The Story of Geometric Shapes (Class- 6, Experience- 10)

[Exercise- page 204]


E.10.1.



Solution:


If there is a 1-meter wide road within the middle of the garden, we need to subtract the length of the road from both the width and length of the garden to find the effective dimensions of the garden itself. 

Given: 
Width of the garden = 30 meters 
Length of the garden = 40 meters 

With a 1-meter wide road, we subtract 1 meter from both the width and the length (since the road is effectively reducing the length and width of the garden by 1 meter on each side). 
So, the effective dimensions of the garden become: 
Width = 30 meters - 1 meter = 29 meters 
Length = 40 meters - 1 meter = 39 meters 

Now, to find the perimeter of the garden, we add up the lengths of all four sides: 
Perimeter = 2 × (Width + Length) 
Perimeter = 2 × (29 + 39) 
Perimeter = 2 × 68 
Perimeter = 136 meters 

So, the perimeter of the garden is 136 meters.




E.10.2. The area of a rectangular field is equal to the area of a square. The length of the rectangular field is 4 times the width. The cost of rope per meter is Tk 7. The cost of the rope to make fence twice around the field is Tk 5600. 


a) What will be the perimeter of the rectangular field? 


b) If you sow a papaya plant in every 4 m2 area how many papaya plants will be needed?


Solution:


Given:
  • Length of the rectangular field is 4 times the width.
  • Cost of rope per meter is Tk 7.
  • The cost of the rope to make a fence twice around the field is Tk 5600.

Let's denote:
Width of the rectangular field = w meters
Length of the rectangular field = 4w meters

a) Perimeter of the rectangular field: 
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula 2 × (length + width). 
So, for this rectangular field, the perimeter (P) is: 
P = 2 × (4w + w)
P = 2 × (4w + w) 
P = 10w

b) Number of papaya plants needed: 
The total area of the field is the area of the rectangle, which is 4w × w = 4w2 square meters.
If each papaya plant needs 4 square meters, the number of plants needed is: 4w2  4 = w2

Since the length of the rectangular field is 4 times the width, the total area is 4w × w = 4w2 square meters.
So, you will need w2 papaya plants.
Now, we need to find the value of w. We can use the given information about the cost of the rope to find w.
The cost of the rope to make a fence twice around the field is Tk 5600, and the cost per meter of rope is Tk 7. Using the formula for the perimeter of the rectangular field (P=10w), we can set up the equation: 
10w × 7 = 5600 
w = 5600  70 
w = 80

a) Perimeter of the rectangular field: P = 10w = 10 × 80 = 800 meters 
b) Number of papaya plants needed: w2 = 802 = 6400 papaya plants. So, you will need 6400 papaya plants.




E.10.3. 



In the diagram, the perimeter of the parallelogram field is 180 meters. The area of the parallelogram can be obtained in more than one way 


a) Find the area of the parallelogram in more than one way with logical explanations. 


b) Show that the area of the parallelogram field = twice the area of the triangle ABD.


Solution:


a) To find the area of the parallelogram in more than one way, let's use two different approaches:
Approach 1: Using the formula for the area of a parallelogram
Approach 2: Using the fact that the area of a parallelogram is twice the area of a triangle with the same base and height

Let's proceed with each approach:

Approach 1: Using the formula for the area of a parallelogram
The formula for the area of a parallelogram is given by base times height. Here, we can choose either AB or AD as the base, and the corresponding height would be DF.

Area = Base × Height

We'll choose AB as the base:
Area = AB × DF
Area = 2a × 5
Area = 10a square meters

Approach 2: Using the fact that the area of a parallelogram is twice the area of a triangle with the same base and height

Let's find the area of triangle ABD first:
Area of triangle ABD = 12 × Base × Height
Area of triangle ABD = 12 × 2a × 5
Area of triangle ABD = 5a square meters

Now, as per the given property, the area of the parallelogram is twice the area of triangle ABD:
Area of parallelogram = 2 × Area of triangle ABD
Area of parallelogram = 2 × 5a
Area of parallelogram = 10a square meters

So, we can see that both approaches yield the same result, which is the area of the parallelogram = 10a square meters.


b) Show that the area of the parallelogram field = twice the area of the triangle ABD.

We've already shown this in approach 2. The area of the parallelogram is twice the area of triangle ABD, as we calculated the area of the triangle ABD and then doubled it to find the area of the parallelogram.




E.10.4. The length of the floor of a room is 26 meter and the width is 20 meter. How many mats of length 4 meter and width 2.5 meter will cover the whole floor? What will be the total cost if each mat costs Tk 45?


Solution:


First, let's calculate the area of each mat:
Area of each mat = Length × Width
Area of each mat = 4 meters × 2.5 meters
Area of each mat = 10 square meters

Now, let's find the total area of the floor:
Total area of the floor = Length × Width
Total area of the floor = 26 meters × 20 meters
Total area of the floor = 520 square meters

To find out how many mats are required to cover the entire floor, we divide the total area of the floor by the area of each mat:

Number of mats = Total area of the floor   Area of each mat
Number of mats = 520 10 square meters
Number of mats = 52

So, 52 mats are required to cover the entire floor.
Now, let's calculate the total cost:
Total cost = Number of mats × Cost per mat
Total cost = 52 mats × Tk 45 per mat
Total cost = Tk 2340

Therefore, the total cost to cover the entire floor with the mats will be Tk 2340.
