1(i)Exercise 24A

Find the volume, the total surface area and the lateral surface area of the cuboid having length = 24 cm, breadth = 16 cm and height = 7.5 cm.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the cuboid (l) = 24 cm

Breadth of the cuboid (b) = 16 cm

Height of the cuboid (h) = 7.5 cm

Volume of a cuboid = l × b × h

= 24 × 16 × 7.5 cm3

= 2880 cm3

As we know, the total surface area of the cuboid = 2(l × b + b × h + h × l)

= 2(24 × 16 + 16 × 7.5 + 7.5 × 24) cm2

= 2(384 + 120 + 180) cm2

= 2 × 684 cm2

= 1368 cm2

As we know, the lateral surface area of the cuboid = 2(l + b) × h

= 2(24 + 16) × 7.5 cm2

= 2 × 40 × 7.5 cm2

= 600 cm2

Hence, the volume is 2880 cm3, the total surface area is 1368 cm2 and the lateral surface area is 600 cm2.

1(ii)Exercise 24A

Find the volume, the total surface area and the lateral surface area of the cuboid having length = 10 m, breadth = 35 cm and height = 1.2 m.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the cuboid (l) = 10 m

Breadth of the cuboid (b) = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Height of the cuboid (h) = 1.2 m

Volume of a cuboid = l × b × h

= 10 × 0.35 × 1.2 m3

= 4.2 m3

As we know, the total surface area of the cuboid = 2(l × b + b × h + h × l)

= 2(10 × 0.35 + 0.35 × 1.2 + 1.2 × 10) m2

= 2(3.5 + 0.42 + 12) m2

= 2 × 15.92 m2

= 31.84 m2

As we know, the lateral surface area of the cuboid = 2(l + b) × h

= 2(10 + 0.35) × 1.2 m2

= 2 × 10.35 × 1.2 m2

= 24.84 m2

Hence, the volume is 4.2 m3, the total surface area is 31.84 m2 and the lateral surface area is 24.84 m2.

2Exercise 24A

Find the capacity of a rectangular cistern whose length is 6 m, breadth 2.5 m and depth 1.4 m. Also find the area of the iron sheet required to make the cistern.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the cistern (l) = 6 m

Breadth of the cistern (b) = 2.5 m

Depth of the cistern (h) = 1.4 m

Capacity of the cistern = Volume of the cistern = l × b × h

= 6 × 2.5 × 1.4 m3

= 21 m3

Area of the iron sheet required = Total surface area of the cistern

As we know, the total surface area of the cuboid = 2(l × b + b × h + h × l)

= 2(6 × 2.5 + 2.5 × 1.4 + 1.4 × 6) m2

= 2(15 + 3.5 + 8.4) m2

= 2 × 26.9 m2

= 53.8 m2

Hence, the capacity of the cistern is 21 m3 and the area of the iron sheet required is 53.8 m2.

3Exercise 24A

A wall of length 13.5 m, width 60 cm and height 1.6 m is to be constructed by using bricks, each of dimensions 22.5 cm by 12 cm by 8 cm. How many bricks will be needed?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the wall = 13.5 m = 1350 cm

Width of the wall = 60 cm

Height of the wall = 1.6 m = 160 cm

Volume of the wall = length × width × height

= 1350 × 60 × 160 cm3

= 12960000 cm3

Length of the brick = 22.5 cm

Width of the brick = 12 cm

Height of the brick = 8 cm

Volume of one brick = length × width × height

= 22.5 × 12 × 8 cm3

= 2160 cm3

Let $a$ be the number of bricks.

Number of bricks = $\frac{\text{Volume of wall}}{\text{Volume of one brick}}$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow a = \frac{12960000}{2160}\\[1em] \Rightarrow a = 6000\end{aligned}$$

Hence, 6000 bricks will be needed to construct the wall.

4Exercise 24A

How many planks each measuring 5 m by 24 cm by 10 cm can be stored in a place 15 m long, 4 m wide and 60 cm deep?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the place = 15 m = 1500 cm

Width of the place = 4 m = 400 cm

Depth of the place = 60 cm

Volume of the place = length × width × depth

= 1500 × 400 × 60 cm3

= 36000000 cm3

Length of the plank = 5 m = 500 cm

Width of the plank = 24 cm

Height of the plank = 10 cm

Volume of one plank = length × width × height

= 500 × 24 × 10 cm3

= 120000 cm3

Here, it is assumed that the planks can be packed in the place without leaving any unused space.

