Solution:
A pythagorean triplet is possible if (greatest number)2 = (sum of the two smaller numbers)

(i) 8, 15, 17
Here, greatest number =17
∴ (17)2 = 289
and (8)2 + (15)2 = 64 + 225 = 289
∴ 82 + 152 = 172
∴ 8, 15, 17 is a pythagorean triplet

(ii) 18, 80, 82
Greatest number = 82
∴ (82)2 = 6724
and 182 + 802 = 324 + 6400 = 6724
∴ 182 + 802 = 822
∴ 18, 80, 82 is a pythagorean

(iii) 14, 48, 51
Greatest number = 51
∴ (51)2 = 2601
and 142 + 482 = 196 + 2304 = 25 00
∴ 512≠ 142 + 482
∴ 14, 48, 51 is not a pythagorean triplet

(iv) 10, 24, 26
Greatest number is 26
∴ 262 = 676
and 102 + 242 = 100 + 576 = 676
∴ 262 = 102 + 242
∴ 10, 24, 26 is a pythagorean triplet

(vi) 16, 63, 65
Greatest number = 65
∴ 652 = 4225
and 162 + 632 = 256 + 3969 = 4225
∴ 652 = 162 + 632
∴ 16, 63, 65 is a pythagorean triplet

(vii) 12, 35, 38
Greatest number = 38
∴ 382 = 1444
and 122 + 352 = 144 + 1225 = 1369
∴ 382 ≠122 + 352
∴ 12, 35, 38 is not a pythagorean triplet.

Find the perimeter of a rectangle in which:
(i) length = 16.8 cm and breadth = 6.2 cm
(ii) length = 2 m 25 cm and breadth = 1 m 50 cm
(iii) length = 8 m 5 dm and breadth = 6 m 8 dm

ANSWER:

We know: Perimeter of a rectangle = 2×(Length+Breadth)2×(Length+Breadth)

(i) Length = 16.8 cm
    Breadth = 6.2 cm
    Perimeter = 2×(Length+Breadth)2×(Length+Breadth)
                   = 2×(16.8+6.2) =46 cm2×(16.8+6.2) =46 cm
(ii) Length = 2 m 25 cm
                  =(200+25) cm       (1 m = 100 cm )
                  = 225 cm  
    Breadth =1 m 50 cm
                  = (100+50) cm      (1 m = 100 cm )
                  = 150 cm    
    Perimeter = 2×(Length+Breadth)2×(Length+Breadth)
                     = 2×(225+150) =750 cm2×(225+150) =750 cm
(iii) Length = 8 m 5 dm
                   = (80+5) dm   (1 m = 10 dm )
                   = 85 dm     
       Breadth = 6 m 8 dm
                     = (60+8) dm   (1 m = 10 dm )
                     = 68 dm  
    Perimeter = 2×(Length+Breadth)2×(Length+Breadth)
                   = 2×(85+68) =306 dm2×(85+68) =306 dm

Question 2:

Find the cost of fencing a rectangular field 62 m long and 33 m wide at Rs 16 per metre.

ANSWER:

Length of the field = 62 m
Breadth of the field = 33 m
Perimeter of the field = 2(l + b) units
                                = 2(62 + 33) m =190 m
Cost of fencing per metre = Rs 16
Total cost of fencing = Rs (16××190) = Rs 3040

Question 3:

The length and the breadth of a rectangular field are in the ratio 5 : 3. If its perimeter is 128 m, find the dimensions of the field.

ANSWER:

Let the length of the rectangle be 5x m.
Breadth of the rectangle = 3x m
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(b)
                                    = 2(5x + 3x) m
                                    = (16x) m
It is given that the perimeter of the field is 128 m.

∴16x=128⇒x=12816=8∴Length =(5×8)=40mBreadth =(3×8)=24m∴16x=128⇒x=12816=8∴Length =(5×8)=40mBreadth =(3×8)=24m

Question 4:

The cost of fencing a rectangular field at Rs 18 per metre is Rs 1980. If the width of the field is 23 m, find its length.

ANSWER:

Total cost of fencing = Rs 1980
Rate of fencing = Rs 18 per metre

Perimeter of the field = Total costRate=Rs 1980Rs 18/m=(198018) m=110 mTotal costRate=Rs 1980Rs 18/m=(198018) m=110 m

Let the length of the field be x metre.
Perimeter of the field = 2(+ 23) m

∴2(x+23)=110⇒(x+23)=55x=(55−23)=32∴2(x+23)=110⇒(x+23)=55x=(55-23)=32
Hence, the length of the field is 32 m.

Let the length and the breadth of the rectangular field be 7x and 4x, respectively.
Perimeter of the field = 2(7x + 4x) = 22x

It is given that the perimeter of the field is 132 m.

