A nursery school play ground is 160 m long and 80 m wide. In it 80 m × 80 m is kept for swings and in the remaining portion, there is 1.5 m wide path parallel to its width and parallel to its remaining length as shown in Fig.. The remaining area is covered by grass. Find the area covered by grass. |
|
Answer» Area of school playground is 160 m × 80 m = 12800 m2 Area kept for swings = 80 m × 80 m = 6400 m2 Area of path parallel to the width of playground = 80 m × 1.5 m = 120 m2 Area of path parallel to the remaining length of playground = 80 m × 1.5 m = 120 m2. Area common to both paths = 1.5 m × 1.5 m = 2.25 m2. [since it is taken twice for measuerment it is to be subtracted from the area of paths] Total area covered by both the paths = (120 + 120 – 2.25) m2 = 237.75 m2. Area covered by grass = Area of school playground – (Area kept for swings + Area covered by paths) = 12800 m2 – [ 6400 + 237.75] m2 = (12800 – 6637.75) m2 = 6162.25 m2. |

A room is 9.68 m long and 6.2 m wide. Its floor is to be covered with rectangular tiles of size 22 cm by 10 cm. Find the total cost of the tiles at the rate of Rs 2.50 per tile. |
|
Answer» Given length of the floor of the room = 9.68 m Breadth of the floor of the room = 6.2 m We know that area of rectangle = length x breadth Area of the floor = 9.68 m x 6.2 m = 60.016 m2 Given that length of the tile = 22 cm Breadth of the tile = 10 cm Area of one tile = 22 cm x 10 cm = 220 cm2 = 0.022 m2 [Since 1 m2 = 10000 c m2] Thus, Number of tiles = 60.016 m2/0.022 m2 = 2728 We have cost of one tile = Rs. 2.50 Total cost = Number of tiles x Cost of one tile = (2728 x 2.50) = Rs. 6820 |

A corridor of a school is 8 m long and 6 m wide. It is to be covered with canvas sheets. If the available canvas sheets have the size 2 m x 1 m, find the cost of canvas sheets required to cover the corridor at the rate of Rs 8 per sheet. |
|
Answer» Given length of the corridor = 8 m Also breadth of the corridor = 6 m Area of the corridor of a school = Length x Breadth = (8 m x 6 m) = 48 m2 We have length of the canvas sheet = 2 m Breadth of the canvas sheet = 1 m Area of one canvas sheet = Length x Breadth = (2 m x 1 m) = 2 m2 Thus, Number of canvas sheets required to cover the corridor = 48/2 = 24 Given Cost of one canvas sheet = Rs. 8 Total cost of the canvas sheets = number of canvas sheet x cost of one canvas sheet = (24 x 8) = Rs. 192 |

A lane 180 m long and 5 m wide is to be paved with bricks of length 20 cm and breadth 15 cm. Find the cost of bricks that are required, at the rate of Rs 750 per thousand. |
|
Answer» Given that length of lane = 180 m Breadth of the lane = 5 m Area of a lane = Length x Breadth = 180 m x 5 m = 900 m2 Length of the brick = 20 cm Breadth of the brick = 15 cm Area of a brick = Length x Breadth = 20 cm x 15 cm = 300 cm2 = 0.03 m2 [Since 1 m2 = 10000 cm2] Required number of bricks = 900/0.03 = 30000 Cost of 1000 bricks = Rs. 750 Total cost of 30,000 bricks = 750×30,000/1000 = Rs. 22,500 |

||||||||||||||||||||
Answer»
(a) Area of the parallelogram = Base × height Base = 20 cm Area = 246 sq cm Height = ? 246 = 20 × h ∴ Height = \(\frac{246}{20} = 12.3cms\) Height = 12.3 cms (b) Height = 15 cm Area = 154.5 cm2 Base = ? Area of the parallelogram = Base × height 154.5 = B × 15 ∴ B = \(\frac{154.5}{15} = 10.3cms\) ∴ Base = 10.3 cms (c) Height = 8.4 cm Area = 48.72 cm2 Base = ? Area of the parallelogram = Base × height 48.72 = B × 8.4 ∴ B = \(\frac{48.72}{8.4} = 5.8cms\) ∴ Base = 5.8 cms d) Base = 15.6 cm Area = 16.38 sq cm Height = ? Area of the parallelogram = Base × height 16.38 = 15.6 × h ∴ height = \(\frac{16.38}{15.6} = 1.05cms\) ∴ Height = 1.05 cms |

The length and breadth of a playground are 62 m 60 cm and 25 m 40 cm respectively. Find the cost of turfing it at Rs 2.50 per square meter. How long will a man take to go three times round the field, if he walks at the rate of 2 meters per second? |
|
Answer» Given that length of playground = 62 m 60 cm = 62.6 m [Since 10 cm = 0.1 m] Breadth of a playground = 25 m 40 cm = 25.4 m Area of a playground = Length x Breadth = 62.6 m x 25.4 m = 1590.04 m2 Given rate of turfing = Rs. 2.50/ m2 Total cost of turfing = (1590.04 x 2.50) = Rs. 3975.10 Perimeter of a rectangular field = 2(Length + Breadth) = 2(62.6 + 25.4) = 176 m Distance covered by the man in 3 rounds of a field = 3 x Perimeter of a rectangular field = 3 x 176 m = 528 m The man walks at the rate of 2 m/sec. Speed of man walks = 2 x 60 m/min = 120 m/min Thus, required time to cover a distance of 528 m = 528/120 = 4.4 min = 4 minutes 24 seconds [Since 0.1 minutes = 6 seconds] |

Is there another way to find the area of the pathway ? |
|
Answer» Yes. The area of the pathway can be found by dividing it into rectangles and adding the areas of these rectangles. Length of rectangle 1 = 30 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 33 m Breadth of rectangle 1 = 1.5 m ∴ Area of rectangle 1 = 33 x 1.5 = 49.5 sq. m Area of rectangle 4 = Area of rectangle 1 = 49.5 sq. m. Length of rectangle 2 = 65 m breadth of rectangle 2 = 1.5 m ∴ Area of rectangle 2 = 65 x 1.5 = 97.5 sq. m. Area of rectangle 3 = area of rectangle 2 = 97.5 sq. m. ∴ Area of pathway = Sum of area of the 4 rectangles = 49.5 + 49.5 + 97.5 + 97.5 = 294 sq. m. |
