(a) 30 cm2 (b) 36 cm2 (c) 24 cm2 (d) 22 cm2

Solution:-

(c) 24 cm2

First we have to calculate the area of rectangular piece = length × breadth

= 2 cm × 3 cm

= 6 cm2

So, area of sheet of paper of dimensions 6 cm × 5 cm

= 30 cm2

Then, Area of remaining sheet of paper is = 30 cm – 6 cm

= 24 cm2

3. 36 unit squares are joined to form a rectangle with the least perimeter. The perimeter of the rectangle is

(a) 12 units (b) 26 units (c) 24 units (d) 36 units

Solution:-

(b) 26 units

From the question, it is given that, the area of rectangle = 36 units2

36 can be written as = 6 × 6

= (2 × 3) × (2 × 3)

= 22 × 32

= 4 × 9

Then, the sides of the rectangle are 4 cm and 9 cm.

We know that, perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)

= 2 (4 + 9)

= 2 (13)

= 26 units

4. A wire is bent to form a square of side 22 cm. If the wire is rebent to form a circle, its radius is

(a) 22 cm (b) 14 cm (c) 11 cm (d) 7 cm

Solution:-

(b) 14 cm

From the question it is given that, side of square is 22 cm.

And also, perimeter of a square and circumference of circle are equal, because the length of the wire is same.

Perimeter of square = circumference of circle

4 × side = 2 × π × r

4 × 22 = 2 × (22/7) × r

r = (4 × 22 × 7)/(2 × 22)

r = 14 cm

Therefore, radius of circle is 14 cm.

5. Area of the circle obtained in Question 4 is

(a) 196 cm2 (b) 212 cm2 (c) 616 cm2 (d) 644 cm2

Solution:-

(c) 616 cm2

We know that, area of circle = πr2

= (22/7) × 14 × 14

= 22 × 14 × 2

= 616 cm2

6. Area of a rectangle and the area of a circle are equal. If the dimensions of the rectangle are 14cm × 11 cm, then radius of the circle is

(a) 21 cm (b) 10.5 cm (c) 14 cm (d) 7 cm.

Solution:-

(d) 7 cm

From the question it is given that, dimensions of rectangle length = 14 cm, breadth = 11 cm

As area of rectangle = area of circle

length × breadth = πr2

14 × 11 = (22/7) × r2

r2 = (14 × 11 × 7)/22

r2 = 49

r = √49

r = 7 cm

7. Area of shaded portion in Fig. 9.15 is

(a) 25 cm2 (b) 15 cm2 (c) 14 cm2 (d) 10 cm2

NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Perimeter and Area Image 3

(d) 10 cm2

From the figure, length of rectangle = 5 cm and,

breadth of the rectangle = 3 cm + 1 cm = 4 cm

So, area of rectangle = length × breadth

= 5 × 4

= 20 cm2

By observing the figure, the shaded part covered exactly half of the rectangle,

Therefore, area of shaded part is = area of rectangle/2

= 20/2

= 10 cm2

= ½ × NO × OQ

10. Ratio of area of ∆MNO to the area of parallelogram MNOP in the same figure 9.17 is (a) 2 : 3 (b) 1 : 1 (c) 1 : 2 (d) 2 : 1

NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Perimeter and Area Image 6

Solution:-

(c) 1 : 2

From the figure,

Area of ∆MNO = ½ × base × height

= ½ × NO × OQ

Area of parallelogram MNOP = base × corresponding height

= MP × OQ

= NO × OQ … [from the figure MP = NO]

Then, ratio of parallelogram and triangle = (½ × NO × OQ)/(NO × OQ)

= ½

= 1: 2

11. Ratio of areas of ∆MNO, ∆MOP and ∆MPQ in Fig. 9.18 is

(a) 2 : 1 : 3 (b) 1 : 3 : 2 (c) 2 : 3 : 1 (d) 1 : 2 : 3

NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Perimeter and Area Image 7

Solution:-

We know that, area of triangle = ½ × base × height

So, area of triangle MNO = ½ × NO × MO

= ½ × 5 × 4

= ½ × 20

= 10 cm2

Area of triangle MOP = ½ × MO × OP

= ½ × 5 × 2

= ½ × 10

= 5 cm2

Area of triangle MPQ = ½ × MO × PQ [MP = MO]

= ½ × 5 × 6

= ½ × 30

= 15 cm2

So, the ratios of area = 10: 5: 15 … [divide each by 5]

Then we get, 2: 1: 3

12. In Fig. 9.19, EFGH is a parallelogram, altitudes FK and FI are 8 cm and 4cm, respectively. If EF = 10 cm, then area of EFGH is

We know that, area of parallelogram EFGH = Base × corresponding height

= 10 × 4

= 40 cm2

13. In reference to a circle the value of π is equal to

(a) area/circumference (b) area/diameter

(c) circumference/diameter (d) circumference/radius

Solution:-

NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Perimeter and Area Image 9

Solution:-

(a) 20 cm

We know that, area of triangle = ½ × base × height

From the question, it is given that, area of triangle PQR = 100 cm2

Height of the triangle = 10 cm = altitude

Therefore, area of triangle = ½ × base × height

100 = ½ × PR × 10

PR = (100 × 2)/10

PR = 200/10

PR = 20 cm

16. In Fig. 9.21, if PR = 12 cm, QR = 6 cm and PL = 8 cm, then QM is

(a) 6 cm (b) 9 cm (c) 4 cm (d) 2 cm

NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Maths Solutions Chapter 9 Perimeter and Area Image 10

Solution:-

(c) 4 cm

From the question it is given that, PR = 12 cm, QR = 6 cm, PL = 8 cm

We know that, by the Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse2 = perpendicular2 + base2

