ Radius of the semicircle ($r$) = $\frac{7}{2}$ cm = 3.5 cm

Length of the semicircular arc = $\pi r$

$= \frac{22}{7}$ x 3.5 cm

= 11 cm

∴ Perimeter of the shaded region = (4 + 3.5 + 11 + 4 + 10.5) cm

= 33 cm

Area of the rectangle = length x breadth = 10.5 cm x 4 cm = 42 cm2

Area of the semicircle = $\frac{1}{2} \times \pi r^2$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7}$ x 3.5 x 3.5 cm2

= 19.25 cm2

∴ Area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle + area of the semicircle

Let ABC be the triangle with AB = 10 cm and AD = 8 cm perpendicular to BC, where D is the centre of the semicircle.

∴ BD = DC (radii of the semicircle)

In right angled triangle ADB, by Pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2

⇒ AB2 = AD2 + BD2

⇒ 102 = 82 + BD2

⇒ BD2 = 100 - 64 = 36

⇒ BD = $\sqrt{36}$ cm = 6 cm

∴ DC = BD = 6 cm

∴ BC = BD + DC = 6 cm + 6 cm = 12 cm

∴ Diameter of the semicircle = 12 cm and its radius ($r$) = 6 cm

In right angled triangle ADC, by Pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2

⇒ AC2 = AD2 + DC2

⇒ AC2 = 82 + 62 = 64 + 36 = 100

⇒ AC = $\sqrt{100}$ cm = 10 cm

Length of the semicircular arc = $\pi r$

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{22}{7} \times 6 \text{ cm}\\[1em] = \frac{132}{7} \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

∴ Perimeter of the shaded region = AB + AC + semicircular arc

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 6 \times 6 \text{ cm}^2\\[1em] = \frac{396}{7} \text{ cm}^2\end{aligned}$$

$$\begin{aligned}= \Big(48 + \frac{396}{7}\Big) \text{ cm}^2\\[1em] = \frac{732}{7} \text{ cm}^2\\[1em] = 104\frac{4}{7} \text{ cm}^2\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the perimeter of the shaded region is $\bm{38\frac{6}{7}}$ cm and its area is $\bm{104\frac{4}{7}}$ cm2.

= 36 cm

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

Perimeter of the semicircle (including its diameter) = $\pi r + 2r$

As the same wire is bent into the semicircle,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \pi r + 2r = 36\\[1em] \Rightarrow r\Big(\frac{22}{7} + 2\Big) = 36\\[1em] \Rightarrow r \times \frac{36}{7} = 36\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 36 \times \frac{7}{36}\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 7\end{aligned}$$

Area of the semicircle = $\frac{1}{2} \times \pi r^2$

Hence, the area of the shape so formed is 77 cm2.

Area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 6 cm x 8 cm

= 24 cm2

The area of the triangle is 24 cm2 and not 12 cm2.

So, Statement I is false.

Area of a triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height.

So, Statement II is true.

∴ Statement I is false but Statement II is true.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

A 3 m wide path runs outside and around a rectangular park of length 125 m and breadth 65 m. Find the area of the path.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Length of the park = 125 m

Breadth of the park = 65 m

Width of the path = 3 m

A 3 m wide path runs outside and around a rectangular park of length 125 m and breadth 65 m. Find the area of the path. Perimeter and Area, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

In the adjoining figure, the shaded portion shows the path.

Area of the park = length x breadth = 125 m x 65 m = 8125 m2

Length of the outer rectangle = 125 m + 3 m + 3 m = 131 m

Breadth of the outer rectangle = 65 m + 3 m + 3 m = 71 m

∴ Total area of the park and the path = length x breadth of the outer rectangle = 131 m x 71 m = 9301 m2

∴ Area of the path = total area of the park and the path - area of the park = 9301 m2 - 8125 m2 = 1176 m2

Hence, the area of the path is 1176 m2.

(i) the area of the shaded region

(ii) the area of the unshaded region

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

From the figure,

Length of the rectangle = 22 m and breadth = 14 m

Width of the shaded strip parallel to the length = 3 m

Width of the shaded strip parallel to the breadth = 2 m

(i) Area of the shaded portion parallel to the length = length of the rectangle x width of the strip = 22 m x 3 m = 66 m2

Area of the shaded portion parallel to the breadth = breadth of the rectangle x width of the strip = 14 m x 2 m = 28 m2

Area of the dark shaded portion (common to both strips) = width of one strip x width of the other strip = 3 m x 2 m = 6 m2

∴ Area of the shaded region = 66 m2 + 28 m2 - 6 m2

= 88 m2

Note that we subtract the area of the dark shaded portion because it has occurred twice.

Hence, the area of the shaded region is 88 m2.

(ii) Area of the rectangle = length x breadth = 22 m x 14 m = 308 m2

∴ Area of the unshaded region = Area of the rectangle - area of the shaded region

= 308 m2 - 88 m2

= 220 m2

Hence, the area of the unshaded region is 220 m2.

(ii) base = 3.4 m and height = 90 cm

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

As we know,

Area of a triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

(i) Given,

Base = 2 m and height = 1.5 m

Area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 2 m x 1.5 m

Hence, the area of the triangle is 1.5 m2.