Let $a$ be the number of planks.

Number of planks = $\frac{\text{Volume of the place}}{\text{Volume of one plank}}$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow a = \frac{36000000}{120000}\\[1em] \Rightarrow a = 300\end{aligned}$$

Hence, 300 planks can be stored in the place.

5Exercise 24A

A classroom is 10 m long, 6.4 m broad and 5 m high. If each student be given 1.6 m2 of the floor area, how many students can be accommodated in the room? How many cubic metres of air would each student get?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the classroom (l) = 10 m

Breadth of the classroom (b) = 6.4 m

Height of the classroom (h) = 5 m

Area of the floor of the classroom = l × b

= 10 × 6.4 m2

= 64 m2

Floor area given to each student = 1.6 m2

Number of students = $\frac{\text{Area of the floor}}{\text{Floor area for each student}} = \frac{64}{1.6} = 40$

Volume of the room = l × b × h

= 10 × 6.4 × 5 m3

= 320 m3

Air available to each student = $\frac{\text{Volume of the room}}{\text{Number of students}}$

= $\frac{320}{40}$ m3

= 8 m3

Hence, 40 students can be accommodated in the room and each student gets 8 m3 of air.

6Exercise 24A

Find the length of the longest pole that can be placed in a room 12 m long, 8 m broad and 9 m high.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the room ($l$) = 12 m

Breadth of the room ($b$) = 8 m

Height of the room ($h$) = 9 m

Length of the longest pole = Length of the diagonal of the room

The diagonal of the floor, the height of the room and the diagonal of the room form a right-angled triangle.

By Pythagoras' theorem,

(Diagonal of the floor)2 = $l^2 + b^2$

(Diagonal of the room)2 = (Diagonal of the floor)2 + $h^2 = l^2 + b^2 + h^2$

Length of the diagonal of the room ($d$) = $\sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2}$

$$\begin{aligned}= \sqrt{12^2 + 8^2 + 9^2}\\[1em] = \sqrt{144 + 64 + 81}\\[1em] = \sqrt{289}\\[1em] = 17 \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the length of the longest pole that can be placed in the room is 17 m.

7Exercise 24A

The volume of a cuboid is 972 m3. If its length and breadth be 16 m and 13.5 m respectively, find its height.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Volume of the cuboid = 972 m3

Length of the cuboid ($l$) = 16 m

Breadth of the cuboid ($b$) = 13.5 m

Let $h$ be the height of the cuboid.

Volume of a cuboid = $l \times b \times h$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 16 \times 13.5 \times h = 972\\[1em] \Rightarrow 216 \times h = 972\\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \frac{972}{216}\\[1em] \Rightarrow h = 4.5 \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the height of the cuboid is 4.5 m.

8Exercise 24A

The volume of a cuboid is 1296 m3. Its length is 24 m and its breadth and height are in the ratio 3 : 2. Find the breadth and height of the cuboid.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Volume of the cuboid = 1296 m3

Length of the cuboid ($l$) = 24 m

The breadth and height of the cuboid are in the ratio 3 : 2.

Let breadth of the cuboid ($b$) = $3a$ m and height of the cuboid ($h$) = $2a$ m, where $a \gt 0$.

Volume of a cuboid = $l \times b \times h$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 24 \times 3a \times 2a = 1296\\[1em] \Rightarrow 144a^2 = 1296\\[1em] \Rightarrow a^2 = \frac{1296}{144}\\[1em] \Rightarrow a^2 = 9\end{aligned}$$

Since lengths cannot be negative, we take the positive square root.

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow a = \sqrt{9}\\[1em] \Rightarrow a = 3\end{aligned}$$

Thus, breadth of the cuboid = $3a$ = 3 × 3 m = 9 m

Height of the cuboid = $2a$ = 2 × 3 m = 6 m

Hence, the breadth of the cuboid is 9 m and the height is 6 m.

9Exercise 24A

The surface area of a cuboid is 468 cm2. Its length and breadth are 12 cm and 9 cm respectively. Find its height.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Surface area of the cuboid = 468 cm2

Length of the cuboid ($l$) = 12 cm

Breadth of the cuboid ($b$) = 9 cm

Let $h$ be the height of the cuboid.

