the length and breadth of a rectangle is 48 dm and 3.6 m. find the area and perimeter in cm.
Length:
1 dm =10 cm
48 dm = 10×48 = 480 cm
Breadth:
1 m= 100cm
3.6m= 100×3.6 = 360cm
area of a rectangle=l×b
480×360 = 172800cm^
perimeter of a rectangle
2(L+B)
2(480+360)
1680cm

Answer:
Find the perimeter of a rectangle whose length and width are 25 m and 15 m respectively.
Solution :
Length = l = 25 m and Width = w = 15 m
∴ P = 2 ( l + w )
⇒ = 2 ( 25 + 15 )
⇒ = 2 x 40
⇒ = 80 m
Perimeter = 80 m

2)How many rectangles can be drawn with 36 cm as the perimeter, given that the sides are positive integers in cm ?
Solution :
Perimeter = 36
⇒ 2 ( l + w ) = 36
⇒ l + w = 18
Since length and width are positive integers in centimeters. Therefore, possible dimensions are :
( 1, 17 )cm , ( 2, 16 ) cm , ( 3, 15 ) cm, (4 , 14) cm, ( 5,13) cm, ( 6, 12) cm , ( 7, 11) cm, ( 8, 10 ) cm, ( 9, 9) cm.
Hence, there are 9 rectangles.

4) The length of a rectangular field is twice its width. A man jogged around it 5 times and covered a distance of 3 km. What is the length of the field?
Solution :
In completing one round of the field distance covered is equal to the perimeter of the field.
∴ Distance covered in 5 rounds = 5 x Perimeter
= 5 x 2 ( l + w )
= 10 x ( l + w)
= 10 x ( 2w + w ) [ length = l = 2w ]
= 10 x 3w
= 30 w
But, the total distance covered is given = 3 km = 3000 m.
∴ 30 x w = 3000
⇒ w = 3000 / 30
⇒ w = 100 m
⇒ Length = 2 w = 2 x 100 = 200 m.
