Exercise 20A page: 220

1. The length and the breadth of a rectangular plot are 135 m and 65 m. Find, its perimeter and the cost of fencing it at the rate of ₹ 60 per m.

Solution:

It is given that

Length of a rectangular plot = 135 m

Breadth of a rectangular plot = 65 m

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 20 Image 1

We know that

Perimeter of a rectangular plot = 2 (length + breadth)

Substituting the values

= 2 (135 + 65)

= 2 (200)

= 400 m

Here the cost of fencing = ₹ 60 per m

So the cost of fencing 400 m = 60 × 400 = ₹ 24,000

2. The length and breadth of a rectangular field are in the ratio 7 : 4. If its perimeter is 440 m, find its length and breadth.

Also, find the cost of fencing it @ ₹150 per m.

Solution:

It is given that

Perimeter of rectangular field = 440 m

Consider 7x as the length and 4x as the breadth of rectangular field

So we get

2 (l + b) = Perimeter

Substituting the values

2 (7x + 4x) = 440

By further calculation

2 (11x) = 440

22x = 440

So we get

x = 440/22 = 11 m

Here

Length = 7x = 7 × 11 = 77m

Breadth = 4x = 4 × 11 = 44m

We know that

Cost of fencing = ₹150 per m

So the cost of fencing 440 m = 150 × 440 = ₹ 66,000

3. The length of a rectangular field is 30 m and its diagonal is 34 m. Find the breadth of the field and its perimeter.

By further calculation

1156 = 900 + b2

So we get

b2 = 1156 – 900 = 256

b = √256 = 16 m

We know that

Perimeter = 2 (l + b)

Substituting the values

= 2 (30 + 16)

= 2 × 46

= 92 m

4. The diagonal of a square is 12 2 cm. Find its perimeter.

Solution:

It is given that

Diagonal of a square = 12 2 cm

We know that diagonal = side × √2

Here the side = 12 cm

So the perimeter = 4 × 12 = 48 cm

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 20 Image 3

Consider the breadth of a rectangle = b m

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Substituting the values

252 = 242 + b2

625 = 576 + b2

By further calculation

b2 = 625 – 576 = 49

b = √49 = 7 cm

Here the perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b)

Substituting the values

= 2 (24 + 7)

So we get

= 2 (31)

= 62 cm

Solution:

It is given that

Length and breadth of rectangular piece of land are in the ratio = 5 : 3

Cost of fencing = ₹19,200

Rate = ₹48 per metre

We know that

Perimeter of rectangular piece of land = 19,200/48 = 400 m

Consider length = 5x

Breadth = 3x

So the perimeter = 2 (l + b)

Substituting the values

400 = 2 (5x + 3x)

By further calculation

400 = 2 (8x)

400 = 16x

So we get

x = 400/16 = 25

Length = 5x = 5 × 25 = 125 m

Breadth = 3x = 3 × 25 = 75 m

8. A wire is in the shape of square of side 20 cm. If the wire is bent into a rectangle of length 24 cm, find its breadth.

Solution:

It is given that

Side of square = 20 cm

So the perimeter of square = 4 × 20 = 80 cm

Perimeter of rectangle = 80 cm

We know that

Length of rectangle = 24 cm

So the perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b)

Substituting the values

80 = 2 (24 + b)

By further calculation

40 = 24 + b

b = 40 – 24 = 16 m

(i) P, if l = 38 cm and b = 27 cm

(ii) b, if P = 88 cm and l = 24 cm

(iii) l, if P = 96 m and b = 28 m

Solution:

(i) It is given that

l = 38 cm

b = 27 cm

We know that

Perimeter = 2 (l + b)

Substituting the values

= 2 (38 + 27)

= 2 (65)

= 130 cm

(ii) It is given that

P = 88 cm

l = 24 cm

Consider b as the breadth

We know that

P = 2 (l + b)

It can be written as

b = P/2 – l

Substituting the values

b = 88/2 – 24

b = 44 – 24

b = 20 cm

(iii) It is given that

P = 96 m

B = 28 m

Consider l as the length

We know that

P = 2 (l + b)

It can be written as

l = P/2 – b

Substituting the values

l = 96/2 – 28

l = 48 – 42

l = 20 m

10. The cost of fencing a square field at the rate of ₹75 per meter is ₹67,500. Find the perimeter and the side of the square field.

