(iv) Length = 24 cm breadth = 180 mm
Solution:
Given
Length of the rectangle = 15 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 6.4 cm
Hence, the area of the rectangle is calculated as follow
Area = Length × Breadth
Area = 15 cm × 6.4 cm
We get,
= 96 cm2
Hence, the area of the rectangle = 96 cm2
(ii) Given
Length of the rectangle = 8.5 m
Breadth of the rectangle = 5 m
Hence, the area of the rectangle is calculated as follows:
Area = Length × Breadth
Area = 8.5 m × 5 m
We get,
= 42.5 m2
Hence, the area of the rectangle = 42.5 m2
(iii) Given
Length of the rectangle = 3.6 m
Breadth of the rectangle = 90 cm
We know that,
100 cm = 1 m
Hence, the breadth can be converted into metre from centimetre as follows
Breadth = 90 cm
= 90 / 100 m
We get,
= 0.9 m
Hence, the area of the rectangle is calculated as follows:
Area = Length × Breadth
Area = 3.6 m × 0.9 m
We get,
= 3.24 m2
Hence, the area of the rectangle = 3.24 m2
(iv) Given
Length of the rectangle = 24 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 180 mm
We know that,
10 mm = 1 cm
Hence, the breadth can be converted into centimetre from millimetre as below
Breadth = 180 mm
= 180 / 10 cm
We get,
= 18 cm
Hence, the area of the rectangle is calculated as follows:
Area = Length × Breadth
Area = 24 cm × 18 cm
We get,
= 432 cm2
Therefore, the area of the rectangle = 432 cm2

(i) l, if A = 48 cm2 and b = 6 cm
(ii) b, if A = 88 m2 and l = 8 m
Solution:
(i) A = 48 cm2 and b = 6 cm
The length of the rectangle can be calculated as below:
Area = Length × Breadth
A = l × b
l = A / b
Substituting the value of A and b, we get,
l = 48 / 6
l = 8 cm
Therefore, the length of the rectangle = 8 cm
(ii) Given
A = 88 m2 and l = 8 m
The breadth of the rectangle is calculated as below:
Area = Length × Breadth
A = l × b
b = A / l
Substituting the values of A and l, we get,

Area = (7 m)2
= 7 m × 7 m
We get,
= 49 m2
Given each side is increased by 3 m,
So, the new length of side will be = 3 m + 7 m
= 10 m
Hence, the area of square can be calculated as follows:
Area = (side)2
Area = (10 m)2
= 10 m × 10 m
We get,
= 100 m2
Increase in area can be calculated as below:

a2 / a = 4
We get,
a = 4
Therefore, each side of square = 4
8. A rectangular piece of paper has area = 24 cm2 and length = 5 cm. Find its perimeter.
Solution:
Given
Area of rectangular piece of paper = 24 cm2
Length of the rectangle = 5 cm
We know that,
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
24 cm2 = 5 cm × breadth
breadth = 24 cm2 / 5 cm
breadth = 4.8 cm
The perimeter of a rectangular piece of paper can be calculated as follows:
Perimeter = 2 (Length + Breadth)
Perimeter = 2 (5 cm + 4.8 cm)
= 2 × 9.8 cm
We get,
= 19.6 cm
Therefore, the perimeter of the paper = 19.6 cm
9. Find the perimeter of a rectangle whose area = 2600 m2 and breadth = 50 m.

