1. ABCD is a square of side 24 cm. EF is parallel to BC and AE = 15 cm. By how much does
(i) the perimeter of AEFD exceed the perimeter of EBCF?
(ii) the area of AEFD exceed the area of EBCF?

Solution:
Given
The side of the square ABCD = 24 cm
EF || BC || AD
AE is of length 15 cm
EB = 24 – 15
EB = 9 cm

(i) Perimeter of AEFD = 2 (15 + 24) cm
= 2 (39) cm
We get,
= 78 cm
Perimeter of EBCF = 2 (9 + 24) cm
= 2 (33) cm
We get,
= 66 cm
Now,
Difference between the two perimeters = 78 – 66
= 12 cm
(ii) Area of AEFD = l × b
= 15 × 24
We get,
= 360 sq. cm
Area of EBCF = 9 × 24
= 216 sq. cm
Now, difference between the two areas = 360 – 216
= 144 sq. cm
2. Nagma runs around a rectangular park 180 m long and 120 m wide at the rate of 7.5 km/ hour. In how much time will she complete five rounds?
Solution:
Length of rectangular plot (l) = 180 m
Breadth of rectangular (b) = 120 m
Perimeter = 2 (l + b)
= 2 (180 + 120) m
= 2 (300)
We get,
= 600 m
Distance travelled in 5 rounds = 600 × 5
= 3000 m i.e
= 3 km
Given speed = 7.5 km/hr
Time taken = (3 / 7.5) h
= {(3 × 10) / 75} h
= (30 / 75) h
We get,
= (2 / 5) h
= (2 / 5) × 60
= 2 × 12
= 24 minutes
3. The area of a rectangular plot is 540 m2, if its length is 27 m, find its breadth and perimeter.
Solution:
Given
Area of a rectangular plot = 540 m2
Length (l) = 27 m
Therefore,
Breadth = (Area) / (Length)
= (540 / 27) m
We get,
= 20 m
And Perimeter = 2 (l + b)
= 2 (27 + 20) m
= 2 (47) m
We get,
= 94 m
Therefore, the breadth of the rectangular plot is 20 m and its perimeter is 94 m
4. Find the area of each of the following parallelogram:

Solution:
(i) Base of the parallelogram (b) = 8 cm and
Height of the parallelogram (h) = 4.5 cm
Area = Base × Height
= 8 × 4.5
= 36 cm2
(ii) Base of the parallelogram (b) = 2 cm
Height of the parallelogram (h) = 4.4 cm
Area = Base × Height
= 2 × 4.4
= 8.8 cm2
(iii) Base of the parallelogram (b) = 2.5 cm
Height of the parallelogram (h) = 3.5 cm
Area = Base × Height
= 2.5 × 3.5
= 8.75 cm2
5. Find the area of each of the following triangles:

Solution:
(i) Base of the triangle (b) = 6.4 cm
Height of the triangle (h) = 6 cm
Area of the triangle = (1 / 2) × base × height
= (1 / 2) × 6.4 × 6 cm2
We get,
= 19.2 cm2
(ii) Base of the triangle (b) = 5 cm
Height of the triangle (h) = 6 cm
Area of the triangle = (1 / 2) × base × height
= (1 / 2) × 5 × 6
We get,
= 15 cm2
(iii) Base of the triangle (b) = 4.5 cm
Height of the triangle (h) = 6 cm
Area of the triangle = (1 / 2) × base × height
= (1 / 2) × 4.5 × 6
We get,
= 13.5 cm2
6. Find the circumference of the circles with the following radius:
(i) 7 cm
(ii) 21 cm
(iii) 28 mm
(iv) 3.5 cm
Solution:
(i) Radius of the circle (r) = 7 cm
We know that,
Circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 × (22 / 7) × 7
We get,
= 44 cm
Hence, the circumference of the circle is 44 cm
(ii) Radius of the circle (r) = 21 cm
We know that,
Circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 × (22 / 7) × 21
We get,
= 132 cm
Hence, the circumference of the circle is 132 cm
(iii) Radius of the circle (r) = 28 mm
We know that,
Circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 × (22 / 7) × 28
We get,
= 176 mm
Hence, the circumference of the circle is 176 mm
(iv) Radius of the circle = 3.5 cm
We know that,
Circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 × (22 / 7) × 3.5
We get,
= 22 cm
Hence, the circumference of the circle is 22 cm
7. Find the area of the circles, given that:
(i) radius = 14 mm
(ii) diameter = 49 m
(iii) diameter = 9.8 m
(iv) radius = 5 cm
Solution:
(i) Radius (r) = 14 mm
Hence,
Area = πr2
= (22 / 7) × 14 × 14
We get,
= 616 cm2
Therefore, the area of the circle is 616 cm2
(ii) Diameter = 49 m
Hence,
Radius = (49 / 2) m
Area = πr2
= (22 / 7) × (49 / 2) × (49 / 2)
We get,
= 3773 m2
Therefore, the area of the circle is 3773 m2
(iii) Diameter = 9.8 m
Hence,
Radius = (9.8 / 2)
= 4.9 m
Area = πr2
= (22 / 7) × 4.9 × 4.9
We get,
= 75. 46 m2
Therefore, the area of the circle is 75.46 m2
(iv) Radius = 5 cm
Area = πr2
= (22 / 7) × 5 × 5
We get,
= (550 / 7)
=
cm2
