Mark the correct alternative in the following question:
The area of a rectangle is $650\ cm^2$ and its breadth is $13\ cm.$ The perimeter of the rectangle is:
  • A
    $63\ cm$
  • B
    $130\ cm$
  • C
    $100\ cm$
  • $126\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$126\ cm$
Area of the rectangle $= 650\ cm^2$
Breadth of the rectangle $= 13\ cm$
As, length of the rectangle $=\frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Breadth}}$
$=\frac{650}{13}$
$=50\text{cm}$
So, the perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
$=2(13 + 50)$
$=2 \times 63$

Answer
Correct option: C.
$192\ cm^2$
$192\ cm^2$
Because,
Let $ABCD$ be the rectangular plot.
Then, $AB = 16\ cm$ and $AC = 20\ cm BC = ?$
According to Pythagoras theorem,
From right angle triangle $ABC$, we have:
$= AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$
$= 20^2 = 16^2 + BC^2$
$= BC^2 = 20?^2 − 16^2$
$= BC^2 = 400 − 256$
$= BC^2 = 144$
$= BC$
$= \sqrt{144}$
$= BC = 12\ cm$
Hence, the area of the rectangle plot $=(l \times b)$
Where, $l = 16\ cm ,$
$b = 12\ cm$ Then,
$= (16 \times 12)$
$= 192\ cm^2$

    $15m$
  • B
    $16m$
  • $17m$

    $20m$ Hint: $l + b = 23$ and $lb = 120$ Diagonal $=\sqrt{\text{l}^2+\text{b}^2}=\sqrt{289}$ $=\sqrt{17\times17}=17$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$17m$
Area of rectangular carpet $= 120\ cm^2$
Perimeter $= 46m$
Now $2(l + b)$
$= 46m$
$\Rightarrow \text{l}+\text{b}=\frac{46}{2}=23$
and $lb = 120$
$\therefore (\text{l}-\text{b})^2=(\text{l}+\text{b})^2-4\text{lb}$
$=(23)^2-4\times120$
$=529-480$
$=49=(7)^2$
$\therefore \text{l}-\text{b}=7$
and $l + b = 23$
Adding we get, $2l = 30$
$\Rightarrow \text{l}=\frac{30}{2}$
$=15$
$\therefore b = 23 - 15 = 8$
Now diagonal $=\sqrt{\text{l}^2+\text{b}^2}$
$=\sqrt{(15)^2+(8)^2}$
$=\sqrt{225+64}$
$=\sqrt{289}$

Let us consider a rectangle $ABCD.$
Also, let us assume that the width of the rectangle, i.e., $BC be \times m.$

It is given that the length is three times width of the rectangle.
Therefore, length of the rectangle, i.e., $AB = 3x m$
Now, $AC$ is the diagonal of rectangle.
In right angled triangle $ABC.$
$\text{AC}^{2}=\text{AB}^{2}+\text{BC}^{2}$
$\big(8\sqrt{10}\big)^{2}=\big(3\text{x}\big)^{2}+\text{x}^{2}$
$640=9\text{x}^{2}+\text{x}^{2}$
$640=10\text{x}^{2}$
$\text{x}^{2}=\frac{64}{10}=64$
$\text{x}=\sqrt{64}=8\text{m}$
Thus, breadth of the rectangle $= x = 8m$
Similarly, length of the rectangle $= 3x = 3 \times 8 = 24m$
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)
$= 2(24 + 8)$
$= 2 \times 32 = 64m$

The perimeter of a shape is the distance around it. In particular, the perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula $P = 2W + 2L.$ Substitute the correct values of
the variables into this formula $(P = 30$ and $L = 6)$ and then solve for the width $W:$
$30 = 2W + 2(6)$
$30 = 2W + 12$
$18 = 2W$
$W = 9$
Therefore, the width of the garden is $9$ feet.

If the cost of fencing a rectangular field at $Rs. 7.50$ per metre is $Rs. 600$, and the length of the field is $24m$, then the breadth of the field is:
  • A
    $8m$
  • B
    $18m$
  • C
    $24m$
  • $16m$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$16m$

Cost of fencing the rectangular field $= Rs. 600$
Rate of fencing the field $= Rs. 7.50/m$
Therefore, perimeter of the field $=\frac{\text{Cost of fencing}}{\text{Rate of fencing}}$
$=\frac{600}{7.50}=80\text{m}$
Now, length of the field $= 24m$
Therefore, breadth of the field $=\frac{\text{Perimeter}}{2}-\text{Length}$
$=\frac{80}{2}-24=16\text{m}$

If a diagonal of a rectangle is thrice its smaller side, then its length and breadth are in the ratio.
  • A
    $3:1$
  • B
    $\sqrt{3}:1$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}:1$
  • $2\sqrt{2}:1$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$2\sqrt{2}:1$
Let us assume that the length of the smaller side of the rectangle, i.e., $BC$ be $x$ and length of the larger side , i.e., $AB$ be y.
It is given that the length of the diagonal is three times that of the smaller side.
Therefore, diagonal $= 3x = AC$

Now, applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:
$(Diagonal)^2 = (Smaller side)^2 + (Larger side)^2$
$(\text{AC})^{2}=(\text{AB})^{2}+(\text{BC})^{2}$
$(3\text{x})^{2}=(\text{x})^{2}+(\text{y})^{2}$
$9\text{x}^{2}=\text{x}^{2}+\text{y}^{2}$
$8\text{x}^{2}=\text{y}^{2}$
Now, taking square roots of both sides, we get:
$22\text{x}=\text{y}$
or, $\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}=\frac{22}{1}$
Thus, the ratio of the larger side to the smaller side $= 22 : 1$

Length of rectangle $(l)$ is $24\ cm.$
Length of diagonal $(d)$ is $30\ cm.$
Let the length of breadth be $b.$
Write the formula to calculate the diagonal of rectangle.
$\text{d} = \sqrt{\text{b}^{2} + \text{h}^{2}} (1)$
Substitute the values in equation $(1).$
${30}\sqrt{\text{b}^{2}+({24})^{2}}$
Solve for b.
$b^2 = 900 − 576$
$b^2 = 324$
$b = ± 18$
Since, the breath cannot be negative. So, neglect the negative value of breadth. the breadth of the rectangle is $18\ cm.$
write the formula to calculate perimeter of rectangle.
$P = 2(l + b) (2)$
Substitute the values in equation $(2).$
$P = 2(24 + 18)$
$= 2(42)$
$= 84$

Answer
Correct option: C.

