Question 1.
Ayush and Deeksha made pictures. Ayush made his picture on a rectangular sheet of length 60 cm and breadth 20 cm while Deeksha made hers on a rectangular sheet of length 40 cm and breadth 35 cm. Both of these pictures have to be separately framed and laminated. Who has to pay more for framing, if the cost of framing is ₹ 3.00 per cm?
If the rate of lamination is ₹ 2.00 per cm2, who has to pay more for lamination?
Solution:
For finding the cost of framing, we need to find the perimeter and then multiple it by the rate for framing.
In case of Ayush :
Perimeter of the rectangular sheet = 2 (Length + Breadth)
= 2 × (60 + 20) cm = 2 × 80 cm = 160 cm
∴ Cost of framing at the rate of ₹ 3 per cm
= ₹ (3 × 160) = ₹ 480

In case of Deeksha :
Perimeter of the rectangular sheet
= 2 × (40 + 35) cm
= 2 × 75 cm = 150 cm
∴ Cost of framing at the rate of ₹ 3 per cm
= ₹ (3 × 150) = ₹ 450
Thus, Ayush paid more for framing (as 480 > 450).
For finding the cost of lamination, we need to find the area and then multiply it by the rate for lamination.

In the case of Ayush :
Area of the rectangular sheet
= (60 × 20) cm2
=1200 cm2
∴ Cost of lamination at the rate of ₹ 2 per cm2
= ₹ (2 × 1200)
= ₹ 2400

In the case of Deeksha :
Area of the rectangular sheet
= (40 × 35) cm2 = 1400 cm2
∴ Cost of lamination at the rate of ₹ 2 per cm2
= ₹ (2 × 1400)
= ₹ 2800
Thus, Deeksha paid more for lamination (as 2800 > 2400).

(iii) What distance would you cover by taking two rounds of a triangular park?
Solution:
For finding the distance covered by taking two rounds of a triangular park, we need to find the perimeter of the park and then multiply it by 2.

(iv) How much plastic sheet do you need to cover a rectangular swimming pool?
Solution:
For finding the plastic sheet required to cover a rectangular swimming pool, we need to find the area of the pool.

Question 1.
Tanya needed a square of side 4 cm for completing college. She had a rectangular sheet of length 28 cm and breadth 21 cm [See fig. (i)] She cuts off a square of side 4 cm from the rectangular sheet. Her friend saw the remaining sheet
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 31
[See fig.(ii)] and asked Tanya, “Has the perimeter of the sheet increased or decreased now?”
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 32
(i) Has the total length of side AD increased after cutting off the square?
Solution:
There has been a change in the length of side AD after cutting the square.

(ii) Has the area increased or decreased?
Solution:
The area has decreased.

(iii) Tanya cuts off one more square from the opposite side. (See fig.) Will (the perimeter of the remaining sheet increase further?
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 33
Solution:
Yes, the perimeter increases.

(iv) Will the area increase or decrease further?
Solution:
The area will decrease.

(v) So, what can we infer from this?
Solution:
Clearly, if the perimeter increases, it is not necessary that the area also increases.

Question 1.
Experiment with several such shapes and cut-outs. You might find it useful to draw these shapes on squared sheets and compute their areas and perimeters. You have seen that increase in perimeter does not mean that area will also increase.
Solution:
Do yourself (Based on the experiment).

Question 2.
Give two. examples where area increases as the perimeter increases.
Solution:
(i)
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 34
Consider a rectangle ABCD.
Area (ABCD) = A1 = 8 × 3 cm2 = 24 cm
Perimeter (ABCD) = P1 = 2(8 + 3) cm = 22 cm
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 35
Let us consider another rectangle ABEF.
Area (ABEF) = A2 = 10 × 3 cm2 = 30 cm2
Perimeter (ABEF) = P2 = 2(10 + 3) cm = 26 cm
Thus, A2 > A1 => P2 > P1
i.e., as area increases, perimeter increases.
(ii)
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 36
Consider a square ABCD.
Area (ABCD) = 3 × 3 cm2 = 9 cm2
Perimeter (ABCD) = 3 × 3 cm = 9 cm
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 37
Let us consider a rectangle ABEF.
Area (ABEF) = 3 × 5 cm2 = 15 cm2
Perimeter (ABEF) = 2(3 + 5) cm = 16 cm
Thus, A2 > A1 => P2 > P1
i.e., as area increases, perimeter increases.

