(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

Page No 222:

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

Page No 222:

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.

Rate of fencing = Rs 25/m
Perimeter of the field = Total cost Rate of fencing=(Rs 3300Rs 25/m)=330025 m=132 mTotal cost Rate of fencing=(Rs 3300Rs 25/m)=330025 m=132 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

    Perimeter of the square = (4××side)
                                    = (4××3.8) = 15.2 cm

(ii) Side of the square = 4.6 cm
     Perimeter of the square = (4××side)
                                     = (4××4.6) = 18.4 cm

(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

Question 7:

The cost of putting a fence around a square field at Rs 35 per metre is Rs 4480. Find the length of each side of the field.

ANSWER:

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.

Page No 222:

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

(iii) an isosceles triangle with equal sides 8.5 cm each and third side 7 cm.

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
                                           = {(2 ×× 8.5) + 7} 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

Question 13:

A marble tile measures 12 cm × 10 cm. How many tiles will be required to cover a wall of size 4 m by 3 m? Also, find the total cost of the tiles at Rs 22.50 per tile.

ANSWER:

Length of the wall = 4 m = 400 cm
Breadth of the wall = 3 m = 300 cm
Area of the wall = (400×300) cm2 = 120000 cm2

Length of the tile = 12 cm
Breadth of the tile = 10 cm
Area of one tile = (12×10) cm2 = (120) cm2

Number of tiles required to cover the wall=Area of the wallArea of one tile=120000120=1000 tilesNumber of tiles required to cover the wall=Area of the wallArea of one tile=120000120=1000 tiles
Cost of 1 tile = Rs 22.50
Cost of 1000 tiles = (1000 × 22.50) = Rs 22500

Thus, the total cost of the tiles is Rs 22500.

Question 14:

Find the perimeter of a rectangle whose area is 600 cm2 and breadth is 25 cm.

ANSWER:

Let the length of the rectangle be x cm.
Breadth of the rectangle is 25 cm.
Area of the rectangle = (Length × Breadth) cm2
                                   = (x×25) cm2
                                   =25x cm2

It is given that the area of the rectangle is 600 cm2.
⇒25x=600⇒x=60025=24⇒25x=600⇒x=60025=24
So, the length of the rectangle is 24 cm.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth) units

The measures of two angles of a triangle are 72° and 58°. 
Let the third angle be x
Now, the sum of the measures of all the angles of a triangle is 180o​.
 ∴∴    + 72+ 58o = 180o
    ⇒ x + 130= 180o                   
    ⇒ = 180o​ −- 130o
    ⇒ x = 50o
​The measure of the third angle of the triangle is 50o​.

Question 3:

The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 5. Find the measure of each of the angles.

ANSWER:

The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1:3:5. 
Let the measures of the angles of the triangle be (1x), (3x) and (5x)
Sum of the measures of the angles of the triangle = 180o
      ∴ 1x + 3x + 5x = 180o
        ⇒ 9x = 180o
        ⇒ x = 20o
 1x = 20o
3x = 60o
​5x = 100o
The measures of the angles are 20o, 60o and 100o

ANSWER:

In a right angle triangle, one of the angles is 90o.
It is given that one of the acute angled of the right angled triangle is 50o.
We know that the sum of the measures of all the angles of a triangle is 180o.
Now, let the third angle be x.
​Therefore, we have:
            90o​ + 50o + = 180o
   ⇒        140= 180o
​   ⇒                    x = 180o −- 140o

Question 5:

One of the angles of a triangle is 110° and the other two angles are equal. What is the measure of each of these equal angles?

ANSWER:



Given:
∠A = 110o and ​∠B = ∠C
Now, the sum of the measures of all the angles of a traingle is 180o .
              ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o
      ⇒    110o + ​∠B + ∠B = 180o
​      ⇒    110o  + 2​∠B = 180o
​       
⇒                2​∠B = 180−- 110o
       ⇒                2∠B =  70o
      ⇒                  ∠B = 70/ 2
      ⇒                  ∠B = 35o

      ∴ ​∠C = 35o
The measures of the three angles:
∠A = 110o, ∠B = 35o, ​∠C = 35o

Question 6:

If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of other two, show that the triangle is a right triangle.

ANSWER:

Given:
 ∠A = ∠B + ∠C
​We know:
       ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o
    ⇒ ∠B +∠C + ∠B + ∠C = 180o
​    ⇒ 2∠B + 2∠C = 180o
​    ⇒ 2(∠B +∠C) = 180o
​    ⇒ ∠B + ∠C = 180/2
    ⇒ ​∠B + ∠C = 90o
∴∴ ∠A = 90o
This shows that the triangle is a right angled triangle.

(v) each angle less than 60°?
(vi) each angle equal to 60°?

