● Understanding how to find the cost of fencing a rectangular park by calculating its perimeter.

7. Tutor points:
● Focus on the question number and mention it.
● Read the question statement.
● Covey that this question can be asked for 2 marks.
● Convey that it is an NCERT textbook question
● Write and explain the solution.

Length (l) of the rectangular park = 175 m

Breadth (b) of the rectangular park = 125 m

Perimeter of the rectangular park

= 2(l + b)
= 2(175 + 125)
= 2 × 300
= 600 m

Cost of fencing the rectangular park is ₹12 per metre.

⇒ Cost of fencing the entire rectangular park = ₹12 × 600 = ₹7200

Area of the carpet = l × b = 30.75 × 0.8 = 24.6 m^2

Cost of the carpet is ₹150 per square metre.

⟹ Cost of the entire carpet = ₹150 ×24.6 m2 = ₹3690

Q. What is the difference between a polygon and a regular polygon?

A. A polygon is a simple closed two-dimensional figure with at
least 3 straight sides or line segments. A regular polygon is a
type of polygon with equal side lengths and equal angles.
For example: In a rectangle, all sides are not equal. Hence it
is a polygon whereas in a square all sides are equal, so they
are regular polygons.

Teacher Activity
Core concepts
● Perimeters of a square and a rectangle

TS Q07:Sweety runs around a square park of side 75 m. Bulbul runs around a rectangular park with length 60 m
and breadth 45 m. Who covers less distance?

Knowledge points/Learning evidence:

● Finding perimeters of a square and a recatngle

44. Tutor points:

● Focus on the question number and mention it.
● Read the question statement.
● Covey that this question can be asked for 3 marks.
● Convey that it is an NCERT textbook question.
● Write and explain the solution.

Sweety runs around a square park of side 75 m

⇒ The distance covered by Sweety = 4 × 75 m = 300 m
 Bulbul runs around a rectangular park with length 60 m and breadth
45 m
⇒ The distance covered by Bulbul = 2(60 m + 45 m) = 2 × 105 m =
210 m

Connect:
The final step in the solution is …

45. Tutor points:

● Write and explain the solution.

As 300 m > 210 m, therefore, Bulbul covers less distance.
