width (b) = 1.25 m
and depth (h) = 65 cm

Question 2:

Answer:

Question 3:

Answer:

Let length of the room (l) = 5 m
breadth (b) = 4 m
and hight (h) = 3 m
Area of the four walls of room
= Lateral surface area
= 2 (bh + hl)
= 2 (b + l) h
= 2 (4 + 5) 3
= 2 × 9 × 3
= 54 m2
Area of the ceiling = l × b
= (5 × 4) m2
= 20 m2

Question 4:

Answer:

Let length of the rectangular hall = l m
breadth = b m
Perimeter of floor of rectangular hall
= 2 (l + b) = 250 m ... (i)
Now area of the four walls of the room

Question 5:

The paint in a certain container is sufficient to paint an area equal to 9.375 m2. How many bricks of dimensions 22.5 cm × 10 cm × 7.5 cm can be painted out of this container?

Answer:

Let length of brick (l) = 22.5 cm
breadth (b) = 10 cm
and height (h) = 7.5 cm
Surface area of one brick = 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 (22.5 × 10 + 10 × 7.5 + 7.5 × 22.5)
= 2 (225 + 75 + 168.75)
= 2 × 468.75

Question 6:

A cubical box has each edge 10 cm and a cuboidal box is 10 cm wide, 12. 5 cm long and 8 cm high. Which box has the greater lateral surface area and by how much?

Answer:

Let length of cubical box, l = 10 cm
Lateral surface area of cubical box
= Area of its four walls

= 4 times area of a wall
= 4 l2
= 4 (10)2
= 4 (10 × 10)
= 4 × 100
= 400 cm2 ... (a)
Now, for cuboidal box
length, l = 12.5 cm
width, b = 10 cm
and height, h = 8 cm
Lateral surface area of cuboidal box
= Area of its four walls

= 2(l + b) h
= 2 (12.5 + 10) 8
= 2 (22.5) 8 = 2 × 22.5 × 8
= 360 cm2 ... (b)
From (a) and (b) we observe that cubical box has the greater lateral surface area than cuboidal box by (400 – 360) cm2 i.e. by 40 cm2.

Question 7:

A cubical box has each edge 10 cm and a cuboidal box is 10 cm wide, 12. 5 cm long and 8 cm high.
Which box has the smaller total surface area and by how much?

Answer:

Let length of cubical box, l = 10 cm
Total surface of a cubical box = 6 l2
= 6 (10)2
= 6 × 10 × 10
= 600 cm2 ... (c)
Total surface area of cuboidal box
= 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 (12.5 × 10 + 10 × 8 + 8 × 12.5)
= 2 (125 + 80 + 100)
= 2 × 305
= 610 cm2 ... (d)
From (c) and (d) we observe that the cubical box has the smaller total surface area than the cuboidal box by (610 – 600) cm2 i.e., by 10 cm2.

Question 8:

A small indoor greenhouse (herbarium) is made entirely of glass panes (including base) held together with tape. It is 30 cm long, 25 cm wide and 25 cm high.
What is the surface area of the glass?

Answer:

Let length of glass herbarium, l = 30 cm
breadth (width), b = 25 cm
and height, h = 25 cm

Total surface area of the glass
= 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 (30 × 25 + 25 × 25 + 25 × 30)
= 2 (750 + 625 + 750)
= 2 × 2125 = 4250 cm2
Hence, 4250 cm2 of the glass is required to make a herbarium.

Question 9:

A small indoor greenhouse (herbarium) is made entirely of glass panes (including base) held together with tape. It is 30 cm long, 25 cm wide and 25 cm high.
How much of tape is needed for all the 12 edges?

Answer:

Tape is used at 12 edges
i.e. at 4 lengths, 4 breadths and 4 heights.
Total length of tape = 4 (l + b + h)
= 4 (30 + 25 + 25) cm
= 4 (80) cm
= 320 cm
Hence, 320 cm of the tape is needed to fix 12 edges of herbarium.

Question 10:

Shanti Sweets Stall was placing an order for making cardboard boxes for packing their sweets. Two sizes of boxes were required. The dimensions of bigger box are 25 cm by 20 cm by 5 cm and the dimensions of smaller box are 15 cm by 12 cm by 5 cm. For all the overlaps 5% of the total surface area is required extra. If the cost of the cardboard is `4 for 1000 cm2, find the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind.

