Exercise 11.1 Page: 208

1. The length and breadth of a rectangular piece of land are 500 m and 300 m, respectively. Find

(i) Its area (ii) the cost of the land, if 1 m² of the land costs ₹ 10,000.

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Length of the rectangular piece of land = 500 m

Breadth of the rectangular piece of land = 300 m

Then,

(i) Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 500 × 300

= 150000 m²

(ii) Cost of the land for 1 m² = ₹ 10000

Cost of the land for 150000 m² = 10000 × 150000

= ₹ 1500000000

2. Find the area of a square park whose perimeter is 320m.

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Perimeter of the square park = 320 m

4 × Length of the side of park = 320 m

Then,

Length of the side of the park = 320/4

= 80 m

So, the area of the square park = (Length of the side of the park)²

= 80²

= 6400 m²

3. Find the breadth of a rectangular plot of land if its area is 440 m² and the length is 22 m. Also, find its perimeter.

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Area of the rectangular plot = 440 m²

Length of the rectangular plot = 22 m

We know that,

Area of the rectangle = Length × Breadth

440 = 22 × Breadth

Breadth = 440/22

Breadth = 20 m

Then,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(Length + Breadth)

= 2 (22 + 20)

= 2(42)

= 84 m

∴ Perimeter of the rectangular plot is 84 m.

4. The perimeter of a rectangular sheet is 100 cm. If the length is 35 cm, find its breadth.

Also, find the area.

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Perimeter of the rectangular sheet = 100 cm

Length of the rectangular sheet = 35 cm

We know that,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)

100 = 2 (35 + Breadth)

(100/2) = 35 + Breadth

50 – 35 = Breadth

Breadth = 15 cm

Then,

Area of the rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 35 × 15

= 525 cm²

∴ Area of the rectangular sheet is 525 cm²

5. The area of a square park is the same as that of a rectangular park. If the side of the square park is 60 m and the length of the rectangular park is 90 m, find the breadth of the rectangular park.

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

The area of a square park is the same as that of a rectangular park.

Side of the square park = 60 m

Length of the rectangular park = 90 m

We know that,

Area of the square park = (One of the sides of the square)²

= 60²

= 3600 m²

Area of the rectangular park = 3600 m² … [∵ given]

Length × Breadth = 3600

90 × Breadth = 3600

Breadth = 3600/90

Breadth = 40 m

6. A wire is in the shape of a rectangle. Its length is 40 cm, and its breadth is 22 cm. If the same wire is rebent in the shape of a square, what will be the measure of each side?

Also, find which shape encloses more area.

Solution:-

By reading the question, we can conclude that the perimeter of the square is the same as the perimeter of the rectangle.

From the question, it is given that

Length of the rectangle = 40 cm

Breadth of the square = 22 cm

Then,

Perimeter of the rectangle = Perimeter of the Square

2 (Length + Breadth) = 4 × side

2 (40 + 22) = 4 × side

2 (62) = 4 × side

124 = 4 × side

Side = 124/4

Side = 31 cm

So, the area of the rectangle = (Length × Breadth)

= 40 × 22

= 880 cm²

Area of square = side²

= 31²

= 31 × 31

= 961 cm²

∴ Square-shaped wire encloses more area.

7. The perimeter of a rectangle is 130 cm. If the breadth of the rectangle is 30 cm, find its length. Also, find the area of the rectangle.

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Perimeter of the rectangle = 130 cm

Breadth of the rectangle = 30

We know that

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)

130 = 2 (length + 30)

130/2 = length + 30

Length + 30 = 65

Length = 65 – 30

Length = 35 cm

Then,

Area of the rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 35 × 30

= 1050 cm²

8. A door of length 2 m and breadth 1 m is fitted in a wall. The length of the wall is 4.5 m, and the breadth is 3.6 m (Fig). Find the cost of whitewashing the wall if the rate of whitewashing the wall is ₹ 20 per m².

