Worked practice questions

For a closed plane figure, the distance around its boundary is the:

  1. Perimeter
  2. Area size
  3. Volume
  4. Diagonal
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Perimeter

1. Area is the region covered by the figure. 2. The boundary distance is the perimeter. 3. Both are found for triangles, rectangles and circles. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Chapter 11, Mensuration._

A rectangular park is 30 m long and 20 m wide. The length of fence around it is:

  1. 50 m
  2. 100 m
  3. 60 m
  4. 600 m
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 100 m

1. Perimeter is twice the sum of length and width. 2. Twice 50 is 100. 3. So the fence is 100 m long. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Chapter 11, Mensuration._

The land occupied by that 30 m by 20 m park is:

  1. 600 square metres
  2. 100 square metres
  3. 500 square metres
  4. 300 square metres
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 600 square metres

1. Area of a rectangle is length times width. 2. 30 times 20 is 600. 3. So the area is 600 square metres. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Chapter 11, Mensuration._
