Question (i)
The perimeter of rectangular field is 260 m. If its length is 80 m then find its breadth.
Solution:
Given perimeter of rectangular field = 260 m
and Length of the rectangular field = 80 m
∴ Perimeter of rectangular field = 2 × (length + breadth)
⇒ 260 = 2 × (80 + breadth)
⇒ $$\frac {260}{2}$$ = 80 + breadth
⇒ 80 + breadth = 130
⇒ breadth = 130 – 80 = 50 m
Hence breadth of rectangular field = 50 m

Question (ii)
The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 140 m. If its breadth is 45 m then find its length.
Solution:
Given perimeter of rectangular garden = 140 m
and breadth of rectangular garden = 45 m
∴ Perimeter of rectangular garden = 2 × (length + breadth)
⇒ 140 = 2 × (length + 45)
⇒ $$\frac {260}{2}$$ = length + 45
⇒ length = 70 – 45 = 25 m
Hence length of rectangular garden = 25 m

Question (iii)
The perimeter of a rectangle is 114 cm. If its length is 32 cm then find its breadth.
Solution:
Given perimeter of rectangle = 114 cm
and length of rectangle = 32 cm
∴ Perimeter of rectangle
= 2 × (length + breadth)
⇒ 114 = 2 × (32 + breadth)
⇒ $$\frac {114}{2}$$ = 32 + breadth
⇒ breadth = 57 – 32 = 25 cm
Hence breadth of rectangle = 25 cm

12. The side of a triangular field are 15 m, 20 m and 18 m. Find the total distance travelled by a boy in taking 2 complete rounds of this field.
Solution:
Sides of a triangular fields = 15 m, 20 m and 18 m
Distance covered in one round of a triangular field = Perimeter of rectangular field = Sum of the length of the sides of a rectangular field
= 15 m + 20 m + 18 m

= 2 × 53 m
= 106 m

13. Find the cost of fencing a square field of side 26 m at the rate of ₹ 3 per metre.
Solution:
Given side of the square field = 26 m
∴ Perimeter of the square field = 4 × side
= 4 × 26 m = 104 m
Perimeter of fencing = 104 m
Cost of 1 m of fencing = ₹ 3
Cost of 104 m of fencing
= 104 × ₹ 3
= ₹ 312

14. Mani runs around a square park of side 75 m. Kush runs around a rectangular park of length 60 m and breadth 45 m. Who covers less distance?
Solution:
Side of a square park = 75 m
Perimeter of square park = 4 × (side)
= 4 × (75 m) = 300 m
∴ Distance covered by Mani = 300 m
Length of rectangular park = 60 m
Breadth of rectangular park = 45 m
Perimeter of rectangular park = 2 (length + breadth)
= 2 × (60 + 45) m
= 2 × (105) m
= 210 m
∴ Distance covered by Kush = 210 m
Kush covers less distance.

Perimeter of rectangular white board = 2 × (length + breadth)
= 2 × (240 + 150) cm
= 2 × (390) cm
= 780 cm
Cost of fencing 1 cm = ₹ 6 × 780
= ₹ 4680

16. If length of a rectangle is ‘a’ units and breadth is 5 units. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.
