Perimeter and Area of Plane Figures Exercise 20.1 Solution

Question no – (1)

Solution : 

The ratio of the sides = 1 : 3 : 4

Let, the sides be x, 3x and 4x

Perimeter of the triangle of △PQR = (x + 3x + 4x) cm

According to the problem,

x + 3x + 4x = 40

=> 8x = 40

=> x = 40/8

= 5

Therefore the sides of the triangles are 5 cm 15 cm and 20 cm.

Question no – (2)

Solution :

Here, the length of the rectangular = 100 m

Breadth of the rectangular = 55 m

Area of the rectangular

= 100 × 55 m2

= 5500 m2

Now, the side of the square = 156 m

Area of the square

= (156)2

= 24336 m2

Area is left

= (24336 – 5500) m2

= 18836 m2

Area in hectares

= 18836/10000

= 1.8836 hectares.

Question no – (3)

Solution :

(a) Let, length of the each side of the square is = x cm

Diagonal of the square = length of the side × √2

According to the question,

x × √2 = 4√2

=> x = 4√2/√2

=> x = 4

Length of the each side = 4 cm

(b) Here, length of the each side = 4 cm

Perimeter of the square = 4 × x cm

= 4 × 4 cm

= 16 cm

Question no – (4)

Solution :

Here, uniform path = 2 cm

Now,

New length,

= 50 + 2 + 2

= 54 m

New breadth,

= 36 + 2 + 2

= 40 m

Area of the track

= {(54 × 40) – (50 × 36)} m

= {2160 – 1800} m

= 360 m

Thus the area of the track is 360 m.

Question no – (5)

Solution :

Here in Inward rectangular, EFGH

l1 = 27 – (6.25 + 6.25) m

= (27 – 12.5) m

= 14.5 m

b1 = 17 – (4 + 4) m

= (17 – 78) m

= 9 m

And, the out word rectangular ABCD,

l2 = 27m

b2 = 17m

Area of the shaded portion

= (27 × 17) – (14.5 × 9)

= (459 – 130.5) m2

= 328.5 m2

Therefore the area of the shaded portion 328.5m2

Question no – (6)

Solution :

Here, length of the carpet = 4m

Breadth of the carpet = 2.5m

Area of the carpet

= (4 × 2.5) m2

= 10 m2

Area of the rectangular room = 16m2

Now, Area of the floor

= (16 – 10) m2

= 6 m2

Question no – (7)

Solution :

Here, the length of the field = 70 m

Breadth of the field = 40 m

Let, wide of path = x m

Area of path = 1000m2

Now, according to the question,

40 × 70 – {(40 – x – x) × (70 – x – x)} = 1000

=> 2800 – {(40 – 2x) (70 – 2x)} = 1000

=> 2800 – {2800 – 80x – 140x + 4x2} = 1000

=> 2800 – 2800 + 80x + 140x – 4x2 = 1000

=> – 4x2 + 220x – 1000 = 0

=> x2 – 55x + 250 = 0

=> x2 – (50 + 5)x + 250 = 0

=> x2 – 50x – 5x (x – 50) = 0

=> (x – 50) (x – 5) = 0

x – 50 = 0

=> x = 50

x – 5 = 0

=> x = 5

Hence, width of the path will be 5 m.

Question no – (8)

Solution :

In 60 per m rate = 120600

In 1 per m rate = 120600/60

= 2010

Let, the breadth of the rectangular = x m

Perimeter of the rectangular

= 2(l + x) m

= 2(150 + x) m

Now, according to question,

=> 2 (150 + m) = 2010

=> 300 + 2x = 2010

=> 2x = 2010 – 300

=> 2x = 1710

=> x = 1710/2

= 855

Now, the area of the rectangular

= (150 × 855) m2

= 128,250m2

Perimeter and Area of Plane Figures exercise 20.2 Solution : 

Question no – (1)

= (25 × 8 . 4) cm²

=  (25 × 84/10) cm²

= 210 cm²

The area of the parallelogram is 210 cm²

Question no – (2)

Solution :

Required Figure,

Here , ABCD is a rhombus

AB = 13 CM

BC = 10 CM

Now , Area of the rhombus = 2 × area of  △ABC

AF × BC = AE × CD

= AE × 12 = 6.4 × 18

= AF = 9.6 cm

Question no – (4)

Solution :

Here, the perimeter of the parallogram = 60 cm

Let, the length of the side be 3x and 2x cm

Now, according to the question ,

2 (3x × 2x ) = 60

= 2 × 5x = 60

= 10x = 60

= x = 60/10

= x = 6

The side of the parallelogram are 18 and 12 cm

And, altitude corresponding to the larger side = 5 cm

Area of the parallelogram,

= base × altidude

= 18 × 5

= 90 cm²

Let, y be the altitude corresponding to the smaller side .

