Question 51.


Prashant wants to cover his kitchen shelf with square tiles of side 0.5 m. The kitchen shelf's dimensions being 4m by 3m. Find the number of tiles required. If each tile costs Rs 70, how much will he have to spend for covering his kitchen shelf? [4 MARKS]

Answer: Option A. ->
:

Steps: 2 Marks
Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Area of one square tile = (side)2 = (0.5m)2 = 0.25 m2.


Area of the kitchen shelf  = length × breadth
= 4 × 3 = 12m

 


Number of tiles
= Area of kitchen shelfArea of square tile
= 120.25 = 48
Cost of 1 tile = Rs 70
Cost of 48 tiles = Rs 48 × 70 = Rs 3360

Find The Area Of The Following Shape (in Sq. Cm) [4 MARKS]Â...
Area of the above shapes can be calculated in two steps:

 


i) Area of shape marked 1
ii) Area of shape marked 2


⇒ Area of shape marked 1 = Area of rectangle
= length × breadth


= 4 × 9


= 36 cm2
 


⇒Area of shape marked 2 = Area of triangle
= 12× base × height


= 12× 6 × 4


= 12 cm2


⇒Area of shape = Area of shape marked 1+ Area of shape marked 2


= (36 + 12) cm2
= 48 cm2


Question 53.


Pratik and his friends were playing around a track that is shaped like a regular hexagon. Each side measures 45 feet. If they make 2 complete trips around the track, how far will they have walked? [3 MARKS]

Steps: 1 Mark
Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
The perimeter of a regular hexagon
= 6×side length


Perimeter of the hexagon
= 6×45 feet
=270feet


As they walk 2 rounds:
 Distance covered
= 2×270feet
=540feet


Question 54.


A large pizza has a circumference of 88 inches.  What will be the smallest area of the box holding the pizza? [4 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Steps: 2 Marks
Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Circumference of a circle
= 2×π×r=d×π=88 inches
Where, d = diameter  and π=227
88=227×d
d=88×722
d=28inches
The diameter of the pizza will be equal to the length of the side of the box.
Side of box = 28 inches
Area of the box = (side)2  = (28 inches)2 = 784 inches2


Question 55.

Answer: Option A. ->
:

Each Option: 2 Marks
(a) The above figures can be split into multiple rectangles as follows:

Area of 1st rectangle
=21×7=147 cm2
Area of 2nd rectangle
=7×7=49 cm2
Area of 3rd rectangle
=7×7=49 cm2
Total area of the whole figure
 =147+49+49=245 cm2
(b) The above figures can be split into multiple rectangles as follows:

Area of 1st rectangle
=5×1=5 cm2
Area of 2nd rectangle
=4×1=4 cm2
Total area of the whole figure
=5+4=9 cm2


Question 56.


Perimeter is the distance covered along the boundary forming a/an________ when you go round the figure once. 


  1.     open figure
  2.     open curve
  3.     closed figure
  4.     line
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> closed figure
:
C

The length of the boundary of a closed figure is called its perimeter.


Hence, perimeter is the distance covered along the boundary forming a closed figure when you go round the figure once. 


Question 57.


Perimeter of any figure is


  1.     Sum of lengths of sides
  2.     Product of length of all sides
  3.     Square of lengths of all sides
  4.     None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Sum of lengths of sides
:
A

The perimeter of a figure is the sum of lengths of all sides. In other words, perimeter is the distance covered along the boundary of the figure when you go round the figure once.


Question 58.


A rectangle has a length of 10 inches and breadth of 5 inches. The perimeter of the rectangle will be 


  1.     30 square inches 
  2.     30 inches
  3.     15 square inches
  4.     15 inches   
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 30 inches
:
B

Perimeter of a rectangle
= 2 × (Length + Breadth)
= 2 × ( 10 inches + 5 inches )
= 30 inches.


Question 59.


Perimeter is not valid for


  1.     irregular and closed figures
  2.     all closed figures
  3.     closed regular figures
  4.     open figures
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> open figures
:
D

Perimeter is basically the total length of the boundary of a figure. This is valid for closed figures only (both regular and irregular).


Question 60.


The perimeter of a regular octagon with each side measuring 15 cm is


  1.     275 cm
  2.     100 cm
  3.     120 cm
  4.     None of above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 120 cm
:
C

Perimeter = Sum of all the sides
Since it is a regular octagon, all sides will be equal.
Perimeter = 8 × length of a side
                     = 8 × 15 cm
                     = 120 cm
