(a) 1.5 times                                                (b) 2 times
(c) 3 times                                                   (d) 4 times
Solution:
(b) Let b be the side and h be the height of a rhombus.
∴  Area of rhombus = b x h                 [∵ area of rhombus = base x corresponding height]
If each side of rhombus is doubled, then side of rhombus = 2b
Now, area of rhombus = 2b x h = 2(b x h) = 2 times of original
Hence, the area of rhombus will be increased by 2 times.

Question 29:
If the sides of a parallelogram are increased to twice its original lengths, how much will the perimeter of the new parallelogram increase?
(a) 1.5 times                                                (b) 2 times
(c) 3 times                                                   (d) 4 times
Solution:
(b) Let the length and breadth of the parallelogram be l and b, respectively.
Then, perimeter = 2(1 + b) [∵ perimeter of parallelogram = 2 x (length + breadth)]
If both sides are increased twice, then new length and breadth will be 21 and 2b, respectively.
Now, new perimeter = 2(21 + 2b) = 2 x 2(l + b) = 2 times of original perimeter.
Hence, the perimeter of parallelogram will be increased 2 times.

Question 30:
If radius of a circle is increased to twice its original length, how much will the area of the circle increase?
(a) 1.4 times              (b) 2 times                 (c) 3 times                 (d) 4 times
Solution:
(d) Let r be the radius of the circle.
∴ Area of circle = π²
If radius is increased to twice its original length, then radius will be 2r.
Now, area of new circle = π(2r)² = 4π² = 4 times of original area
Hence, the area of circle will be increased by 4 times.

Question 36:
If the radius of a circle is tripled, the area becomes
(a) 9 times               (b) 3 times                  (c) 6 times                 (d) 30 times
Solution :
(a) Let r be the radius of a circle.
∴ Area of circle = πr²
If radius is tripled, then new radius will be 3r.
∴ Area of new circle = π(3r)² = 9π² = 9 times of original
Hence, the area of a cirlce becomes 9 times to the original area.

∴                       (6 m)² = x x (1 cm)²                                                             [∵ 1 m = 100 cm]
⇒                (600 cm)² = x x (1 cm)²
⇒            360000 cm² = x cm²
⇒                                 x = 360000

Solution :
Here, length of rectangular lawn = 72 m and breadth of rectangular lawn = 18 m
∵ Perimeter of rectangle =2 x (Length + Breadth)
∴ Perimeter of rectangular lawn = 2 (72 + 18) = 2 (90) = 180 m
If 3 shrubs can be planted in a metre of hedge.
Then, number of shrubs = 3 x Perimeter of rectangular lawn = 3 x 180 = 540

Solution :
We know that,
Area of rectangle =l x b and area of circle = πr²
From the given figure,
Area of total rectangular land = 15 m x 10 m=150 m²
Area of land covered by plants = 9 m x 1 m = 9 m²
Area of land covered by camel = 5 m x 3 m = 15 m²
∴ Region of land covered by ox is circular area.

A wall of a room is of dimensions 5 m x 4 m. It has a window of dimensions 1.5 m x 1 m and a door of dimensions 2.25 m x 1 m. Find the area of the wall, which is to be painted.
Solution :
Given,a wall of a room is of dimensions 5 m x m.
∴ Length of the room = 5 m and breadth of the room = 4 m
∴ Area of the room = l x b=5 x 4 = 20 m²
Also, length of the window = 1.5 m and breadth of the window = 1 m                              [given]
∴ Area of the window = l x b = 1.5 x 1 = 1.5 m²
Now, length of the door = 2.25 m and breadth of the door = 1 m
∴ Area of the door = l x b = 2.25 x 1 = 2.25 m²
Now, area of the wall to be painted = Area of the room – (Area of the window + Area of the door)
= 20 – (1.5 + 2.25) = 20 – 3.75 = 16.25 m²
