Though the first figure has the larger area, its perimeter is less than the second one.
⇒ Out of two figures if one has larger area, then its perimeter need not to be larger than the other figure.
A hedge boundary needs to be planted around a rectangular lawn of size 72 m × 18 m. If 3 shrubs can be planted in a metre of hedge, how many shrubs will be planted in all?
Given, length of the lawn = 72 m
Breadth of the lawn = 18 m
We know that, perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (l + b)
So, perimeter of the lawn = 2 × (72 + 18) = 2 × 90 = 180 m
i.e. Length of hedge boundary = 180 m
No. of shrubs to be planted in 1 m of hedge = 3
No. of shrubs to be planted in 18 0m of hedge = 3 × 180 = 540
People of Khejadli village take good care of plants, trees and animals. They say that plants and animals can survive without us, but we can not survive without them. Inspired by her elders Amrita marked some land for her pets (camel and ox) and plants. Find the ratio of the areas kept for animals and plants to the living area.
Using the formula: Area of a rectangle = l × b
Total area of land= 15 × 10=150 m2
Area kept for camel = 5 × 3 = 15 m2
Area kept for plants = 9 × 1 = 9 m2
Now, diameter of the circular field kept for ox = 2.8 m
Radius = =1.4 m
Using the formula: Area of a circle = ∏r2
Area kept for ox = × (1.4)2 = 6.16 m2
Area kept for animals = 15 + 9 + 6.16 = 30.16 m2
Living area = Total area of land – Area kept for animals = 150 – 30.16 = 119.84 m2
Ratio of the area kept for animals and plants to that of the living area = 377:1498
The perimeter of a rectangle is 40 m. Its length is four metres less than five times its breadth. Find the area of the rectangle.
Let breadth of the rectangle be x.
Then, length of the rectangle = 5x – 4
We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (l + b)
40 = 2 × (x + 5x - 4)
40 = 2 × (6x - 4)
12x - 8 = 40
12x = 48
x = = 4
So, breadth of the rectangle = x = 4 m
Length of the rectangle = 5x – 4 = 5 × 4 – 4 = 20 – 4 = 16 m
Area of rectangle = l × b = 16 × 4 = 64 m2
Hence, area of rectangle = 64 m2
A wall of a room is of dimensions 5 m × 4 m. It has a window of dimensions 1.5 m × 1m and a door of dimensions 2.25 m × 1m. Find the area of the wall which is to be painted.
Given, a wall of a room is of dimensions 1.5 m × 1m.
Area of the wall = l × b = 5 × 4 = 20 m2
Area of the window = l × b = 1.5 × 1 = 1.5 m2
Area of the door = l × b = 2.25 × 1 = 2.25 m2
Area of the wall to be painted = Area of the wall – (Area of the window + Area of the door)
∴ Area of the wall to be painted = 20 – (1.5 + 2.25) = 20 – 3.75 = 16.25m2
Area of the wall which is to be painted= 16.25 m2
Rectangle MNOP is made up of four congruent rectangles (Fig. 9.31). If the area of one of the rectangles is 8 m2 and breadth is 2 m, then find the perimeter of MNOP.
Area of one rectangle = 8 m2
And breadth = 2 m
We know that,
Area of a rectangle = l × b
⇒ l × 2 = 8
⇒ l = 4 m
MNOP is made up of 4 congruent rectangles, i.e. they have same dimensions (equal length and breadth).
∴ Perimeter of MNOP = PF + FA + AM + MN + NC + CD + DO + OP
= 2 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 4
= 24 m
The perimeter of MNOP = 24 m

We know that, area of a triangle = × b × h
and area of a parallelogram = b × h (corresponding height)
Given, Area of ∆AFB = Area of parallelogram ABCD
× AB × EF = DC × h
× 10 × 16 = 10 × h
10h = 80
h = 8 m
O is the mid point of DC, hence DO = × DC = × 10 = 5 m
Area of ∆DAO = × DO × h = × 5 × 8 = 20 m2

We know that, area of a triangle = × b × h
Given, Area of ∆WXZ = 56 cm2
× XZ × 8 = 56
XZ = = 14 cm
∵
4XY = 42 – 3XY
7XY = 42
XY = 6 cm
YZ = XZ – XY = 14 – 6 = 8 cm
So, XY = 6 cm and YZ = 8 cm

(i) Find the perimeter of the lawn.
(ii) Find the area of the square field excluding the lawn.
Given, side of the square = 70 m
Diameter of the semicircular lawn = side of the square = 70 m
∴ Radius = × 70 = 35 m
We know that circumference C of a circle of radius r, is C = 2πr
Perimeter of a semicircle = × 2πr + 2r = πr + 2r
i) So, perimeter of the lawn = × 35 + 2 × 35 = 110 + 70 = 180 m
ii) Area of square = (side)2 = (70)2 = 4900 m2
Area of semicircular lawn = × πr2 = × × (35)2 = 11 × 5 × 35 = 1925 m2
Area of the square field excluding the lawn = Area of square - Area of semicircular lawn
= 4900- 1925 = 2975 m2