Area of the rectangle $= 120m^2$
Perimeter $= 46m$
Let the sides of the rectangle be l and b.
Therefore,
Area = lb
$= 120m^2 …(1)$
Perimeter $= 2(l + b) = 46$
Or, $(l + b)$
$=\frac{46}{2}$
$=23m …(2)$
Now, length of the diagonal of the rectangle $= l^2 + b^2$
So, we first find the value of $(l^2 + b^2)$
Using identity:
$(l^2 + b^2) = (l + b)^2 - 2(lb)$ [From $(1)$ and $(2)$]
Therefore,
$(l2 + b2) = (23)2 - 2(120)$
$= 529 - 240$
$= 289$
Thus, length of the diagonal of the rectangle $= l^2 + b^2 = 289$

The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio $7 : 5$ and its perimeter is $96\ cm$. The length of the rectangle is:
  • A
    $21\ cm$
  • $28\ cm$
  • C
    $35\ cm$
  • D
    $14\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$28\ cm$

Ratio in the sides of a rectangle $= 7 : 5$
and perimeter $= 96\ cm$
$\therefore $ Length + Breadth $=\frac{96}{2}=48\text{cm}$
Let length $= 7x$
Then breadth $= 5x$
$\therefore $
$7x + 5x = 48$
$\Rightarrow 12x = 48$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}=\frac{48}{12}$
$= 4$
Length of the rectangle =$ 7x$
$= 7 \times 4$

  • A
    $1 : 2$
  • B
    $2 : 3$
  • C
    $3 : 1$
  • $4 : 1$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$4 : 1$
Let the two squares be $ABCD$ and $PQRS$. Further, the diagonal of square $PQRS$ is twice the diagonal of square $ABCD.$

$PR = 2AC$
Now, area of the square $=\frac{(\text{diagonal})^{2}}{2}$
Area of $PQRS =\frac{(\text{PR})^{2}}{2}$
Similarly, area of $ABCD =\frac{(\text{AC})^{2}}{2}$
According to the question:
If $AC = x$ units, then, $PR = 2x$ units
Therefore, $\frac{\text{Area of PQRS}}{\text{Area of ABCD}}=\frac{(\text{PR})^{2}\times2}{2\times(\text{AC})^{2}}$
$=\frac{(\text{PR})^{2}}{(\text{AC})^{2}}=\frac{(2\text{x})^{2}}{(1\text{x})^{2}}=\frac{4}{1}$
$=4:1$
Thus, the ratio of the areas of squares $PQRS$ and $ABCD = 4 : 1$

If the ratio of areas of two squares is $225 : 256$, then the ratio of their perimeters is:
  • A
    $225 : 256$
  • B
    $256 : 225$
  • $15 : 16$
  • D
    $16 : 15$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$15 : 16$
Let the two squares be $ABCD$ and $PQRS$.
Further, let the lengths of each side of $ABCD$ and $PQRS$ be $x$ and $y$, respectively.
Therefore, $\frac{\text{Area of square ABCD}}{\text{Area of square PQRS}}=\frac{\text{x}^{2}}{\text{y}^{2}}$
$=\frac{225}{256}$
Taking square roots on both sides, we get:
$\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}=\frac{15}{16}$
Now, the ratio of their perimeters:
$\frac{\text{Perimeter of square ABCD}}{\text{Perimeter of square PQRS}}$
$\frac{4\times\text{side of square ABCD}}{4\times\text{side of square PQRS}}=\frac{4\text{x}}{4\text{y}}$
$\frac{\text{Perimeter of square ABCD}}{\text{Perimeter of square PQRS}}=\text{x}:\text{y}$
$\frac{\text{Perimeter of square ABCD}}{\text{Perimeter of square PQRS}}=\frac{15}{16}$
Thus, the ratio of their perimeters $= 15 : 16$

Length and breadth of a rectangular sheet of paper are $20\ cm$ and $10\ cm,$ respectively. A rectangular piece is cut from the sheet as shown in Fig. Which of the following statements is correct for the remaining sheet?
  • Perimeter remains same but area changes.
  • B
    Area remains the same but perimeter changes.
  • C
    Both area and perimeter are changing.
  • D
    Both area and perimeter remain the same.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Perimeter remains same but area changes.
Perimeter of rectangular sheet $= 2 \times (Length + Breadth)$
$= 2 \times (20 + 10)$
$= 2 \times 30 = 60\ cm$
$\therefore$ A \times Breadth
$= 200\ cm^2$

Now, perimeter of rectangular sheet after cutting the rectangular piece
$=$ Sum of all sides $= 20 + 8 + 5 + 2 + 15 +10 = 60\ cm$
Area = Area of rectangle ABFG + Area of rectangle BCDE
$= (Length \times Breadth) + (Length \times Breadth)$
$= (15 \times 10) + (5 \times 8)$
$= 150 + 40 = 190sq-cm$
Hence, perimeter remains the same but area changes after cutting the piece.
