Ex 21A Solutions

Question 1.
Solution:
(i) Length (l) = 16.8 cm
Breadth (b) = 6.2 cm
Perimeter = 2 (l + b)
= 2 (16.8 + 6.2) cm
= 2 x 23
= 46 cm

= 30m 6 dm

Question 2.
Solution:
Length of rectangular field (l) = 62 m
and breadth (b) = 33 m

RS Aggarwal Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 21–Concept of Perimeter and Area Ex 21A Question 2

Question 3.
Solution:
Perimeter of field = 128 m
Length + Breadth = 1282 = 64 m
Ratio in length and breadth = 5:3
Let length (l) = 5x
Then breadth = 3x
5x + 3x = 64
=> 5x = 64
=> x = 648 = 8
Length of the field = 5x = 5 x 8 = 40m
and breadth = 3x = 3 x 8 = 24m

Question 4.

RS Aggarwal Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 21–Concept of Perimeter and Area Ex 21A Question 5

Question 6.
Solution:
(i) Side of square = 3.8 cm
Perimeter = 4 x side
= 4 x 3.8 cm
= 15.2 cm
(ii) Side of a square = 4.6 m
Perimeter = 4 x side
= 4 x 4.6 m
= 18.4 m
(iii) Side of a square = 2 m 5 dm
= 2.5 m
Perimeter = 4 x side
= 4 x 2.5 m
= 10 m

Question 7.
Solution:

= 36 cm
(iii) Each side of a regular decagon = 3.6 cm
Perimeter = 10 x Side
= 10 x 3.6
= 36 cm

Question 11.
Solution:
We know that perimeter of a closed figure or a polygon = Sum of its sides
(i) In the figure, sides of a quadrilateral are 45 cm, 35 cm, 27 cm, 35 cm
Its perimeter = Sum of its sides
= (45 + 35 + 27 + 35) cm
= 142 cm
(ii) Sides of a quadrilateral (rhombus) are 18 cm, 18 cm, 18 cm, 18 cm
i.e., each side = 18 cm Perimeter
= 4 x Side
= 4 x 18
= 72 cm
(iii) Sides of the polygon given are 16 cm, 4 cm, 12 cm, 12 cm, 4 cm, 16 cm and 8 cm
Its perimeter = Sum of its sides
= (16 + 4 + 12 + 12 + 4 + 16 + 8) cm

RS Aggarwal Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 21–Concept of Perimeter and Area Ex 21B Question 6

Ex 21C Solutions

Question 1.
Solution:
1. In the given figure, there are 12 complete squares, so its area is 12 cm².
2. In the given figure, there are 18 complete squares, so its area is 18 cm².
3. In the given figure, there are 14.5 complete squares, so its area is 14.5 cm² .
4. In the given figure, there are 6 complete squares and four half parts of a square, the area of the figure is 8 cm².
5. The given figure contains 9 complete squares and 6 half parts of a square. So the area of the figure is
(9+62) = 9 + 3 = 12 cm².
6. The given figure contains 16 complete squares. So, its area is 16 cm².
7. The given figure contains 4 complete squares, 8 more than half parts and 4 less than half parts of a square. Neglecting the less than half parts and considering the more than half parts as complete squares, the approximate area of the figure is 12 cm².
8. The given figure contains 7 complete squares and 5 more than half parts and some less than half parts of a square. Neglecting the less than half parts and considering more than half parts as complete square, the area of the figure is 12 cm² approximately.

(14+42) cm² = (14 + 2) cm² = 16 cm².

Ex 21D Solutions

Question 1.
Solution:
(i) Length (l) = 46 cm
Breadth (b) = 25 cm
Area of rectangle = l x b
= 46 x 25 sq. cm

Area = l x b
= 14.5 x 6.8 sq. m
= 98.6 sq. m Ans.
(iv) Length (l) = 2m 5cm
= 2x 100 cm + 5 cm
= 200 cm + 5 cm
= 205 cm
Breadth = 60 cm
Area = l x b
= 205 cm x 60 cm
= 12300 cm²
(v) Length (l) = 3.5 km
Breadth (b) = 2 km
Area = l x b
= 3.5 x 2
= 7 sq. km. Ans.

Question 2.

Side of a square plot = 14 m
Area = (Side)²
= (14)²
= 196 m²

Question 3.
Solution:
Length of top of table (l) = 2 m, 25 cm = 2.25 m
Breadth (l) = 1 m 20 cm = 1.20 m
Area of the top of the table = l x b
= (2.25 x 1.20) sq. m
= 2.7 sq. m. Ans.

Question 4.
Solution:
Length of carpet (l) = 30 m 75 cm
= 30.75 m
Breadth (b) = 80 cm = 0.80 m
Area of the carpet = l x b
= (30.75 x 0.80) sq. m
= 24.6 sq. m
Cost of one square metre = Rs. 20
Total cost = 24.6 x 150
= Rs. 3690. Ans

Question 5.
Solution:
Length of the sheet of paper 3 m 24 cm
= 300 cm + 24 cm
= 324 cm
Breadth of the sheet of the paper 1 m 72 cm
= 100 cm + 72 cm
= 172 cm
Area of the sheet of paper = (324 x 172) cm²
Also, area of the piece of paper required for an envelope = (18 x 12) cm².

and the breadth of the rectangular park = 3x metres

RS Aggarwal Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 21–Concept of Perimeter and Area Ex 21D Question 9

Question 10.
Solution:
Side of the square plot = 64 m
Perimeter of the square plot = 4 x Side
= 4 x 64
= 256 m
Perimeter of the rectangular plot = Perimeter of the square plot = 256 m
Length of the rectangular plot = 70 m
Perimeter = 2 x (Length + Breadth)
256 = 2 (70 + b)
256 = 140 + 2b
=> 2b = 256 – 140
=> 2b = 116
b = 1162 = 58 cm
Area of the rectangular plot = (length x breadth)]
= (70 x 58) m²
= 4060 m²
Area of the square plot = Side x Side
= (64 x 64) m²
= 4096 m².
Square plot has the greater area than that of the rectangular plot by
(4096 – 4060)