∴ 22x=132⇒x=13222=6∴Length of the field =(7 × 6) m=42 mBreadth of the field =(4 × 6) m=24 m∴ 22x=132⇒x=13222=6∴Length of the field =(7 × 6) m=42 mBreadth of the field =(4 × 6) m=24 m

(iii) Side of the square = 2 m 5 dm
                                     = (20+5) dm   (1 m = 10 dm)
                                     = 25 dm
      Perimeter of the square = (4××side)
                                       = (4××25) = 100 dm

Total cost of fencing = Rs 4480
Rate of fencing = Rs 35/m
Perimeter of the field = Total costRate=Rs 4480Rs 35/m=448035 m=128 mTotal costRate=Rs 4480Rs 35/m=448035 m=128 m

Let the length of each side of the field be x metres.
Perimeter = (4x) metres
∴4x=128⇒x=1284=32 ∴4x=128⇒x=1284=32 

Hence, the length of each side of the field is 32 m.

Question 8:

Each side of a square field measures 21 m. Adjacent to this field, there is a rectangular field having its sides in the ratio 4 : 3. If the perimeters of both the fields are equal, find the dimensions of the rectangular field.

ANSWER:

Side of the square field = 21m
Perimeter of the square field = (4××21) m
                                       = 84 m  

Let the length and the breadth of the rectangular field be 4x and 3xrespectively.
 Perimeter of the rectangular field = 2(4x + 3x) = 14x

 Perimeter of the rectangular field = Perimeter of the square field

∴14x=84 ⇒x=8414=6∴14x=84 ⇒x=8414=6
∴ Length of the rectangular field =(4 × 6) m=24 mBreadth of the rectangular field = (3 × 6) m=18 m∴ Length of the rectangular field =(4 × 6) m=24 mBreadth of the rectangular field = (3 × 6) m=18 m

ANSWER:

(i) Sides of the triangle are 7.8 cm, 6.5 cm and 5.9 cm. 
    Perimeter of the triangle = (First side + Second side + Third Side) cm
                                      = (7.8 + 6.5 + 5.9) cm
                                      = 20.2 cm

(ii) In an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal.
     Length of each side of the triangle = 9.4 cm
     ∴∴ Perimeter of the triangle = (3 ×× Side) cm
                                            = (3 ×× 9.4) cm
                                            = 28.2 cm

(iii) Length of two equal sides = 8.5 cm
       Length of the third side = 7 cm
    ∴∴ Perimeter of the triangle = {(2 ×× Equal sides) + Third side} cm

ANSWER:

Length of the room = 13 m
Breadth of the room = 9 m
Area of the room = (13××9) m2 = 117 m2

Let length of required carpet be x m.
Breadth of the carpet = 75 cm
                            = 0.75 m         (100 cm = 1 m)
Area of the carpet = (0.75××x) m2
                       = 0.75x m2
For carpeting the room:
Area covered by the carpet = Area of the room
     ⇒0.75x=117⇒x=1170.75⇒x=117×43⇒x=156 m⇒0.75x=117⇒x=1170.75⇒x=117×43⇒x=156 m

The area of a rectangle is 240 m2 and its length is 16 m. Then, its breadth is
(a) 15 m
(b) 16 m
(c) 30 m
(d) 40 m

ANSWER:

(a) 15 m

Let the breadth of the rectangle be x m.
Length of the rectangle = 16 m
Area of rectangle = (Length × Breadth) = (16 × x) m2
It is given that the area of the rectangle is 240 m2.
⇒ 16 × x = 240
⇒ x = 24016=1524016=15
So, the breadth of the rectangle is 15 m.

Question 13:

The area of a square is 256 cm2. The perimeter of the square is
(a) 16 cm
(b) 32 cm
(c) 48 cm
(d) 64 cm

ANSWER:

(a) 16 cm
Let one side of the square be x cm.
Area of the square = (Side )2 cm2 = x2 cm2
It is given that the area of the square is 256 cm2.
⇒ x2 = 256
⇒ = 256−−−√=±16256=±16
We know that the side of a square cannot be negative.
So, we will neglect −16.
Therefore, the side of the square is 16 cm.

Perimeter of the square = (4×side)=(4×16)cm=64 cm4×side=4×16cm=64 cm

Question 14:

The area of a rectangle is 126 m2 and its length is 12 m. The breadth of the rectangle is
(a) 10 m
(b) 10.5 m
(c) 11 m
(d) 11.5 m

ANSWER:

(b) 10.5 m
Let the breadth of the rectangle be x m.
Length of the rectangle = 12 m
Area of the rectangle = 126 m2
Area of the rectangle = (length×breadth)sq units=(12×x)m2=12x m2length×breadthsq units=(12×x)m2=12x m2
It is given that the area of the rectangle is 126 m2.
⇒12x=126⇒x=12612=10.5So, the breadth of the rectangle is 10.5 m.⇒12x=126⇒x=12612=10.5So, the breadth of the rectangle is 10.5 m.