As we know, the total surface area of the cuboid = $2(l \times b + b \times h + h \times l)$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2(12 \times 9 + 9 \times h + h \times 12) = 468\\[1em] \Rightarrow 12 \times 9 + 9 \times h + h \times 12 = \frac{468}{2}\\[1em] \Rightarrow 108 + 9h + 12h = 234\\[1em] \Rightarrow 21h = 234 - 108\\[1em] \Rightarrow 21h = 126\\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \frac{126}{21}\\[1em] \Rightarrow h = 6 \text{ cm}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, the height of the cuboid is 6 cm.

10Exercise 24A

The length, breadth and height of a room are 8 m, 6.5 m and 3.5 m respectively. Find

(i) the area of 4 walls of the room.

(ii) the area of the floor of the room.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given:

Length of the room (l) = 8 m

Breadth of the room (b) = 6.5 m

Height of the room (h) = 3.5 m

As we know, the area of 4 walls of the room = 2(l + b) × h

= 2(8 + 6.5) × 3.5 m2

= 2 × 14.5 × 3.5 m2

= 101.5 m2

Hence, the area of 4 walls of the room is 101.5 m2.

(ii) Area of the floor of the room = l × b

= 8 × 6.5 m2

= 52 m2

Hence, the area of the floor of the room is 52 m2.

11Exercise 24A

A room 9 m long, 6 m broad and 3.6 m high has one door 1.4 m by 2 m and two windows, each 1.6 m by 75 cm. Find:

(i) the area of 4 walls, excluding doors and windows;

(ii) the cost of white-washing the walls from inside at the rate of ₹ 22.50 per m2;

(iii) the cost of painting its ceiling at ₹ 25 per m2.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given:

Length of the room (l) = 9 m

Breadth of the room (b) = 6 m

Height of the room (h) = 3.6 m

As we know, the area of 4 walls of the room = 2(l + b) × h

= 2(9 + 6) × 3.6 m2

= 2 × 15 × 3.6 m2

= 108 m2

Area of one door = 1.4 × 2 m2 = 2.8 m2

Area of two windows = 2 × (1.6 × 0.75) m2

= 2 × 1.2 m2

= 2.4 m2

Area not to be white-washed = (Area of 1 door) + (Area of 2 windows)

= 2.8 + 2.4 m2

= 5.2 m2

Area of 4 walls, excluding doors and windows = 108 - 5.2 m2

= 102.8 m2

Hence, the area of 4 walls, excluding doors and windows, is 102.8 m2.

(ii) Area to be white-washed = 102.8 m2

Rate of white-washing = ₹ 22.50 per m2

Cost of white-washing = Area to be white-washed × Rate of white-washing

= 102.8 × ₹ 22.50

= ₹ 2,313

Hence, the cost of white-washing the walls from inside is ₹ 2,313.

(iii) Area of the ceiling = l × b

= 9 × 6 m2

= 54 m2

Rate of painting = ₹ 25 per m2

Cost of painting the ceiling = Area of the ceiling × Rate of painting

= 54 × ₹ 25

= ₹ 1,350

Hence, the cost of painting the ceiling is ₹ 1,350.

12Exercise 24A

An assembly hall is 45 m long, 30 m broad and 16 m high. It has five doors, each measuring 4 m by 3.5 m and four windows 2.5 m by 1.6 m each. Find

(i) the cost of papering its walls at the rate of ₹ 35 per m2;

(ii) the cost of carpeting its floor at the rate of ₹ 154 per m2.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given:

Length of the assembly hall (l) = 45 m

Breadth of the assembly hall (b) = 30 m

Height of the assembly hall (h) = 16 m

As we know, the area of 4 walls of the hall = 2(l + b) × h

= 2(45 + 30) × 16 m2

= 2 × 75 × 16 m2

= 2400 m2

Area of five doors = 5 × (4 × 3.5) m2

= 5 × 14 m2

= 70 m2

Area of four windows = 4 × (2.5 × 1.6) m2

= 4 × 4 m2

= 16 m2

Area not to be papered = (Area of 5 doors) + (Area of 4 windows)

= 70 + 16 m2

= 86 m2

Area to be papered = 2400 - 86 m2

= 2314 m2

Rate of papering = ₹ 35 per m2

Cost of papering the walls = Area to be papered × Rate of papering

= 2314 × ₹ 35

= ₹ 80,990

Hence, the cost of papering the walls of the assembly hall is ₹ 80,990.

(ii) Area of the floor of the hall = l × b

= 45 × 30 m2

= 1350 m2

Rate of carpeting = ₹ 154 per m2

Cost of carpeting the floor = Area of the floor × Rate of carpeting

= 1350 × ₹ 154

= ₹ 2,07,900

Hence, the cost of carpeting the floor of the assembly hall is ₹ 2,07,900.

