A square and a rectangular field with measurements as given in the figure have the same perimeter. Which field has a larger area?
Mrs. Kaushik has a square plot with the measurement as shown in the figure. She wants to construct a house in the middle of the plot. A garden is developed around the house. Find the total cost of developing a garden around the house at the rate of Rs 55 per m2.
The shape of a garden is rectangular in the middle and semi-circular at the ends as shown in the diagram. Find the area and the perimeter of this garden. [Length of rectangle is 20 - (3.5 + 3.5) meters.]
A flooring tile has the shape of a parallelogram whose base is 24 cm and the corresponding height is 10 cm. How many such tiles area required to cover a floor of area 1080 m2?
(If required you can split the tiles in whatever way want to fill up the corners.)
Area of a parallelograms = Base x Corresponding height
Area of a tile =
∴ Area of the floor = 1080 m2
Now, number of tiles =
=
= 45000 tiles
An ant is moving around a few food pieces of different shapes scattered on the floor. For which food-piece would the ant have to take a longer round? Remember, circumference of a circle can be obtained by using the expression where r is the radius of the circle.