Price of 1 cm2 of square pizza = = Rs. 13.5
Diameter of circular pizza = 50 cm
i.e. Radius = =25 cm
∴ Area of circular pizza = πr2 = × (25)2 =1964.28 cm2
Price of 1964.28 cm2 of square pizza = Rs. 160
Price of 1 cm2 of circular pizza = = Rs. 12.27
Since price of 1 cm2 of circular pizza is lesser, hence circular pizza is a better deal.

In Fig. 9.38, ABCD is a square with AB = 15 cm. Find the area of the square BDFE.
Given, side of square ABCD = 15cm
We know that diagonal of a square = √2 × side
∴ BD = √2 × 15 = 15√2 cm

∴ Area of square BDFE = (15√2)2 =15√2 × 15√2 = 450 cm2
In the given triangles of Fig. 9.39, perimeter of ∆ABC = perimeter of ∆PQR. Find the area of ∆ABC.
Given, perimeter of ∆ABC = perimeter of ∆PQR
AB + BC + CA = PQ + QR + RP
AB + 5 + 13 = 6 + 10 + 14
AB + 18 = 30
∴ AB = 30 – 18 = 12 cm
We know that, Area of triangle = × b × h
∴ Area of ∆ABC = × BC × AB = × 5 × 12 = 30 cm2
Altitudes MN and MO of parallelogram MGHK are 8 cm and 4 cm long respectively (Fig. 9.40). One side GH is 6 cm long. Find the perimeter of MGHK.
We know that, Area of a parallelogram = b × h (corresponding height)
Area of MGHK with GH as base = Area of MGHK with HK as base
GH × MN = HK × MO
6 × 8 = HK × 4
∴ HK = 12 cm
Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal to each other,
MK = GH = 6 cm
GM = HK = 8 cm
∴ Perimeter of parallelogram MGHK = GM + MK + KH + HG = 8 + 6 + 8 + 6 = 36 cm

∴ PQ = 8 cm
Area of ∆PQS = 44 cm2
× QS × PQ = 44
× QS × 8 = 44
∴ QS = 11 cm
RS = QS – QR = 11 – 5 = 6 cm
Length of RS = 6 cm

48 = × BC × 8
∴ BC = 12 cm
In an isosceles triangle, the altitude divides base into half.
So, DC = = 6 cm
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ∆ADC,
(AD)2 + (DC)2 = (AC)2
(8)2 + (6)2 = (AC)2
(AC)2 = 64 + 36 = 100
AC =√100 = 10 cm
Now, AB = AC = 10 cm
Perimeter of ∆ABC = 10 + 10 + 12 = 32 cm

AB = DC =18 m
Perimeter of parallelogram ABCD = AB + BC + CD + DA
96 = 18 + BC + 18 + BC
(opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
2 BC = 96 – 36 = 60
BC = AD = 30 m
Given, area of parallelogram ABCD = 270 m2
We know that,
Area of a parallelogram = b × h (corresponding height)
Taking AB as the base,
AB × l = 270
18 × l = 270
l = 15 m
Taking AD as the base,
AD × m = 270
30 × m = 270
m = 9 m
Length of the other side = 30 m
Length of altitude l = 15 m
Length of altitude m = 9 m
Area of a triangle PQR right-angled at Q is 60 cm2 (Fig. 9.43). If the smallest side is 8cm long, find the length of the other two sides.
Given, area of ∆PQR = 60 cm2 with PQ = 8 cm
We know that, Area of triangle = × b × h
Area of ∆PQR = 60 cm2
× PQ × QR = 60
× 8 × QR = 60
∴ QR = 15 cm
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ∆PQR,
(PQ)2 + (QR)2 = (PR)2
(8)2 + (15)2 = (PR)2
(PR)2 = 64 + 225 = 289
AC =√289 = 17 cm
Hence, the length of two sides are 15 cm and 17 cm.
In Fig. 9.44 a rectangle with perimeter 264 cm is divided into five congruent rectangles. Find the perimeter of one of the rectangles.
Since the rectangles are congruent, their length and breadth are equal.
Given, Perimeter of the rectangle = 264 cm
It can be observed from the figure that
4l + 5b = 264
And 2l = 3b
On solving the above equations:
11b = 264
⇒ b = 24 cm
∴ l = × 24 = 36 cm
Hence, perimeter of smaller rectangles = 2 × (l + b) = 2 × (36 + 24) = 120 cm

