 Box Dimensions (in cm) Total surface area (in cm2 ) Extra area required for overlapping (in cm^2) Total surface area for all overlaps (in cm 2) Area for 250 such boxes (in cm2) Bigger Box l = 25 b = 20 c = 5 1450 1450×5/100 = 72.5 (1450+72.5) = 1522.5 (1522.5×250) = 380625 Smaller Box l = 15 b = 12 h =5 630 630×5/100 = 31.5 (630+31.5) = 661.5 ( 250×661.5) = 165375

Now, Total cardboard sheet required = (380625+165375) cm2

= 546000 cm2

Given: Cost of 1000 cm2 cardboard sheet = Rs. 4

Therefore, Cost of 546000 cmcardboard sheet =Rs. (546000×4)/1000 = Rs. 2184

Therefore, the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind will be Rs. 2184.

8. Praveen wanted to make a temporary shelter for her car, by making a box – like structure with tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (with the front face as a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitching margins are very small, and therefore negligible, how much tarpaulin would be required to make the shelter of height 2.5m, with base dimensions 4m×3m?

Solution:

Let l, b and h be the length, breadth and height of the shelter.

Given:

l = 4m

b = 3m

h = 2.5m

Tarpaulin will be required for the top and four wall sides of the shelter.

Using formula, Area of tarpaulin required = 2(lh+bh)+lb

On putting the values of l, b and h, we get

= [2(4×2.5+3×2.5)+4×3] m2

= [2(10+7.5)+12]m2

= 47m2

Therefore, 47 m2 tarpaulin will be required.

## Exercise 13.2 Page No: 216

1. The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height 14 cm is 88 cm2. Find the diameter of the base of the cylinder. (Assume π =22/7 )

Solution:

Height of cylinder, h = 14cm

Let the diameter of the cylinder be d

Curved surface area of cylinder = 88 cm2

We know that, formula to find Curved surface area of cylinder is 2πrh.

So 2πrh =88 cm2 (r is the radius of the base of the cylinder)

2×(22/7)×r×14 = 88 cm2

2r = 2 cm

d =2 cm

Therefore, the diameter of the base of the cylinder is 2 cm.

2. It is required to make a closed cylindrical tank of height 1m and base diameter 140cm from a metal sheet. How many square meters of the sheet are required for the same? Assume π = 22/7

Solution:

Let h be the height and r be the radius of a cylindrical tank.

Height of cylindrical tank, h = 1m

Radius = half of diameter = (140/2) cm = 70cm = 0.7m

Area of sheet required = Total surface are of tank = 2πr(r+h) unit square

= [2×(22/7)×0.7(0.7+1)]

= 7.48

Therefore, 7.48 square meters of the sheet are required.

3. A metal pipe is 77 cm long. The inner diameter of a cross section is 4 cm, the outer diameter being 4.4cm. (see fig. 13.11). Find its

(i) inner curved surface area,

(ii) outer curved surface area

(iii) total surface area

(Assume π=22/7)

Solution:

Let r1 and r2 Inner and outer radii of cylindrical pipe

r= 4/2 cm = 2 cm

r= 4.4/2 cm = 2.2 cm

Height of cylindrical pipe, h = length of cylindrical pipe = 77 cm

(i) curved surface area of outer surface of pipe = 2πr1h

= 2×(22/7)×2×77 cm2

= 968 cm2

(ii) curved surface area of outer surface of pipe = 2πr2h

= 2×(22/7)×2.2×77 cm2

= (22×22×2.2) cm2

= 1064.8 cm2

(iii) Total surface area of pipe = inner curved surface area+ outer curved surface area+ Area of both circular ends of pipe.

= 2r1h+2r2h+2π(r12-r22)

= 9668+1064.8+2×(22/7)×(2.22-22)

= 2031.8+5.28

= 2038.08 cm2

Therefore, the total surface area of the cylindrical pipe is 2038.08 cm2.

4. The diameter of a roller is 84 cm and its length is 120 cm. It takes 500 complete revolutions to

move once over to level a playground. Find the area of the playground in m2? (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

A roller is shaped like a cylinder.

Let h be the height of the roller and r be the radius.

h = Length of roller = 120 cm

Radius of the circular end of roller = r = (84/2) cm = 42 cm

Now, CSA of roller = 2πrh

= 2×(22/7)×42×120

= 31680 cm2

Area of field = 500×CSA of roller

= (500×31680) cm2

= 15840000 cm2

= 1584 m2.

Therefore, area of playground is 1584 m2. Answer!

5. A cylindrical pillar is 50 cm in diameter and 3.5 m in height. Find the cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of Rs. 12.50 per m2.

(Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Let h be the height of a cylindrical pillar and r be the radius.

