1.
Curved surface area = \(\pi\)rl
\(=\frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 10 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\)
= 220 cm2
2.
Here, h = 16 cm and r = 12 cm.
So, from l2 = h2 + r2, we have
\(l=\sqrt{16^{2}+12^{2}} \mathrm{~cm}=20 \mathrm{~cm}\)
So, curved surface area = \(\pi\)rl
= 3.14 x 12 x 20 cm2
= 753.6 cm2
Further, total surface area = \(\pi\)rl + \(\pi\)r2
= (753.6 + 3.14 x 12 x 12) cm2
= (753.6 + 452.16) cm2
= 1205.76 cm2
3.
Radius of the base of the cylindrical kaleidoscope (r) = 3.5 cm.
Height (length) of kaleidoscope (h) = 25 cm
Area of chart paper required = curved surface area of the kaleidoscope
= 2\(\pi\)rh
\(=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times 25 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\)
= 550 cm2
4.
Since Hameed is getting the five outer faces of the tank covered with tiles, he would need to know the surface area of the tank, to decide on the number of tiles required.
Edge of the cubical tank = 1.5 m = 150 cm (= a)
So, surface area of the tank = 5 x 150 x 150 cm2
Area of each square tile = side x side = 25 x 25 cm2
So, the number of tiles required \(=\frac{\text { surface area of the tank }}{\text { area of each tile }}\)
\(=\frac{5 \times 150 \times 150}{25 \times 25}=180\)
Cost of 1 dozen tiles, i.e., cost of 12 tiles = RS. 360
Therefore, cost of one tile \(=\text { RS. } \frac{360}{12}=\text { RS. } 30\)
So, the cost of 180 tiles = 180 x RS.30 = RS. 5400
5.
Since Mary wants to paste the paper on the outer surface of the box; the quantity of paper required would be equal to the surface area of the box which is of the shape of a cuboid. The dimensions of the box are:
Length =80 cm, Breadth = 40 cm, Height = 20 cm.
The surface area of the box = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2[(80 x 40) + (40 x 20) + (20 x 80)] cm2
= 2[3200 + 800 + 1600] cm2
= 2 x 5600 cm2 = 11200 cm2
The area of each sheet of the paper = 40 x 40 cm2
= 1600 cm2
Therefore, number of sheets required \(=\frac{\text { surface area of box }}{\text { area of one sheet of paper }}\)
\(=\frac{11200}{1600}=7\)
So, she would require 7 sheets
6.
(i) Each edge of the cubical box (a) = 10 cm
\(\therefore \) Lateral surface area of the cubical box
= 4a2 = 4(10)2 = 400 cm2.
For cuboidal box
l = 12.5 cm, b = 10 cm,
h = 8 cm
\(\therefore \) Lateral surface area of the cuboidal box
= 2(l + b)h
= 2(12.5 + 10)(8) = 360 cm2.
Cubical box has the greater lateral surface area than the cuboidal box by (400 - 360)cm2,
i.e., 40 cm2.
(ii) Total surface area of the cubical box = 6a2
= 6(10)2 = 600 cm2
Total surface area of the cuboidal box
= 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2[(12.5)(10) + (10)(8) + (8)(12.5)]
= 2[125 + 80 + 100] = 610 cm2.
Cubical box has the smaller total surface area than the cuboidal box by (610 - 600) cm2, i.e., 10 cm2.
7.
For a brick
l = 22.5 cm, b = 10 cm,
h = 7.5 cm
\(\therefore \) Total surface area of a brick
= 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 (22.5 \(\times\) 10 + 10 \(\times\) 7.5 + 7.5 \(\times\) 22.5)
= 2 (225 + 75 + 168.75)
= 2(468.75) = 937.5 cm2 = .09375 m2
\(\therefore \) Number of bricks that can be painted out
\(=\frac { 9.375 }{ .09375 } =100.\)
8.
Let the length, breadth and height of the rectangular hall be l m, b m and h m respectively.
Perimeter = 250 m
\(\Rightarrow\) 2(l + b) = 250
\(\Rightarrow\) l + b = 125 ...(1)
Area of the four walls
\(=\frac { 15000 }{ 10 } =1500\)m2
\(\Rightarrow\) 2(l + b)h = 1500
\(\Rightarrow\) (l + b)h = 750
\(\Rightarrow\) 125 h = 750 Using (1)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(h=\frac { 750 }{ 125 } \)
\(\Rightarrow\) h = 6 m
Hence, the height of the hall is 6 m.
9.
l = 5 m, b = 4 m,
h = 3 m
Area of the walls of the room = 2(l + b)h
= 2(5 + 4)3 = 54 m2
Area of the ceiling = lb
= (5) (4) = 20 m2
\(\therefore \) Total area of the walls of the room and the ceiling = 54 m2 + 20 m2 = 74 m2
\(\therefore \) Cost of white washing the walls of the room and the ceiling = 74 \(\times\) 7.50 = Rs 555.
10.
(i) l = 1.5 m, b = 1.25 m,
h = 65 cm = 0.65 m.