13Exercise 24A

The length, breadth and height of a cuboid are in the ratio 7 : 6 : 5. If the surface area of the cuboid is 1926 cm2, find its dimensions. Also find the volume of the cuboid.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

The length, breadth and height of a cuboid are in the ratio 7 : 6 : 5.

Surface area of the cuboid = 1926 cm2

Let the length, breadth and height of the cuboid be $7a, 6a$ and $5a$.

As we know, the total surface area of the cuboid = 2(l × b + b × h + h × l)

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2(7a \times 6a + 6a \times 5a + 5a \times 7a) = 1926\\[1em] \Rightarrow 2(42a^2 + 30a^2 + 35a^2) = 1926\\[1em] \Rightarrow 2 \times 107a^2 = 1926\\[1em] \Rightarrow 214a^2 = 1926\\[1em] \Rightarrow a^2 = \frac{1926}{214}\\[1em] \Rightarrow a^2 = 9\\[1em] \Rightarrow a = \sqrt{9}\\[1em] \Rightarrow a = 3\end{aligned}$$

Thus, length of the cuboid (l) = $7a$ = 7 × 3 cm = 21 cm

Breadth of the cuboid (b) = $6a$ = 6 × 3 cm = 18 cm

Height of the cuboid (h) = $5a$ = 5 × 3 cm = 15 cm

Volume of a cuboid = l × b × h

= 21 × 18 × 15 cm3

= 5670 cm3

Hence, the dimensions of the cuboid are 21 cm, 18 cm and 15 cm and the volume is 5670 cm3.

14Exercise 24A

If the areas of the three adjacent faces of a cuboidal box are 120 cm2, 72 cm2 and 60 cm2 respectively, then find the volume of the box.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let $l, b$ and $h$ be the length, breadth and height of the cuboidal box.

Then, $l \times b$ = 120 cm2, $b \times h$ = 72 cm2 and $l \times h$ = 60 cm2.

Multiplying the three areas, we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow (l \times b) \times (b \times h) \times (l \times h) = 120 \times 72 \times 60\\[1em] \Rightarrow l^2 \times b^2 \times h^2 = 518400\\[1em] \Rightarrow (lbh)^2 = 518400\\[1em] \Rightarrow lbh = \sqrt{518400}\\[1em] \Rightarrow lbh = 720\end{aligned}$$

Volume of a cuboid = $l \times b \times h$

= 720 cm3

Hence, the volume of the box is 720 cm3.

15Exercise 24A

A river 2 m deep and 40 m wide is flowing at the rate of 4.5 km per hour. How many cubic metres of water runs into the sea per minute?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Depth of the river = 2 m

Width of the river = 40 m

Rate of flow of the river = 4.5 km per hour = 4.5 × 1000 m per hour = 4500 m per hour

The water that runs into the sea in 1 hour forms a cuboid whose length is 4500 m, breadth is 40 m and height is 2 m.

Volume of water flowing in 1 hour = length × width × depth

= 4500 × 40 × 2 m3

= 360000 m3

As we know, 1 hour = 60 minutes

Volume of water flowing in 1 minute = $\frac{360000}{60}$ m3

= 6000 m3

Hence, 6000 m3 of water runs into the sea per minute.

16Exercise 24A

A closed wooden box 80 cm long, 65 cm wide and 45 cm high, is made up of wood 2.5 cm thick. Find (i) the capacity of the box (ii) the weight of the box, if 100 cm3 of wood weighs 8 grams.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given:

External length of the box (L) = 80 cm

External width of the box (B) = 65 cm

External height of the box (H) = 45 cm

Thickness of wood = 2.5 cm

As the box is closed, the thickness is to be subtracted from both the ends of each dimension.

Internal length of the box (l) = (80 - 2 × 2.5) cm = (80 - 5) cm = 75 cm

Internal width of the box (b) = (65 - 2 × 2.5) cm = (65 - 5) cm = 60 cm

Internal height of the box (h) = (45 - 2 × 2.5) cm = (45 - 5) cm = 40 cm

Capacity of the box = Internal volume of the box = l × b × h

= 75 × 60 × 40 cm3

= 180000 cm3

Hence, the capacity of the box is 180000 cm3.

