Class 5 Perimeter
Perimeter
Perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides of any figure. Let s find out perimeter of triangle, rectangle, square and quadrilateral.
Perimeter of a Triangle
Perimeter of a triangle can be find out by adding the length of it s three sides. Let s see some examples.
Example 1. Find out the perimeter of the below given triangle.
Solution.Length of side AB = 5 cm
Length of side BC = 7 cm
Length of side AC = 5 cm
Perimeter of the triangle = Length of AB + Length of BC + Length of AC
= 5 cm + 7 cm + 5 cm
= 17 cm
So, the perimeter of the triangle is 17 cm.
Example 2. Find out the perimeter of the below given triangle.
Solution.Length of side AB = 3 cm
Length of side BC = 4 cm
Length of side AC = 5 cm
Perimeter of the above triangle = Length of AB + Length of BC + Length of AC
= 3 cm + 4 cm + 5 cm
= 12 cm
So, the perimeter of the triangle is 12 cm.
Perimeter of a Rectangle
Perimeter of a rectangle is sum of all four sides. We know that opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (Length + Breadth)
Example 1. Find out the perimeter of a rectangle whose length is equal to 5 cm and breadth is equal to 3 cm.
Solution.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 x (Length + Breadth)
= 2 x (5 cm + 3 cm)
= 2 x 8 cm
= 16 cm
So, the perimeter of the rectangle is equal to 16 cm.
Perimeter of a Square
Perimeter of a square is sum of all four sides. We know all the sides of a square are equal.
Perimeter of a square = 4 x Side length
Example 1. The side of a square is 5 cm. Find the perimeter.
Solution.Perimeter of the square = 4 x Side length = 4 x 5 cm = 20 cm.
So, the perimeter of the square is equal to 20 cm.
Perimeter of a Quadrilateral
Perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the length of all four sides.
Perimeter of the quadrilateral = Length of AB + Length of BC + Length of CD + Length of AD
Example 1. Find the perimeter of below given quadrilateral.
Solution.Perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCD = 2 cm + 6 cm + 3 cm + 4 cm
= 15 cm
So, the perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCD is equal to 15 cm.
Example 2. Find the perimeter of below given figure.
Solution. Perimeter of the polygon = AB + BC + CD + DE + EA
= 22 cm + 9 cm + 6 cm + 25 cm + 6 cm
= 68 cm
So, the perimeter of the polygon is 68 cm.
Example 3. Find the perimeter of the below given figure.
Solution. In the above figure, AF = BE
=> AF = BC + DE
=> 6 cm = BC + 3 cm
=> BC = 3 cm
EF = AB + CD
=> 25 cm = 20 cm + CD
=> CD = 25 cm 20 cm
=> CD = 5 cm
Perimeter of the above figure = AB + BC + CD + DE + EF + AF
= 20 cm + 3 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm + 25 cm + 6 cm
= 62 cm
Example 4. Perimeter of a rectangular field is 528 m. If length of the field is double the length of it s breadth then find out the length and breadth of the filed.
Solution. Perimeter of rectangle = 2 x ( Length + Breadth ) Length = A & Breadth = B
= 2 x (A + B)
Length of the rectangle is double the length of breadth.
A = 2B
=> 2 x (A + B) = Perimeter of rectangle
=> 2 x (2B + B) = 528 cm
=> 2 x (3B) = 528 cm
=> 6B = 528 cm
=> B = 528 6
=> B = 88 cm
A = 2B
A = 2 x 88 cm = 176 cm
So, the length of the rectangle is 176 cm and breadth is 88 cm.
Example 5. Perimeter of a square field is 556 cm. What is the length of it s one side?
Solution. Perimeter of a square = 4 x A (A = Length of each side)
4 x A = 556 cm
A = 556 4 = 139 cm
So, length of each side of the square is 139 cm.
Example 6. Perimeter of a triangular field is 145 m. Length of two sides are 35 m and 45 m. What is the length of it s third side?
Solution. Perimeter of a triangle = Total length of all the three sides
= A + B + C
35 m + 45 m + C = 145 m
=> C = 145 (35 + 45)
=> C = 65 m
So, the length of the third side is 65 m.
Example 7. Find the cost of fencing a rectangular field of 70 m length and 50m width at the rate of Rs. 200 per meter.
Solution. Perimeter of the rectangular field = 2 x ( Length of the field + Breadth of the field)
= 2 x (70 + 50) = 2 x 120 = 240 m
Fence to be erected on 240 m at a rate of 200 per meter.
Cost of fencing = 240 m x Rs. 200 = Rs. 48000
So, cost of fencing is Rs. 48000