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Length of the door = 2 m

Breadth of the door = 1 m

Length of the wall = 4.5 m

Breadth of the wall = 3.6 m

Then,

Area of the door = Length × Breadth

= 2 × 1

= 2 m²

Area of the wall = Length × Breadth

= 4.5 × 3.6

= 16.2 m²

So, area to be whitewashed = 16.2 – 2 = 14.2 m²

Cost of whitewashing 1 m² area = ₹ 20

Hence, the cost of whitewashing 14.2 m² area = 14.2 × 20

= ₹ 284

246 = 20 × height

Height = 246/20

Height = 12.3 cm

∴ Height of the parallelogram is 12.3 cm.

(b)

From the table,

Base of parallelogram =?

Height of parallelogram =15 cm

Area of the parallelogram = 154.5 cm²

Then,

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

154.5 = base × 15

Base = 154.5/15

Base = 10.3 cm

∴ Base of the parallelogram is 10.3 cm.

(c)

From the table,

Base of parallelogram =?

Height of parallelogram =8.4 cm

Area of the parallelogram = 48.72 cm²

Then,

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

48.72 = base × 8.4

Base = 48.72/8.4

Base = 5.8 cm

∴ Base of the parallelogram is 5.8 cm.

(d)

From the table,

Base of parallelogram = 15.6 cm

Height of parallelogram =?

Area of the parallelogram = 16.38 cm²

Then,

Height = 16.38/15.6

Height = 1.05 cm

∴ Height of the parallelogram is 1.05 cm.

4. Find the missing values.

Solution:-

(a)

From the table,

Height of triangle =?

Base of triangle = 15 cm

Area of the triangle = 16.38 cm²

Then,

Area of triangle = ½ × Base × Height

87 = ½ × 15 × height

Height = (87 × 2)/15

Height = 174/15

Height = 11.6 cm

∴ Height of the triangle is 11.6 cm.

(b)

From the table,

Height of triangle =31.4 mm

Base of triangle =?

Area of the triangle = 1256 mm²

Then,

Area of triangle = ½ × Base × Height

1256 = ½ × base × 31.4

Base = (1256 × 2)/31.4

Base = 2512/31.4

Base = 80 mm = 8 cm

∴ Base of the triangle is 80 mm or 8 cm.

(c)

From the table,

Height of triangle =?

Base of triangle = 22 cm

Area of the triangle = 170.5 cm²

Then,

Area of triangle = ½ × Base × Height

170.5 = ½ × 22 × height

170.5 = 1 × 11 × height

Height = 170.5/11

Height = 15.5 cm

∴ Height of the triangle is 15.5 cm.

AB = 35 cm

AD = 49 cm

Then,

We know that,

Area of the parallelogram = Base × Height

1470 = AB × BM

1470 = 35 × DL

DL = 1470/35

DL = 42 cm

And,

Area of the parallelogram = Base × Height

1470 = AD × BM

1470 = 49 × BM

BM = 1470/49

BM = 30 cm

7. ΔABC is right-angled at A (Fig 11.25). AD is perpendicular to BC. If AB = 5 cm, BC = 13 cm, and AC = 12 cm, find the area of ΔABC. Also, find the length of AD.

Fig 11.25

Then,

We know that,

Area of the ΔABC = ½ × Base × Height

= ½ × AB × AC

= ½ × 5 × 12

= 1 × 5 × 6

= 30 cm²

Now,

Area of ΔABC = ½ × Base × Height

30 = ½ × AD × BC

30 = ½ × AD × 13

(30 × 2)/13 = AD

AD = 60/13

AD = 4.6 cm

Then,

Area of ΔABC = ½ × Base × Height

= ½ × BC × AD

= ½ × 9 × 6

= 1 × 9 × 3

= 27 cm²

Now,

Area of ΔABC = ½ × Base × Height

27 = ½ × AB × CE

27 = ½ × 7.5 × CE

(27 × 2)/7.5 = CE

CE = 54/7.5

CE = 7.2 cm

Solution:-

Given, the radius of the circle = 28 mm

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

= 2 × (22/7) × 28

= 2 × 22 × 4

= 176 mm

(c) 21 cm

Solution:-

Given, the radius of the circle = 21 cm

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

= 2 × (22/7) × 21

= 2 × 22 × 3

= 132 cm

2. Find the area of the following circles, given that

(a) Radius = 14 mm (Take π = 22/7)