(ii) External volume of the box = L × B × H

= 80 × 65 × 45 cm3

= 234000 cm3

Volume of wood = (External volume) - (Internal volume)

= 234000 - 180000 cm3

= 54000 cm3

Weight of 100 cm3 of wood = 8 grams

Weight of the box = $\frac{54000}{100}$ × 8 grams

= 540 × 8 grams

= 4320 grams

= $\frac{4320}{1000}$ kg

= 4.32 kg

Hence, the weight of the box is 4.32 kg.

17Exercise 24A

The external dimensions of a wooden box, open at the top are 54 cm by 30 cm by 16 cm. It is made of wood 2 cm thick. Calculate (i) the capacity of the box (ii) the volume of wood.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given:

External length of the box (L) = 54 cm

External width of the box (B) = 30 cm

External height of the box (H) = 16 cm

Thickness of wood = 2 cm

Since the box is open at the top, the thickness is to be subtracted from both the ends of the length and the width, but only from the bottom of the height.

Internal length of the box (l) = (54 - 2 × 2) cm = (54 - 4) cm = 50 cm

Internal width of the box (b) = (30 - 2 × 2) cm = (30 - 4) cm = 26 cm

Internal height of the box (h) = (16 - 2) cm = 14 cm

Capacity of the box = Internal volume of the box = l × b × h

= 50 × 26 × 14 cm3

= 18200 cm3

Hence, the capacity of the box is 18200 cm3.

(ii) External volume of the box = L × B × H

= 54 × 30 × 16 cm3

= 25920 cm3

Volume of wood = (External volume) - (Internal volume)

= 25920 - 18200 cm3

= 7720 cm3

Hence, the volume of wood is 7720 cm3.

18Exercise 24A

The internal dimensions of a closed box, made up of iron 1 cm thick, are 24 cm by 18 cm by 12 cm. Find the volume of iron in the box.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Internal length of the box (l) = 24 cm

Internal width of the box (b) = 18 cm

Internal height of the box (h) = 12 cm

Thickness of iron = 1 cm

Internal volume of the box = l × b × h

= 24 × 18 × 12 cm3

= 5184 cm3

As the box is closed, the thickness is to be added to both the ends of each dimension.

External length of the box (L) = (24 + 2 × 1) cm = (24 + 2) cm = 26 cm

External width of the box (B) = (18 + 2 × 1) cm = (18 + 2) cm = 20 cm

External height of the box (H) = (12 + 2 × 1) cm = (12 + 2) cm = 14 cm

External volume of the box = L × B × H

= 26 × 20 × 14 cm3

= 7280 cm3

Volume of iron = (External volume) - (Internal volume)

= 7280 - 5184 cm3

= 2096 cm3

Hence, the volume of iron in the box is 2096 cm3.

= 169 cm2

As we know, the diagonal of the cube = a$\sqrt{3}$

= 6.5 × 1.73 cm

= 11.245 cm

Hence, the volume is 274.625 cm3, the total surface area is 253.5 cm2, the lateral surface area is 169 cm2 and the diagonal is 11.245 cm.

Radius of the cylindrical tank ($r$) = 14 m

Let $h$ be the depth of the tank.

Volume of a cylinder = $\pi r^2h$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} \times 14^2 \times h = 6160\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} \times 196 \times h = 6160\\[1em] \Rightarrow 616 \times h = 6160\\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \frac{6160}{616}\\[1em] \Rightarrow h = 10\end{aligned}$$

So, $r + h$ = 37

Total surface area of a cylinder = $2\pi r(r + h)$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 37 = 1628\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1628}{7} \times r = 1628\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = \frac{1628 \times 7}{1628}\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = \frac{\cancel{1628} \times 7}{\cancel{1628}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 7\end{aligned}$$

A swimming pool 70 m × 44 m × 3 m is filled by water issuing from a pipe of diameter 35 cm at 6 m per second. How many hours does it take to fill the pool?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the swimming pool (l) = 70 m

Breadth of the swimming pool (b) = 44 m

Depth of the swimming pool (h) = 3 m

Diameter of the pipe = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Rate of flow of water = 6 m per second

Volume of the pool = l × b × h

= 70 × 44 × 3 m3

= 9240 m3

Radius of the pipe (r) = $\frac{0.35}{2}$ m = 0.175 m

The water issuing from the pipe in 1 second forms a cylinder of radius 0.175 m whose length is 6 m (the distance the water flows in 1 second).

