The length and breadth of play ground are 36 m and 21 m respectively. Flag staffs are required to be fixed on all along the boundary at a distance of 3 m part. The number of flag staffs will be___________?
Correct answer: B. 38
- A. 37
- B. 38
- C. 39
- D. 40
Explanation
The playground perimeter is 2(36 m + 21 m) = 114 m. At a spacing of 3 m, the number of equal boundary intervals, and therefore flag staffs on a closed boundary, is 114 m ÷ 3 m = 38. Students may choose 37 by forgetting that the boundary is closed and the final interval returns to the starting point.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