Given:

Height cylindrical pillar = h = 3.5 m

Radius of the circular end of pillar = r = diameter/2 = 50/2 = 25cm = 0.25m

CSA of pillar = 2πrh

= 2×(22/7)×0.25×3.5

= 5.5 m2

Cost of painting 1 m2 area = Rs. 12.50

Cost of painting 5.5 m2 area = Rs (5.5×12.50)

= Rs.68.75

Therefore, the cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of Rs. 12.50 per m2 is Rs 68.75.

6. Curved surface area of a right circular cylinder is 4.4 m2. If the radius of the base of the base of the cylinder is 0.7 m, find its height. (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Let h be the height of the circular cylinder and r be the radius.

Radius of the base of cylinder, r = 0.7m

CSA of cylinder = 2πrh

CSA of cylinder = 4.4m2

Equating both the equations, we have

2×(22/7)×0.7×h = 4.4

Or h = 1

Therefore, the height of the cylinder is 1 m.

7. The inner diameter of a circular well is 3.5m. It is 10m deep. Find

(i) its inner curved surface area,

(ii) the cost of plastering this curved surface at the rate of Rs. 40 per m2.

(Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Inner radius of circular well, r = 3.5/2m = 1.75m

Depth of circular well, say h = 10m

(i) Inner curved surface area = 2πrh

= (2×(22/7 )×1.75×10)

= 110

Therefore, the inner curved surface area of the circular well is 110 m2.

(ii)Cost of plastering 1 m2 area = Rs.40

Cost of plastering 110 m2 area = Rs (110×40)

= Rs.4400

Therefore, the cost of plastering the curved surface of the well is Rs. 4400.

8. In a hot water heating system, there is cylindrical pipe of length 28 m and diameter 5 cm. Find

the total radiating surface in the system. (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Height of cylindrical pipe = Length of cylindrical pipe = 28m

Radius of circular end of pipe = diameter/ 2 = 5/2 cm = 2.5cm = 0.025m

Now, CSA of cylindrical pipe = 2πrh, where r = radius and h = height of the cylinder

= 2×(22/7)×0.025×28 m2

= 4.4m2

The area of the radiating surface of the system is 4.4m2.

9. Find

(i) the lateral or curved surface area of a closed cylindrical petrol storage tank that is 4.2 m in

diameter and 4.5m high.

(ii) How much steel was actually used, if 1/12 of the steel actually used was wasted in making the tank. (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Height of cylindrical tank, h = 4.5m

Radius of the circular end , r = (4.2/2)m = 2.1m

(i) the lateral or curved surface area of cylindrical tank is 2πrh

= 2×(22/7)×2.1×4.5 m2

= (44×0.3×4.5) m2

= 59.4 m2

Therefore, CSA of tank is 59.4 m2.

(ii) Total surface area of tank = 2πr(r+h)

= 2×(22/7)×2.1×(2.1+4.5)

= 44×0.3×6.6

= 87.12 m2

Now, Let S m2 steel sheet be actually used in making the tank.

S(1 -1/12) = 87.12 m2

This implies, S = 95.04 m2

Therefore, 95.04msteel was used in actual while making such a tank.

10. In fig. 13.12, you see the frame of a lampshade. It is to be covered with a decorative cloth.

The frame has a base diameter of 20 cm and height of 30 cm. A margin of 2.5 cm is to be given for folding it over the top and bottom of the frame. Find how much cloth is required for covering the lampshade. (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Say h = height of the frame of lampshade, looks like cylindrical shape

Total height is h = (2.5+30+2.5) cm = 35cm and

r = (20/2) cm = 10cm

Use curved surface area formula to find the cloth required for covering the lampshade which is 2πrh

= (2×(22/7)×10×35) cm2

= 2200 cm2

Hence, 2200 cm2 cloth is required for covering the lampshade.

11. The students of Vidyalaya were asked to participate in a competition for making and decorating penholders in the shape of a cylinder with a base, using cardboard. Each penholder was to be of radius 3 cm and height 10.5 cm. The Vidyalaya was to supply the competitors with cardboard. If there were 35 competitors, how much cardboard was required to be bought for the competition? (Assume π =22/7)

Solution:

Radius of the circular end of cylindrical penholder, r = 3cm

Height of penholder, h = 10.5cm

Surface area of a penholder = CSA of pen holder + Area of base of penholder

= 2πrh+πr2

= 2×(22/7)×3×10.5+(22/7)×32= 1584/7

Therefore, Area of cardboard sheet used by one competitor is 1584/7 cm2

So, Area of cardboard sheet used by 35 competitors = 35×1584/7 = 7920 cm2

Therefore, 7920 cm2 cardboard sheet will be needed for the competition.

## Exercise 13.3 Page No: 221

1. Diameter of the base of a cone is 10.5 cm and its slant height is 10 cm. Find its curved surface area (Assume π=22/7)

Solution:

Radius of the base of cone = diameter/ 2 = (10.5/2)cm = 5.25cm

Slant height of cone, say l = 10 cm

CSA of cone is = πrl

= (22/7)×5.25×10 = 165

Therefore, the curved surface area of the cone is 165 cm2.

