Perimeter & Area — MCQ Questions
1What is the perimeter of a square with side 9 cm?
Show Answer+
Answer: 36 cm
Hint: Perimeter of a square = 4 × side.
Solution:
The perimeter of a square is the sum of all four equal sides. — Perimeter = 4 × side
Substitute the value: — Perimeter = 4 × 9 = 36 cm
2Find the perimeter of a rectangle with length 12 cm and breadth 7 cm.
Show Answer+
Answer: 38 cm
Hint: Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + breadth).
Solution:
Formula for perimeter of a rectangle: — Perimeter = 2 × (l + b)
Substitute: — Perimeter = 2 × (12 + 7) = 2 × 19 = 38 cm
3What is the area of a rectangle with length 10 cm and breadth 6 cm?
Show Answer+
Answer: 60 cm²
Hint: Area of a rectangle = length × breadth.
Solution:
Formula: — Area = length × breadth
Substitute: — Area = 10 × 6 = 60 cm²
4Find the area of a square with side 8 cm.
Show Answer+
Answer: 64 cm²
Hint: Area of a square = side × side.
Solution:
Formula: — Area = side × side = side²
Substitute: — Area = 8 × 8 = 64 cm²
5What is the perimeter of a triangle with sides 5 cm, 7 cm, and 9 cm?
Show Answer+
Answer: 21 cm
Hint: Perimeter of a triangle = sum of all three sides.
Solution:
Perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all its sides.
Calculate: — Perimeter = 5 + 7 + 9 = 21 cm
6Find the area of a triangle with base 12 cm and height 5 cm.
Show Answer+
Answer: 30 cm²
Hint: Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height.
Solution:
Formula: — Area = ½ × base × height
Substitute: — Area = ½ × 12 × 5 = 30 cm²
7The perimeter of a square is 48 cm. What is the length of each side?
Show Answer+
Answer: 12 cm
Hint: Divide the perimeter by 4 to get each side.
Solution:
Perimeter of a square = 4 × side
So, side = Perimeter ÷ 4: — side = 48 ÷ 4 = 12 cm
8What is the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with side 11 cm?
Show Answer+
Answer: 33 cm
Hint: An equilateral triangle has all three sides equal.
Solution:
An equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides.
Perimeter: — Perimeter = 3 × side = 3 × 11 = 33 cm
9A rectangle has length 15 cm and breadth 10 cm. What is its area?
Show Answer+
Answer: 150 cm²
Hint: Area = length × breadth.
Solution:
Formula: — Area = length × breadth
Substitute: — Area = 15 × 10 = 150 cm²
10The perimeter of a rectangle is 30 cm and its length is 10 cm. Find the breadth.
Show Answer+
Answer: 5 cm
Hint: Perimeter = 2(l + b). First find (l + b), then subtract the length.
Solution:
Using the perimeter formula: — 30 = 2 × (10 + b)
Divide both sides by 2: — 15 = 10 + b
Solve: — b = 15 - 10 = 5 cm
