Geometry - Grade 7


1. A certain rectangle is 3 inches by 5 inches. How many square inches bigger is a rectangle with dimensions 10% more compared to a rectangle with dimensions 10% less?


2. How many times bigger is the circle compared to the square formed with radii of the circle?



3. All triangles in the figure are equilateral, and their side lengths are whole numbers multiples of the smallest triangles. How many of the smallest triangles will it take to cover the entire figure?


4. A net for a cube is pictured. How many different (non-congruent) nets for a given cube are possible. [Warning: Not all possible arrangements of 6 squares form nets.]


5. The rectangle has an area of 108 square meters and a perimeter of 48 meters. How many meters is its longest dimension?

6. The over-crowded school puts all the students in one classroom that is 30 feet by 30 feet by 10 feet. Each student takes up 5 cubic feet, and there is no extra room for anyone else. How many students are in the school?
