Length of the rectangular park = 45 m
Breadth of the park = 30 m
Area of the park = l × 6 = 45m × 30m = 1350 m2
Length of the park including the path = 45 m + 2 × 2.5 m = 50 m
Breadth of the park including the path = 30 m + 2 × 2.5 m = 30m + 5m = 35m
Area of the park including the path = 50 m × 35 m = 1750 m2
Area of the path = 1750 m2 – 1350 m2 = 400 m2
Hence, the required area = 400 m2.

= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 21 × 21
= 22 × 3 × 21
= 1386 cm2
Total area = 3360 cm2 + 1386 cm2 = 4746 cm2
Total length of the boundary of field = (2 × 80 + πr + πr) cm
= (160 + \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 21 + \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 21)
= (160 + 132) cm
= 292 cm
Hence, the required (i) area = 4746 cm2 and (ii) length of boundary = 292 cm.

Question 16.

Question 17.
A nursery school playground is 160 m long and 80 m wide. In it 80 m × 80 m is kept for swings and in the remaining portion, there are 1.5 m wide path parallel to its width and parallel to its remaining length as shown in Figure. The remaining area is covered by grass. Find the area covered by grass. (NCERT Exemplar)
Perimeter and Area Class 7 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 11 Q17
Solution:
Area of the playground = l × b = 160 m × 80 m = 12800 m2
Area left for swings = l × b = 80m × 80m = 6400 m2
Area of the remaining portion = 12800 m2 – 6400 m2 = 6400 m2
Area of the vertical road = 80 m × 1.5 m = 120 m2
Area of the horizontal road = 80 m × 1.5 m = 120 m2
Area of the common portion = 1.5 × 1.5 = 2.25 m2
Area of the two roads = 120 m2 + 120 m2 – 2.25 m2 = (240 – 2.25) m2 = 237.75 m2
Area of the portion to be planted by grass = 6400 m2 – 237.75 m2 = 6162.25 m2
Hence, the required area = 6162.25 m2.

Question 18.
Rectangle ABCD is formed in a circle as shown in Figure. If AE = 8 cm and AD = 5 cm, find the perimeter of the rectangle. (NCERT Exemplar)
Perimeter and Area Class 7 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 11 Q18
Solution:
DE (Radius) = AE + AD = 8 cm + 5 cm = 13 cm
DB = AC = 13 cm (Diagonal of a rectangle are equal)
In right ∆ADC,
AD2 + DC2 = AC2 (By Pythagoras Theorem)
⇒ (5)2 + DC2 = (13)2
⇒ 25 + DC2 = 169
⇒ DC2 = 169 – 25 = 144
⇒ DC = √144 = 12 cm
Perimeter of rectangle ABCD = 2(AD + DC)
= 2(5 cm + 12 cm)
= 2 × 17 cm
= 34 cm

Question 19.
Find the area of a parallelogram-shaped shaded region. Also, find the area of each triangle. What is the ratio of the area of shaded portion to the remaining area of the rectangle?
Perimeter and Area Class 7 Extra Questions Maths Chapter 11 Q19
Solution:
Here, AB = 10 cm
AF = 4 cm
FB = 10 cm – 4 cm = 6 cm
Area of the parallelogram = Base × Height = FB × AD = 6 cm × 6 cm = 36 cm2
Hence, the required area of shaded region = 36 cm2.
Area ∆DEF = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × b × h
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × AF × AD
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × 4 × 6
= 12 cm2
Area ∆BEC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × b × h
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × GC × BC
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × 4 × 6
= 12 cm2
Area of Rectangle ABCD = l × b = 10 cm × 6 cm = 60 cm2
Remaining area of Rectangle = 60 cm2 – 36 cm2 = 24 cm2
Required Ratio = 36 : 24 = 3 : 2