2. Find the total surface area of a cone, if its slant height is 21 m and diameter of its base is 24 m. (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Radius of cone, r = 24/2 m = 12m

Slant height, l = 21 m

Formula: Total Surface area of the cone = πr(l+r)

Total Surface area of the cone = (22/7)×12×(21+12) m2

= 1244.57m2

3. Curved surface area of a cone is 308 cm2 and its slant height is 14 cm. Find

(i) radius of the base and (ii) total surface area of the cone.

(Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Slant height of cone, l = 14 cm

Let the radius of the cone be r.

(i) We know, CSA of cone = πrl

Given: Curved surface area of a cone is 308 cm2

(308 ) = (22/7)×r×14

308 = 44 r

r = 308/44 = 7

Radius of a cone base is 7 cm.

(ii) Total surface area of cone = CSA of cone + Area of base (πr2)

Total surface area of cone = 308+(22/7)×72 = 308+154

Therefore, the total surface area of the cone is 462 cm2.

4. A conical tent is 10 m high and the radius of its base is 24 m. Find

(i) slant height of the tent.

(ii) cost of the canvas required to make the tent, if the cost of 1 m2 canvas is Rs 70.

(Assume π=22/7)

Solution:

Let ABC be a conical tent

Height of conical tent, h = 10 m

Radius of conical tent, r = 24m

Let the slant height of the tent be l.

(i) In right triangle ABO, we have

AB= AO2+BO2(using Pythagoras theorem)

l2 = h2+r2

= (10)2+(24)2

= 676

l = 26

Therefore, the slant height of the tent is 26 m.

(ii) CSA of tent = πrl

= (22/7)×24×26 m2

Cost of 1 m2 canvas = Rs 70

Cost of (13728/7)m2 canvas is equal to Rs (13728/7)×70 = Rs 137280

Therefore, the cost of the canvas required to make such a tent is Rs 137280.

5. What length of tarpaulin 3 m wide will be required to make conical tent of height 8 m and base radius 6m? Assume that the extra length of material that will be required for stitching margins and wastage in cutting is approximately 20 cm. [Use π=3.14]

Solution:

Height of conical tent, h = 8m

Radius of base of tent, r = 6m

Slant height of tent, l2 = (r2+h2)

l= (62+82) = (36+64) = (100)

or l = 10

Again, CSA of conical tent = πrl

= (3.14×6×10) m2

= 188.4m2

Let the length of tarpaulin sheet required be L

As 20 cm will be wasted, therefore,

Effective length will be (L-0.2m).

Breadth of tarpaulin = 3m (given)

Area of sheet = CSA of tent

[(L–0.2)×3] = 188.4

L-0.2 = 62.8

L = 63

Therefore, the length of the required tarpaulin sheet will be 63 m.

6. The slant height and base diameter of conical tomb are 25m and 14 m respectively. Find the cost of white-washing its curved surface at the rate of Rs. 210 per 100 m2. (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Slant height of conical tomb, l = 25m

Base radius, r = diameter/2 = 14/2 m = 7m

CSA of conical tomb = πrl

= (22/7)×7×25 = 550

CSA of conical tomb= 550m2

Cost of white-washing 550 m2 area, which is Rs (210×550)/100

= Rs. 1155

Therefore, cost will be Rs. 1155 while white-washing tomb.

7. A joker’s cap is in the form of right circular cone of base radius 7 cm and height 24cm. Find the area of the sheet required to make 10 such caps. (Assume π =22/7)

Solution:

Radius of conical cap, r = 7 cm

Height of conical cap, h = 24cm

Slant height, l2 = (r2+h2)

= (72+242)

= (49+576)

= (625)

Or l = 25 cm

CSA of 1 conical cap = πrl

= (22/7)×7×25

= 550

CSA of 10 caps = (10×550) cm2 = 5500 cm2

Therefore, the area of the sheet required to make 10 such caps is 5500 cm2.

8. A bus stop is barricaded from the remaining part of the road, by using 50 hollow cones made of recycled cardboard. Each cone has a base diameter of 40 cm and height 1 m. If the outer side of each of the cones is to be painted and the cost of painting is Rs. 12 per m2, what will be the cost of painting all these cones? (Use π = 3.14 and take √(1.04) =1.02)

Solution:

Given:

Radius of cone, r = diameter/2 = 40/2 cm = 20cm = 0.2 m

Height of cone, h = 1m

Slant height of cone is l, and l= (r2+h2)

Using given values, l2 = (0.22+12)

= (1.04)

Or l = 1.02

Slant height of the cone is 1.02 m

Now,

CSA of each cone = πrl

= (3.14×0.2×1.02)

= 0.64056

CSA of 50 such cones = (50×0.64056) = 32.028

CSA of 50 such cones = 32.028 m2

Again,

Cost of painting 1 m2 area = Rs 12 (given)

Cost of painting 32.028 m2 area = Rs (32.028×12)

= Rs.384.336

= Rs.384.34 (approximately)

Therefore, the cost of painting all these cones is Rs. 384.34.