Question 3.
Give two examples where the area does not increase when the perimeter increases.
Solution:
(i)
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 38
Consider a rectangle ABCD.
Area (ABCD) = A1 =10 × 8 cm2 = 80 cm2
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 40
Perimeter (ABCD) = P2 = 2(8 +10) cm = 36 cm
Cut-off a triangle from the rectangle ABCD as shown.
Its area = A2
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 39
Its perimeter = P2 = (8 + 10 + 8 + 3 + 3 + 5 + 3) cm = 40 cm
Clearly, A1 < A2, i.e., area does not increases, but P2 > P2, i.e., perimeter increases.

(ii)
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 41
Let us have another cut as shown.
Its area = A3
= (A2 – 4 × 3) cm2
= (74 – 12) cm2
= 62 cm2
Its perimeter = P3
= (2 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 10 + 8 + 3 + 3 + 5 + 3) cm = 46 cm
Clearly, A3 < A2, but P3 > P2, i.e., area decreases and perimeter increases.

Question 1.
Each of the following rectangles of length 6 cm and breadth 4 cm is composed of congruent polygons. Find the area of each polygon.
Solution:
Given, length of rectangle = 6 cm
and breadth of rectangle = 4 cm
∴ Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth = 6 × 4 = 24 cm2

(a)
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 44
From the figure, it is clear that the rectangle is divided into 6 congruent polygons or parts.
∴ Area of each polygon = \(\frac{1}{6}\) × (Area of a rectangle)
= \(\frac{1}{6}\) × 24 = 4 cm2

(b)
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 45
From the figure, it is clear that the rectangle is divided into 4 congruent polygons.
∴ Area of each polygon = \(\frac{1}{4}\) × (Area of a rectangle)
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) × 24 = 6 cm2

(c)
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 46
From the figure, it is clear that the rectangle is divided into 2 congruent polygons.
∴ Area of each polygon = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (Area of a rectangle)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 24 =12 cm2

(d)
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 47
From the figure, it is clear that the rectangle is divided into 2 congruent polygons.
∴ Area of each polygon = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (Area of a rectangle)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 24 = 12 cm2

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 48
From the figure, it is clear that the rectangle is divided into 6 congruent polygons.
∴ Area of each polygon = \(\frac{1}{8}\) × (Area of a rectangle)

Question 1.
In the adjacent figures, all the triangles are on the base AB = 6 cm. What can you say about the height of each of the triangles corresponding to the base AB?
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths Integers chapter 7 img 65
Can we say all the triangles are equal in area?
Solution:
Clearly, from the given figures, the heights of each of the triangles corresponding to base AB are equal.
Since the area of a triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × base × height
So, we can say that all the triangles are equal in the area as they have the same base and equal height.

Question 1.
Convert the following:

(i) 50 cm2 in mm2
Solution:
1 cm2 = 1 cm x 1 cm
= 10 mm × 10 mm (∵ 1 cm = 10 mm)
= 100 mm2
50 cm2 = (50 × 100) mm2 = 5000 mm2

(ii) 2 ha in m2
Solution:
We know that a square of side 100 m has an area of 1 hectare (ha).

2 hectares =2 × 10000 m2 = 20000 m2
1 m2 =1 m × 1 m
= 100 cm × 100 cm (∵ 1 m = 100 cm)
= 10000 cm2
10 m2 = 10 × 10000 cm2 = 100000 cm2
