Exercise 13.1

1. A plastic box 1.5 m long, 1.25 m wide and 65 cm deep is to be made. It is opened at the top. Ignoring the thickness of the plastic sheet, determine:
(i) The area of the sheet required for making the box.
(ii) The cost of sheet for it, if a sheet measuring 1m2 costs Rs 20.


Answer

Length of plastic box (l) = 1.5 m
Width of plastic box (b) = 1.25 m
Depth of plastic box (h) = 0.65 m
(i) The area of sheet required to make the box is equal to the surface area of the box excluding the top.
Surface area of the box = Lateral surface area + Area of the base
= 2(l+b)×h + (l×b)
= 2[(1.5 + 1.25)×0.65] + (1.5 × 1.25) m
= (3.575 + 1.875) m
= 5.45 m
The sheet required required to make the box is 5.45 m

(ii) Cost of 1 mof sheet = Rs 20
∴ Cost of 5.45 mof sheet = Rs (20 × 5.45) = Rs 109

2. The length, breadth and height of a room are 5m, 4m and 3m respectively. Find the cost of white washing the walls of the room and the ceiling at the rate of ₹7.50 per m2.

Answer


length of the room = 5m
breadth of the room = 4m
height of the room = 3m
Area of four walls including the ceiling = 2(l+b)×h + (l×b)
 = 2(5+4)×3 + (5×4) m
= (54 + 20) m
= 74 mCost of white washing = ₹7.50 per m2
Total cost = ₹ (74×7.50) = ₹ 555

3. The floor of a rectangular hall has a perimeter 250 m. If the cost of painting the four walls at the rate of ₹10 per m2 is ₹15000, find the height of the hall.
[Hint : Area of the four walls = Lateral surface area.]


Answer

Perimeter of rectangular hall = 2(l + b) = 250 m
Total cost of painting = 15000
Rate per m= ₹10
Area of four walls = 2(l + b) h m= (250×h) m2
A/q,
(250×h)×10 = 15000
⇒ 2500×h = 15000 
⇒ h = 15000/2500 m
⇒ h = 6 m 
Thus the height of the hall is 6 m.

4. 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

Volume of paint = 9.375 m= 93750 cm2
Dimension of brick = 22.5 cm×10 cm×7.5 cm
Total surface area of a brick = 2(lb + bh + lh) cm2 
= 2(22.5×10 + 10×7.5 + 22.5×7.5) cm2
= 2(225 + 75 + 168.75) cm2
= 2×468.75 cm2 = 937.5 cm2
Number of bricks can be painted = 93750/937.5 = 100

5. A cubical box has each edge 10 cm and another cuboidal box is 12.5 cm long, 10 cm wide and 8 cm high.
(i) Which box has the greater lateral surface area and by how much?
(ii) Which box has the smaller total surface area and by how much?

Answer

(i) Lateral surface area of cubical box of edge 10cm = 4×102 cm2 = 400 cm2
Lateral surface area of cuboid box = 2(l+b)×h
= 2×(12.5+10)×8 cm2
= 2×22.5×8 cm2 = 360 cm2
Thus, lateral surface area of the cubical box is greater by (400 – 360) cm2 = 40 cm2

(ii) Total surface area of cubical box of edge 10 cm =6×102cm2=600cm2
Total surface area of cuboidal box = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(12.5×10 + 10×8 + 8×12.5) cm2
= 2(125+80+100) cm2
= (2×305) cm= 610 cm2
Thus, total surface area of cubical box is smaller by 10 cm2



6. 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.
(i) What is the area of the glass?
(ii) How much of tape is needed for all the 12 edges?

Answer

(i) Dimensions of greenhouse:
l = 30 cm, b = 25 cm, h = 25 cm
Total surface area of green house = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(30×25 + 25×25 + 25×30) cm2
= 2(750 + 625 + 750) cm2
= 4250 cm2

(ii) Length of the tape needed = 4(l + b + h)
= 4(30 + 25 + 25) cm
= 4×80 cm = 320 cm

7. Shanti Sweets Stall was placing an order for making cardboard boxes for packing their sweets. Two sizes of boxes were required. The bigger of dimensions 25 cm × 20 cm × 5 cm and the smaller of dimensions 15 cm × 12 cm × 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

Dimension of bigger box = 25 cm × 20 cm × 5 cm
Total surface area of bigger box = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(25×20 + 20×5 + 25×5) cm2
= 2(500 + 100 + 125) cm2
= 1450 cm2

Dimension of smaller box = 15 cm × 12 cm × 5 cm
Total surface area of smaller box = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(15×12 + 12×5 + 15×5) cm2
= 2(180 + 60 + 75) cm2
= 630 cm2

Total surface area of 250 boxes of each type = 250(1450 + 630) cm2
= 250×2080 cm= 520000 cm2
Extra area required = 5/100(1450 + 630) × 250 cm= 26000 cm2

Total Cardboard required = 520000 + 26000 cm2 = 546000 cm2
Total cost of cardboard sheet = ₹ (546000 × 4)/1000 = ₹ 2184

8. 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 4m × 3m?

Answer

Dimensions of the box- like structure = 4m × 3m × 2.5
Tarpaulin only required for all the four sides and top.
Thus, Tarpaulin required = 2(l+b)×h + lb = [2(4+3)×2.5 + 4×3] m2
= (35+12) m2
= 47 m2

Exercise 13.2

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.

