Problem 1: Rectangle (10 cm × 5 cm)
Given:
- Length = 10 cm
- Width = 5 cm
Area of a rectangle = length × width
= 10 cm × 5 cm =
50 cm²
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
= 2 × (10 + 5) = 2 × 15 =
30 cm
✔ Answers:
- Area =
50 cm²
- Perimeter =
30 cm
---
Problem 2: Square (7 cm side)
Given:
- Side = 7 cm (since it's a square, all sides are equal)
Area of a square = side × side
= 7 cm × 7 cm =
49 cm²
Perimeter of a square = 4 × side
= 4 × 7 =
28 cm
✔ Answers:
- Area =
49 cm²
- Perimeter =
28 cm

Problem 3: Which defines perimeter?
>
Question: Which of the following perfectly defines perimeter of a shape?
a) total distance around a figure
b) space (square units) covered by a figure
-
Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape.
-
Area is the space inside the shape (in square units).
✔ Correct answer: a) total distance around a figure

Problem 4: Perimeter of a rectangle
>
Question: Perimeter of a rectangle =
a) 2(length + width)
b) 2(length) + width
The correct formula is:
P = 2(l + w) → which is the same as
2l + 2w
Option
a) is correct.
✔ Answer: a) 2(length + width)
---
Problem 5: Area of a square
>
Question: Area of a square =
a) 2(length + length)
b) length × length
Area of a square = side × side =
length × length
✔ Answer: b) length × length
---