Now , Area of the parallelogram

= base × altitude

= 90 = 12 × y

= y = 90/12

= 7.5

The altitude corresponding to the smaller side is 7.5 cm .

Question no – (5)

Solution :

Here the side of triangle are 12 cm,

35 cm and 37 cm .

Now , a = 12 cm

B = 35 cm

C = 37 cm

And the area of triangle

= √s (s – a) (s – b) (s – c)

S = a + b + c/2 (From Her or′ s formula)

= 12 + 35 + 37/2

= 84/2

s = 42

Thus area of triangle,

= √42 (42 – 12) (42 – 35) (42 – 37) cm²

= √42 × 30 × 7 × 5 cm²

= √6 × 7 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 5 cm²

= 6 × 7 × 5 cm²

= 30 × 7 cm²

= 210 cm²

Therefore the area of  triangle 210 cm²

Question no – (6)

Solution :

Here, side of the equilateral triangle is (x) = 12 cm

Thus the area of the equilateral triangle

= √3/4 x² cm²

= √3/4 × (12)² cm²

= √3/4 × 12 × 12 cm²

=  36√3 cm²

Area of the equilateral triangle is 36√3 cm²

Question no – (7)

Solution :

Let, the length of each side of the triangle is x cm .

Area of an equilateral triangle is

= √3/4 × x² cm²

According to the question ,

√3/4 × x² = 16 √3

= x² = 16 × 4 √3

= x² =16 × 4

= x = √4 × 4 × 2 × 2

= x = 4 × 2

= x = 8

Therefore, the length of each side of an equilateral triangle is 8 cm .

Question no – (8)

Solution :

Let, the one of the parallel side is x other sides = 10 cm .

Here, height = 11 cm

Area of the trapezium = 1/2 × (sum of the parallel side) × height

= 1/2 × (x + 10) × 11

According to the question ,

= 1/2 (10 + x) × 11 = 121

= 1/2 (10 + x) = 121/11

= 1/2 (10 + x) = 11

= 10 + x/2 = 11

= 10 + x = 22

= x = 22 – 10

= x = 12

Therefore, the length of the parallel side is 12 cm .

Question no – (9)

Solution :

Here, the parallel sides of the trapezium is ,

16 cm and 20 cm .

Height = 12 cm

Area of the trapezium

= 1/2 × (16 + 20) × 12

= 1/2 × 36 × 12

= 216 cm²

Thus the area of the trapezium is 216 cm²

Question no – (10)

Solution :

Here , the parallel sides of the trapezium is = 12 m and 18 m

Distance between them = 6.4 m

Thus the area of the trapezium is = 1/2 × (sum of parallel sides) × height

= 1/2 × (18+12) × 6.4 cm²

= 1/2 × 30 × 6.4/10

= 92 cm²

Therefore, the area of the trapezium is 96 cm²

Question no – (11)

Solution :

Let , the length of the parallel side is = x cm

Other side of the trapezium is = 64 cm

Distance between two parallel side = 17 cm

Area of the trapezium = 1/2 × (64 + x) × 17 cm² according to the question ,

= 1/2 (64+x) × 17 = 850

= 64 + x/2 = 850/17

= 64 + x/2 = 50

= 64 + x = 100

= x = 100 – 64

= 36

Thus, length of the parallel side is 36 cm.

= 98.56 m²

Therefore, area of the circle 98. 56 m²

Question no – (9)

Solution :

Let, the radius of the circle = r cm

Area of the circle = πr²cm2

Now, according to the question,

=> r² = 2464 / π

=> r2 = 2464/5

=> r² = 2464 × 7 / 22 [∵ π = 22/7]

=> r = √112 × 7

=> √2 × 7 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7

=> r = 2 × 2 × 7

=> r = 28

Thus the radius of the circle = 28 cm

Circumference of the circle

= 2 × π × 28 cm