Solution:

Given, the radius of the circle = 14 mm

Then,

Area of the circle = πr²

= 22/7 × 14²

= 22/7 × 196

= 22 × 28

= 616 mm²

(b) Diameter = 49 m

Solution:

Given, the diameter of the circle (d) = 49 m

We know that radius (r) = d/2

= 49/2

= 24.5 m

Then,

Area of the circle = πr²

= 22/7 × (24.5)²

= 22/7 × 600.25

= 22 × 85.75

= 1886.5 m²

(c) Radius = 5 cm

Solution:

Given, the radius of the circle = 5 cm

Then,

Area of the circle = πr²

= 22/7 × 5²

= 22/7 × 25

= 550/7

= 78.57 cm²

3. If the circumference of a circular sheet is 154 m, find its radius. Also, find the area of the sheet. (Take π = 22/7)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Circumference of the circle = 154 m

Then,

We know that the circumference of the circle = 2πr

154 = 2 × (22/7) × r

154 = 44/7 × r

r = (154 × 7)/44

r = (14 × 7)/4

r = (7 × 7)/2

r = 49/2

r = 24.5 m

Now,

Area of the circle = πr²

= 22/7 × (24.5)²

= 22/7 × 600.25

= 22 × 85.75

= 1886.5 m²

So, the radius of the circle is 24.5, and the area of the circle is 1886.5.

4. A gardener wants to fence a circular garden of diameter 21m. Find the length of the rope he needs to purchase, if he makes 2 rounds of the fence. Also, find the cost of the rope, if it costs ₹ 4 per meter. (Take π = 22/7)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Diameter of the circular garden = 21 m

We know that radius (r) = d/2

= 21/2

= 10.5 m

Then,

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

= 2 × (22/7) × 10.5

= 462/7

= 66 m

So, the length of rope required = 2 × 66 = 132 m

Cost of 1 m rope = ₹ 4 [given]

Cost of 132 m rope = ₹ 4 × 132

= ₹ 528

5. From a circular sheet of radius 4 cm, a circle of radius 3 cm is removed. Find the area of the remaining sheet. (Take π = 3.14)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Radius of circular sheet R = 4 cm

A circle of radius to be removed r = 3 cm

Then,

The area of the remaining sheet = πR² – πr²

= π (R² – r²)

= 3.14 (4² – 3²)

= 3.14 (16 – 9)

= 3.14 × 7

= 21.98 cm²

So, the area of the remaining sheet is 21.98 cm².

6. Saima wants to put lace on the edge of a circular table cover of diameter 1.5 m. Find the length of the lace required, and also, find its cost if one meter of the lace costs ₹ 15. (Take π = 3.14)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Diameter of the circular table = 1.5 m

We know that radius (r) = d/2

= 1.5/2

= 0.75 m

Then,

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

= 2 × 3.14 × 0.75

= 4.71 m

So, the length of the lace = 4.71 m

Cost of 1 m lace = ₹ 15 [given]

Cost of 4.71 m lace = ₹ 15 × 4.71

= ₹ 70.65

7. Find the perimeter of the adjoining figure, which is a semicircle, including its diameter.

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Diameter of semi-circle = 10 cm

We know that radius (r) = d/2

= 10/2

= 5 cm

Then,

Circumference of the semi-circle = πr + 2r

= 3.14(5) + 2(5)

= 5 [3.14+ 2]

= 5 [5.14]

Therefore, the perimeter of the semicircle = 25.7 cm

8. Find the cost of polishing a circular table top of diameter 1.6 m, if the rate of polishing is ₹15/m². (Take π = 3.14)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Diameter of the circular table-top = 1.6 m

We know that radius (r) = d/2

= 1.6/2

= 0.8 m

Then,

Area of the circular table-top = πr²

= 3.14 × 0.8²

= 3.14 × 0.8 ×0.8

= 2.0096 m²

Cost for polishing 1 m² area = ₹ 15 [given]

Cost for polishing 2.0096 m² area = ₹ 15 × 2.0096

= ₹ 30.144

Hence, the cost of polishing 2.0096 m² area is ₹ 30.144.

