Sample questions

1. A rectangle has a length of 10 cm and a width of 5 cm. What is its perimeter?

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

   Answer: A. 30 cm

   The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as 2 times the sum of its length and width. Therefore, perimeter = 2 * (10 + 5) = 30 cm.

2. The perimeter of a rectangular field is 60 meters. If the length is 18 meters, what is the width?

   1. 12 meters
   2. 15 meters
   3. 10 meters
   4. 9 meters
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 12 meters

   The perimeter P of a rectangle is given by P = 2 * (length + width). With a perimeter of 60 and length of 18, solve for width: 60 = 2 * (18 + width). Hence, width = 12 meters.

3. What is the area of a rectangle with dimensions 16 cm x 5 cm?

   1. 80 square cm
   2. 30 square cm
   3. 25 square cm
   4. 100 square cm
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 80 square cm

   The area of a rectangle is given by length multiplied by width. Area = 16 * 5 = 80 square cm.

4. Find the border length needed for a square garden with a side of 15 meters.

   1. 60 meters
   2. 65 meters
   3. 55 meters
   4. 70 meters
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 60 meters

   The perimeter of a square is calculated as 4 times one side. Therefore, perimeter = 4 * 15 = 60 meters.

5. A triangle has a base of 14 cm and a height of 10 cm. What is its area?

   1. 70 square cm
   2. 140 square cm
   3. 35 square cm
   4. 28 square cm
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 70 square cm

   Area of a triangle is (base * height) / 2. Substituting values, Area = (14 * 10) / 2 = 70 square cm.
