SSC CGL 2020 Study Material – Formulas of Area and Perimeter
| Figure | Area | Perimeter |
| Circle –
: |
= pi × r2 or = (pi × d2) / 4 |
= 2 × pi × r or = pi × d |
| Square -:
|
= s2 |
= s + s + s + s = 4 × s |
| Rectangle -:
|
= l × w |
= l + l + w + w = 2 × l + 2 × w |
| Triangle -:
|
= (b × h) / 2 |
= a + b + c |
| Parallelogram -:
|
= b × h |
= a + a + b + b = 2 × a + 2 × b |
| Rhombus -:
|
= b × h |
= b + b + b + b = 4 × b |
| Trapezoid -:
|
= (a + b) / 2 × h |
= a + b + c + d |
SSC CGL 2020 Study Material – Sample Questions
SSC CGL 2020 Study Material – Question 1
Q) The perimeters of two squares are 40 cm and 32 cm. Find the perimeter of a third square whose area is equal to the difference of the areas of the two squares.
(a) 4 cm
(b) 6 cm
(c) 24 cm
(d) 30 cm
Answer: Option (c) – 24cm
Side of first square = (40/4) cm ⇒ 10 cm;
Side of second square = (32/4) cm ⇒ 8 cm.
Area of third square = [(10)2 – (8)2] cm2 ⇒ (100 – 64) cm2 ⇒ 36 cm2.
Side of the third square ⇒ 36 cm ⇒ 6 cm.
So, Required perimeter = (6 × 4) cm ⇒ 24 cm.

SSC CGL 2020 Study Material – Question 3
Q) A copper wire is bent in the form of a square with an area of 121 cm. If the same wire is bent in the form of a circle, the radius (in cm) of the circle is (Take π = 22/7)
(a) 7 cm
(b) 10 cm
(c) 11 cm
(d) 14 cm
Answer – Option (a) – 7cm
Side of square = 121 = 11 cm
∴ Length of wire = 4 × 11 = 44 cm
∴ 2πr = 44
⇒ 2 × 22/7 × r = 44
⇒ r = 44 × 7/2 × 22 = 7 cm

SSC CGL 2020 Study Material – Question 4
Q) The width of a rectangular hall is 3/4th of its length. If the area of the hall is 300 sq.m, then the difference between its length and width is:
(a) 3 m
(b) 4 m
(c) 5 m
(d) 15 m
Answer = Option (c) – 5 m
SSC CGL 2020 Study Material – Question 5
Q) The lengths of two parallel sides of a trapezium are 6 cm and 8 cm. If the height of the trapezium be 4 cm, then its area is.
(a) 28 sq.cm
(b) 30 sq.cm
(c) 32 sq.cm
(d) 26 sq.cm
Answer = Option (a) – 28sq.cm
Area of trapezium = 1/2 × (Sum of parallel sides) × (Perpendicular distance)
= 1/2(6 + 8) × 4
= 1/2 × 14 × 4 = 28 sq. cm
