A square park has a side length of 50 m. What is the distance covered by Usha if she takes two rounds of the park?
  • a)
    100 m
  • b)
    200 m
  • c)
    400 m
  • d)
    600 m
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Dr Manju Sen answered
The perimeter of a square is 4 × side length. Therefore, for one round, the distance is 4 × 50 m = 200 m. For two rounds, the distance is 200 m × 2 = 400 m.

Akshi wants to put lace around a rectangular tablecloth that is 5 m long and 3 m wide. What is the length of the lace required?
  • a)
    15 m
  • b)
    8 m
  • c)
    10 m
  • d)
    16 m
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Kumar answered
The perimeter of the rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all sides. Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width) = 2 × (5 m + 3 m) = 2 × 8 m = 16 m. So, the lace required is 16 m.

The area of a rectangular sheet of paper is 20 cm2. Its length is 5 cm. Find its width.
  • a)
    1 cm
  • b)
    2 cm
  • c)
    3 cm
  • d)
    4 cm.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Dr Manju Sen answered
Step 1: Use the formula for the area of a rectangle.
The formula for the area A of a rectangle is:
A = Length × Width
Step 2: Rearrange the formula to solve for the width.
The width can be calculated by:
Width = A / Length
Step 3: Substitute the given values.
Substitute the given area and length:
Width = 20 / 5 = 4 cm
The width of the sheet of paper is 4 cm.

Understanding the Area of a Square
To find the area of a square, you can use the formula:
- Area = Side Length × Side Length
In this case, the side length of the garden is given as 20 meters.
Calculating the Area
Let's apply the formula step by step:
- Step 1: Identify the side length:
The side length of the square garden is 20 m.
- Step 2: Use the formula for area:
Area = 20 m × 20 m
- Step 3: Perform the multiplication:
Area = 400 sq m
Conclusion
The area of the square garden is 400 square meters. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B'.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
- Option A (40 sq m): This suggests a much smaller area than the actual measurement.
- Option C (100 sq m): This area corresponds to a side length of 10 m, not 20 m.
- Option D (200 sq m): This area would indicate a side length of approximately 14.14 m, which is also incorrect.
Final Note
Understanding how to calculate the area of a square is essential in various applications, from gardening to architectural design. Always remember to square the side length to find the area correctly!

  • b)
    1200 sq m
  • c)
    3600 sq m
  • d)
    14400 sq m
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Problem
To find the area of a square field, we first need to understand the relationship between its perimeter and area.
Calculating the Side Length
- The formula for the perimeter (P) of a square is given by:
P = 4 × side length (s)
- Given that the perimeter of the field is 120 m:
4s = 120 m
- To find the side length, we divide both sides by 4:
s = 120 m / 4
s = 30 m
Calculating the Area
- The formula for the area (A) of a square is:
A = side length (s) × side length (s)
- Substituting the calculated side length:
A = 30 m × 30 m
A = 900 sq m
Conclusion
- Therefore, the area of the field is 900 sq m.
The correct answer is option 'A'.

The area of a rectangle is 72 sq m and its length is 12 m. What is the width?
  • a)
    6 m
  • b)
    8 m
  • c)
    9 m
  • d)
    12 m
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Problem
To find the width of a rectangle when the area and length are given, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
- Area = Length × Width
In this case, we know:
- Area = 72 sq m
- Length = 12 m
Calculating the Width
To find the width, we rearrange the area formula:
- Width = Area / Length
Now, substituting the known values:
- Width = 72 sq m / 12 m
Performing the Calculation
Now we can perform the division:
- Width = 72 / 12
- Width = 6 m
Conclusion
Thus, the width of the rectangle is:
- 6 m, which corresponds to option 'A'.
Verification
To ensure our calculation is correct, we can verify by recalculating the area using the length and the width we found:
- Area = Length × Width
- Area = 12 m × 6 m
- Area = 72 sq m
Since this matches the given area, our answer is confirmed as correct.
In summary, the width of the rectangle is:
- 6 m (Option 'A').

A rectangular garden has a perimeter of 60 m and a width of 10 m. What is the length of the garden?
  • a)
    10 m
  • b)
    15 m
  • c)
    20 m
  • d)
    30 m
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Coachify answered
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (Length + Width). Given 60 m = 2 × (Length + 10 m). Solving for Length, we get Length = (60 m / 2) - 10 m = 20 m.

A rectangle has a length of 15 m and a perimeter of 50 m. What is the breadth of the rectangle?
  • a)
    10 m
  • b)
    5 m
  • c)
    20 m
  • d)
    25 m
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (Length + Breadth). Given 50 m = 2 × (15 m + Breadth). Solving for Breadth, we get Breadth = 25 m / 2 = 5 m.

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 20 cm and its length is 6 cm, what is its breadth?
  • a)
    2 cm
  • b)
    4 cm
  • c)
    6 cm
  • d)
    8 cm
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Kumar answered
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (Length + Breadth). Given 20 cm = 2 × (6 cm + Breadth). Solving for Breadth, Breadth = (20 cm / 2) - 6 cm = 4 cm.

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 36 m and the length is 10 m, what is the width?
  • a)
    4 m
  • b)
    8 m
  • c)
    6 m
  • d)
    9 m
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (Length + Width). Given 36 m = 2 × (10 m + Width). Solving for Width, we get Width = (36 m / 2) - 10 m = 6 m.

A rectangle has a length of 7 m and a breadth of 5 m. What is the area of the rectangle?
  • a)
    12 sq m
  • b)
    35 sq m
  • c)
    24 sq m
  • d)
    14 sq m
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Calculation of Area of a Rectangle
Area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Area = Length x Breadth

Given Data
- Length of the rectangle = 7 m
- Breadth of the rectangle = 5 m

Calculation
- Area = 7 m x 5 m
- Area = 35 sq m
Therefore, the area of the rectangle with a length of 7 m and a breadth of 5 m is 35 sq m.
Therefore, option 'B' (35 sq m) is the correct answer.

The perimeter of the figure
  • a)
    20 cm
  • b)
    10 cm
  • c)
    24 cm
  • d)
    15 cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the perimeter of the given figure, we need to add the lengths of all the sides:
The sides are given as: 3 cm, 4 cm, 6 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm.
Now, add them together:
3 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 20 cm
The perimeter of the figure is 20 cm.

What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 4 cm?
  • a)
    8 cm
  • b)
    12 cm
  • c)
    16 cm
  • d)
    20 cm
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by 4. So, Perimeter = 4 × 4 cm = 16 cm.
