What is the area of a square with side length 5 cm?

  1. 25 cm^2

  2. 10 cm^2

  3. 20 cm^2

  4. 15 cm^2


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The area of a square is given by the formula A = s^2, where s is the length of a side. In this case, s = 5 cm, so A = 5^2 = 25 cm^2.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 8 cm and width 6 cm?

  1. 28 cm

  2. 14 cm

  3. 22 cm

  4. 18 cm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2(l + w), where l is the length and w is the width. In this case, l = 8 cm and w = 6 cm, so P = 2(8 + 6) = 2(14) = 28 cm.

A triangle has sides of length 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm. What is its perimeter?

  1. 12 cm

  2. 14 cm

  3. 16 cm

  4. 18 cm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula P = a + b + c, where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides. In this case, a = 3 cm, b = 4 cm, and c = 5 cm, so P = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 cm.

A circle has a radius of 7 cm. What is its area?

  1. 147 cm^2

  2. 154 cm^2

  3. 161 cm^2

  4. 168 cm^2


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius. In this case, r = 7 cm, so A = π(7)^2 = 154 cm^2.

A rectangular garden has a length of 10 m and a width of 8 m. If a fence is built around the garden, what is the total length of the fence?

  1. 36 m

  2. 44 m

  3. 52 m

  4. 60 m


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The total length of the fence is equal to the perimeter of the garden. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2(l + w), where l is the length and w is the width. In this case, l = 10 m and w = 8 m, so P = 2(10 + 8) = 2(18) = 36 m.

A square has an area of 36 cm^2. What is the length of each side?

  1. 6 cm

  2. 8 cm

  3. 9 cm

  4. 10 cm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The area of a square is given by the formula A = s^2, where s is the length of a side. In this case, A = 36 cm^2, so s^2 = 36. Taking the square root of both sides, we get s = √36 = 6 cm.

A circle has a circumference of 22 cm. What is its radius?

  1. 3.5 cm

  2. 4.5 cm

  3. 5.5 cm

  4. 6.5 cm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius. In this case, C = 22 cm, so 2πr = 22. Dividing both sides by 2π, we get r = 22 / 2π ≈ 3.5 cm.

A triangular plot of land has sides of length 12 m, 15 m, and 18 m. What is its perimeter?

  1. 36 m

  2. 45 m

  3. 54 m

  4. 63 m


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula P = a + b + c, where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides. In this case, a = 12 m, b = 15 m, and c = 18 m, so P = 12 + 15 + 18 = 45 m.

A rectangular room has a length of 9 m and a width of 6 m. What is its area?

  1. 42 m^2

  2. 54 m^2

  3. 66 m^2

  4. 78 m^2


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula A = l * w, where l is the length and w is the width. In this case, l = 9 m and w = 6 m, so A = 9 * 6 = 54 m^2.

A circle has an area of 1256 cm^2. What is its radius?

  1. 14 cm

  2. 16 cm

  3. 18 cm

  4. 20 cm


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius. In this case, A = 1256 cm^2, so πr^2 = 1256. Dividing both sides by π, we get r^2 = 1256 / π ≈ 400. Taking the square root of both sides, we get r ≈ 20 cm.

A square has a perimeter of 40 cm. What is the length of each side?

  1. 8 cm

  2. 10 cm

  3. 12 cm

  4. 14 cm


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The perimeter of a square is given by the formula P = 4s, where s is the length of a side. In this case, P = 40 cm, so 4s = 40. Dividing both sides by 4, we get s = 40 / 4 = 10 cm.

A rectangular garden has a length of 15 m and a width of 10 m. If a fence is built around the garden, what is the total area of the fence?

  1. 90 m^2

  2. 100 m^2

  3. 110 m^2

  4. 120 m^2


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The total area of the fence is equal to the area of the rectangle plus the area of the four sides of the fence. The area of the rectangle is given by the formula A = l * w, where l is the length and w is the width. In this case, l = 15 m and w = 10 m, so A = 15 * 10 = 150 m^2. The area of the four sides of the fence is given by the formula A = 2(l + w) * h, where h is the height of the fence. In this case, l = 15 m, w = 10 m, and h = 2 m, so A = 2(15 + 10) * 2 = 2(25) * 2 = 100 m^2. Therefore, the total area of the fence is 150 + 100 = 250 m^2.

A triangular plot of land has sides of length 20 m, 25 m, and 30 m. What is its area?

  1. 275 m^2

  2. 300 m^2

  3. 325 m^2

  4. 350 m^2


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by the formula A = √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c), where s is the semiperimeter and a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides. In this case, s = (20 + 25 + 30) / 2 = 37.5 m. Therefore, A = √37.5(37.5 - 20)(37.5 - 25)(37.5 - 30) = √37.5 * 17.5 * 12.5 * 7.5 = 300 m^2.

A circle has a circumference of 56.52 cm. What is its area?

  1. 254.47 cm^2

  2. 274.87 cm^2

  3. 295.27 cm^2

  4. 315.67 cm^2


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius. In this case, C = 56.52 cm, so 2πr = 56.52. Dividing both sides by 2π, we get r = 56.52 / 2π ≈ 9 cm. Therefore, the area of the circle is given by the formula A = πr^2 = π(9)^2 ≈ 274.87 cm^2.

A rectangular room has a length of 12 m and a width of 8 m. If a carpet is laid on the floor of the room, what is the area of the carpet?

  1. 72 m^2

  2. 84 m^2

  3. 96 m^2

  4. 108 m^2


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The area of the carpet is equal to the area of the floor of the room. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula A = l * w, where l is the length and w is the width. In this case, l = 12 m and w = 8 m, so A = 12 * 8 = 96 m^2.