Find the area enclosed by each of the following figures :
We know that, area of rectangle = l × b
And area of semicircle = × ∏r2
Area of rectangle = 10.2 × 1.5 = 15.3 cm2
Now, Diameter of the semicircle = 10.2 – 3.9 = 6.3 cm
So, radius = = 3.15 cm
Area of semicircle = × × 3.15 × 3.15 = 15.5925 cm2
Total area = Area of rectangle + Area of semicircle = 15.3 + 15.5925 = 30.8925 cm2

∴ Total area = 55 cm2
Find the area enclosed by each of the following figures :
We know that, area of triangle = × b × h
And area of semicircle = × ∏r2
Radius of the semicircle = 10 cm
Area of semicircle = × × 10 × 10 = cm2 = 157.14 cm2
Base of triangle = diameter of the semicircle = 2 × 10 = 20 cm
Height of the triangle = 17 – r = 17 – 10 = 7 cm
Area of triangle = × 20 × 7 = 70 cm2
Total area = Area of semicircle + Area of triangle = 157.14 + 70 = 227.14 cm2
∴ Total area = 227.14 cm2

A table cover of dimensions 3 m 25 cm × 2 m 30 cm is spread on a table. If 30 cm of the table cover is hanging all around the table, find the area of the table cover which is hanging outside the top of the table. Also find the cost of polishing the table top at Rs. 16 per square metre.
Given, Length of the table cover = 3 m 25 cm = 3.25 m
and Breadth of the table cover = 2 m 30 cm = 2.3 m
Area of the table cover = 3.25 × 2.3 = 7.475 m2
The table cover hangs 30 cm around the table, and so:
Length of the table top = Length of the table cover – 30 cm= 3.25 m - 2 × 0.3 m= 2.65 m
Breadth of the table top = Breadth of the table cover – 30 cm = 2.3 m – 2 × 0.3 m = 1.7 m
Area of the table top = 2.65 × 1.7 = 4.505 m2
Area of the hanging cover = Area of the table cover - Area of the table top
= 7.475 – 4.505 = 2.97 m2
Cost of polishing 1 m2 of table top = Rs. 16
∴ Cost of polishing 4.505 m2 of table top = Rs. 4.505 × 16 = Rs. 72.08
Area of the hanging cover = 2.97 m2
Cost of polishing 4.505 m2 of table top = Rs. 4.505 × 16 = Rs. 72.08

Area of the plot = 200 × 150 = 30,000 m2
Area of roads = 3 × (200 × 3) = 1,800 m2
Area available for building the houses = Area of the plot - Area of roads
= 30,000 – 1,800 = 2,8200 m2
∴ Area available for building the houses = 2,8200 m2
A room is 4.5 m long and 4 m wide. The floor of the room is to be covered with tiles of size 15 cm by 10 cm. Find the cost of covering the floor with tiles at the rate of ₹ 4.50 per tile.
Area of the floor = 4.5 × 4 = 18 m2 = 18,0000 cm2 (1 m = 100 cm)
Area of one tile = 15 × 10= 150 cm2
Number of tiles required to cover the floor = = 1200
∴ Cost of covering the floor with tiles at the rate of Rs. 4.50 per tile = 4.5 × 1200 = Rs. 5400
Find the total cost of wooden fencing around a circular garden of diameter 28 m, if 1m of fencing costs ₹ 300.

Priyanka took a wire and bent it to form a circle of radius 14 cm. Then she bent it into a rectangle with one side 24 cm long. What is the length of the wire? Which figure encloses more area, the circle or the rectangle?
Given, radius of the circle = 14 cm
and length of the rectangle = 24 cm
Since the same wire is rebent to form different shapes,
Perimeter of rectangle = Circumference of circle
2 × (l + b) = 2∏r
2 × (24 + b) = 2 × × 14
24 + b = 44
⇒ b = 44 - 24 = 20 cm
Area of rectangle = l × b = 24 × 20 = 480 cm2
And area of circle = ∏r2 = × 14 × 14 = 616 cm2
Hence, circle encloses more area than the rectangle.

