Is the area of your belt the same as the area of the postcard? Why or why not?

Question

Sum

Solution

Area of the belt of 3 cm wide strip = length x breadth

= 3 × 42

= 126 square cm

Yes, this is equal to the area of the postcard.

In fact, area of all the belts would be equal to the area of the postcard; because every part of the postcard is being used in making a belt.

The King was very happy with carpenters Cheggu and Anar. They had made a very big and beautiful bed for him. So as gifts the king wanted to give some land to Cheggu, and some gold to Anar. Cheggu was happy. He took 100 meters of wire and tried to make different rectangles.

He made a 10 m × 40 m rectangle. Its area was 400 square meters. So he next made a 30 m × 20 m rectangle.