= 4×(22/7)×72 = 616

Surface area of a sphere is 616 cm2

(ii) Radius (r) of sphere = 21/2 = 10.5 cm

Surface area of sphere = 4πr2

= 4×(22/7)×10.5= 1386

Surface area of a sphere is 1386 cm2

Therefore, the surface area of a sphere having diameter 21cm is 1386 cm2

(iii) Radius(r) of sphere = 3.5/2 = 1.75 cm

Surface area of sphere = 4πr2

= 4×(22/7)×1.752 = 38.5

Solution:

Let rand r2 be the radii of spherical balloon and spherical balloon when air is pumped into it respectively. So

r= 7cm

r= 14 cm

Now, Required ratio = (initial surface area)/(Surface area after pumping air into balloon)

= 4r12/4r22

= (r1/r2)2

= (7/14)= (1/2)2 = ¼

Therefore, the ratio between the surface areas is 1:4.

5. A hemispherical bowl made of brass has inner diameter 10.5cm. Find the cost of tin-plating it on the inside at the rate of Rs 16 per 100 cm2. (Assume π = 22/7)

Formula for Surface area of hemispherical bowl = 2πr2

= 2×(22/7)×(5.25)2 = 173.25

Surface area of hemispherical bowl is 173.25 cm2

Cost of tin-plating 100 cm2 area = Rs 16

Cost of tin-plating 1 cm2 area = Rs 16 /100

Cost of tin-plating 173.25 cmarea = Rs. (16×173.25)/100 = Rs 27.72

Therefore, the cost of tin-plating the inner side of the hemispherical bowl at the rate of Rs 16 per 100 cm2 is Rs 27.72.

Solution:

Dimensions of a matchbox (a cuboid) are l×b×h = 4 cm×2.5 cm×1.5 cm respectively

Formula to find the volume of matchbox = l×b×h = (4×2.5×1.5) = 15

Volume of matchbox = 15 cm3

Now, volume of 12 such matchboxes = (15×12) cm3 = 180 cm3

Therefore, the volume of 12 matchboxes is 180cm3.

2. A cuboidal water tank is 6m long, 5m wide and 4.5m deep. How many litres of water can it hold? (1 m3= 1000 l)

Solution:

Dimensions of a cuboidal water tank are: l = 6 m and b = 5 m and h = 4.5 m

Formula to find volume of tank, V = l×b×h

Put the values, we get

V = (6×5×4.5) = 135

Volume of water tank is 135 m3

Again,

We are given that, amount of water that 1mvolume can hold = 1000 l

Amount of water, 135 m3volume hold = (135×1000) litres = 135000 litres

Therefore, given cuboidal water tank can hold up to135000 litres of water.

3. A cuboidal vessel is 10m long and 8m wide. How high must it be made to hold 380 cubic metres of a liquid?

Solution:

Width of cuboidal vessel, b = 8m

Volume of cuboidal vessel, V = 380 m3

Let the height of the given vessel be h.

Formula for Volume of a cuboid, V = l×b×h

Using formula, we have

l×b×h = 380

10×8×h= 380

Or h = 4.75

Therefore, the height of the vessels is 4.75 m.

4. Find the cost of digging a cuboidal pit 8m long, 6m broad and 3m deep at the rate of Rs 30 per m3.

Solution:

The given pit has its length(l) as 8m, width (b)as 6m and depth (h)as 3 m.

Volume of cuboidal pit = l×b×h = (8×6×3) = 144 (using formula)

Required Volume is 144 m3

Now,

Cost of digging per m3 volume = Rs 30

Cost of digging 144 m3 volume = Rs (144×30) = Rs 4320

5. The capacity of a cuboidal tank is 50000 litres of water. Find the breadth of the tank, if its length and depth are respectively 2.5 m and 10 m.

Solution:

Length (l) and depth (h) of tank is 2.5 m and 10 m respectively.

To find: The value of breadth, say b.

Formula to find the volume of a tank = l×b×h = (2.5× b×10) m3= 25b m3

Capacity of tank= 25b m3, which is equal to 25000b litres

Also, capacity of a cuboidal tank is 50000 litres of water (Given)

Therefore, 25000 b = 50000

This implies, b = 2

Therefore, the breadth of the tank is 2 m.

6. A village, having a population of 4000, requires 150 litres of water per head per day.

It has a tank measuring 20 m×15 m×6 m. For how many days will the water of this tank last?

Solution:

Length of the tank = l = 20 m

Breadth of the tank = b = 15 m

Height of the tank = h = 6 m

Total population of a village = 4000

Consumption of the water per head per day = 150 litres

Water consumed by the people in 1 day = (4000×150) litres = 600000 litres …(1)

Formula to find the capacity of tank, C = l×b×h

Using given data, we have

C = (20×15×6) m3= 1800 m3

Or C = 1800000 litres

Let water in this tank last for d days.

