10.
The shape of a garden is rectangular in the middle and semi-circular at the ends as shown in the diagram. Find the area and the perimeter of this garden. Length of rectangle is 20- (3.5+ 3.5) m.
1.
Volume of a cuboid = Length \(\times\) Breadth \(\times\) Height
Here, Length of the cuboid = 50 cm
Breadth of the cuboid = 45 cm
Height of the cuboid = 30 cm
\(\therefore\) Volume of the cuboid = 50 x 45 x 30 cm3
Volume of the small cube = Side \(\times\) Side \(\times\) Side = 5 \(\times\) 5 \(\times\) 5 cm3
Let the number of the required small cubes be x
\(\therefore\)x\(\times\) (5 \(\times\) 5 \(\times\) 5) = 50 \(\times\) 45 \(\times\) 30
\(\Rightarrow x=\frac{50\times45\times30}{5\times5\times5}=10\times9\times6=540\)
Thus, 540 small cubes can be placed in the given cuboid.
2.
A road roller is a cylinder such that Radius \(\frac{84}{2}\ cm=42\ cm\)
Length (h) = 1m = 100 cm
\(\because\) Lateral surface area of a cylinder = 2\(\pi\)rh
\(\therefore\) Lateral surface area of the road roller \(=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times 42\times 100\ cm^2\)
\(=2\times 22\times 6\times 100\ cm^2\)
\(\therefore\) Area of road levelled in 1 revolution = 26400 cm2
\(\Rightarrow\) Area of road levelled in 250 revolutions
\(=250\times 26400\ cm^2=\frac{250\times26400}{100\times100}m^2\)
\(=\frac{25\times264}{10}m^2=\frac{6600}{10}m^2=660 m^2\)
3.
Here, Radius (r) = 7 cm
Height (h) = 5 cm
Since, total surface area of the closed cylinder = 2\(\pi\)r (r + h)
\(\therefore\) Total surface area of the cylindrical tank
\(=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times(7)\times(7+5)m^2\)
\(2\times22\times12 m^2=528\ m^2\)
Let length of the sheet required be'l' m
\(\therefore\) Area of the rectangular sheet = I x 10 m2
\(\Rightarrow l\times 10=528\Rightarrow l=\frac{528}{10}m=52.8 m\)
Thus, the required length of the sheet = 52.8 m.
4.
The edge (side) of the given cube = 2 cm
Since, three such cubes are joined, then
Total length (/)= (2 + 2 + 2) cm = 6 cm
Breadth (b) = 2 cm
Height (h) = 2 cm
\(\therefore\) Total surface area of the resultant cuboid

= 2[lb + bh + hI]
= 2[6 x 2 + 2 x 2 + 2 x 6] cm2
= 2[12 + 4 + 12] cm2
= 2[28] cm2 = 56 cm2
Thus, the required total surface area of the cuboid = 56 cm2.
5.
Here, side of the square = 6 cm
\(\therefore\) Area of the square = Side x Side
= 6 cm x 6 cm = 36 cm2
Since, [Area of the rhombus]
= [Area of the square]
\(\therefore\) Area of the rhombus = 36 cm2
One of the diagonal of the rhombus = 4 cm
Let the other diagonal of the rhombus be
\(\therefore\) Area of rhombus
\(\therefore\frac{1}{2}\times Product \ of\ the\ diagonals\)
\(\therefore\) Area of the rhombus \(=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times d\)
Now, \(\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times d=36\Rightarrow d=\frac{36\times 2}{4}=18\)
Thus, the required length of the rhombus = 18 cm.
6.
Let the length of the diagonal BD be x cm
\(\because\) Area of a quadrilateral \(=\frac{1}{2}\times(diagonal)\times\) (Sum of the length of perpendiculars on the diagonal from the opposite vertices)
\(\therefore\) Area of the quadrilateral ABCD
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times BD\times(AP+CQ)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times x\ cm\times(4.5\ cm+3.5\ cm)\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times x\times 8\ cm^2\)
Since area of the quadrilateral ABCD = 32 cm2
\(\therefore \frac{1}{2}x\times 8=32\Rightarrow x=\frac{32\times2}{8}\ cm=8\ cm\)
Thus, the required length of the diagonal BD = 8 cm.
7.
Here, parallel sides are 25 cm and 15 cm.
Height (i.e. distance between the parallel sides) = 12 cm
\(\because\) Area of a trapezium ABCD
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times(Sum\ of\ parallel\ sides)\times \ Height\)
\(\therefore\) Area of the trapezium ABCD
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times(25\ cm+15\ cm)\times12\ cm\)
\(=\frac{1}{2}\times40\times12\ cm^2=240\ cm^2\)
Thus, the required area of the trapezium ABCD = 240 cm2.