Given, circumference of outer circle = 44 m
2∏R = 44
2 × × R = 44
R = 7 m
R = R – 2 = 7 – 2 = 5 m
Inner circumference = 2 × 3.14 × 5 = 3.14 m
Area of the path = Area of outer circle - area of inner circle
=∏R2 - ∏r2 =∏(R2 - r2)
= 3.14 (72 – 52) = 3.14 × (49 – 25) = 3.14 × 24 = 75.36 m2
A carpet of size 5 m × 2 m has 25 cm wide red border. The inner part of the carpet is blue in color (Fig. 9.56). Find the area of blue portion. What is the ratio of areas of red portion to blue portion?
Length of the carpet = 5 m
Breadth of the carpet = 2m
∴ Area of the carpet =5 × 2 = 10 m2
Length of border = 25 cm = 0.25 m
Length of inner blue portion = Length of the carpet - 2 × length of border = 5 - 2 × 0.25 = 4.5 m
Breadth of inner blue portion = Breadth of the carpet - 2 × breadth of border = 2 - 2 × 0.25 = 1.5 m
Area of blue portion = 4.5 × 1.5 = 6.75 m2
Area of red portion = Area of the carpet - Area of blue portion= 10 – 6.75 = 3.25 m2
Ratio of areas of red portion to that of blue portion = 13:27
Use the Fig. 9.57 showing the layout of a farm house:
A. What is the area of land used to grow hay?
B. It costs ₹ 91 per m2 to fertilise the vegetable garden. What is the total cost?
C. A fence is to be enclosed around the house. The dimensions of the house are 18.7 m × 12.6 m. At least how many metres of fencing are needed?
D. Each banana tree required 1.25 m2 of ground space. How many banana trees can there be in the orchard?
A. Area of land used to grow hay = 17.8 × 10.6 = 188.68 m2
B. Area of vegetable garden = 49 × 15.2 = 744.8 m2
Cost of fertilizing 1 m2 of vegetable garden = Rs. 91
∴ Cost of fertilizing 744.8 m2 of vegetable garden = 91 × 744.8 = Rs. 67,776.8
C. Perimeter of the house = 2 × (l + b) = 2 × (18.7 + 12.6) = 2 × 31.3 = 62.6 m
D. Area of the orchard = 20 × 15.7 = 314 m2
No. of banana trees that can be planted in 1.25 m2 of ground space =1
Hence, No. of banana trees that can be planted in 314 m2 of ground space = = 251.25
i.e. ,251 banana trees can be planted in the orchard.

Area of 4 such triangles = 4 × 150 = 600 cm2
Since the triangles are congruent, it can be concluded that the side of the square = 10 + 30 = 40 cm
Area of square = 402 = 1600 cm2
Area of shaded portion = 1600 – 600 = 1000 cm2
A square tile of length 20 cm has four quarter circles at each corner as shown in Fig. 9.64(i). Find the area of shaded portion. Another tile with same dimensions has a circle in the centre of the tile [Fig. 9.64 (ii)]. If the circle touches all the four sides of the square tile, find the area of the shaded portion. In which tile, area of shaded portion will be more? (Take π = 3.14)
(i) We know that area of a square = (side)2
and area of a circle = ∏r2
Area of quarter circle = × ∏r2 =
Area of the shaded portion of first tile = Area of square - 4 × Area of one quarter circle
= (20)2 - 4 ×
= 400 - 4 × 3.14 × × 10 × 10
= 400 - 314
= 86 cm2
(ii) In the second tile, diameter of the circle = Side of the tile = 20 cm
i.e. radius = 10 cm
Area of the shaded portion of second tile = Area of square - Area of circle
= (20)2 – 3.14 × 10 × 10
= 400 - 314
= 86 cm2
Shaded area in both the tiles is same.

Ramesh grew wheat in a rectangular field that measured 32 metres long and 26 metres wide. This year he increased the area for wheat by increasing the length but not the width. He increased the area of the wheat field by 650 square metres. What is the length of the expanded wheat field?
Let the increase in length be x m.
Give, increase in area of the field = 650 m2
Area of expanded wheat field – Area of original wheat field= 650 m2
(32 + x ) × 26 – 32 × 26 = 650
26 (32 + x – 32) = 650
x = = 25 m
Length of expanded wheat field = 32 + x = 32 + 25 = 57 m
In Fig. 9.65, triangle AEC is right-angled at E, B is a point on EC, BD is the altitude of triangle ABC, AC = 25 cm, BC = 7 cm and AE = 15 cm. Find the area of triangle ABC and the length of DB.
In ∆AEC, AE = 15 cm, AC = 25 cm
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ∆AEC,
(AE)2 + (EC)2 = (AC)2
(15)2 + (EC)2 = (25)2
(EC)2 = 625 - 225 = 400
EC =√400 = 20 cm
EB = EC – BC = 20 – 7 = 13 cm
Using the formula: Area of triangle = × b × h
Area of ΔAEC = × AE × EC = × 15 × 20 = 150 cm2
Area of ΔAEB = × AE × EB = × 15 × 13 = 97.5 cm2
Area of ΔABC = Area of ΔAEC - Area of ΔAEB
= 150 – 97.5 = 52.5 cm2
Also, area of ΔABC = × DB × AC
52.5 = × DB × 25
DB = = 4.2 cm
Hence, Area of ΔABC =52.5 cm2 and DB = 4.2 cm