9. Shazli took a wire of length 44 cm and bent it into the shape of a circle. Find the radius of that circle. Also, find its area. If the same wire is bent into the shape of a square, what will be the length of each of its sides? Which figure encloses more area, the circle or the square? (Take π = 22/7)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Length of wire that Shazli took =44 cm

Then,

If the wire is bent into a circle,

We know that the circumference of the circle = 2πr

44 = 2 × (22/7) × r

44 = 44/7 × r

(44 × 7)/44 = r

r = 7 cm

Area of the circle = πr²

= 22/7 × 7²

= 22/7 × 7 ×7

= 22 × 7

= 154 cm²

Now,

If the wire is bent into a square,

The length of each side of the square = 44/4

= 11 cm

Area of the square = Length of the side of square²

= 11²

= 121 cm²

By comparing the two areas of the square and circle,

Clearly, the circle encloses more area.

10. From a circular card sheet of radius 14 cm, two circles of radius 3.5 cm and a rectangle of length 3 cm and breadth 1cm are removed. (As shown in the adjoining figure.) Find the area of the remaining sheet. (Take π = 22/7)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Radius of the circular card sheet = 14 cm

Radius of the two small circles = 3.5 cm

Length of the rectangle = 3 cm

Breadth of the rectangle = 1 cm

First, we have to find out the area of the circular card sheet, two circles and the rectangle to find out the remaining area.

Now,

Area of the circular card sheet = πr²

= 22/7 × 14²

= 22/7 × 14 × 14

= 22 × 2 × 14

= 616 cm²

Area of the 2 small circles = 2 × πr²

= 2 × (22/7 × 3.5²)

= 2 × (22/7 × 3.5 × 3.5)

= 2 × ((22/7) × 12.25)

= 2 × 38.5

= 77 cm²

Area of the rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 3 × 1

= 3 cm²

Now,

The area of the remaining part = Card sheet area – (Area of two small circles + Rectangle area)

= 616 – (77 + 3)

= 616 – 80

= 536 cm²

11. A circle of radius 2 cm is cut out from a square piece of an aluminium sheet of side

6 cm. What is the area of the leftover aluminium sheet? (Take π = 3.14)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Radius of circle = 2 cm

Square sheet side = 6 cm

First, we have to find out the area of the square aluminium sheet and circle to find out the remaining area.

Now,

Area of the square = side²

= 6²

= 36 cm²

Area of the circle = πr²

= 3.14 × 2²

= 3.14 × 2 × 2

= 3.14 × 4

= 12.56 cm²

Now,

The area of the remaining part = Area of the aluminium square sheet – The area of the circle

= 36 – 12.56

= 23.44 cm²

12. The circumference of a circle is 31.4 cm. Find the radius and the area of the circle. (Take π = 3.14)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Circumference of a circle = 31.4 cm

We know that,

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

31.4 = 2 × 3.14 × r

31.4 = 6.28 × r

31.4/6.28 = r

r = 5 cm

Then,

Area of the circle = πr²

= 3.14 × 5²

= 3. 14 × 25

= 78.5 cm

13. A circular flower bed is surrounded by a path 4 m wide. The diameter of the flower bed is 66 m. What is the area of this path? (π = 3.14)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Diameter of the flower bed = 66 m

Then,

Radius of the flower bed = d/2

= 66/2

= 33 m

Area of flower bed = πr²

= 3.14 × 33²

= 3.14 × 1089

= 3419.46 m

Now, we have to find the area of the flower bed and path together.