ANSWER:

(i) No
     If the two angles are 90o each, then the sum of two angles of a triangle will be 180o​, which is not possible.
(ii) No
      For example, let the two angles be 120o and 150o. Then, their sum will be 270o​, which cannot form a triangle.
(iii) Yes
       For example, let the two angles be 50o and 60o​, which on adding, gives 110o. They can easily form a triangle whose third angle is 180o −- 110o = 70o​.
(iv) No
      For example, let the two angles be 70o​ and 80o, which on adding, gives 150o. They cannot form a triangle whose third angle is 180o​ −- 150= 30o, which is less than 60o.
(v) No
      For example, let the two angles be 50o and 40o, which on adding, gives 90o . Thus, they cannot form a triangle whose third angle is 180o −- 90o = 90o​, which is greater than 60o.

(a) 60°
(b) 80°
(c) 76°
(d) 84°

ANSWER:

(b) 80o
Let the measures of the given angles be (2x)o, (3x)o​ and (4x)o.
∴∴ (2x)o + (3x)+ (4x)= 180o
  ⇒ (9x)= 180o
​  ⇒ x = 180 / 9
  ⇒ x = 20o
∴∴ ​2x =  40o, 3x = 60o, 4x = 80o

Hence, the measures of the angles of the triangle are 40o​, 60o, 80o.
Thus, the largest angle is 80o.

Question 4:

The two angles of a triangle are complementary. The third angle is
(a) 60°
(b) 45°
(c) 36°
(d) 90°

ANSWER:

Correct option: (d)
The measure of two angles are complimentary if their sum is 90o degrees. 
Let the two angles be x and y, such that x + y = 90o .
Let the third angle be z.
Now, we know that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180o​.
   x + y + z​ = 180o
 ⇒ 90o + z = 180o
 ⇒  = 180−- 90
        = 90o
​The third angle is 90o.

Question 5:

One of the base angles of an isosceles triangle is 70°. The vertical angle is
(a) 60°
(b) 80°
(c) 40°
(d) 35°

ANSWER:

Correct option: (c)
Let ∠A = 70o
The triangle is an isosceles triangle.
We know that the angles opposite to the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal.
∴∴ ​∠B = 70o
​We need to find the vertical angle ​∠C.
Now, sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180o.
    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o
⇒​ 70o + 70o​ + ∠C = 180o
⇒ 140+ ​∠C = 180o
⇒ ∠C = 180o −- 140o
⇒ ∠C = 40o

Question 7:

In an isosceles ∆ABC, the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at a point O. If ∠A = 40°, then ∠BOC =
?
(a) 110°
(b) 70°
(c) 130°
(d) 150°

ANSWER:


Correct option: (a)

In the isosceles ABC, ​the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at point O.
Since the triangle is isosceles, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.
∠B = ∠C
∴∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o
  ⇒  40o + 2∠B = 180o
  ⇒ 2∠B = 140o
  ⇒ ∠B = 70o
Bisectors of an angle divide the angle into two equal angles.
So, in  ∆BOC:
∠OBC = 35o and ∠OCB = 35o
∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180​o
  ⇒ ∠BOC + 35o + 35o = 180o
  ⇒ ∠BOC = 180o​ – 70o
  ⇒ ∠BOC = 110o

Question 8:

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 2 : 5 and its perimeter is 30 cm. The length of the longest side is
(a) 20 cm
(b) 15 cm
(c) 10 cm
(d) 12 cm

ANSWER:

Correct option: (b)
The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3:2:5.
Let the lengths of the sides of the triangle be (3x), (2x), (5x).
We know:
 Sum of the lengths of the sides of a triangle = Perimeter
   (3x) + (2x) + (5x) = 30
  ⇒ 10x = 30
  ⇒ x =  30 
            10
  ⇒ x = 3
First side = 3x = 9 cm
Second side = 2x = 6 cm
Third side = 5x = 15 cm
The length of the longest side is 15 cm.

Question 9:

Two angles of a triangle measure 30° and 25° respectively. The measure of the third angle is
(a) 35°
(b) 45°
(c) 65°
(d) 125°

ANSWER:

Correct option: (d)
Two angles of a triangle measure 30° and 25°, respectively.
  Let the third angle be x.
   x + 30o + 25o = 180o
​                    x = 180o −- 55o
                     x = 125o

Two sides of a parallelogram are in the ratio 4:3.
Let the two sides be 4x and 3x.
In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal and parallel. So, they are also in the ratio of 4:3, i.e. 4x and 3x.
Perimeter = 4x + 3x + 4x +3x 
           56 = 14x
             x = 56145614

ANSWER:

(c) 90°

The three angles of a quadrilateral are 80°, 70° and 120°.
Let the fourth angle be x.
We know that the sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
                  80° + 70°​ + 120° + x = 360°
​                         ⇒  270°​ + x = 360°
​                                 ⇒              x = 360° − 270°

(d) 102°

ANSWER:

Let the angles of a quadrilateral be (3x)°, (4x)°​, (5x)° and (6x)°.
Sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.

∴  3x + 4x + 5x + 6x = 360°
         ⇒              18x  = 360°
         ⇒                  x =  3601836018
          ⇒                x = 20°
So,
       3x = 60°
      4x =  80°
​      5x = 100°
​      6x = 120°
The largest of these angles is 120°​.
So, the correct answer is given in option (b).
