C. Equal
15. The area of a rectangle of length 30 cm and breadth 4 cm is ———–
A. 34 cm
B. 120 sq. cm
C. 240 sq. cm
ANSWERS:
1. Surface Area
2. Volume
3. l x b x h
4. Half
5. 41 sq cm
(Area = 10 x 8.2 /2 = 41 sq cm)
6. 30 cm
(Length of one diagonal = 16 cm
Area of the rhombus = 240
Therefore, length of other diagonal = 240 x 2/16 = 30)
7. 64 cu cm
(Volume = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64)
8. Capacity
9. Litres
10. 11 cm
(Volume of a cuboid = Base area x Height
Height = Volume /Base area = 275/ 25 = 11 cm)
11. Squares
12. 36 cu cm
(Volume = l x b x h = 12 x 3 x 1 = 36)
13. 1000 L
14. Identical
15. 120 sq cm
(Area = l x b = 30 x 4 = 120 sq cm)