So, the radius of the flower bed and path together = 33 + 4 = 37 m

Area of the flower bed and path together = πr²

= 3.14 × 37²

= 3.14 × 1369

= 4298.66 m

Finally,

Area of the path = Area of the flower bed and path together – Area of the flower bed

= 4298.66 – 3419.46

= 879.20 m²

14. A circular flower garden has an area of 314 m². A sprinkler at the centre of the garden can cover an area that has a radius of 12 m. Will the sprinkler water the entire garden? (Take π = 3.14)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Area of the circular flower garden = 314 m²

The sprinkler at the centre of the garden can cover an area that has a radius = 12 m

Area of the circular flower garden = πr²

314 = 3.14 × r²

314/3.14 = r²

r² = 100

r = √100

r = 10 m

∴ Radius of the circular flower garden is 10 m.

The sprinkler can cover an area of a radius of 12 m.

Hence, the sprinkler will water the whole garden.

15. Find the circumference of the inner and the outer circles, shown in the adjoining figure? (Take π = 3.14)

Solution:-

From the figure,

Radius of inner circle = outer circle radius – 10

= 19 – 10

= 9 m

Circumference of the inner circle = 2πr

= 2 × 3.14 × 9

= 56.52 m

Then,

Radius of outer circle = 19 m

Circumference of the outer circle = 2πr

= 2 × 3.14 × 19

= 119.32 m

16. How many times a wheel of radius 28 cm must rotate to go 352 m? (Take π = 22/7)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Radius of the wheel = 28 cm

Circumference of the wheel = 2πr

= 2 × 22/7 × 28

= 2 × 22 × 4

= 176 cm

Now, we have to find the number of rotations of the wheel.

= Total distance to be covered/ Circumference of the wheel

= 352 m/176 cm

= 35200 cm/ 176 cm

= 200

17. The minute hand of a circular clock is 15 cm long. How far does the tip of the minute hand move in 1 hour? (Take π = 3.14)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Length of the minute hand of the circular clock = 15 cm

Then,

Distance travelled by the tip of minute hand in 1 hour = Circumference of the clock

= 2πr

= 2 × 3.14 × 15

= 94.2 cm

Exercise 11.4 Page: 226

1. A garden is 90 m long and 75 m broad. A path 5 m wide is to be built outside and around it. Find the area of the path. Also, find the area of the garden in hectares.

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Length of the garden (L) = 90 m

Breadth of the garden (B) = 75 m

Then,

Area of the garden = Length × Breadth

= 90 × 75

= 6750 m²

From the figure,

The new length and breadth of the garden when the path is included are 100 m and 85 m, respectively.

New area of the garden = 100 × 85

= 8500 m²

The area of path = New area of the garden including path – Area of garden

= 8500 – 6750

= 1750 m²

For 1 hectare = 10000 m²

Hence, the area of the garden in hectares = 6750/10000

= 0.675 hectare

2. A 3 m wide path runs outside and around a rectangular park of length 125 m and breadth 65 m. Find the area of the path.

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Length of the park (L) = 125 m

Breadth of the park (B) = 65 m

Then,

Area of the park = Length × Breadth

= 125 × 65

= 8125 m²

From the figure,

The new length and breadth of the park when the path is included are 131 m and 71 m, respectively.

New area of the park = 131 × 71

= 9301 m²

The area of path = New area of the park including path – Area of the park

= 9301 – 8125

= 1176 m²

3. A picture is painted on a cardboard 8 cm long and 5 cm wide, such that there is a margin of 1.5 cm along each of its sides. Find the total area of the margin.

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Length of the cardboard (L) = 8 cm

Breadth of the cardboard (B) = 5 cm

Then,

Area of the cardboard = Length × Breadth

= 8 × 5

= 40 cm²

From the figure,

The new length and breadth of the cardboard when the margin is not included are 5 cm and 2 cm, respectively.

New area of the cardboard = 5 × 2

= 10 cm²

The area of margin = Area of the cardboard when the margin is included – Area of the cardboard when the margin is not included

= 40 – 10

= 30 cm²

4. A verandah of width 2.25 m is constructed all along outside a room which is 5.5 m long and 4 m wide. Find:

(i) the area of the verandah.

(ii) the cost of cementing the floor of the verandah at the rate of ₹ 200 per m².

