    Exercise 20A Page: 229


    1. Find the area of the rectangle whose dimensions are:
    (i) Length = 24.5 m, breadth = 18m
    Solution:-
    Consider a rectangle with length = l units and breadth = b units. Then, we have:
    Area of rectangle = (l × b) sq units
    Then,
    = (24.5 × 18)
    = 441 m2

    (ii) Length = 12.5 m, breadth = 8dm


    Solution:-
    Breadth = 8dm = (8 × 10) = 80cm= 0.8 m [Because 1dm =10 cm and 1m = 100cm]
    Consider a rectangle with length = l units and breadth = b units. Then, we have:
    Area of rectangle = (l × b) sq units
    Then,
    = (12.5 × 0.8)
    = 10 m2

    2. Find the area of a rectangle plot. One side of which is 48 m and its diagonal is 50 m.
    Solution:-

    Let ABCD be the rectangular plot.


    Then, AB = 48 m and AC = 50 m
    BC =?
    According to Pythagoras theorem,
    From right angle triangle ABC, we have:
    = AC2 = AB2 + BC2
    = 502 = 482 + BC2
    = BC2 = 502 - 482
    = BC2 = 2500 – 2304
    = BC2 = 196
    RS Aggarwal Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 20
    Mensuration

    = BC = √196
    = BC = 14 m
    Hence, the area of the rectangle plot = (l × b)
    Where, l = 48 m, b = 14 m
    Then,
    = (48 × 14)
    = 672 m2

    3. The sides of a rectangular park are in the ratio 4:3. If its area is 1728 m 2, find the cost of fencing it
    at ₹ 30 per meter.
    Solution:-
    Let the length of the field be 4x m
    Then, its breadth = 3x
    ∴area of the rectangular park = ((4x) × (3x)) = 12x2 m2
    But, area = 1728m2 (from the question)
    2
    ∴12x = 1728
    = x2 = 1728/12
    = x2 = 144
    = x = √144
    = x = 12
    ∴length = (4 × 12) = 48m, breadth = 3 × 12 = 36m
    ∴perimeter of the field = 2(l + b) units
    = 2 (48 + 36)
    = 2 (84)
    = 168m
    ∴the cost of fencing = ₹ (168 × 30)
    = ₹ 5040

    4. The area of a rectangle field is 3584 m2 and its length is 64 m. A boy runs around the field at the
    rate of 6 km/h. How long will he take to go 5 times around it?
    Solution:-
    From the question we have,
    Area of the rectangular field = 3584 m2
    Length of the rectangular field = 64 m
    Boy runs around the field at the rate = 6 km/h
    = ((6 × 1000) / 60) m/min
    = 100 m/min
    Breadth of the rectangular field = (area /length)
    = (3584/ 64)
    = 56 m
    ∴perimeter of the field = 2(l + b) units
    = 2 (64 + 56)
    = 2 (120)
    RS Aggarwal Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 20
    Mensuration

    = 240m
    Total distance covered by the boy = 5 × perimeter of the field
    = 5 × 240
    = 1200m
    ∴required time to cover the distance of 1200m = (1200/100) = 12min
    Hence, boy took 12min to go 5 times around of rectangular field.

    5. A verandah is 40 m long and 15 m broad. It is to be paved with stones, each measuring 6dm by
    5dm. Find the number of stones required.
    Solution:-
    Convert all the given measures into same units.
    From the question,
    Verandah has length of = 40 m = (40 × 10) dm = 400 dm [Because 1m = 10dm]
    Verandah has length of = 15 m = (15 × 10) dm = 150 dm
    ∴Area of the verandah = (l × b)
    = (400 × 150) dm2
    = 60000 dm2
    Now,
    Length of a stone = 6dm (given)
    Breadth of a stone = 5dm
    ∴Area of a stone = (l × b)
    = (6 ×5)
    = 30 dm2
    ∴Total number of stones required to pave the verandah = (Area of verandah/ Area of each stone)
    = (60000/ 30)
    = 2000 stones

    6. Find the cost of carpeting a room 13 m by 9 m with a carpet of width 75 cm at the rate of ₹ 105 per
    meter.
    Solution:-
    From the question,
    Length of room = 13 m
    Breadth of room = 9m
    Width of the carpet = 75 cm = (75/100) m = 0.75m
    The rate of carpeting the room = ₹ 105 per meter.
    ∴Area of the room = (l × b)
    = (13 × 9)
    = 117m2
    Length of the carpet = (Area of the carpet / Width of the carpet)
    By the question we understood that, Area of the room = Area of the carpet
    Then,
    = (Area of the carpet / Width of the carpet)
    = (117/0.75)
    RS Aggarwal Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 20
    Mensuration

    = 156 m
    ∴Total cost of carpeting = ₹ (156 × 105)
    = ₹ 16380

    7. The cost of carpeting a room 15 m long with a carpet of width 75 cm at ₹ 80 per meter is ₹ 19200.
    Find the width of the room.
    Solution:-
    From the question,
    Length of the room = 15 m
    Width of the carpet = 75 cm = (75/100)m = 0.75 m
    Cost of carpet = ₹ 80
    Cost of carpeting the room = ₹ 19200
    Let the length of the carpet be x m
    ∴Cost of x m carpet = ₹ (80 × x) = ₹ 80x
    Then,
    Cost of carpeting the room = ₹ 19200
    = 80x = 19200
    = x = 19200/80
    = x = 240
    ∴The length of the carpet required for carpeting the room is 240m
    Then,
    Area of the carpet required for carpeting the room = Length of the carpet × Width of the carpet
    = (240 × 0.75) m2
    = 180m2
    Now,
    We have to find width of the room be b m.
    Carpeting area = 15 m × b m
    = 15b m2
    ∴ 15b m = 180 m2
    2

    = b = (180/15) m
    = b = 12 m
    Hence, the width of the room is 12 m

    8. The length and breadth of a rectangular piece of land are in the ratio of 5: 3. If the total cost of
    fencing it at ₹ 24 per mater is ₹ 9600, find its length and breadth.
    Solution:-
    From the question,
    The cost of fence = ₹ 24 per mater
    The total cost of fencing a rectangular piece of land = ₹ 9600
    Let the length of the rectangular field = 5x
    The breadth of the rectangular field = 3x
    Then,
    perimeter of the rectangular land = 2 ( l + b )
    RS Aggarwal Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 20
    Mensuration

    = 2 (5x + 3x)
    = 2 (8x)
    = 16x
    Perimeter of the given field = (total cost of fencing / Rate of fencing)
    16x = (9600/24)m
    16x = 400m
    x = 400/16
    x = 25
    ∴ the length of the rectangular field = 5x = 5 × 25 = 125m
    The breadth of the rectangular field = 3x = 3 × 25 = 75m

    9. Find the length of the largest pole that can be placed in a hall 10 m long, 10 m wide and 5 m high.
    Solution:-
    From the question we conclude that the hall is in rectangular shape.
    In that hall the largst pole means, the diagonal
    ∴let The length of the diagonal of the room = √(l2 + b2 + h2)
    = √(102 +102 + 52)
    = √(100+ 100 + 25)
    = √(225)
    = 15m
    Hence the length of the diagonal of the room is 15m

    10. Find the area of a square each of whose sides measures 8.5m.
    Solution:-
    From the question,
    Each sides of square measures = 8.5 m
    Then,
    Area of the square = a2 units
    = (8.5)2
    = 72.25 m2