Solution:

Cost of fencing = ₹67,500

So the length of fence = 67,500/75 = 900 m

We know that the perimeter of square field = length of fence = 900 m

Here

Perimeter of a square = 4 × Length of its side

Substituting the values

Length of the side of a square = Perimeter/ 4

So we get

= 900/4

= 225 m

11. The length and the breadth of a rectangle are 36 cm and 28 cm. If its perimeter is equal to the perimeter of a square, find the side of the square.

Solution:

It is given that

Length of a rectangle = 36 cm

Breadth of a rectangle = 28 cm

We know that

Substituting the values

= 2 (36 + 28)

= 2 (64)

= 128 cm

It is given that

Perimeter of a square = Perimeter of a rectangle = 128 cm

So the side of square = perimeter/4

Substituting the value

= 128/ 4

= 32 cm

12. The radius of a circle is 21 cm. Find the circumference (Take π = 3 1/7).

Solution:

It is given that

Radius of a circle = 21 cm

We know that π = 22/7

So the circumference of a circle = 2 πr

Substituting the values

= 2 × 22/7 × 21

So we get

= 2 × 22 × 3

= 132 cm

13. The circumference of a circle is 440 cm. Find its radius and diameter. (Take π = 22/7).

Solution:

It is given that

Circumference of a circle = 440 cm

So the radius = C/ 2π

Substituting the values

= (440 × 7)/ (2 × 22)

So we get

= 3088/44

= 70 cm

Diameter of the circle = 2 × radius

So we get

= 2 × 70

= 140 cm

14. The diameter of a circular field is 56 m. Find its circumference and cost of fencing it at the rate of ₹80 per m. (Take π = 22/7).

Solution:

It is given that

Diameter of a circular field = 56 m

So the radius = 56/2 = 28 m

We know that

Circumference of the circle = 2 πr

Substituting the values

= 2 × 22/7 × 28

So we get

= 2 × 22 × 4

= 176 m

Here the cost of fencing 176 m = 176 × 80 = ₹ 14,080

15. The radii of two circles are 20 cm and 13 cm. Find the difference between their circumferences. (Take π = 22/7).

Solution:

It is given that

Radius of first circle = 20 cm

We know that

Circumference of the circle = 2 πr

Substituting the values

= 2 × 22/7 × 20

So we get

= 880/7

= 122.8 cm

Similarly

Radius of the second circle = 13 cm

We know that

Circumference of the circle = 2 πr

Substituting the values

= 2 × 22/7 × 13

So we get

= 572/7

= 81.7

So the difference of circumference of two circles = 122.8 – 81.7 = 41.1 cm

Ratio in the sides of a rectangular park = 4 : 3

Area = 1728 m2

Consider 4x as the length and 3x as the breadth

We know that

Area = l × b

Substituting the values

1728 = 4x × 3x

By further calculation

12x2 = 1728

x2= 1728/12 = 144

x = √144 = 12

Here we get

Length = 4x = 4 × 12 = 48 m

Breadth = 3x = 3 × 12 = 36 m

(i) We know that

Perimeter = 2 (l + b)

Substituting the values

= 2 (48 + 36)

So we get

= 2 (84)

= 168 m

So the total cost of fencing = 168 × 40 = ₹ 6720

4. A floor is 40 m long and 15 m broad. It is covered with tiles, each measuring 60 cm by 50 cm. Find the number of tiles required to cover the floor.