Breadth of the rectangle = 50 m
The length of the rectangle can be calculated as below:
Length = Area / breadth
= 2600 m2 / 50 m
We get,
= 52 m
Hence, the perimeter of rectangle can be calculated as below:
Perimeter = 2 (Length + Breadth)
Perimeter = 2 (52 m + 50 m)
= 2 × 102 m
We get,
= 204 m
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle = 204 m
10. What will happen to the area of a rectangle, if its length and breadth both are trippled?
Solution:
Let us consider the length of the rectangle is l and breadth of the rectangle is b
Area = length × breadth
Since,
Length and breadth of the rectangle are trippled
So, new length and breadth will be = 3l × 3b
Hence, the new area of the rectangle is,
Area = 3l × 3b
We get,
Area = 9 × l × b
Therefore, the new area will be 9 times than the original area of the rectangle
11. Length of a rectangle is 30 m and its breadth is 20 m. Find the increase in its area if its length is increased by 10 m and its breadth is doubled.
Solution:
Given
The length of a rectangle = 30 m
The breadth of rectangle = 20 m
The area of the rectangle can be calculated as follows:
Area = length × breadth
= 30 m × 20 m
= 600 m2
Also, given that the length is increased by 10 m and its breadth is doubled
Hence, the new length and breadth is as follows:
New length = 30 m + 10 m
= 40 m
New breadth = 20 m × 2
= 40 m
Therefore, the new area of the rectangle is,
Area = 40 m × 40 m
= 1600 m2
Increase in area = 1600 m2 – 600 m2
Increase in area = 1000 m2
Therefore, the increase in area = 1000 m2
12. The side of a square field is 16 m. What will be increase in its area, if:
(i) each of its sides is increased by 4 m
(ii) each of its sides is doubled
Solution:
Given
Side of the square field = 16 m
Hence, area of square field can be calculated as follows:
Area = (side)2
= (16 m)2
= 16 m × 16 m
We get,
= 256 m2
(i) Since the side is increased by 4 m, then the length of new side will be
= 16 + 4
= 20 m
Hence, the new area of square can be calculated as follows:
Area = (side)2
Area = (20 m)2
= 20 m × 20 m
We get,
= 400 m2
Increase in the area of the square field will be = 400 m2 – 256 m2
= 144 m2
Hence, the increase in the area of the square field = 144 m2
(ii) Given
Each side of its length is doubled
Hence, the new side will be = 16 m × 2
= 32 m
The area of square can be calculated as follows:
Area = (side)2
Area = (32)2
= 32 m × 32 m
We get,
= 1024 m2
Thus, the increase in area of the square field will be = 1024 m2 – 256 m2
= 768 m2
Therefore, the increase in the area of the square field = 768 m2
13. Each rectangular tile is 40 cm long and 30 cm wide. How many tiles will be required to cover the floor of a room with length = 4.8 m and breadth = 2.4 m
Solution:
Given
Length of the rectangular tile = 40 cm
Breadth of the rectangular tile = 30 cm
Length of the floor = 4.8 m
Breadth of the floor = 2.4 m
We know that,
100 cm = 1 m
Hence,
Length = 40 cm
= 40 / 100 m
We get,
= 0.4 m
Breadth = 30 cm
= 30 / 100 cm
We get,
= 0.3 m
The area of rectangular tile is calculated as,
Area = Length × Breadth
Area = 0.4 m × 0.3 m
We get,
= 0.12 m2
The area of the floor is calculated as,
Area = Length × Breadth
Area = 4.8 m × 2.4 m
We get,
= 11.52 m2
Total number of tiles required = (Area of the floor) / (Area of each tile)
= 11.52 m2 / 0.12 m2
We get,
= 96
Therefore, total number of tiles required to cover the floor = 96
14. Each side of a square tile is 60 cm. How many tiles will be required to cover the floor of a hall with length = 50 m and breadth = 36 m.
Solution:
Given
The length of the each side of square = 60 cm
Length of the floor = 50 m
Breadth of the floor = 36 m
We know that,
100 cm = 1 m
side = 60 cm
= 60 / 100 m
We get,
= 0.6 m
Hence, the area of the square tile is calculated as follows:
Area = (side)2
= (0.6 m)2
= 0.6 m × 0.6 m
We get,
= 0.36 m2
The area of the floor is calculated as follows:
Area = Length × Breadth
Area = 50 m × 36 m
We get,
= 1800 m2
Hence, number of tiles required = (Area of the floor) / (Area of each tile)
= 1800 m2 / 0.36 m2
We get,
= 5000
Therefore, the number of tiles required to cover the floor = 5000

Solution:
Given
The perimeter of square plot = 360 m
Hence,
Side of square plot = Perimeter / 4
= 360 m / 4
We get,
= 90 m
Therefore, the side of square plot = 90 m
(i) Area of square plot can be calculated as follows:
Area = (side)2
= (90 m)2
= 90 m × 90 m
We get,
= 8100 m2
Therefore, the area of the square plot = 8100 m2
(ii) Given
Cost of fencing = Rs 40 per meter
Cost of fencing can be calculated as follows:
Cost = Perimeter × Rate
= 360 m × 40
We get,
= Rs 14400
Therefore, cost of fencing = Rs 14400
(iii) Given
The cost of leveling = Rs 60 per square meter
Cost of leveling can be calculated as follows:
Cost = Area × Rate
= 8100 m2 × 60
We get,
= Rs 486000
Therefore, the cost of leveling the plot = Rs 486000
