Main Concepts and Results
- Length of boundary of a simple closed figure is known as perimeter.
- Area is the measure of region enclosed in a simple closed curve.
- Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth).
- Area of a rectangle = length × breadth.
- Perimeter of a square = 4 × side.
- Area of a square = side × side
- Area of a triangle = 1 /2 × Base × Corresponding Height
- Area of a parallelogram = Base × Corresponding Height.
- Area of a circle = r² , where r is the radius.
- Area of a trapezium = 1 /2 × (Sum of parallel sides) × Height.
- Area of a rhombus = 1 /2 × Product of diagonals.
- Lateral surface area of a cube = 4 (side)².
- Total surface area of a cube = 6 (side)².
- Lateral surface area of a cuboid = 2 × height × (length + breadth).
- Total surface area of a cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl).
- Lateral (curved) surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh.
- Total surface area of a cylinder = 2πr (r + h), where r is the radius and h is the height.
- Amount of space occupied by a solid is called its volume.
- Volume of a cube = (side)³.
- Volume of a cuboid = length × breadth × height.
- Volume of a cylinder = πr²h.
- 1cm³ = 1ml
- 1L = 1000 cm³.
- 1m³= 10,00,000 cm³ = 1,000 L.

1. Rashid has decided to build a swimming pool as shown in the figure on an empty plot 25 metres long and 15 metres wide. He is discussing with his son Majid about his plan to build the pool, put tiles on the bottom of the pool and other requirements of the pool. Can you help Majid to answer the following questions which his father has asked in the discussion?
1. What is the surface area of the pool?
2. If Rashid plans to cover the bottom and sides of the pool with square
tiles having side 25 cm, how many such tiles will be required?
3. If each tile costs Rs 40, how much will be the total cost?
4. A local digging company charges at the rate of Rs 150/- per cubic
metre. How much Rashid has to pay for digging the swimming pool?
[Hint : Volume = base area × height]
