11 MENSURATION Exercise 11.1 Q.1. A square and a rectangular field with measurements as given in the figure have the same perimeter. Which field has a larger area? (a) Side = 60 m (Given) Perimeter of square = 4 side = 4 60 = 240 m Area of square = (Side) 2 = (60) 2 = 3600 m 2 ----- (i) (b) Here, length (l) = 80 m (Given) breadth (b) =? Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b) 240 m = 2(80 + b) or, 240 2 = 80 + b 120 = 80 + b 120 80 = b 40 = b b = 40 m Area of rectangle = l b = 80 m 40 m = 3200 m 2 ---------------- (ii) 1

From eqn. (i) and (ii), we have Area of square > Area of rectangle Hence, field (a) has larger area. Q.2. Mrs. Kaushik has a square plot with the measurement as shown in the figure. She wants to construct a house in the middle of the plot. A garden is developed around the house. Find the total cost of developing a garden around the house at the rate of Rs 55 per m 2. We know that area of a square = (Side) 2 Area of rectangular plot = l b Subtracting eqn. (ii) from (i), we get = (25) 2 = 625 m 2 ---------- (i) = 20 15 = 300 m 2 -------- (ii) Area of garden = Area of square plot Area of middle plot (Rectangular plot) = (625 300) m 2 = 325 m 2 Hence, the total cost of developing the garden = 325 m 2 Rs 55 = Rs 17,875 Q.3. The shape of a garden is rectangular in the middle and semicircular at the ends as shown in the diagram. Find the area and the perimeter of this garden [Length of rectangle is 20 (3.5 + 3.5) metres]. 2

Length of rectangle = 20 (3.5 + 3.5) m = (20 7) m = 13 m Breadth of rectangle = 7 m Also, breadth of rectangle = Diameter of semi-circle = 7 m As radius Diameter Radius of semicircular ends = 3.5 m Hence, perimeter of semicircular ends = 2 πr = 2 22 7 3.5 = 22 m ------------ (i) Perimeter of the rectangular portion = 2(l + b) Adding eqn. (i) and (ii), we get = 2 (13 + 7) = 2 20 = 40 m ------------ (ii) Perimeter of the garden = (22 m + 40 m) = 62 m Area of the rectangular portion = l b = 13 7 = 91 m 2 Area of semicircular ends = 2 1 2 πr2 = 22 3.5 3.5 7 = 38.5 m 2 Area of the garden = 38.5 cm 2 + 91 cm 2 = 129.5 m 2 Hence, perimeter of the garden = 62 m Area of the garden = 129.5 m 2 3

Q.4. A flooring tile has the shape of a parallelogram whose base is 24 cm and the corresponding height is 10 cm. How many such tiles are required to cover a floor of area 1080 m 2? (If required you can split the tiles in whatever way you want to fill up the corners). Area of a tile = base height = b h We know, 1 m = 100 cm = 24 10 = 240 cm 2 or, 1 m 2 = 100 100 cm 2 Area of the floor = 1080 m 2 Number of tiles required = = 1080 100 100 cm 2 = 10800000 cm 2 Area of floor Area of flooring tiles = 10800000 240 Hence, 45000 tiles are required. = 45000. Q.5. An ant is moving around a few food pieces of different shapes scattered on the floor. For which food-piece would the ant have to take a longer round? Remember, circumference of a circle can be obtained by using the expression c = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. (a) (b) (c) (a) Given diameter of semi-circle = 2.8 cm 4

So, radius of semi-circle = 1.4 cm Circumference of semi-circle = 4.4 cm (b) Perimeter of the given shape = Circumference of semicircle + Perimeter of square = 4.4 cm + 6.0 cm = 10.4 cm (c) Perimeter of the given shape = Circumference of semicircle + 2 cm + 2 cm. = 4.4 cm + 2 cm + 2 cm = 8.4 cm Hence, the ant have to take a longer round for the (b) food-piece.