Water consumed by all people in d days = Capacity of tank (using equation (1))

600000 d =1800000

d = 3

Therefore, the water of this tank will last for 3 days. Answer

7. A godown measures 40 m×25m×15 m. Find the maximum number of wooden crates each

measuring 1.5m×1.25 m×0.5 m that can be stored in the godown.

Solution:

From statement, we have

Length of the godown = 40 m

Height = 15 m

Whereas,

Length of the wooden crate = 1.5 m

Height = 0.5 m

Since godown and wooden crate are in cuboidal shape. Find the volume of each using formula, V = lbh.

Now,

Volume of godown = (40×25×15) m3 = 15000 m3

Volume of a wooden crate = (1.5×1.25×0.5) m3 = 0.9375 m3

Let us consider that, n wooden crates can be stored in the godown, then

Volume of n wooden crates = Volume of godown

0.9375×n =15000

Or n= 15000/0.9375 = 16000

Hence, the number of wooden crates that can be stored in the godown is 16,000.

8. A solid cube of side 12 cm is cut into eight cubes of equal volume. What will be the side of the new cube? Also, find the ratio between their surface areas.

Solution:

Side of a cube = 12cm (Given)

Find the volume of cube:

Volume of cube = (Side)= (12)3cm3= 1728cm3

Surface area of a cube with side 12 cm = 6a= 6(12) 2 cm2 …(1)

Cube is cut into eight small cubes of equal volume, say side of each cube is p.

Volume of a small cube = p3

Surface area = 6p2 …(2)

Volume of each small cube = (1728/8) cm3 = 216 cm3

Or (p)3 = 216 cm3

Or p = 6 cm

Now, Surface areas of the cubes ratios = (Surface area of bigger cube)/(Surface area of smaller cubes)

From equation (1) and (2), we get

Surface areas of the cubes ratios = (6a2)/(6p2) = a2/p2 = 122/62 = 4

Therefore, the required ratio is 4 : 1.

9. A river 3m deep and 40m wide is flowing at the rate of 2km per hour. How much water will fall into the sea in a minute?

Solution:

Given:

Depth of river, h = 3 m

Width of river, b = 40 m

Rate of water flow = 2km per hour = 2000m/60min = 100/3 m/min

Now, Volume of water flowed in 1 min = (100/3) × 40 × 3 = 4000m3

Therefore, 4000 m3water will fall into the sea in a minute.

1. The circumference of the base of cylindrical vessel is 132cm and its height is 25cm.

How many litres of water can it hold? (1000 cm3= 1L) (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Circumference of the base of cylindrical vessel = 132 cm

Height of vessel, h = 25 cm

Let r be the radius of the cylindrical vessel.

Step 1: Find the radius of vessel

We know that, circumference of base = 2πr, so

2πr = 132 (given)

r = (132/(2 π))

r = 66×7/22 = 21

Step 2: Find the volume of vessel

Formula: Volume of cylindrical vessel = πr2h

= (22/7)×212×25

= 34650

Therefore, volume is 34650 cm3

Since, 1000 cm= 1L

So, Volume = 34650/1000 L= 34.65L

Therefore, vessel can hold 34.65 litres of water.

2. The inner diameter of a cylindrical wooden pipe is 24cm and its outer diameter is 28 cm. The length of the pipe is 35cm.Find the mass of the pipe, if 1cm3 of wood has a mass of 0.6g. (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Inner radius of cylindrical pipe, say r1 = diameter1/ 2 = 24/2 cm = 12cm

Outer radius of cylindrical pipe, say r2 = diameter2/ 2 = 28/2 cm = 14 cm

Height of pipe, h = Length of pipe = 35cm

Now, the Volume of pipe = π(r22-r12)h cm3

Substitute the values.

Volume of pipe = 110×52 cm= 5720 cm3

Since, Mass of 1 cm3 wood = 0.6 g

Mass of 5720 cm3 wood = (5720×0.6) g = 3432 g or 3.432 kg. Answer!

Solution:

1. tin can will be cuboidal in shape

Dimensions of tin can are

Length, l = 5 cm

Height, h = 15 cm

Capacity of tin can = l×b×h= (5×4×15) cm= 300 cm3

1. Plastic cylinder will be cylindrical in shape.

Dimensions of plastic can are:

Radius of circular end of plastic cylinder, r = 3.5cm

Height , H = 10 cm

Capacity of plastic cylinder = πr2H

Capacity of plastic cylinder = (22/7)×(3.5)2×10 = 385

Capacity of plastic cylinder is 385 cm3

From results of (i) and (ii), plastic cylinder has more capacity.

Difference in capacity = (385-300) cm3 = 85cm3

4. If the lateral surface of a cylinder is 94.2cm2 and its height is 5cm, then find

(i) radius of its base (ii) its volume.[Use π= 3.14]

Solution:

CSA of cylinder = 94.2 cm2

Height of cylinder, h = 5cm

(i) Let radius of cylinder be r.

