What is a 2D figure?
1. What can you use to make the belt for the elephant?
2. How long and wide should the paper sheet be?
3. What is the belt used for?
4. How is the loop made without cutting the strips?
What is Area?
• The space enclosed by a plane figure is referred to as its area (2 Dimensional shapes).
• Square units are used to measure area.
• The area of a plane figure is the number of squares required to completely cover it. Example: The
area of the square given below will be the number of squares of the unit side required to
completely cover the square.
Example : No of pink sheets required to completely cover yellow sheet will be 18/3 = 6
Question 1. If the length of the board is 12 cm and the breadth is 10 cm and we want to cover the board
with square sheets. The side of the square sheet is 2 cm. How many sheets are required to cover the
board?
What is Perimeter?
Question 2. It is known that the area of a square is 81 cm 2. Find the perimeter of the square.
Solution: Area =81 cm2
Area = side × side
⇒ 81= (a)2
⇒ (9)2 = (a)2
⇒ 9 cm = a
⇒ Perimeter = 4 × side
⇒ Perimeter = 4 × 9
⇒ Perimeter = 36 cm
Answer. The perimeter of the given square is 36 cm.
Units
• A unit of measurement is a definite magnitude of a quantity that is adopted by law and is used as a
standard for measuring the same type of quantity.
• We measure the perimeter of any figure in mm, cm, m, or km.
• We measure the area of any figure in mm square, cm square, m square, or km square.
Units Abbreviation
Millimeter/millimeters mm
Centimeter/centimeters cm
Meter/meters m
Kilometer/kilometers km
Square meter m2
Scale of drawing
Let’s find the length and breadth of the garden on the ground. Length will be 6 x 100 m = 600
m.
Observe that both of them have different areas (Area of Rectangle A = 18 square units whereas Area of
Rectangle B is 20 square units)
• The two shapes having the same perimeter can have different areas.
• Similarly, two shapes having the same areas can have different perimeters.
Question 3. Take a sheet of paper with a length of 14 cm and a breadth of 5 cm. Now cut this sheet into
5 equal rectangles. Find the area of each smaller rectangle.
Solution: Area of a sheet of length 14 cm and breadth 5 cm = Sum of the area of five equal rectangles
6. How much land did Cheggu want, and what was its area?
9. How much land did Cheggu take, and how much gold wire did Anar get?
Solution: After colouring and counting we observe that the total area of the figure will be (3+7+1) square
units = 11 square units.
Practice Questions
Question 1. Umang plans to tile his kitchen floor with grey square tiles. Each side of the tile is 10 cm. His
kitchen is 200 cm in length and 150 cm wide. How many tiles will he need?
