Solution:
Let b be the base of the parallelogram.
Height of the parallelogram = Twice that of the base = 2b
Area of the parallelogram = base height
[Formula.]
288 = b 2b
[Substitute the values.]

144 = b2
144 = b2, b = 12
[Taking square root on both sides.]
Base of the parallelogram = 12 m
Height of the parallelogram = 2b = 2(12) = 24 m
Therefore, the base and height of the parallelogram are 12 m and 24 m respectively.

15. What is the height of the parallelogram, if the base is half of its height and

Solution:

Perimeter of the figure = 45 + 5p + 6q


[From the figure.]
5p = 45 cm p = 455 = 9 cm
[Divide each side by 5.]
3q = 27 cm q = 9 cm
[Divide each side by 3.]
Perimeter of the figure = 45 + 5 9 + 6 9 = 144 cm
[From steps 3 and 4.]
Therefore the perimeter of the figure is 144 cm.

Solution:
Area of the rectangle 1 = l b = 5 m 2 m = 10 m 2

Divide the shaded portion into parts.


Area of the shaded portion = area of the square + area of the rectangle 1 + area of
the rectangle 2
Area of the square = s2 = 22 = 4 m2
Area of the rectangle 2 = l b = 4 m 2 m = 8 m 2
So, area of the shaded portion = 4 m2 + 10 m2 + 8 m2 = 22 m2

Solution:

Area of the shaded portion = area of rectangle - 4(area of rectangle with sides 4 yd
and 3 yd)
Area of rectangle = l b = 8 6 = 48 yd 2
[length = 3 + 2 + 3 and breadth = 2 + 2 + 2.]
Area of rectangle with sides 3 yd and 2 yd = 3 2 = 6 yd 2
Area of the shaded portion = 48 - 4(6) = 24 yd 2
[Substitute in step 1 and simplify.]
So, the area of the shaded portion is 24 yd 2.

Solution:
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)
[Formula.]
2(l + b) = 24 cm
[Given, the perimeter of a rectangle is 24 cm.]
2l + 2(4) = 24 cm
[Given, base is 10 cm.]
2l = 24 - 8 = 16 cm
[Simplify.]

9. The length of a rectangle is increased by 50% and the width is decreased


by 25%. How is its area affected?
a.

increases by 12.5%

b.

increases by 50%

c.

unchanged

d.

decreases by 25%

Solution:
Area of a rectangle = l b
[Formula.]
If length is increased by 50%, then the new length is l + 50 / 100l
= l + 12l = 32l
If width is decreased by 25%, then the new width is b - 25 / 100b
= b - 14b = 34b
New area of a rectangle = 3 / 2l 3 / 4b
= 98(lb) = 1.125 (lb)
[Simplify.]

Increase in area = 1.125 (lb) - (lb) = 0.125 (lb)

/20 m

d.
45/

Solution:
Let r1 and r2 be the radii of outer and inner circles.
Circumference of the outer circle, 2r 1 = 130 m.
r1 = 65/
[Divide each side by 2.]
Circumference of the inner circle, 2r 2 = 90 m.
r2 = 45/
[Divide each side by 2.]
= 20/ m.
The difference between their radii = 65/ - 45/

31. If the diameter of a circle is increased by 80%, by what percent will its
circumference increase?
a.

85%

b.

80%

c.

70%

d.

90%

Solution:
Let d be the diameter of the circle.
The circumference of the circle = d.
The diameter of a circle is increased by 80%.
The new diameter of the circle = (1 + 0.8) d = 1.8d
The new circumference of the circle = 1.8d = 1.8 d
The circumference of the circle is increased by 80%.

32. If the radius of the circle is decreased by 30%, by what percent will its
circumference decrease?
a.

30%

b.

65%

c.

55%

d.

60%

Solution:
Let r be the radius of the circle.
The radius of a circle is decreased by 30%.
The new radius of the circle = (1 - 0.3) x r = 0.7r
Circumference of the circle = 2r
The new circumference of the circle = 2 x x 0.7r
= 0.7 x 2r
= (1 - 0.3) x 2r
So, the circumference of the circle is decreased by 30%.

33. If the radius of a circle is increased by 30%, by what percent will its area
increase?
a.

64%

b.

69%

c.

30%

d.

74%

Solution:
Let r be the radius of the circle.
Area of the circle = r2
Radius of the circle is increased by 30%.
The radius of the new circle = (1+ 0.30) r = 1.30r
The new area of the circle = r2
= x (1.30r)2
[Substitute r = 1.30r.]
= 1.69(r2)
The area of the circle is increased by 69%.

34. If the area of a circle is decreased by 70%, by about what percent will its
radius decrease?
a.

41%

b.

70%

c.

46%

d.

51%

Solution:
Let r be the radius of the circle.
Area of the circle = r2
The new area of the circle = (1 - 0.70)r 2

= 0.30 x r2
= (0.54r)2
[Approximately 0.30 = 0.54.]
The radius of the circle is decreased by 46%.

35. A circular cake is cut into equal pieces in such a way that each piece
makes an angle of 45o at the center. Find the number of pieces.
a.

10

b.

c.

d.

12

Solution:
The complete angle at the center of a circle is 360 o.
Number of pieces = complete angle / angle subtended by each piece at the center.
= 360o/45o
[Substitute the values.]
The total number of pieces that are cut from the cake is 8.
