Q1. Find the area of a rectangle with length 18 cm and breadth 12 cm.
Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth
Area = 18 × 12
= 216 cm²
Answer: 216 cm²
Q2. Find the circumference of a circle with radius 7 cm. Use π = 22/7.
Circumference of a circle = 2πr
Circumference = 2 × 22/7 × 7
= 44 cm
Answer: 44 cm
Q3. Find the volume of a cube with side 6 cm.
Volume of a cube = Side³
Volume = 6³
= 6 × 6 × 6
= 216 cm³
Answer: 216 cm³
Q4. A cylindrical tank has a radius of 3 metres and a height of 7 metres. Find its volume. Use π = 22/7.
Volume of a cylinder = πr²h
Volume = 22/7 × 3² × 7
= 22/7 × 9 × 7
= 22 × 9
= 198 m³
Answer: 198 m³
Q5. The side of a square increases by 20%. Find the percentage increase in its area.
Let the original side of the square be 1 unit.
New side after a 20% increase = 1.2 units
New area factor = 1.2²
= 1.44
Increase in area = 1.44 − 1
= 0.44
= 44%
Answer: 44% increase
Quiz Summary
Important Mensuration Formulas
Rectangle
- Area = Length × Breadth
- Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth)
Square
- Area = Side²
- Perimeter = 4 × Side
Circle
- Area = πr²
- Circumference = 2πr
Cylinder
- Volume = πr²h
- Curved surface area = 2πrh
- Total surface area = 2πr(r+h)
Cube
- Volume = a³
- Total surface area = 6a²
Cuboid
- Volume = lbh
- Total surface area = 2(lb+bh+hl)
Common Mistakes
- Confusing area and perimeter
- Using diameter as radius
- Forgetting square or cubic units
- Applying 2D formulas to 3D figures
- Missing percentage change in dimensions