(ii) Given,

Base = 3.4 m and height = 90 cm = $\frac{90}{100}$ m = 0.9 m

Area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 3.4 m x 0.9 m

= 1.7 m x 0.9 m

= 1.53 m2

Hence, the area of the triangle is 1.53 m2.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

SR = 12 cm, PS = 8 cm and QM = 7.6 cm

(i) Taking SR as the base of the parallelogram, its height is QM.

Area of the parallelogram PQRS = base x height

= 12 cm x 7.6 cm

= 91.2 cm2

Hence, the area of the parallelogram PQRS is 91.2 cm2.

(ii) Taking PS as the base of the parallelogram, its height is QN.

Area of the parallelogram PQRS = base x height = PS x QN

⇒ 8 x QN = 91.2

From the figure,

ΔABC is right angled at A, AC = 4 cm and AB = 3 cm.

AD is the altitude from A to BC.

(i) Area of ΔABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{1}{2} \times AB \times AC\\[1em] = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \text{ cm} \times 4 \text{ cm}\\[1em] = 6 \text{ cm}^2\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the area of ΔABC is 6 cm2.

(ii) As ΔABC is right angled at A, by Pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2

BC2 = AB2 + AC2

⇒ BC2 = 32 + 42 = 9 + 16 = 25

⇒ BC = $\sqrt{25}$ cm = 5 cm

Hence, the length of BC is 5 cm.

(iii) In ΔABC, BC = base = 5 cm and height = AD

Area of ΔABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{1}{2} \times BC \times AD\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times AD = 6\\[1em] \Rightarrow AD = \frac{6 \times 2}{5}\\[1em] \Rightarrow AD = \frac{12}{5} = 2.4\end{aligned}$$

Given,

Area of the right angled triangle = 54 cm2

One leg = 12 cm

Let the other leg be $x$ cm.

Area of a right-angled triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ x product of legs

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times x = 54 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 6x = 54 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \frac{54}{6} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 9\end{aligned}$$

∴ Other leg = 9 cm

Let the hypotenuse be $h$ cm.

By Pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow h^2 = 12^2 + 9^2\\[1em] \Rightarrow h^2 = 144 + 81 = 225\\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \sqrt{225} = 15\end{aligned}$$

∴ Hypotenuse = 15 cm

Perimeter of the triangle = sum of its three sides = (12 + 9 + 15) cm = 36 cm

Hence, the perimeter of the triangle is 36 cm.

(i) the length of the boundary

(ii) the area of the shaded region

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Diameter of the larger semicircle = 28 cm

∴ Radius of the larger semicircle ($R$) = 14 cm

Since the two smaller semicircles are equal and together make up the diameter of the larger semicircle,

diameter of each smaller semicircle = $\frac{28}{2}$ cm = 14 cm

∴ Radius of each smaller semicircle ($r$) = 7 cm

(i) As we know,

Length of a semicircular arc = $\pi r$

Length of the boundary = arc of the larger semicircle + arcs of the two smaller semicircles

= $\pi R + \pi r + \pi r$

= $\frac{22}{7}$ x 14 cm + 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 7 cm

= 44 cm + 44 cm

= 88 cm

Hence, the length of the boundary is 88 cm.

(ii) From the figure, one smaller semicircle is cut out from the larger semicircle and the other smaller semicircle is added to it. As the two smaller semicircles are equal, the area removed is equal to the area added.

∴ Area of the shaded region = area of the larger semicircle

= $\frac{1}{2} \times \pi R^2$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7}$ x 14 x 14 cm2

= 308 cm2

From the figure,

ED = 7 m, AC = 13 m and height of the trapezium = 6.5 m

Since ABDE is a parallelogram, AB = ED = 7 m

Area of ΔBCD = $\frac{1}{2}$ x base x height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 6 m x 6.5 m

= 19.5 m2

∴ Area of the trapezium ACDE = Area of parallelogram ABDE + area of ΔBCD

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Length of the uncovered side = 20 m

Area of the plot = 320 m2

Let the other side of the plot be $x$ m.

Area of the plot = length x breadth

And, breadth of the rectangle = diameter of a circle = 14 cm

In the adjoining figure, the length of the rectangle is 28 cm. Find the area of the shaded region. Perimeter and Area, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 7.

Each circle is inscribed in a square of side 14 cm.

Area of one square = (side)2 = 14 cm x 14 cm = 196 cm2

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

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

= 154 cm2

∴ Area of the square not covered by the circle = 196 cm2 - 154 cm2 = 42 cm2

This area is made up of 4 equal corner pieces, and the shaded region is one such corner piece.

∴ Area of the shaded region = $\frac{42}{4}$ cm2 = 10.5 cm2

Given,

Side of the square ABCD = 14 cm

Since the four arcs are of equal radius and adjacent arcs meet on the sides of the square,

radius of each arc ($r$) = $\frac{14}{2}$ cm = 7 cm

Each arc is a quadrant (one-fourth of a circle) as the angle at each corner of the square is 90°.

Perimeter of the shaded region = 4 x length of each quadrant arc

= 4 x $\frac{1}{4} \times 2\pi r$

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

= 44 cm

Four quadrants of the same radius together make one complete circle.

∴ Area of 4 quadrants = $\pi r^2$

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

= 154 cm2

Area of the square = (side)2 = 14 cm x 14 cm = 196 cm2

∴ Area of the shaded region = Area of the square - area of 4 quadrants

= 196 cm2 - 154 cm2

= 42 cm2

Hence, the perimeter of the shaded region is 44 cm and its area is 42 cm2.
