Solutions
(1) a. 90.2 meters

Step 1
If we look at the question carefully, we notice that we have to find the circumference of the circle.
Given: diameter of the circle = 90.2 meters

Step 2
The circumference of a circle is the distance around the outside or the boundary.
22
We know: C = πD (where, D is the diameter of the circle and π = )
7
22
= × 28.7
7
= 90.2 meters

Step 3
Therefore, the circumference of the circle is 90.2 meters.

(2) a. 532 cm

Step 1
We know that the perimeter of any figure is the sum of all sides.

Step 2
To find the perimeter of the given figure we will add all its sides.

Step 3
This means the perimeter of the figure will be equal to 29 + 91 + 66 + 66 + 91 + 29 + 160 =
532 cm.

(3) a. c.

Step 1
The figures given in the question are made up of identical squares and we are required to find
the shapes that have the same perimeter. Let the side length of each square be 1 unit.

Step 2
Note that when some squares are removed from any edge of a rectangle, the perimeter of the
original rectangle and the new shape remains the same.

Step 3
Figure (a) is formed by removing 3 squares from a 5 × 4 rectangle, therefore, perimeter of
shape in figure (a) = perimeter of 5 × 4 rectangle = 2(5 + 4) = 18

Step 4
Figure (b) is formed by removing 1 squares from a 5 × 3 rectangle, therefore, perimeter of
shape in figure (b) = perimeter of 5 × 3 rectangle = 2(5 + 3) = 16

Step 5
Perimeter of shape in figure (c) = perimeter of 4 × 5 rectangle = 2(4 + 5) = 18

Step 6
Perimeter of shape in figure (d) = perimeter of 3 × 2 rectangle = 2(3 + 2) = 10

Step 7
Hence, figure (a) and figure (c) have the same perimeter.

(4) c. 252 cm

Step 1

According to the question, the area of the circle is 7546 cm2 and we are required to find the
perimeter of the semi-circle formed. Let us assume that the radius of the circle is r.

Step 2

Now, the area of the circle = πr2

⇒ πr2 = 7546

22r2
⇒ = 7546
7
7
⇒ r2 = 7546 ×
22

⇒ r2 = 2401
⇒ r = 49 cm

Step 3
Now, the perimeter of the given semi-circle = πr + 2r
22
= × 49 + 2 × 49
7
= 252 cm

Step 4
Hence, option c is the correct answer.

(5) c. 128

Step 1
Let us assume s is the length of the non-diagonal side of the right-angled isosceles triangle as
shown in the figure.

AB × AC
The area of the right-angled isosceles triangle ΔABC =
2

s2
=
2

Step 2
According to the question, if we increase one of the non-diagonal sides of the triangle by 8 cm
and reduce the other non-diagonal side by 3 cm, we find that the area of the triangle
increases by 28.
(s+8) × (s-3) s2
⇒ = + 28
2 2

s2 + 5s - 24 s2 + 56
⇒ =
2 2

⇒ s2 + 5s - 24 = s2 + 56
⇒ 5s = 24 + 56
⇒ s = 16

Step 3

s2
Hence, the area of the original triangle =

(6) b. 8 cm2

Step 1
If you count the shaded squares and half squares in the given figure, you will notice that the
total number of shaded squares are 8(count two half squares as one small square).

Step 2

Since the area of each small square is 1 cm2, therefore the area of shaded part is 8 cm2.

(7) 343

Step 1
A cube is a special rectangular prism in which length, width, and height are equal. Formula for
the volume of a cube:
Volume = (edge)
3

3
or, V = a

Step 2
Edge of the crystal, a = 7 centimeters
Volume of the crystal, V = a3

= 73 (Plug in the value for a)

= 343

Step 3
Hence, the volume of the crystal is 343 cubic centimeters.

(8) Breadth = 20 m
Area = 860 m2

Step 1
We know that the perimeter of any shape is equal to the total length of the boundary of the
shape. Also, a rectangular park has four sides.

Step 2
So, perimeter of the park = 2 × length + 2 × breadth
We are told that length of the park = 43 meters.
So, 2 × length = 2 × 43 = 86 meters.

Step 3
Perimeter of the park = 2 × length + 2 × breadth
What we see above is an addition equation where two addends are getting added to give a
sum.
Here, we know the sum (perimeter = 126 meters) and one of the addends (2 × length = 86
meters).
The other addend, 2 × breadth, is unknown.

Step 4
If we know the sum and one addend, the other addend can be found by subtracting the
known addend from the sum.
So,
Other addend = 2 × breadth = 126 - 86 = 40 meters.

Step 5
2 × breadth = 40 meters.
40
So, breadth = meters
2
= 20 meters.

Step 6
We know that the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its length and breadth.
So, area = length × breadth
= 43 meters × 20 meters
= 860 m2.

Step 1
Let ABCD be the given rhombus with AB = 13 cm and AC = 10 cm .

Let the diagonals AC and BD bisect at a point O.

We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
1 1
So, AO = AC and BO = BD.
2 2

∘
∴ AO = × 10 = 5 cm and ∠AOB = 90
2

Step 2
Using Pythagous' theorem in right △AOB, we have

2 2 2
AB = AO + BO
2 2 2
⟹ (13) = (5) + BO

2
⟹ 169 = 25 + BO
2
⟹ 144 = BO

⟹ 12 cm = BO

1
As, BO = BD , we have

1
BO = BD

1
⟹ 12 = BD

⟹ 2 × 12 = BD

⟹ 24 cm = BD

(10) of a meter

Step 1
Perimeter can be defined as the path or the boundary that surrounds a shape. It can also be
defined as the length of the outline of a shape.

Step 2
Now, to find the perimeter of the given shape, add the lengths of the sides:
2 5 3 5 15
+ + + =
17 17 17 17 17

Step 3
Since, the lengths are measured in meters, so the perimeter is also measured in meters.

Step 4

Hence, the perimeter of the given shape is of a meter.
