Q.2) The lid of a rectangular box of sides 40 cm by 10 cm is sealed all round with tape. What is
w
Sol.2) As the lid of the box is sealed around with a tape, we need to find the perimeter of the
w
rectangular box.
Length of the rectangular box = 40 𝑐𝑚
Width of the box = 10 𝑐𝑚
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + width)
So, length of tape required = perimeter of the rectangular box = 2 (40 + 10) = 2(50) = 100

Q.3) A table-top measures 2 m 25 cm by 1 m 50 cm. What is the perimeter of the table-top?
Sol.3) Length of the table-top = 2 𝑚 25 𝑐𝑚 = 2 𝑚 + 0.25 𝑚 = 2.25 𝑚
Width of the table-top = 1 𝑚 50 𝑐𝑚 = 1 𝑚 + 0.50 𝑚 = 1.50 𝑚
We know that, Perimeter = 2(length + width)
= 2(2.25 + 1.50) = 2(3.75) = 7.50𝑚
Q.4) What is the length of the wooden strip required to frame a photograph of length and

to frame we find the perimeter of the photograph.
Length of the photograph = 32 𝑐𝑚

Q.12) Two sides of a triangle are 12 cm and 14 cm. The perimeter of the triangle is 36 cm.
What is its third side?
Sol.12) Perimeter of the triangle = 36 𝑐𝑚 y.
da
Sides of the triangle = 12 𝑐𝑚 and 14 𝑐𝑚
We know that the perimeter of a triangle = sum of all the sides.
to
36 = 26 + third side
Third side = 36 – 26 = 10 𝑐𝑚
Hence, the measure of the third side of the triangle is 10 𝑐𝑚

Q.15) Sweety runs around a square park of side 75 m. Bulbul runs around a rectangular
park with length 60 m and breadth 45 m. Who covers less distance?
Sol.15) Sweety and Bulbul run around the park and hence the distance covered by them is the
perimeter of the park.
Sweety runs around a square park of side = 75𝑚
Perimeter of the park = 4 × side
= 4 × 75 = 300 𝑚
Bulbul runs around a rectangular park of length = 60 𝑚 and width 45 𝑚
Perimeter of the rectangular park = 2(length + width) = 2(60 + 45) = 2(105) = 210 𝑚
So, Distance covered by Sweety is 300 𝑚 and by Bulbul is 210 𝑚.
Therefore, Bulbul covers lesser distance.