Volume of water released in 1 second = π × (0.175)2 × 6 m3

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{22}{7} \times (0.175)^2 \times 6\\[1em] = \frac{22}{7} \times 0.030625 \times 6\\[1em] = \frac{4.0425}{7}\\[1em] = 0.5775\end{aligned}$$

Volume of water released in 1 second = 0.5775 m3

Time taken to fill the pool = $\frac{\text{Volume of the pool}}{\text{Volume of water released in 1 second}}$

= $\frac{9240}{0.5775}$ seconds

= 16000 seconds

As we know, 1 hour = 3600 seconds

Time taken to fill the pool = $\frac{16000}{3600}$ hours

= $\frac{40}{9}$ hours

= $4\frac{4}{9}$ hours

Hence, the pool is filled in $\mathbf{4\frac{4}{9}}$ hours.

Volume of earth dug out = 770 m3

The earth dug out is spread evenly to form a cuboidal platform.

Let $H$ be the height of the platform.

Volume of the platform = Volume of earth dug out

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 22 \times 14 \times H = 770\\[1em] \Rightarrow 308 \times H = 770\\[1em] \Rightarrow H = \frac{770}{308}\\[1em] \Rightarrow H = 2.5 \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

Volume of earth dug out = 660 m3

The embankment is in the shape of a hollow cylinder whose inner radius is 5 m.

Outer radius of the embankment (R) = (5 + 7.5) m = 12.5 m

Area of the embankment = π(R2 - r2)

Area of the embankment = 412.5 m2

Height of the embankment = $\frac{\text{Volume of earth dug out}}{\text{Area of the embankment}}$

= 1.6 m

Hence, the height of the embankment is 1.6 m.

The length of the longest rod that can be placed in a room 30 m long, 24 m broad and 18 m high, is

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the room ($l$) = 30 m

Breadth of the room ($b$) = 24 m

Height of the room ($h$) = 18 m

Length of the longest rod = Length of the diagonal of the room

The diagonal of the floor, the height of the room and the diagonal of the room form a right-angled triangle.

By Pythagoras' theorem,

(Diagonal of the floor)2 = $l^2 + b^2$

(Diagonal of the room)2 = (Diagonal of the floor)2 + $h^2 = l^2 + b^2 + h^2$

Length of the diagonal of the room (d) = $\sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2}$

$$\begin{aligned}= \sqrt{30^2 + 24^2 + 18^2}\\[1em] = \sqrt{900 + 576 + 324}\\[1em] = \sqrt{1800}\\[1em] = \sqrt{900 \times 2}\\[1em] = 30\sqrt{2} \text{ m}\end{aligned}$$

How many bricks, each measuring 25 cm × 12.5 cm × 7.5 cm will be needed to construct a wall 15 m long, 1.8 m high and 37.5 cm thick?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the wall = 15 m = 1500 cm

Height of the wall = 1.8 m = 180 cm

Thickness of the wall = 37.5 cm

Volume of the wall = length × thickness × height

= 1500 × 37.5 × 180 cm3

= 10125000 cm3

Volume of one brick = length × width × height

= 25 × 12.5 × 7.5 cm3

= 2343.75 cm3

Number of bricks = $\frac{\text{Volume of wall}}{\text{Volume of one brick}}$

= $\frac{10125000}{2343.75}$

A wooden box of dimensions 8 m × 7 m × 6 m is to carry rectangular boxes of dimensions 8 cm × 7 cm × 6 cm. The maximum number of boxes that can be carried in the wooden box, is

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Dimensions of the wooden box = 8 m × 7 m × 6 m = 800 cm × 700 cm × 600 cm

Dimensions of each rectangular box = 8 cm × 7 cm × 6 cm

Volume of the wooden box = length × breadth × height

= 800 × 700 × 600 cm3

= 336000000 cm3

Volume of one rectangular box = length × breadth × height

= 8 × 7 × 6 cm3

= 336 cm3

Maximum number of boxes = $\frac{\text{Volume of the wooden box}}{\text{Volume of one rectangular box}}$

= $\frac{336000000}{336}$

= 1000000

The boxes fit exactly, without any unused space, because

Number of boxes along the length = $\frac{800}{8}$ = 100

Number of boxes along the breadth = $\frac{700}{7}$ = 100

Number of boxes along the height = $\frac{600}{6}$ = 100

Total number of boxes = 100 × 100 × 100 = 1000000

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the wall = 6 m = 600 cm

Height of the wall = 5 m = 500 cm

Thickness of the wall = 0.5 m = 50 cm

Volume of the wall = length × thickness × height

= 600 × 50 × 500 cm3

= 15000000 cm3

Volume occupied by the mortar = 5% of 15000000 cm3

= $\frac{5}{100}$ × 15000000 cm3

= 750000 cm3

Volume occupied by the bricks = 15000000 - 750000 cm3

= 14250000 cm3

Volume of one brick = length × width × height

= 25 × 12.5 × 7.5 cm3

= 2343.75 cm3

Number of bricks = $\frac{\text{Volume occupied by the bricks}}{\text{Volume of one brick}}$

= $\frac{14250000}{2343.75}$

= 6080

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

The longest pole that can be placed on the floor is the diagonal of the floor.