Using CSA of cylinder, we get

2πrh = 94.2

2×3.14×r×5 = 94.2

r = 3

(ii) Volume of cylinder

Formula for volume of cylinder = πr2h

Now, πr2h = (3.14×(3)2×5) (using value of r from (i))

= 141.3

Volume is 141.3 cm3

5. It costs Rs 2200 to paint the inner curved surface of a cylindrical vessel 10m deep. If the cost of painting is at the rate of Rs 20 per m2, find

(i) inner curved surface area of the vessel

(iii) capacity of the vessel

(Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

(i) Rs 20 is the cost of painting 1 marea.

Rs 1 is the cost to paint 1/20 marea

So, Rs 2200 is the cost of painting = (1/20×2200) m2

= 110 m2 area

The inner surface area of the vessel is 110m2.

(ii) Radius of the base of the vessel, let us say r.

Height (h) = 10 m and

Surface area formula = 2πrh

Using result of (i)

2πrh = 110 m2

2×22/7×r×10 = 110

r = 1.75

(iii) Volume of vessel formula = πr2h

Here r = 1.75 and h = 10

Volume = (22/7)×(1.75)2×10 = 96.25

Volume of vessel is 96.25 m3

Therefore, the capacity of the vessel is 96.25 m3 or 96250 litres.

6. The capacity of a closed cylindrical vessel of height 1m is15.4 liters. How many square meters of metal sheet would be needed to make it? (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Height of cylindrical vessel, h = 1 m

Capacity of cylindrical vessel = 15.4 litres = 0.0154 m3

Let r be the radius of the circular end.

Now,

Capacity of cylindrical vessel = (22/7)×r2×1 = 0.0154

After simplifying, we get, r = 0.07 m

Again, total surface area of vessel = 2πr(r+h)

= 2×22/7×0.07(0.07+1)

= 0.44×1.07

= 0.4708

Total surface area of vessel is 0.4708 m2

Therefore, 0.4708 m2 of the metal sheet would be required to make the cylindrical vessel.

7. A lead pencil consists of a cylinder of wood with solid cylinder of graphite filled in the interior. The diameter of the pencil is 7 mm and the diameter of the graphite is 1 mm. If the length of the pencil is 14 cm, find the volume of the wood and that of the graphite. (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Radius of pencil, r= 7/2 mm = 0.7/2 cm = 0.35 cm

Radius of graphite, r= 1/2 mm = 0.1/2 cm = 0.05 cm

Height of pencil, h = 14 cm

Formula to find, volume of wood in pencil = (r12-r22)h cubic units

Substitute the values, we have

= [(22/7)×(0.352-0.052)×14]

= 44×0.12

= 5.28

This implies, volume of wood in pencil = 5.28 cm3

Again,

Volume of graphite = r22h cubic units

Substitute the values, we have

= (22/7)×0.052×14

= 44×0.0025

= 0.11

So, the volume of graphite is 0.11 cm3.

8. A patient in a hospital is given soup daily in a cylindrical bowl of diameter 7cm. If the bowl is filled with soup to a height of 4cm, how much soup the hospital has to prepare daily to serve 250 patients? (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Diameter of cylindrical bowl = 7 cm

Radius of cylindrical bowl, r = 7/2 cm = 3.5 cm

Bowl is filled with soup to a height of4cm, so h = 4 cm

Volume of soup in one bowl= πr2h

(22/7)×3.52×4 = 154

Volume of soup in one bowl is 154 cm3

Therefore,

Volume of soup given to 250 patients = (250×154) cm3= 38500 cm3

Slant height of cone, l = 25 cm

or h = 24

Height of the cone is 24 cm

Now,

Volume of cone, V = (1/3) πr2h (formula)

V = (1/3)×(22/7) ×72×24

= (154×8)

= 1232

So, the volume of the vessel is 1232 cm3

Therefore, capacity of the conical vessel = (1232/1000) liters (because 1L = 1000 cm3)

= 1.232 Liters.

(ii) Height of cone, h = 12 cm

Slant height of cone, l = 13 cm

r = 5

Hence, the radius of cone is 5 cm.

Now, Volume of cone, V = (1/3)πr2h

V = (1/3)×(22/7)×52×12 cm3

= 2200/7

Volume of cone is 2200/7 cm3

Now, Capacity of the conical vessel= 2200/7000 litres (1L = 1000 cm3)

= 11/35 litres

Let r be the radius of the cone

As we know: Volume of cone, V = (1/3) πr2h

So, (1/3) πr2h = 1570

(1/3)×3.14×r×15 = 1570

r2 = 100

r = 10

Radius of the base of cone 10 cm.

4. If the volume of a right circular cone of height 9cm is 48πcm3, find the diameter of its base.

Solution:

Height of cone, h = 9cm

Volume of cone =48π cm3

Let r be the radius of the cone.

As we know: Volume of cone, V = (1/3) πr2h

So, 1/3 π r2(9) = 48 π

r2 = 16

r = 4

Radius of cone is 4 cm.