Solution:

Given below are the dimensions of floor

Length = 40 m

Breadth = 15 m

We know that

Area = l × b = 40 × 15 = 600 m2

Here the length of one tile = 60 cm = 6/10 m

Breadth of one tile = 50 cm = 5/10 m

So the area of one tile = 6/10 × 5/10 = 30/100 = 3/10 m2

We know that

Number of tiles = total area of floor/ area of one tile

Substituting the values

= 600/ 3/10

= (600 × 10)/ 3

= 2000

Cost of fencing = ₹9600

Rate = ₹24 per meter

We know that

Perimeter = total cost of fencing/ rate per meter

Substituting the values

= 9600 /24

= 400 m

Consider 5x as the length and 3x as the breadth

Here perimeter = 2 (l + b)

Substituting the values

400 = 2 (5x + 3x)

By further calculation

400 = 2 (8x)

So we get

400 = 16x

x = 400/16 = 25

(i) Length of land = 5x = 5 × 25 = 125 m

Breadth of land = 3x = 3 × 25 = 75 m

(ii) Area = l × b

Substituting the values

= 125 × 75

= 9375 m2

Solution:

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 20 Image 6

It is given that

Area of the path = 165 m2

Width of the path = 2.5 m

Consider x m as the side of square lawn

So the outer side = x + 2 × 2.5

We get

Outer side = (x + 5) m

Here the area of path = (x + 5)2 – x2

Substituting the values

x2 + 10x + 25 – x2 = 165

By further calculation

10x = 165 – 25 = 140

So we get

x = 140/10 = 14 m

Here the side of lawn = 14 m

Area of the lawn = 142 = 196 m2

8. For each figure, given below, find the area of shaded region: (All measurements are in cm)

Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 20 Image 7

Solution:

(i) It is given that

Outer breadth = 16 cm

Outer area = l × b

Substituting the values

= 20 × 16

= 320 cm2

Similarly

Inner length = 15 cm

Inner breadth = 10 cm

So the inner area = l × b

Substituting the values

= 15 × 10

= 150 cm2

Here the area of shaded region = area of whole region – area of unshaded region

Substituting the values

= 320 – 150

= 170 cm2

(ii) It is given that

Outer length = 30 cm

Outer breadth = 20 cm

Outer area = l × b

Substituting the values

= 30 × 20

= 600 cm2

Similarly

Inner length = 12 cm

Inner breadth = 12 cm

So the inner area = l × b

Substituting the values

= 12 × 12

= 144 cm2

Here the area of shaded region = area of outer figure – area of inner figure

Substituting the values

= 600 – 144

= 456 cm2

(iii) Here the area shaded portion = area of outer region – area of unshaded region

Substituting the values

= 40 × 40 – 32 × 15

So we get

= 1600 – 480

= 1120 cm2

(iv) Here the area of shaded region = area of outer region – area of inner region

Substituting the values

= 40 × 40 – 15 × 15

So we get

= 1600 – 225

= 1375 cm2

(v) Area of shaded portion = 2 × 20 + 2 × 8 + 2 × (12 + 2)

By further calculation

= 40 + 16 + 28

= 84 cm2

Consider x as the height and 3x as the base of parallelogram

So we get

Area = base × height

Substituting the values

768 = 3x × x

By further calculation

768 = 3x2

x2 = 768/3 = 256 cm

x = √ 256 = 16 cm

Height = x = 16 cm

Base = 3x = 3 × 16 = 48 cm

11. Find the area of the rhombus, if its diagonals are 30 cm and 24 cm.

= ½ × d1 × d2

Substituting the values

= ½ × 30 × 24

= 15 × 24

= 360 cm2

Hence, the area of the rhombus is 360 cm2.

12. If the area of a rhombus is 112 cm2 and one of its diagonals is 14 cm, find its other diagonal.

Solution:

It is given that

Area of a rhombus = 112 cm2

One diagonal = 14 cm

Consider x cm as the second diagonal

We know that

Area = product of diagonal/2

Substituting the values

112 = (14 × x)/ 2

By further calculation

x = (112 × 2)/ 14

So we get

x = 224/14 = 16 cm

Hence, the other diagonal of the rhombus is 16 cm.

13. One side of a parallelogram is 18 cm and its area is 153 cm2. Find the distance of the given side from its opposite side.

= AB × DL

Substituting the values

= 15 × 6

= 90 cm2

Consider DM = x cm

Similarly

Area of parallelogram ABCD = BC × DM

Substituting the values

= 10 × x

= 10 x cm2

By equating both

10 x = 90

x = 90/10 = 9 cm

15. The area of a rhombus is 84 cm2 and its perimeter is 56 cm. Find its height.