Solution:-

(i)

From the question, it is given that

Length of the room (L) = 5.5 m

Breadth of the room (B) = 4 m

Then,

Area of the room = Length × Breadth

= 5.5 × 4

= 22 m²

From the figure,

The new length and breadth of the room when the verandah is included are 10 m and 8.5 m, respectively.

The new area of the room when the verandah is included = 10 × 8.5

= 85 m²

The area of verandah = Area of the room when verandah is included – Area of the room

= 85 – 22

= 63 m²

(ii)

Given, the cost of cementing the floor of the verandah at the rate of ₹ 200 per m²

Then the cost of cementing the 63 m² area of floor of the verandah = 200 × 63

= ₹ 12600

5. A path 1 m wide is built along the border and inside a square garden of side 30 m. Find:

(i) the area of the path.

(ii) the cost of planting grass in the remaining portion of the garden at the rate of ₹ 40 per m².

Solution:-

(i)

From the question, it is given that

Side of the square garden (s) = 30 m

Then,

Area of the square garden = S²

= 30²

= 30 × 30

= 900 m²

From the figure,

The new side of the square garden, when the path is not included, is 28 m.

The new area of the room when the verandah is included = 28²

= 28 × 28

= 784 m²

The area of the path = Area of the square garden when the path is included – Area of the square garden when the path is not included

= 900 – 784

= 116 m²

(ii)

Given, the cost of planting the grass in the remaining portion of the garden at the rate of

= ₹ 40 per m²

Then the cost of planting the grass in 784 m² area of the garden = 784 × 40

= ₹ 31360

6. Two crossroads, each of width 10 m, cut at right angles through the centre of a rectangular park of length 700 m and breadth 300 m and parallel to its sides. Find the area of the roads. Also, find the area of the park excluding the crossroads. Give the answer in hectares.

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Length of the park (L) = 700 m

Breadth of the park (B) = 300 m

Then,

Area of the park = Length × Breadth

= 700 × 300

= 210000 m²

Let us assume that ABCD is the one crossroad and EFGH is another crossroad in the park.

The length of ABCD cross road = 700 m

The length of EFGH cross road = 300 m

Both crossroads have the same width = 10 m

Then,

Area of the ABCD cross road = Length × Breadth

= 700 × 10

= 7000 m²

Area of the EFGH cross road = Length × Breadth

= 300 × 10

= 3000 m²

Area of the IJKL at centre = Length × Breadth

= 10 × 10

= 100 m²

Area of the roads = Area of ABCD + Area of EFGH – Area of IJKL

= 7000 + 3000 – 100

= 10000 – 100

= 9900 m²

We know that for 1 hectare = 10000 m²

Hence, the area of roads in hectares = 9900/10000

= 0.99 hectare

Finally, the area of the park excluding roads = Area of the park – Area of the roads

= 210000 – 9900

= 200100 m²

= 200100/10000

= 20.01 hectare

7. Through a rectangular field of length 90 m and breadth 60 m, two roads are constructed which are parallel to the sides and cut each other at right angles through the centre of the fields. If the width of each road is 3 m, find

(i) the area covered by the roads.

(ii) the cost of constructing the roads at the rate of ₹ 110 per m².

Solution:-

(i)

From the question, it is given that

Length of the field (L) = 90 m

Breadth of the field (B) = 60 m

Then,

Area of the field = Length × Breadth

= 90 × 60

= 5400 m²

Let us assume that ABCD is the one crossroad and EFGH is another crossroad in the park.

The length of ABCD cross road = 90 m

The length of EFGH cross road = 60 m

Both crossroads have the same width = 3 m

Then,

Area of the ABCD cross road = Length × Breadth

= 90 × 3

= 270 m²

Area of the EFGH cross road = length × breadth

= 60 × 3

= 180 m²

Area of the IJKL at centre = Length × Breadth

= 3 × 3

= 9 m²

Area of the roads = Area of ABCD + Area of EFGH – Area of IJKL

= 270 + 180 – 9

= 450 – 9

= 441 m²

(ii)

Given, the cost of constructing the roads at the rate of ₹ 110 per m².

