Q3 of 59 Page 77

Write the following ratios in the reduced form.

i. Radius to the diameter of a circle.


ii. The ratio of diagonal to the length of a rectangle, having length 4 cm and breadth 3 cm.


iii. The ratio of perimeter to area of a square, having side 4 cm.

(i) Let r be the radius of the circle.


Let d be the diameter of the circle.


Diameter = 2 × Radius


Ratio of radius to diameter in the reduced form = Radius:Diameter



Ratio of radius to diameter in the reduced form = 1:2


(ii) Given: Length of rectangle = l = 4 cm


Breadth of rectangle = b = 3 cm


Diagonal of rectangle = √(l2 + b2)


= √(16 + 9)


= √25 = 5


Diagonal of rectangle = 5 cm


Ratio of diagonal to the length of a rectangle = 4:5


(iii) Given: Side of square = 4 cm


Perimeter of square = 4 × Side = 4 × 4 = 16 cm2


Area of the square = (Side)2 = (4)2 = 14 cm2


The ratio of perimeter to area of a square = 16:14 = 8:7