\(\therefore \) The area of the sheet required for making the box = lb + 2(bh + hl)
= (1.5)(1.25) + 2{(1.25)(0.65) + (0.65)(1.5)}
= 1.875 + 2{0.8125+0.975}
= 1.875 + 2(1.7875) = 1.875 + 3.575
= 5.45 m2.
(ii) The cost of sheet for it = Rs 5.45 \(\times\) 20
= Rs 109.
11.
Let the diameter of earth be d.
\(\therefore\) The radius of the earth will be r1=\(\frac { d }{ 2 } \)
Diameter of moon will be \(\frac { d }{ 4 } \) and radius of moon (r2)=\(\frac { d }{ 4 } \)
Volume of moon=\(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }_{ 2 }^{ 3 }\)
\(=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { \left( \frac { d }{ 8 } \right) }^{ 3 }\)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 512 } \times { \pi d }^{ 3 }\times \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \)
Volume of earth = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }_{ 1 }^{ 3 }\)
\(=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } p{ \left( \frac { d }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 3 }\)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 8 } \times \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { d }^{ 3 }\)
\(\frac { Volume\ of\ moon }{ Volume\ of\ earth } =\frac { \frac { 1 }{ 512 } \times { \pi d }^{ 2 }\times \frac { 4 }{ 3 } }{ \frac { 1 }{ 8 } \times \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { d }^{ 3 } } \)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 64 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \ Volume\ of\ moon=\frac { 1 }{ 64 } (Volume\ of\ earth)\)
\(\Rightarrow \ \frac { Volume\ of\ moon }{ volume\ of\ earth } =\frac { 64 }{ 1 } \)
12.
Let radius of the base be r cm.
Given, volume of a cone = 1570 cm3
\(\Rightarrow \ \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 2 }h=1570[\because volume\ of\ a\ cone=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 2 }h]\)
\(\Rightarrow \ \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times 3.14\times { r }^{ 2 }\times 15=1570\)
\(\Rightarrow \ { r }^{ 2 }=\frac { 1570 }{ 3.14\times 5 } =\frac { 15700 }{ 157 } \)
\(\Rightarrow\) r = 10 cm
Hence, radius of the base is 10 cm.
13.
(i) Given, radius (r) = 6 cm and height (h) = 7 cm
\(\because\) Volume of the right circular cone =\(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 2 }h\)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { (6) }^{ 2 }\times 7=\frac { 22 }{ 3 } \times 6\times 6\)
\(=22\times 12=264{ cm }^{ 3 }\)
(ii) 154 cm3
14.
Given, diameter = 50 cm
\(\therefore\) Radius (r) = \(\frac { 50 }{ 2\times 100 } =0.25\quad m\quad \left[ \because 1cm=\frac { 1 }{ 100 } m \right] \)
and height (h) = 3.5 m
Curved surface area of the pillar = 2\(\pi\)rh
= 2 x \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \) x 0.25 x 3.5 = 2 x 22 x 0.25 x 0.5 = 55 m2
Now, cost of painting per m2 = Rs 12.50
\(\therefore\) Cost of painting 5.5 m2 = 12.50 x 5.5 = Rs 68. 75
15.
Thickness of bowl = 0.25 cm
Inner radius of bowl = 5 cm
\(\therefore\) Outer radius of bowl
= 5 cm + 0.25 cm = 5.25 cm
\(\therefore\) Outer curved surface area of the bowl
\(=2\pi { r }^{ 2 }\)
\(\\ =2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { \left( 5.25 \right) }^{ 2 }{ cm }^{ 2 }\)
\(\\ =173.25{ cm }^{ 2 }\)
16.
(i) Here, r = 7 and I = 25 cm
⇒ h = \(\sqrt{l^{2}-r^{2}}=\sqrt{25^{2}-7^{2}}=\sqrt{625-49}\) = 24cm
∴ Volume of the conical vessel = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h\)
\(=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times\) (7)2 x 24 cm3
\(=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times\) 7 x 7 x 24 cm3
= 22 х 7 х 8 cm3 = 1232 cm3
\(=\frac{1232}{1000} l\) = 1.232 1=
[∵ 1000 cm3 = 1 l]
Thus, the required capacity of the conical vessel is 1.232 I.
(ii) Here, height (h) = 12 cm and I = 13 cm
r = \(\sqrt{l^{2}-\mathrm{h}^{2}}=\sqrt{13^{2}-12^{2}}=\sqrt{169-144}\)
= \(\sqrt{25}\) = 5cm
Now, volume of the conical vessel = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h\)
\(=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7}\) ✕ (5)2 ✕ 12 cm3
=\(\frac{22 \times 5 \times 5 \times 4}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^{3}=\frac{2200}{7} \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\)
∴ Capacity of the conical vessel = \(\frac{2200}{7} \times \frac{1}{1000} l=\frac{22}{70} l=\frac{11}{35} l\)
Thus, the required capacity of the conical vessel is \(\frac{11}{35} l\).