Then the cost of constructing the 441 m² roads = 441 × 110

= ₹ 48510

8. Pragya wrapped a cord around a circular pipe of radius 4 cm (adjoining figure) and cut off the length required of the cord. Then she wrapped it around a square box of side 4 cm (also shown). Did she have any cords left? (π = 3.14)

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Radius of a circular pipe = 4 cm

Side of a square = 4 cm

Then,

Perimeter of the circular pipe = 2πr

= 2 × 3.14 × 4

= 25.12 cm

Perimeter of the square = 4 × Side of the square

= 4 × 4

= 16 cm

So, the length of cord left with Pragya = Perimeter of the circular pipe – Perimeter of the square

= 25.12 – 16

= 9.12 cm

Yes, 9.12 cm cord is left.

9. The adjoining figure represents a rectangular lawn with a circular flower bed in the middle. Find:

(i) the area of the whole land. (ii) the area of the flower bed.

(iii) the area of the lawn, excluding the area of the flower bed.

(iv) the circumference of the flower bed.

Solution:-

(i)

From the figure,

Length of rectangular lawn = 10 m

Breadth of rectangular lawn = 5 m

Area of the rectangular lawn = Length × Breadth

= 10 × 5

= 50 m²

(ii)

From the figure,

Radius of the flower bed = 2 m

Area of the flower bed = πr²

= 3.14 × 2²

= 3.14 × 4

= 12.56 m²

(iii)

The area of the lawn, excluding the area of the flower bed = Area of the rectangular lawn –

Area of the flower bed

= 50 – 12.56

= 37.44 m²

(iv)

The circumference of the flower bed = 2πr

= 2 × 3.14 × 2

= 12.56 m

10. In the following figures, find the area of the shaded portions.

(i)

Solution:-

To find the area of EFDC, first, we have to find the area of ΔAEF, ΔEBC and rectangle ABCD.

Area of ΔAEF = ½ × Base × Height

= ½ × 6 × 10

= 1 × 3 × 10

= 30 cm²

Area of ΔEBC = ½ × Base × Height

= ½ × 8 × 10

= 1 × 4 × 10

= 40 cm²

Area of rectangle ABCD = Length × Breadth

= 18 × 10

= 180 cm²

Then,

Area of EFDC = ABCD area – (ΔAEF + ΔEBC)

= 180 – (30 + 40)

= 180 – 70

= 110 cm²

(ii)

Solution:-

To find the area of ΔQTU, first, we have to find the area of ΔSTU, ΔTPQ, ΔQRU and square PQRS.

Area of ΔSTU = ½ × Base × Height

= ½ × 10 × 10

= 1 × 5 × 10

= 50 cm²

Area of ΔTPQ = ½ × Base × Height

= ½ × 10 × 20

= 1 × 5 × 20

= 100 cm²

Area of ΔQRU = ½ × Base × Height

= ½ × 10 × 20

= 1 × 5 × 20

= 100 cm²

Area of square PQRS = Side²

= 20 × 20

= 400 cm²

Then,

Area of ΔQTU = PQRS area – (ΔSTU + ΔTPQ + ΔQRU)

= 400 – (50 + 100 + 100)

= 400 – 250

= 150 cm²

11. Find the area of the quadrilateral ABCD.

Here, AC = 22 cm, BM = 3 cm,

DN = 3 cm, and BM ⊥ AC, DN ⊥ AC

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

AC = 22 cm, BM = 3 cm DN = 3 cm and BM ⊥ AC, DN ⊥ AC

To find the area of quadrilateral ABCD, first, we have to find the area of ΔABC, and ΔADC Area of ΔABC = ½ × Base × Height

= ½ × 22 × 3

= 1 × 11 × 3

= 33 cm²

Area of ΔADC = ½ × Base × Height

= ½ × 22 × 3

= 1 × 11 × 3

= 33 cm²

Then,

Area of quadrilateral ABCD = Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔADC

= 33 + 33

= 66 cm²
