(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.

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.