By Pythagoras' theorem, diagonal of the floor = $\sqrt{(l^2 + b^2)}$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \sqrt{l^2 + b^2} = 10\\[1em] \Rightarrow l^2 + b^2 = 10^2\\[1em] \Rightarrow l^2 + b^2 = 100 \text{ ..........(1)}\end{aligned}$$

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

The volume of a cylinder with radius r and height h is πr2h.

So, Reason (R) is true.

Two cylinders can have the same volume with different radii and heights.

For example, consider a cylinder with r = 2 units and h = 9 units.

Volume = π × 22 × 9 = 36π cubic units

Total surface area = 2π × 2 × (2 + 9) = 44π square units

Now, consider another cylinder with r = 3 units and h = 4 units.

Volume = π × 32 × 4 = 36π cubic units

Total surface area = 2π × 3 × (3 + 4) = 42π square units

Both the cylinders have equal volumes but their surface areas are not equal.

So, Assertion (A) is false.

Area of 4 walls of a room = 2h(l + b) = Lateral surface area of the cuboid

So, Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) correctly explains assertion (A).

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

The sum of length, breadth and depth of a cuboid is 19 cm and its diagonal is $5\sqrt{5}$ cm. Surface area of the cuboid is:

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Sum of the length, breadth and depth of the cuboid = 19 cm

Diagonal of the cuboid = $5\sqrt{5}$ cm

Let $l, b$ and $h$ be the length, breadth and depth of the cuboid.

So, $l + b + h$ = 19

By Pythagoras' theorem (applied first to the diagonal of the base and then to the diagonal of the cuboid), the diagonal of the cuboid = $\sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2}$

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2} = 5\sqrt{5}\\[1em] \Rightarrow l^2 + b^2 + h^2 = \left(5\sqrt{5}\right)^2\\[1em] \Rightarrow l^2 + b^2 + h^2 = 125\end{aligned}$$

Squaring both the sides of $l + b + h$ = 19, we get

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow (l + b + h)^2 = 19^2\\[1em] \Rightarrow l^2 + b^2 + h^2 + 2(lb + bh + hl) = 361\\[1em] \Rightarrow 125 + 2(lb + bh + hl) = 361\\[1em] \Rightarrow 2(lb + bh + hl) = 361 - 125\\[1em] \Rightarrow 2(lb + bh + hl) = 236\end{aligned}$$

As we know, the surface area of the cuboid = $2(lb + bh + hl)$

= 236 cm2

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

The radius of a wire is decreased to one-third. If volume remains the same, length will increase:

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

A wire is cylindrical in shape.

Let $r$ be the radius and $l$ be the length of the wire.

Volume of a cylinder = $\pi r^2h$

Volume of the wire = $\pi r^2l$

Radius of the new wire = $\frac{r}{3}$

Let $L$ be the length of the new wire.

It is given that the volume remains the same.

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \pi \times \left(\frac{r}{3}\right)^2 \times L = \pi r^2l\\[1em] \Rightarrow \pi \times \frac{r^2}{9} \times L = \pi r^2l\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{\cancel{\pi r^2}}{9} \times L = \cancel{\pi r^2}l\\[1em] \Rightarrow L = 9l\end{aligned}$$

So, the new length of the wire is 9 times the original length (i.e., the length increases by 8 times the original length).

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.

Two friends Kabir and Manjeet were solving a problem on cylinder. Kabir calculated its volume and Manjeet calculated its curved surface area. Interestingly, their answers were numerically same. It is possible:

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

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

Volume of the cylinder = $\pi r^2h$

Curved surface area of the cylinder = $2\pi rh$

It is given that the volume and the curved surface area are numerically same.