In the given figure,

PR2 = PL2 + LR2

LR2 = PR2 – PL2

LR2 = 122 – 82

LR2 = 144 – 64

LR2 = 80

By transferring the square it becomes,

LR = √80

Therefore, LR = 4√5

Then,

LR = LQ + QR

LQ = LR – QR

LQ = 4√5 – 6

We know that, area of triangle PLR = ½ × LR × PL

= ½ × 4√5 × 8

= 1× 4√5 × 4

= 16√5

Now, area of triangle PLQ = ½ × LQ × PL

= ½ × (4√5 – 6) × 8

= 4(4√5 – 6)

= 16√5 – 24 cm2

So, Area of PLR = Area of PLQ + Area of PQR

16√5 = (16√5 – 24) + Area of PQR

Therefore, Area of PQR = 24 cm2

½ × PR × QM = 24

½ × 12 × QM = 24

6 × QM = 24

QM = 24/6

QM = 4 cm

From the question it is given that,

∆ MNO is a right-angled triangle, its legs are 6 cm and 8 cm long.

By the rule of Pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse2 = perpendicular2 + base2

In the given figure,

MO2 = MN2 + NO2

MO2 = 62 + 82

MO2 = 36 + 64

MO2 = 100

MO = √100

MO = 10 cm

Then, consider the triangle MNO,

Area of triangle MNO = ½ × MN × NO = ½ × MO × NP

= ½ × 6 × 8 = ½ × 10 × NP

Therefore, NP = 24/5

NP = 4.8 cm

18. Area of a right-angled triangle is 30 cm2. If its smallest side is 5 cm, then its hypotenuse is

(a) 14 cm (b) 13 cm (c) 12 cm (d) 11cm

(b) 13 cm

We know that, area of triangle = ½ × base (small side) × height

30 = ½ × 5 cm × height

Height = (30 × 2)/5

Height = 60/5

Height = 12 cm

By the rule of the Pythagoras theorem,

Hypotenuse2 = height2 + base2

Hypotenuse2 = 122 + 52

Hypotenuse2 = 144 + 25

Hypotenuse2 = 169

Hypotenuse = √169

Hypotenuse = 13 cm

19. Circumference of a circle of diameter 5 cm is

We know that, 1 m = 100 cm

1 cm = 10 mm

So, 1 m = 10 × 100

1 m = 1000 mm

Then, 1 m2 = 1000 × 1000

1 m2 = 1000000

26. If p squares of each side 1 mm makes a square of side 1cm, then p is equal to

(a) 10 (b) 100 (c) 1000 (d) 10000

From the question, it is given that, if p squares of each side 1mm makes a square of side 1cm.

We know that, area of square of side 1mm = side × side

= 1 × 1

= 1 mm2

Then, area of square of side 1cm = side × side

= 1 × 1

= 1 cm2

So, area of square of side 1mm = area of square of side 1cm

P × 1 mm2 = 1 cm2

Pmm2 = (10mm)2

Therefore, Pmm2 = 100 mm2

27. 12 m2 is the area of

= 12 m2

28. If each side of a rhombus is doubled, how much will its area increase?

(a) 1.5 times (b) 2 times (c) 3 times (d) 4 times

Solution:-

(b) 2 times

Consider b as the side and h as the height of a rhombus.

Area of rhombus = b x h                 [Since, area of rhombus = base x corresponding height]

Here, if each side of rhombus is doubled, then the side of rhombus = 2b

Area of rhombus = 2b x h = 2(b x h) = 2 times of original

Hence, if each side of a rhombus is doubled, its area will be increased by 2 times.

202 = P2 + P2

202 = 2P2

400 = 2P2

P2 = 400/2

P2 = 200 cm2

Therefore, the area of the largest square that can be cut out of a circle of radius 10 cm is 200cm2.

Area of the side 6 m square = Area of side 1 cm square

(6m)2 = x(1cm)2

360000 cm2 = x cm2 … [because 1 m = 100 cm]

x = 360000cm2/1 cm2

x = 360000

56. 10 cm2 = m2.

Solution:-

10 cm2 = 0.001 m2.

We know that, 1 m = 100 cm

1 m2 = 10000 cm2

10 cm2 = 10/10000

= 0.001 m2

In Questions 57 to 72, state whether the statements are True or False.

Solution:-

True.

Perimeter of a closed figure is the distance around it while area is the measure of the part of plane or region enclosed by it.

Hence, perimeter of (ii) is greater than that of (i), but its area is smaller than that of (i).

58. In Fig. 9.27,

(a) area of (i) is the same as the area of (ii).

Solution:-

True.

By observing the figure, we can say that area of both figures are same, because number of blocks used in both figures are same.

(b) Perimeter of (ii) is the same as (i).

Solution:-

False.

By observing the figures, we can say that there are 2 new sides added in figure (ii).

Therefore, the perimeter of (ii) is not same as (i).

(c) If (ii) is divided into squares of unit length, then its area is 13 unit squares.

Solution:-

False.

We know that, area of square = side × side

Then area of 1 square = 1 × 1

= 1 unit squares

There are 12 squares in figure (ii).

Therefore, area of figure (ii) = 12 × 1 = 12 unit squares

(d) Perimeter of (ii) is 18 units.

Solution:-

True.

The perimeter refers to the total length of the sides or edges of a polygon.

59. If perimeter of two parallelograms are equal, then their areas are also equal.

Solution:-

False.

60. All congruent triangles are equal in area.

Solution:-

True.

We know that congruent triangles have equal sizes and shapes.

61. All parallelograms having equal areas have same perimeters.

Solution:-

False
