Sample Questions
What is the area of a square with side 8 meters?
Show answer
64 sq meters
Area of square = side × side = 8 × 8 = 64 sq meters. Common mistake: Using perimeter formula (4 × 8 = 32) or not squaring the side.
Which of the following are correct formulas for finding perimeter? (Select all correct answers)
Show answer
Rectangle: 2 × (length + breadth), Square: 4 × side, Triangle: sum of all three sides
Perimeter formulas: Rectangle = 2(l+b), Square = 4s, Triangle = a+b+c. The other options are area formulas, not perimeter.
A rectangular field is 25 m long and 18 m wide. How much fencing is needed to go around it once?
Show answer
86 m
Fencing needed = perimeter = 2 × (25 + 18) = 2 × 43 = 86 m. Common mistake: Calculating area (25 × 18 = 450) or adding only length and breadth.
If the perimeter of a square is 32 cm, what is the length of each side?
Show answer
8 cm
If perimeter = 32 cm, then 4 × side = 32, so side = 32 ÷ 4 = 8 cm. Common mistake: Dividing by 2 instead of 4.
