Q)1. A thin wire 20 cm long is formed into a rectangle. If the width of this rectangle is 4 cm, what is its length?
Q)2. A square carromboard has a perimeter of 320 cm. How much is its area?
Answers
1)
Given :-
A thin wire 20 cm long is formed into a rectangle. If the width of this rectangle is 4 cm
To Find :-
Length
Solution :-
We know that
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
Let the length of wire be l
⇒ 20 = 2(l + 4)
⇒ 20/2 = l + 4
⇒ 10 = l + 4
⇒ 10 - 4 = l
⇒ 6 - l
Hence, Length of wire is 6 cm
2)
Given :-
A square carrom board has a perimeter of 320 cm
To Find :-
Area
Solution :-
We know that
Side of square = Perimeter/4
⇒ Side = 320/4
⇒ Side = 80 cm
Now
Area = (side)²
⇒ Area = (80)²
⇒ Area = 6400 cm²
1) A thin wire 20 cm long is formed into a rectangle. If the width of this rectangle is 4 cm, what is its length?
Perimeter = 20 cm
Width = 4 cm
We know, perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
Hence, 2 (length + breadth) = 20
Or, length + 4 = 20÷2 = 10
Or, length = 10 – 4 = 6 cm
A square carromboard has a perimeter of 320 cm. How much is its area?
Perimeter = 320 cm
We know, perimeter = 4 x Side Hence, 4 x Side = 320 cm Or, Side = 320 4 = 80 cm
Now, area = Side x Side
= 80 x 80 = 6400 square cm