Answer:

Let length of bigger cardboard box, L = 25 cm
breadth, B = 20 cm
and height, H = 5 cm

Total surface area of bigger cardboard box
= 2(LB + BH + HL)
= 2 (25 × 20 + 20 × 5 + 5 × 25) cm2
= 2 (500 + 100 + 125) cm2
= 2 (725) cm2
= 1450 cm2
5% extra surface of total surface area is required for all the overlaps.

Question 11:

Parveen 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 2.5 m with base dimensions 4 m × 3 m?

Answer:

Let length of base, l = 4 m
and breadth of base, b = 3 m
and height of structure, h = 2.5 m
Tarpaulin required to make the shelter
= Surface area of four walls + Area
of the roof
= 2 (l + b) h + lb
= 2 (4 + 3) 2.5 + 4 × 3
= 2 × 7 × 2.5 + 12
= 35 + 12
= 47 m2
Hence, 47 m2 of the tarpaulin is required to make the shelter for the car.

In figure, 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 [see fig.].

Answer:

Frame is divided into three equal cylindrical parts
Let h be the height of each part

r = 10 cm
Let hight of top and bottom parts of frame due to
margin of 2.5 cm given for folding = H
H = r + 2.5
H = 10 + 2.5
H = 12.5 cm
Now, cloth required for covering the lampshade
= Curved surface area of top part
+ Curved surface area of middle part
+ Curved surface area of bottom part
= 2 π rH + 2 π rh + 2 π rH
= 2 π r (H + h + H)

h = 1.5 cm for a cuboidal matchbox.

Volume of a matchbox = l × b × h
= (4 × 2.5 × 1.5) cm3
= 15 cm3
Now we have, volume of a matchbox = 15 cm3
Volume of a packet containing 12 such match - boxes
= (12 × 15) cm3 = 180 cm3

Question 53:

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

Answer:

Volume of water in cuboidal tank
= 6 m × 5 m × 4.5 m
[ Volume of a cuboid = length × breadth × height]

= 135 m3
= 135 × 1000 litres
[ 1 m3 = 1000 litres]
= 1,35,000 litres
Hence, tank can hold 1,35,000 litres of water.

Question 54:

= Length × Breadth × Height
= 20 m × 15 m × 6 m
= 1800 m3)
= 1800 × 1000 litres
[ 1 m3 = 1000 litres]
= 1800000 litres
Water required by per head per day = 150 litres
Water required by 4000 persons per day
= (150 × 4000) litres
= 600000 litres
Number of days the water will last

Since water flows at the rate of 2 km per hour. So,
the volume of water flowing into the sea in one
hour = Volume of a cuboid
= l × b × h
= 2000 m × 40 m × 3 m
[ 1 km = 1000 m]
= 240000 m3
Now,
Volume of water flowing into sea in 1 hour i.e., in 60 minutes = 240000 m3
Volume of water flowing into sea in 1 minute

Answer:

Surface area of sphere = 154 cm2
Let radius of sphere = R
Surface area of sphere = 4 π R2
4 π R2 = 154

Question 94:

Answer:

Question 96:

Twenty seven solid iron spheres, each of radius r and surface area S are melted to form a sphere with surface area S′. Find the radius r ′ area of the new sphere.

Answer:

Question 97:

Twenty seven solid iron spheres, each of radius r and surface area S are melted to form a sphere with surface area S′. Find the ratio of S and S′.

Answer:

Now S is surface area of sphere and r is the radius
S = 4 π r2 ...(III)
S′ is the surface area of new sphere and r′ is the radius
S′ = 4 π r′2 = 4 π (3r)2 [ r′ = 3r]
S′ = 4 π × 3r × 3r = 36 π r2 ... (IV)

Question 98:

A capsule of medicine is in th shape of a sphere of diameter 3.5 mm. How much medicine (in mms) is needed to fill this capsule?

Answer:

Question 99:

A wooden bookshelf has external dimensions as follows: Height = 110 cm, Depth = 25 cm, Breadth = 85 cm [See fig.]. The thickness of the planks is 5 cm 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.

Answer:

Question 100:

The front compound wall of a house is decorated by wooden spheres of diameter 21 cm, placed on small supports as shown in Fig. Eight such spheres are used for this purpose, and are to be painted silver. Each support is a cylinder of radius 1.5 cm and height 7 cm 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.

Answer:

Let radius of a wooden sphere = R
diameter, 2R = 21 cm

Question 101:
