Question 2

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 50 m. If the length of the field is 13 m. Find the area of the field. [2 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Formula: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

Given that,
The perimeter of a rectangular field is 50 m.
The length of the field is 13 m.
Perimeter of rectangular field = 2( length + breadth)
Or, Breadth=perimeter2length
Or, Breadth = 25 - 13 = 12 m

Area of rectangle = length × breadth =13×12 = 156 sq. m
The area of the rectangular field is 156 m2.

Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

Let the radius of the pizza be r1 and radius of the cake be r2.
Given: area of the pizzaarea of the cake=14
Now, area of a circle = πr2
πr12πr22=14
r21r22=12
r1r2=12
Therefore, the ratio of their radii is 12

Before a cricket match, the officials wanted to check the distance of the boundary from the centre of the pitch, given that the ground is circular in shape. The entire boundary length is 628 m. Also find its area in m2 . Take π=3.14.  [3 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Formula: 1 Mark
Radius: 1 Mark
Area: 1 Mark

Given that,
The entire length of the boundary is 628 m.
The perimeter of a cricket of radius r meters is 2×π×r
 meters

Given perimeter of the ground = 628 m

r = 628÷(2×π) =100 m
The distance of the boundary from the centre of the pitch is 100 m.
The area of a circle is π×(r)2

Area of the ground = π×(100)2

= 31400 m2 
The area of the ground is 31400 
m2.

Question 8

From the given information calculate the area of the triangle. Given the height of the triangle is 5 cm and it divides the base into two equal parts of 3 cm each. Express your answer in  m2.  [3 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Formula : 1 Mark
Process : 1 Mark
Result : 1 Mark

Height = 5cm

 Given base is divided into two equal parts, so base length = 3+3 = 6cm

Area of the triangle = 12×base×height

                                     = 12×5100×6100

                                      = 1510000

                                       = 0.0015

                                      = 0.0015 m2

Question 9

A man is walking in a circular park. In one round he completes 314 m. If there is a man at the opposite end of the diameter which is drawn from the point where the man is standing. Find the minimum distance he has to walk to meet his friend who is sitting at the described point? Also, find the area of the circular park. Take π=3.14         [3 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Steps: 1 Mark
Shortest Distance: 1 Mark
Area: 1 Mark

If the man has to cover the minimum distance, he has to walk along the diameter.

Circumference of the circle = 314 m

Radius of the given circle = 3142π

= 50 m

Diameter = (2)×(50) = 100 m
The radius of the circular park = 1002 = 50 m


The area of the circular park = π×r2

On substituting the values, we get
Area = π×502 = 7850m2

Question 10

If a given stick of length 628 m is bent in the form a circle and later bent into a square. Which of them, circle or square will have greater area?  [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Result: 1 Mark

Length of the stick is equal to the perimeter of circle and square individually.
Circle of given radius has a perimeter of 628 m.
Side of square = 157 m
Radius of the given circle:
= 6282×π
= 100m

 Area of the circle:                
= π
 × r2
π × 1002
= 3.14× 1002
= 31400m2 

Area of the square
= length×length
= 157×157
= 24649m2

The area of circle is greater than area of square.

Question 11

[4 MARKS]

 

SOLUTION

Solution :

Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Application: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Marks

Given that,
The side of the square ABCD = 10 m.
Now the diameter of the circle will be equal to the side of the square ABCD = 10 m.

Area of the square = a2
Area of the square is (10)
 × (10) = 100 m2

Given diameter of circle = 10 m

Radius of the circle = 102 = 5 m

Area of the circle 

= π × (r2)
π × (52)

= 78.5m2   

Area of the triangle BDE

= 12 × (BD) × (DE)

= 0.5 × (10) × (10)

= 50 m2

Area of the shaded region

= Area of square ABCD - Area of circle + Area of triangle BDE

= 71.5 m2

So, the area of the shaded region is 71.5 m2.

Question 12

A man wants to paint two of his walls. The cost of painting is Rs10 per cm2How much money is required by him to paint a rectangular wall of length 400 cm and breadth 900 cm and a circular wall of diameter 126 cm? [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark

Given that 
The cost of painting is Rs10 per 
cm2.
The length of the rectangular wall=400 cm
The breadth of the rectangular wall=900 cm

Area of the rectangle =  length
 × breadth
On substituting the values we get

Area of the rectangle = (400) × (900)

  = 360000 cm2

Money required to paint the rectangular wall = (10) × (360000)

= Rs.3600000

The diameter of the circular wall = 126 cm.
Radius of the wall, r = 1262 = 63 cm
The area a circle is given by, Area = π×r2
On substituting the values we get,
Area of the circular wall
= 227×63×63 = 12474 cm2

Money required to paint the circular wall
 = 12474×10 = Rs 124740

The total cost of painting
3600000 + 124740 = Rs 3724740

Hence, the total cost of painting the walls is Rs 37,24,740.

Question 13

A rectangular park is 40m wide and 35m long. A path 2.5m wide is constructed outside the path. Find the area of the path. [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Steps: 2 Marks
Application: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

The given area will be inscribed between two rectangles of length and breadth.

We can imagine as a rectangle whose length has been increased on both the sides. 
So, the sides  of the outer triangle are,
Length = 35 + 5 = 40 m
And breadth = 40 + 5 = 45 m

40m and 45m, 40m and 35m respectively.
The area of the footpath = Area of outer rectangle - Area of inner rectangle
Area of the rectangle = length×breadth
On substituting the values we get;

Area required = (45) × (40) - (40) × (35)

= 1800 - 1400

= 400m2
The area of the footpath is 400m2.

Question 14

DL and BM are the heights on sides AB and AD respectively of parallelogram ABCD.  If the area of the parallelogram is 1470 cm2, AB = 35 cm and AD = 49 cm, find the length of BM and DL.  [4 MARKS]



 

SOLUTION

Solution : Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Each Answer: 1 Mark

Given: area of parallelogram = 147 cm
Base (AB) = 35 cm and base (AD) = 49 cm
Since area of parallelogram = base×height
On substituting the values we get,
   1470=35×DL
   DL=147035
   DL = 42 cm

Again, Area of parallelogram = base×height
   1470=49×BM
  BM=147049
   BM = 30 cm
Thus, the lengths of DL and BM are 42 cm and 30 cm respectively.

Question 15

A man wants to cover his floor with carpet which costs Rs100 per square meters. His floor is in the form of a square which has a perimeter of 24 meters. What will be the cost of carpeting the floor?  [4 MARKS]

SOLUTION

Solution :

Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Result: 1 Mark

Given that  :
A man wants to cover the floor with carpet which costs Rs 100.
His floor is in the form of a square.
Perimeter of the floor = 24 meters
 

Let the length of each side of the square be 'a'.
Perimeter of a square = 4a = 24 meters
Length of one side, a = 244 = 6 meters

Area of a sqaure = a × a = 6 × 6 = 36 square meters
Total Cost of carpeting the floor = 36 × 100 = Rs 3600. 
The total cost of carpeting the floor is  Rs 3600.
