Rectangle shapes area all around us. It is one of the simplest 2D shapes with four sides. Opposite sides of the rectangle are equal and parallel.
All the internal angles in a rectangle are right angles, which means that each
angle in a rectangle measures 90°. It is a simple quadrilateral with two dimensions
length and width.
For the rectangle ABCD shown above,
It has four right angles.
Opposite sides are equal, so AB = CD, AD = BC.
AB is parallel to CD and AD is parallel to BC.
Diagonals: A rectangle has two diagonals that are equal in length and intersect in the centre.
For the above rectangle ABCD, AC and BD are the diagonals with AC = BD.
Perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a rectangle. Let us look at the figure shown below to understand how to work out the perimeter of a rectangle,
Here,
l is the length of the rectangle, and w is its width.
Perimeter of rectangle = Sum of all the sides of rectangle
=l + w + l + w
=2l + 2w
=2(l + w)
Area of a rectangle is equal to its product of length and width. Area is always measured in square units.
Area of rectangle = Length × Width
= l × w
We can use the above formulas to find the perimeter and area of any rectangle using its length and width. Let us use this formula and try to solve some example questions.
The plan shown below is of a garden. There is a 2 m wide path around
The edge of the garden, with a swimming pool inside the path.
Work out the perimeter of :
a) Garden
b) Pool
Solution :
a) Garden is the outer rectangular shape shown in the plan
Length of the rectangular garden l =15 m
Width of the rectangular garden w =12 m
Perimeter of rectangle =2(l+ w)
Perimeter of rectangular garden =2(15+12)
=227
=54 m
b) Pool is the inner rectangular shape shown in the plan
Pool is 2 m wider from the garden.
Length of the rectangular pool l =15 -(2+2)=11 m
Width of the rectangular pool w =12-(2+2)=8 m
Perimeter of rectangle =2(l + w)
Perimeter of rectangular pool =2(11+8)
=219
=38 m
Work out the area of the shaded rectangle in the figure shown below
Solution :
Length of the shaded rectangle l =12 cm - 4 cm = 8 cm
Width of the shaded rectangle w = 7 cm
Area of a rectangle = l × w
Area of the shaded rectangle = 87 = 56 cm²
What counts as a "good" score will vary depending on the school you want to attend. The standardized 11 Plus test score average across the country is roughly 100. The highest average in some areas is 111. The lowest scores would often fall between 60 and 70, while the highest scores would normally fall between 130 and 140.