So, diameter = 2×Radius = 8

Thus, diameter of base is 8cm.

5. A conical pit of top diameter 3.5m is 12m deep. What is its capacity in kiloliters?

(Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Diameter of conical pit = 3.5 m

Radius of conical pit, r = diameter/ 2 = (3.5/2)m = 1.75m

Height of pit, h = Depth of pit = 12m

Volume of cone, V = (1/3) πr2h

V = (1/3)×(22/7) ×(1.75)2×12 = 38.5

Volume of cone is 38.5 m3

Hence, capacity of the pit = (38.5×1) kiloliters = 38.5 kiloliters.

Let the height of the cone be h

Volume of cone, V = (1/3) πr2h

(1/3) πr2h = 9856

(1/3)×(22/7) ×14×14×h = 9856

h = 48

The height of the cone is 48 cm.

Slant height of the cone is 50 cm.

(iii) curved surface area of cone = πrl

Volume of cone, V = (1/3) πr2h

V = (1/3)×π×52×12

= 100π

Volume of the cone so formed is 100π cm3.

8. If the triangle ABC in the Question 7 is revolved about the side 5cm, then find the volume of the solids so obtained. Find also the ratio of the volumes of the two solids obtained in Questions 7 and 8.

Solution:

A right-angled ΔABC is revolved about its side 5cm, a cone will be formed of radius as 12 cm, height as 5 cm, and slant height as 13 cm.

Volume of cone = (1/3) πr2h; where r is the radius and h be the height of cone

= (1/3)×π×12×12×5

= 240 π

The volume of the cones of formed is 240π cm3.

So, required ratio = (result of question 7) / (result of question 8) = (100π)/(240π) = 5/12 = 5:12.

= (1/3)×(22/7)×5.25×5.25×3

= 86.625

The volume of the heap of wheat is 86.625 m3.

Again,

= (22/7)×5.25×6.05

= 99.825

Therefore, the area of the canvas is 99.825 m2.

Breadth = 85cm (see fig. 13.31). The thickness of the plank is 5cm everywhere. The external faces are to be polished and the inner faces are to be painted. If the rate of polishing is 20 paise per cm2 and the rate of painting is 10 paise per cm2, find the total expenses required for polishing and painting the surface of the bookshelf.

Solution:

External dimensions of book self,

Length, l = 85cm

Height, h = 110 cm

External surface area of shelf while leaving out the front face of the shelf

= lh+2(lb+bh)

= [85×110+2(85×25+25×110)] = (9350+9750) = 19100

External surface area of shelf is 19100 cm2

Area of front face = [85×110-75×100+2(75×5)] = 1850+750

So, area is 2600 cm2

Area to be polished = (19100+2600) cm= 21700 cm2.

Cost of polishing 1 cm2 area = Rs 0.20

Cost of polishing 21700 cm2 area Rs. (21700×0.20) = Rs 4340

Dimensions of row of the book shelf

Length(l) = 75 cm

Breadth (b) = 20 cm and

Height(h) = 30 cm

Area to be painted in one row= 2(l+h)b+lh = [2(75+30)× 20+75×30] = (4200+2250) = 6450

So, area is 6450 cm2.

Area to be painted in 3 rows = (3×6450)cm= 19350 cm2.

Cost of painting 1 cm2 area = Rs. 0.10

Cost of painting 19350 cm2 area = Rs (19350 x 0.1) = Rs 1935

Total expense required for polishing and painting = Rs. (4340+1935) = Rs. 6275

Answer: The cost for polishing and painting the surface of the book shelf is Rs. 6275.

2. The front compound wall of a house is decorated by wooden spheres of diameter 21 cm, placed on small supports as shown in fig. 13.32. Eight such spheres are used forth is purpose, and are to be painted silver. Each support is a cylinder of radius 1.5cm and height 7cm and is to be painted black. Find the cost of paint required if silver paint costs 25 paise per cm2 and black paint costs 5 paise per cm2.

Solution:

Diameter of wooden sphere = 21 cm

Radius of wooden sphere, r = diameter/ 2 = (21/2) cm = 10.5 cm

Formula: Surface area of wooden sphere = 4πr2

= 4×(22/7)×(10.5)= 1386

So, surface area is 1386 cm3

Radius of the circular end of cylindrical support = 1.5 cm

Height of cylindrical support = 7 cm

Curved surface area = 2πrh

= 2×(22/7)×1.5×7 = 66

So, CSA is 66 cm2

Now,

Area of the circular end of cylindrical support = πr2

= (22/7)×1.52

= 7.07

Area of the circular end is 7.07 cm2

Again,

Area to be painted silver = [8 ×(1386-7.07)] = 8×1378.93 = 11031.44

Area to be painted is 11031.44 cm2

Cost for painting with silver colour = Rs(11031.44×0.25) =Rs 2757.86

Area to be painted black = (8×66) cm2 = 528 cm2

Cost for painting with black colour =Rs (528×0.05) = Rs26.40

Therefore, the total painting cost is:

= Rs(2757.86 +26.40)

= Rs 2784.26

3. The diameter of a sphere is decreased by 25%. By what percent does its curved surface area decrease?

Solution:

Let the diameter of the sphere be “d”.

