Sample questions

1. What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 5 cm and width 3 cm?

   1. 8 cm
   2. 16 cm
   3. 10 cm
   4. 12 cm
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 16 cm

   The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by the formula P = 2(length + width). So, P = 2(5 + 3) = 16 cm.

2. What is the perimeter of a pentagon with each side measuring 5 cm?

   1. 25 cm
   2. 20 cm
   3. 15 cm
   4. 30 cm
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 25 cm

   The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of all its sides. For a pentagon with each side measuring 5 cm: 5 × 5 = 25 cm.

3. Find the area of a triangle with a base of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm.

   1. 25 cm²
   2. 50 cm²
   3. 15 cm²
   4. 30 cm²
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 25 cm²

   The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula A = 1/2 × base × height. Thus, A = 1/2 × 10 × 5 = 25 cm².

4. If a rectangular plot has a width of 15 m and a length of 25 m, find the perimeter of the plot.

   1. 70 m
   2. 80 m
   3. 90 m
   4. 100 m
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 80 m

5. How much fencing is required to enclose a rectangular playground whose dimensions are 12 m by 14 m?

   1. 52 m
   2. 60 m
   3. 48 m
