Area and Perimeter


  1. The area of sector of a circle of radius 5 cm, formed by an arc of length 3.5 cm is ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Area of sector = ( arc length x radius ) / 2 cm2

    Correct Option: C

    Area of sector = ( arc length x radius ) / 2 cm2
    = (3.5 x 5 ) / 2
    = 8.75 cm2

    Let length = a metres and breadth = b metres
    then, 2(a+b)= 46
    ⇒ (a+b) =23 and ab =120
    ∴diogonal = √a2+b2=√(a+b)2-2ab
    √232-2 *120
    =√ 289 = 17m

    Correct Option: C

    Let length = a metres and breadth = b metres
    Then, 2(a+b)= 46
    ⇒ (a+b) =23 and ab =120
    ∴ Diagonal = √a2 + b2
    (23)2-2 x 120
    √289 = 17 m



  1. Radhika runs along the boundary of a rectangular park at the rate of 12 km/hr and completes one full round in 15 minutes. If the length of the park is 4 times its breadth , the area of the park is ?

    Speed = 12 x (5/18) m/sec
    =10/3 m/sec

    there4; perimeter = (10/3) x 15 x 60 m=3000 m
    ∵ 2( a + 4a) = 3000 m
    ⇒ a = 300 m
    So, length = 1200 m and breadth = 300 m

    Correct Option: A

    Speed = 12 x (5/18) m/sec
    =10/3 m/sec

    there4; perimeter = (10/3) x 15 x 60 m=3000 m
    ∵ 2( a + 4a) = 3000 m
    ⇒ a = 300 m
    So, length = 1200 m and breadth = 300 m

    ∴ Area = (1200 x 300 ) m2 = 360000m2

    Area of a triangle formed by joining the mid point of the sides of the triangle is 1/4th of area of the original triangle .

    Correct Option: B

    Area of a triangle formed by joining the mid point of the sides of the triangle is 1/4th of area of the original triangle .
    So area of Δ DEF = 36/ 4 = 9 m2



  1. A rectangular carpet has an area of 60 sq. m. Its diagonal and longer side together equal 5 times the shorter side, The length of the carpet is ?

    Let the longer side = l, shorter side = b and diagonal = d
    Then, area of rectangular carpet = l x b = 60 ....(1)

    And from question d + l = 5b
    ⇒ d = 5b - l ...(2)
    ⇒ d2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
    ⇒ l2+ b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
    ⇒ l2+b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x 60
    ⇒ 24b2 = 600
    ∴ b = √25 = 5 m
    √ l = 60 / b = 60 / 5 = 12 m

    Correct Option: B

    Let the longer side = l, shorter side = b and diagonal = d
    Then, area of rectangular carpet = l x b = 60 ....(1)

    And from question d + l = 5b
    ⇒ d = 5b - l ...(2)
    ⇒ d2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
    ⇒ l2+ b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x lb
    ⇒ l2+b2 = 25b2 + l2 - 10 x 60
    ⇒ 24b2 = 600
    ∴ b = √25 = 5 m
    √ l = 60 / b = 60 / 5 = 12 m