Radius of sphere, r1 = d/2

New radius of sphere, say r2 = (d/2)×(1-25/100) = 3d/8

Curved surface area of sphere, (CSA)1 = 4πr12 = 4π×(d/2)2 = πd2 …(1)

Curved surface area of sphere when radius is decreased (CSA)= 4πr22 = 4π×(3d/8)2 = (9/16)πd2 …(2)

From equation (1) and (2), we have

Decrease in surface area of sphere = (CSA)1 – (CSA)2

= πd– (9/16)πd2

= (7/16)πd2

Percentage decrease in Surface area of sphere;

$=\frac{(C S A)_{1}-(\mathrm{CSA})_{2}}{(\mathrm{CSA})_{1}} \times 100$

= (7d2/16d2)×100 = 700/16 = 43.75% .

Therefore, the percentage decrease in the surface area of the sphere is 43.75% .

1. A traffic signal board, indicating ‘SCHOOL AHEAD’, is an equilateral triangle with side ‘a’. Find the area of the signal board, using Heron’s formula. If its perimeter is 180 cm, what will be the area of the signal board? Solution: Given, Side of the signal board = a Perimeter of the signal board = 3a = 180 cm ∴ a = 60 cm Semi perimeter of the signal board (s) = 3a/2 By using Heron’s formula, Area of the triangular signal board will be = 2. The triangular side walls of a flyover have been used for advertisements. The sides of the walls are 122 m, 22 m and 120 m (see Fig. 12.9). The advertisements yield an earning of ₹5000 per m2 per year. A company hired one of its walls for 3 months. How much rent did it pay? Solution: The sides of the triangle ABC are 122 m, 22 m and 120 m respectively. Now, the perimeter will be (122+22+120) = 264 m Also, the semi perimeter (s) = 264/2 = 132 m Using Heron’s formula, Area of the triangle = =1320 m2

We know that the rent of advertising per year = ₹ 5000 per m2

∴ The rent of one wall for 3 months = Rs. (1320×5000×3)/12 = Rs. 1650000 3. There is a slide in a park. One of its side walls has been painted in some colour with a message “KEEP THE PARK GREEN AND CLEAN” (see Fig. 12.10 ). If the sides of the wall are 15 m, 11 m and 6 m, find the area painted in colour. Solution: It is given that the sides of the wall as 15 m, 11 m and 6 m. So, the semi perimeter of triangular wall (s) = (15+11+6)/2 m = 16 m Using Heron’s formula, Area of the message = = √[16(16-15)(16-11) (16-6)] m2 = √[16×1×5×10] m= √800 m2 = 20√2 m2 4. Find the area of a triangle two sides of which are 18 cm and 10 cm and the perimeter is 42cm. Solution: Assume the third side of the triangle to be “x”. Now, the three sides of the triangle are 18 cm, 10 cm, and “x” cm It is given that the perimeter of the triangle = 42cm So, x = 42-(18+10) cm = 14 cm ∴ The semi perimeter of triangle = 42/2 = 21 cm Using Heron’s formula, Area of the triangle, = = √[21(21-18)(21-10)(21-14)] cm2 = √[21×3×11×7] m2 = 21√11 cm2 5. Sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 12 : 17 : 25 and its perimeter is 540cm. Find its area. Solution: The ratio of the sides of the triangle are given as 12 : 17 : 25 Now, let the common ratio between the sides of the triangle be “x” ∴ The sides are 12x, 17x and 25x It is also given that the perimeter of the triangle = 540 cm 12x+17x+25x = 540 cm 54x = 540cm So, x = 10 Now, the sides of triangle are 120 cm, 170 cm, 250 cm. So, the semi perimeter of the triangle (s) = 540/2 = 270 cm Using Heron’s formula, Area of the triangle = 9000 cm2 6. An isosceles triangle has perimeter 30 cm and each of the equal sides is 12 cm. Find the area of the triangle. Solution: First, let the third side be x. It is given that the length of the equal sides is 12 cm and its perimeter is 30 cm. So, 30 = 12+12+x ∴ The length of the third side = 6 cm Thus, the semi perimeter of the isosceles triangle (s) = 30/2 cm = 15 cm Using Heron’s formula, Area of the triangle = = √[15(15-12)(15-12)(15-6)] cm2 = √[15×3×3×9] cm2 = 9√15 cm2

Heron’s formula is used to find the area of a triangle, provided if the length of the 3 sides are given. Apart from the formula, Heron contributed in many other ways, and the most notable was the invention of the very first steam engine. It was called the Aeolipile and technically, it didn’t resemble an engine. However, no practical applications could be identified and instead, it was used as a toy and a novelty for the ancient Greeks.
