Q7End-of-Chapter Exercises
The village playground is shaped as a square of side 40 metres. A path of width metres is created around the playground for people to walk. Find an expression for the area of the path in terms of .
Solution
Given:
Side of the square playground = metres.
Width of the path around the playground = metres.
To Find:
An expression for the area of the path.
Solution:
The playground is a square. The path is around it. So, we have an outer square and an inner square.
Inner square side = side of playground = m.
Area of inner square = m.
The path of width is on all sides. So the side of the outer square will be the side of the inner square plus the width of the path on both sides.
Outer square side = m.
Area of outer square = m.
Area of the path = Area of outer square - Area of inner square.
Area of path = .
Using the identity :
Area of path =
Final Answer: The area of the path is square metres.

Q12End-of-Chapter Exercises
*12. By factoring the expression, check that is always divisible by 6 for all natural numbers . Give reasons.
Solution
To Check:
is always divisible by 6 for any natural number .
Solution:
First, let's factor the expression .
Using the identity , we get:
Rearranging the terms, we get:
Reasoning:
The expression represents the product of three consecutive integers.
- Divisibility by 2: In any set of three consecutive integers, at least one integer must be even (a multiple of 2). Therefore, their product is always divisible by 2.
- Divisibility by 3: In any set of three consecutive integers, exactly one integer must be a multiple of 3. Therefore, their product is always divisible by 3.
Since the product is divisible by both 2 and 3, and 2 and 3 are coprime, the product must be divisible by their product, which is .
Thus, is always divisible by 6 for all natural numbers .
Example:
- If , , which is divisible by 6.
- If , , which is divisible by 6.
- If , , which is divisible by 6.
- If , , which is divisible by 6.