8.
Let ABCDE be a given pentagonal shaped park.
Given, length of each side of regular peatagon = 15 m
Now, Jyoti divide it into two congruent trapeziums by joining DP, where P is the mid-point of AB. Here, AE and DP are parallel sides and AP is perpendicular distance.
Given, length of DP = 30 m
and length of AP = \(\frac { AB }{ 2 } =\frac { 15 }{ 2 } m\)
∴ Area of pentagonal park ABCDE
= 2 \(\times\)Area of trapezium APDE
[∵ both trapeziums are congruent, so their area will be same]
= 2\(\times\) [\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)\(\times\)sum of parallel sides \(\times\) perpendicular distance between parallel sides]
\(2\times \left[ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times (30+15)\times \frac { 15 }{ 2 } \right] =2\times \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times 45\times \frac { 15 }{ 2 } \)
\(\frac { 45\times 15 }{ 2 } =\frac { 675 }{ 2 } \) = 337.5 m2
Now, Kavita divide it into two parts by joining EC our of which one is ΔDEC and other is a square ABCE
Then, altitude of ΔDEC = DQ = 30 m-15 m = 15 m
∴ Area of pentagon ABCDE
= Area of ΔDEC + Area of square ABCE
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)\(\times\)EC \(\times\)DQ+AB \(\times\)BC
=\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) \(\times\)15 \(\times\)15 +15\(\times\) 15
= \(\frac { 225 }{ 2 } +225=\frac { 225+450 }{ 2 } =\frac { 675 }{ 2 } \) =337.5 m2
Hence,area of park using both ways is serve, i.e. 337.5 m2
Yes,we can find the area of pentagonal park to two another ways by drawing the figure given below and then find its area:
9.
(a)Here, the food-piece is in the shape of semi-circle and diameter of semi-circle = 2.8 cm
∴ Radius of semi circle = \(\frac { Diameter }{ 2 } =\frac { 2.8 }{ 2 } \) = 1.4cm
Perimeter of a semi- circle = \(\frac { 2\pi r }{ 2 } =\pi r\)
∴ Perimeter of given food-piece =\(\pi\) r+ Diameter of semi circle
= \(\left( \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 1.4+2.8 \right) \)cm=(4.4+2.8)cm =7.2 cm
(b)Here, given piece of food has semi-circular shape in one side.
So perimeter od semi-circular part
\(\pi r=\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 1.4\) =4.4 cm \(\left[ \because radius\quad =\frac { 2.8 }{ 2 } =1.4cm \right] \)
∴ Perimeter of given food piece
= 4.4 cm + 1.5 cm + 2.8 cm + 1.5 cm = 10.2 cm
(c)Here, given piece of food has semi-circular shape on the upper side.
So, perimeter of semi-circular part = \(\pi\)r
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 1.4\) =4.4 cm
∴ Perimeter of given food-piece
= 4.4 cm + 2 cm + 2 cm = 8.4 cm
Now 10.2> 8.4> 7.2
So, it is clear that, the ant would has to take a longer round for food-piece in figure (b), since it has larger perimeter.
10.
Given, the shape of a garden is rectangular in middle and semi-circular at both ends.
Also, diameter of circular part = 7 m
∴ Radius of circular part = \(\frac { 7 }{ 2 } \)= 3.5 m
Then, length of rectangular part = 20m -(3.5+3.5)m and breadth of rectangular part = 7 m
Now,area of one semi-circular part = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { \pi r }^{ 2 }\)
where, r is the radius of semi-circle.
∴ Area of both semi-circular parts = \(2\times \frac { 1 }{ 2 } { \pi r }^{ 2 }={ \pi r }^{ 2 }\)
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \left( \frac { 7 }{ 2 } \right) ^{ 2 }\) \(\left[ \because \pi =\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \right] \)
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \frac { 49 }{ 7 } =\frac { 77 }{ 2 } \) m2
Area of rectangular part = Length \(\times\) Breadth
= 13m\(\times\) 7m = 91m2
∴ Area of garden = Area of both circular parts + Area of rectangular part
=\(\frac { 77 }{ 2 } \) + 91 m2
=\(\left( \frac { 77+182 }{ 2 } \right) { m }^{ 2 }\)= 129.5 m2
Now, Perimeter of one semi-circle part = \(\frac { 2\pi r }{ 2 } =\pi r\)
∴ Perimeter of both semi-circle parts = \(2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \frac { 7 }{ 2 } \) =22m
Here, rectangular part is in between two semi-circular parts, so for perimeter of garden, we will take only length of rectangular part.
∴ Perimeter of garden = Perimeter of both circular parts + 22 \(\times\) Length of rectangular part
= 22 + 2 \(\times\)13 = (22+26) m = 48m