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \pi r^2 h = 2\pi rh\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{\pi r^2 h}{\pi rh} = 2\\[1em] \Rightarrow r = 2\end{aligned}$$

The height $h$ gets cancelled, so the equality holds for any height of the cylinder provided its radius is 2 units.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

A swimming pool is 200 m by 50 m and has an average depth of 2 m. By the end of a summer day, the water level drops by 2 cm. Volume of water used on that day is:

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Length of the swimming pool (l) = 200 m

Breadth of the swimming pool (b) = 50 m

Drop in the water level (h) = 2 cm = 0.02 m

The water used forms a cuboid of length 200 m, breadth 50 m and height equal to the drop in the water level.

Volume of water used = l × b × h

= 200 × 50 × 0.02 m3

= 200 m3

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

5Exercise 24C - Competency Focused Questions

From the pipe of inner radius 0.75 cm, water flows at the rate of 7 m per second. The volume of water delivered by the pipe in 1 hour is:

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Inner radius of the pipe (r) = 0.75 cm

Rate of flow of water = 7 m per second = 700 cm per second

The water delivered by the pipe in 1 second forms a cylinder of radius r = 0.75 cm and height h = 700 cm.

Volume of water delivered in 1 second = πr2h

$$\begin{aligned}= \frac{22}{7} \times (0.75)^2 \times 700\\[1em] = \frac{22}{7} \times 0.5625 \times 700\\[1em] = \frac{8662.5}{7}\\[1em] = 1237.5\end{aligned}$$

Volume of water delivered in 1 second = 1237.5 cm3

As we know, 1 hour = 3600 seconds

Volume of water delivered in 1 hour = 1237.5 × 3600 cm3

= 4455000 cm3

As we know, 1 litre = 1000 cm3

Volume of water delivered in 1 hour = $\frac{4455000}{1000}$ litres

= 4455 litres

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.

A sheet of paper of dimensions $l \times b$ is folded along its length to get a hollow cylinder. Lateral surface area of the cylinder so formed is:

A sheet of paper of dimensions l × b is folded along its length to get a hollow cylinder. Lateral surface area of the cylinder so formed is:. Volume & Surface Area of Solids, RSA Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 8.
Show SolutionHide Solution↓

The sheet of paper is folded along its length $l$.

So, the length of the sheet forms the circumference of the base of the cylinder and the breadth of the sheet becomes the height of the cylinder.

Let $r$ be the radius of the base of the cylinder.

⇒ $2\pi r = l$

Height of the cylinder, $h = b$

Lateral surface area of a cylinder = $2\pi rh$

$$\begin{aligned}= (2\pi r) \times h\\[1em] = l \times b\\[1em] = lb\end{aligned}$$

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

A cube of side length $a$ is cut into equal halves as shown. What will be the total surface area of each half when compared with the original cube?

A cube of side length a is cut into equal halves as shown. What will be the total surface area of each half when compared with the original cube? Volume & Surface Area of Solids, RSA Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 8.
Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

Side of the original cube = $a$

Surface area of a cube = 6 × (side)2

Surface area of the original cube = $6a^2$

Half of the surface area of the original cube = $\frac{6a^2}{2} = 3a^2$

When the cube is cut into two equal halves, each half is a cuboid whose

Length (l) = $a$, Breadth (b) = $a$ and Height (h) = $\frac{a}{2}$

As we know, the total surface area of the cuboid = 2(l × b + b × h + h × l)

$$\begin{aligned}= 2\left(a \times a + a \times \frac{a}{2} + \frac{a}{2} \times a\right)\\[1em] = 2\left(a^2 + \frac{a^2}{2} + \frac{a^2}{2}\right)\\[1em] = 2\left(a^2 + a^2\right)\\[1em] = 2 \times 2a^2\\[1em] = 4a^2\end{aligned}$$

As $4a^2 \gt 3a^2$, the surface area of each part is more than half of the surface area of the original cube.

This happens because cutting the cube creates two new faces, each of area $a^2$.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

A cuboid is shown in the figure. The area of the rectangle ABCD is given as x square units. The surface area of the cuboid in terms of x is:. Volume & Surface Area of Solids, RSA Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 8.
Show SolutionHide Solution↓

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

ABCD is the base of the cuboid.

Area of the rectangle ABCD = l × b = $x$ square units

As we know, the total surface area of the cuboid = 2(l × b + b × h + h × l)

= 2($x$ + bh + hl) square units

The height h of the cuboid is not known, so the terms bh and hl cannot be found in terms of $x$.

Therefore, the surface area of the cuboid cannot be determined from the area of the rectangle ABCD alone.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
