Q.1 The length and the breadth of a rectangular piece of land are 500 m and 300 m respectively. Find
(i) its area
(ii) the cost of the land, if 1\( m^2 \) of the land costs Rs. 10,000



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :

Given: l = 500 m, b = 300 m
(i) Area = l × b
= 500 m × 300 m = 150000\( m^2 \)
(ii) \(\because \)Cost of 1\( m^2\) land = Rs.10,000
\(\therefore \)cost of 150000\( m^2 \) land = Rs. 10,000×1,50,000= Rs.15,00,000,000

Q.2 Find the area of a square park whose perimeter is 320 m.



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area

Length = 35 cm
Perimeter = 2(l + b)
100 = 2(35 + b)
Or, \(\frac{100}{2}= 35+b \)
Or, b= 50 - 35 = 15 cm
Area = l×b = 35cm × 15 cm =\( 525 cm^2 \)

Q. 5 The area of a square park is same as of a rectangular park. If the side of the square park is 60 m and the length of the rectangular park is 90 m, find the breadth of the rectangular park.



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :

Given: Side of the square park = 60 m
Length of the rectangular park = 90 m
Area of the rectangular park = Area of the square park
Or, l×b = side × side
Or, 90× b = 60×60
Or, b = \(\frac{60×60}{90} \) = 40m
Hence, the required breadth = 40 m.

Q.6 A wire is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 40 cm and breadth is 22 cm. If the same wire is rebent in the shape of a square, what will be the measure of each side. Also find which shape encloses more area?



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :

Given: Length = 40 cm,
Breadth = 22 cm
Perimeter of the rectangle= Length of the wire
= 2(l + b) = 2(40 cm + 22 cm)
= 2 × 62 cm = 124 cm
Now, the wire is rebent into a square.
Perimeter = 124 cm
Or, 4 × side = 124
\(\therefore \)side = \(\frac{124}{4} \) cm = 31 cm
So, the measure of each side = 31 cm
Area of rectangular shape = l × b
= 40 cm x 22 cm = 880\( cm^2\)
Area of square shape = Side× side
= \( (31)^2 = 961 cm^2 \)
Since 961\( cm^2 > 880 cm^2 \)
Hence, the square encloses more area.

Q.7 The perimeter of a rectangle is 130 cm. If the breadth of the rectangle is 30 cm, find its length. Also find the area of the rectangle.



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :

Given: Perimeter = 130 cm
Breadth = 30 cm
Perimeter = 2 (l + b)
130 cm = 2(l + 30 cm)
Or, \(\frac{130}{2} \)cm = l + 30 cm
Or, 65 cm = l + 30 cm
Or, 65 cm – 30 cm = l
\(\therefore \)l = 35 cm
Area of the rectangle = l × b = 35 cm × 30 cm
= 1050 \(cm^2\)

Q.8 A door of length 2 m and breadth 1 m is fitted in a wall. The length of the wall is 4.5 m and the breadth is 3.6 m (Fig). Find the cost of white washing the wall, if the rate of white washing the wall is ? 20 per\(m^2.\)



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :

Given: Length of wall = 4.5 m
Breadth of the wall = 3.6 m
Length of the door = 2 m
Breadth of the door = 1 m
Area of the wall = l × b = 4.5 m × 3.6 m = 16.20\( m^2 \)
Area of the door = l × b = 2 m × 1 m = 2 \(m^2\)
\(\therefore \) Area of the wall to be white washed = Area of the wall – Area of the door
= 16.20 \(m^2 – 2 m^2= 14.20 m^2\)
Cost of white washing
= Rs. 14.20 × 20 = Rs. 284.00
Hence, the required area = 14.20\( m^2 \)and the required cost = Rs. 284

Length of the wire to be bent into a circle = 44 cm
2\(\pi \)r = 44 cm
Or, 2 ×\(\frac{22}{7} \) × r = 44 cm
Or, r = \(\frac{44×7}{22×2} \)
Area of circle \(\pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7} × 7×7 = 154 cm^2 \)
Now, the length of the wire is bent into a square.
Here perimeter of square= 44cm
Length of each side of the square
= Perimeter/ 4=44/4=11cm

Q.1 A garden is 90 m long and 75 m broad. A path 5 m wide is to be built outside and around it. Find the area of the path. Also find the area of the garden in hectare.



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :

Given: Length = 90 m
Breadth = 75 m
Area of the garden = l × b
= 90 m × 75 m = 6750\( m^2 \)
Length of the garden including path
= 90m + 5m + 5m = 100 m
Breadth of the garden including path
= 75m + 5m + 5m = 85m
Area of the garden including path = l × b
= 100 m × 85 m = 8500 \( m^2 \)
Area of the path = 8500 \( m^2 – 6750 m^2 = 1750 m^2 \)
Hence, required area of path = \(1750 m^2\) and area of the garden =\( 6750 m^2 = 0.675 hactare \)

Breadth of the park including path = 65m + 3m + 3m = 71m
Area of the park including path = 131 m × 71 m = \( 9301 m^2 \)
\(\therefore \)Area of the path\(= 9301 m^2 – 8125 m^2 = 1176 m^2 \)
Hence, the required area =\( 1176 m^2. \)

Q.3 A picture is painted on a cardboard 8 cm long and 5 cm wide such that there is a margin of 1. 5 cm along each of its sides. Find the total area of the margin.



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :

Length = 8 cm, breadth = 5 cm
Area of the cardboard = l × b \( = 8 cm × 5 cm = 40 cm^2\)
Width of the margin = 1.5 cm
Length of the inner cardboard= 8 cm – 1.5 × 2 cm
= 8 cm – 3 cm = 5 cm
Breadth of the inner cardboard= 5 cm – 1.5 × 2 cm
= 5 cm – 3 cm = 2 cm
Area of the inner rectangle = l × b
= 5 cm × 2 cm = 10 \(cm^2 \)
Area of the margin\(= 40 cm^2 – 10 cm^2 = 30 cm^2 \) Hence, the required area = 30\( cm^2\)

Q.4 A verandah of width 2.25 m is constructed all along outside a room which is 5.5 m long and 4 m wide. Find:
(i) the area of the verandah.
(ii) the cost of cementing the floor of the verandah at the rate of Rs. 200 per \( m^2. \)



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :

Length of the room = 5.5 m
Breadth of the room = 4 m
\(\therefore \) Area of the room = l × b = 5.5 m × 4 m = 22 \( m^2 \)
Width of the verandah = 2.25 m
Length of the room including verandah
= 5.5 m + 2 × 2.25 m = 10 m
Breadth of the room including verandah
= 4 m + 2 × 2.25 m = 8.50 m
Area of the room including verandah = l × b
= 10 m × 8.50 m =\( 85 m^2 \)

Q.5 A path 1 m wide is built along the border and inside a square garden of side 30 m. Find:
(i) the area of the path
(ii) the cost of planting grass in the remaining portion of the garden at the rate of Rs. 40 per \( m^2.\)



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :


Area of the square garden =\( (Side)^2 \)
= 30 m × 30 m =\( 900 m^2 \)
Length of the garden excluding the path = 30 m – 2 × 1 m = 28 m
\(\therefore \)Area of the garden excluding the path = 28 m × 28 m = 784\( m^2 \)
(i) Area of the path =\( 900 m^2 – 784 m^2 = 116 m^2 \)
(ii) Cost of the planting the remaining portion
at the rate of Rs. 40 per\( m^2 \) = Rs. 40 × 784 = Rs. 31,360

Q.6 Two cross roads, each of width 10 m, cut at right angles through the centre of a rectangular park of length 700 m and breadth 300 m and parallel to its sides. Find the area of the roads. Also find the area of the park excluding cross roads. Give the answer in hectares.



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :


Length of the road parallel to the length of the park = 700 m
Width of the road = 10 m
\(\therefore \) Area of the road = l × b = 700 m × 10 m = 7000\( m^2 \)
Length of the road parallel to the breadth of the park = 300 m
Width of the road = 10 m Area of this road = l × b = 300 m × 10 =\( 3000 m^2 \)
Area of the both roads = \( 7000 m^2 + 3000 m^2 \)– Area of the common portion
=\( 10,000 m^2 – 10 m × 10 m = 10,000 m^2 – 100 m^2 \)
\(= 9900 m^2 = 0.99 hactare \)
Area of the park = l × b = 700 m × 300 m = \(210000 m^2 \)
Area of the park without the roads
=\( 210000 m^2 – 9900 m^2 \) =\( 200100 m^2 = 20.01 hactare \)

Q.7 Through a rectangular field of length 90 m and breadth 60 m, two roads are constructed which are parallel to the sides and cut each other at right angles through the centre of the fields. If the width of each road is 3 m, find
(i) the area covered by the roads.
(ii) the cost of constructing the roads at of the rate of Rs. 110 per\( m^2. \)



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :


Length of the road along the length of the field = 90 m Breadth = 3 m
\(\therefore Area of this road = l × b
= 90 m × 3 m =\( 270 m^2 \)
Similarly, the area of the road parallel to the breadth of the field = l × b
= 60 m × 3 m =\( 180 m^2\)
Area of the common portion =\( 3m × 3m = 9m^2\)
(i) Area of the two roads = \(270 m^2 + 180 m^2 – 9 m^2 \) =\( 450 m^2 – 9 m^2 = 441 m^2 \)
(ii) Cost of constructing the roads
= Rs. 110 × 441 = Rs. 48,510

Q.8 Pragya wrapped a card around a circular pipe of radius 4 cm and cut off the length required of the cord. Then she wrapped it around a square box of side 4 cm (also shown). Did she have any cord left? (\(\pi \)= 3.14)



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :

Length of the cord = Circumference of the circular pipe
= 2\(\pi \)r = 2 × 3.14 × 4 = 25.12 cm
Perimeter of the square box
= 4 × side = 4 × 4 cm = 16 cm
Length of the cord left
= 25.12 cm – 16 cm = 9.12 cm
Yes, 9.12 cm cord is left.

(iv) the circumference of the flower bed.



NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter And Area


Answer :

(i) Length of the lawn = 10 m
Breadth of the lawn = 5 m
Area of the lawn = l × b
=\( 10 m × 5 m = 50 m^2\)
(ii) Area of the circular flower bed = \(\pi r^2 \)
=\(\frac{22}{7} ×2×2=\frac{88}{7}m^2=12.57m^2 \)
(iii) Area of the lawn excluding the area of the flower bed
= \( 50m^2 - \frac{88}{7} m^2 = \frac{350-88}{7} m^2 = \frac{262}{7} \) = \( 37. 43m^2 \)
(iv) circumference of the flower bed = 2\(\pi r \)
= \( 2 \frac{22}{7} ×2 m^2 = \frac{88}{7} m^2 = 12.57 m^2 \)
