 PERIMETER OF RECTANGLE

In our daily life we come across many situations where we need

to find out regions occupied by different things and the length of
their boundaries for example, to have an estimate of number of files
required to cover a floor or to have estimate of the quantity of wood
required for making a door. In this lesson we shall derive formula to
find the perimeter of rectangle. The length of boundary of a simple
closed curve is called perimeter.

Activities: - Measure two sides of the black board of your class room
and find its perimeter by adding the length of sides. Find the
perimeter of floor of your class room top of a bench or a
Table we know that a rectangles a simple closed curve having tour
sides where opposite sides are equal and each angle is 90. Rectangle
abcd has been shown below. If its length is denoted by and breath by
b. Then its sides were being shown in figure.
D l C

b b
l
A B

Therefore perimeter of the rectangle (p) =ab+bc+cd+da

l+b+l+b
2l+2b
p=2(l+b)
Thus perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length breadth)
Note:- Before using above formula, the length and breath should be
converted into same units.
We can also find length and breadth as follows.

Length of rectangle = perimeter /2-breath

Breadth of a rectangle = perimeter/2-length.

Example: - The length and breath of a rectangles are 12cm and 8cm
respectively find its perimeter of rectangle
= 2(length+breadth)

Solution: 2(12cm+8cm)
2*20cm=40cm

Example2 perimeter of a rectangle is 50cm and breath is 10cm find

its length.

Solution: - length of rectangle =perimeter/2-breath

(50/2-io) cm
=25-10cm
=15cm
Therefore length of the rectangle is 15cm
 AREA OF RECTANGLE

The curve together with its interior form a region and the
measure (magnitude) of the region bounded
By a curve is known as its area we want to know the quantity
of seeds and fertilizers needed for a field we must know the
area of the field. To cover a floor with tiles, to paint a wall or
to paint the doors we need to measure their areas
Standard limits of area
For any kind of measurements, we require base units and we
can measure a given quantity by comparing it with the base
(standard) limits. We know that a rectangle is a simple closed
curve having four sides where opposite sides is equal and each
angle is 90. A rectangle abcd has been shown below. If its
length is denoted by l and breath by b then its sides will be
shown. In figure and area is denoted by a

D l C

b b
l
A B
Therefore the Area of the rectangle = length*breadth or
A=lXb

Note:- we should make sure before using above relation that

the length and breath are expressed in the same limits . If the
length and breadth are not in the same unit then the units of
either of them should be converted that both are in the same
units for above formula we can find length and breadth also as
following: -
Length of a rectangle = area of the rectangle/ breadth of
rectangle i.e. l = a/b
And breadth of a rectangle = area of rectangle/length of
rectangle i.e. b = a/l

Activity

Cut out some rectangle of different sizes from a piece of

paper and find its area
Example
Find the area of rectangle whose length and
breadth are as following

Length = 6 cm
Breadth = 3 cm
Area of the rectangle = length x breadth
= 6 cm x 3 cm
= 18 cm
Example 2
Find the length of the rectangle whose are is 60
cm2 and breadth is 5cm

Solution :
Breadth of rectangle = area of rectangle/length of
rectangle
Breadth of rectangle = 60cm2/5cm = 12cm