Answer

Let r be the radius of the base and h = 14 cm be the height of the cylinder.
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2Ï€rh = 88 cm2
⇒ 2 × 22/7 × r × 14 = 88
⇒ r = 88/ (2 × 22/7 × 14)
⇒ r = 1 cm
Thus, the diameter of the base = 2r = 2×1 = 2cm

2. It is required to make a closed cylindrical tank of height 1 m and base diameter 140 cm from a metal sheet. How many square metres of the sheet are required for the same?

Answer

Let r be the radius of the base and h be the height of the cylinder.
Base diameter = 140 cm and Height (h) = 1m
Radius of base (r) = 140/2 = 70 cm = 0.7 m
Metal sheet required to make a closed cylindrical tank = 2Ï€r(h + r)
= (2 × 22/7 × 0.7) (1 + 0.7) m2
= (2 × 22 × 0.1 × 1.7) m2
=7.48 m2

3. A metal pipe is 77 cm long. The inner diameter of a cross section is 4 cm, the outer diameter being 4.4 cm (see Fig. 13.11). Find its
(i) inner curved surface area,
(ii) outer curved surface area,
(iii) total surface area.
 
Answer

Let R be external radius and r be the internal radius h be the length of the pipe.
R  = 4.4/2 cm = 2.2 cm
r = 4/2 cm = 2 cm
h = 77 cm
(i) Inner curved surface = 2Ï€rh cm2
= 2 × 22/7 × 2 × 77cm2
= 968 cm2

(ii) Outer curved surface = 2Ï€Rh cm2
 = 2 × 22/7 × 2.2 × 77 cm2
= 1064.8 cm2

(iii) Total surface area of a pipe = Inner curved surface area + outer curved surface area + areas of two bases
= 2Ï€rh + 2Ï€Rh + 2Ï€(R2 - r2)
= [968 + 1064.8 + (2 × 22/7) (4.84 - 4)] cm2
= (2032.8 + 44/7 × 0.84) cm2
= (2032.8 + 5.28) cm= 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.

Answer

Length of the roller (h) = 120 cm = 1.2 m
Radius of the cylinder = 84/2 cm = 42 cm = 0.42 m
Total no. of revolutions = 500
Distance covered by roller in one revolution = Curved surface area = 2Ï€rh
= (2 × 22/7 × 0.42 × 1.2) m2 = 3.168 m2
Area of the playground = (500 × 3.168) m= 1584 m2

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 12.50 per m2.

Answer

Radius of the pillar (r) = 50/2 cm = 25 cm = 0.25 m
Height of the pillar (h) = 3.5 m.
Rate of painting = 12.50 per m2
Curved surface = 2Ï€rh
= (2 × 22/7 × 0.25 × 3.5) m2
=5.5 m2
Total cost of painting = (5.5 × 12.5) = 68.75

6. Curved surface area of a right circular cylinder is 4.4 m2. If the radius of the base of the cylinder is 0.7 m, find its height.

Answer

Let r be the radius of the base and h be the height of the cylinder.
Curved surface area = 2Ï€rh = 4.4 m2
⇒ 2 × 22/7 × 0.7 × h = 4.4
⇒ h = 4.4/(2 × 22/7 × 0.7) = 1m
⇒ h = 1m

7. The inner diameter of a circular well is 3.5 m. It is 10 m deep. Find
(i) its inner curved surface area,

Radius of circular well (r) = 3.5/2 m = 1.75 m
Depth of the well (h) = 10 m
Rate of plastering = 40 per m2
(i) Curved surface = 2Ï€rh
= (2 × 22/7 × 1.75 × 10) m2
= 110 m2

(ii) Cost of plastering = (110 × 40) = 4400

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

Answer

Radius of the pipe (r) = 5/2 cm = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m
Length of the pipe (h) = 28/2 m = 14 m
Total radiating surface = Curved surface area of the pipe = 2Ï€rh
= (2 × 22/7 × 0.025 × 28) m2 = 4.4 m2

9. Find
(i) the lateral or curved surface area of a closed cylindrical petrol storage tank that is 4.2 m in diameter and 4.5 m high.
(ii) how much steel was actually used, if 1/12 of the steel actually used was wasted in making the tank.

Answer

(i) Radius of the tank (r) = 4.2/2 m = 2.1 m
Height of the tank (h) = 4.5 m
Curved surface area = 2Ï€rh m2
= (2 × 22/7 × 2.1 × 4.5) m2
= 59.4 m2

(ii) Total surface area of the tank = 2Ï€r(r + h) m2
= [2 × 22/7 × 2.1 (2.1 + 4.5)] m2
= 87.12 m2

Let x be the actual steel used in making tank.
∴ (1 - 1/12) × x = 87.12
⇒ x = 87.12 × 12/11
⇒ x = 95.04 m2

If there were 35 competitors, how much cardboard was required to be bought for the competition?

Answer

Radius of the penholder (r) = 3cm
Height of the penholder (h) = 10.5cm
Cardboard required by 1 competitor = CSA of one penholder + area of the base
= 2πrh + πr2
= [(2 × 22/7 × 3 × 10.5) + 22/7 × 32] cm2
= (198 + 198/7) cm2
= 1584/7 cm2
Cardboard required for 35 competitors = (35 × 1584/7) cm2
= 7920 cm2

1. Diameter of the base of a cone is 10.5 cm and its slant height is 10 cm. Find its curved surface area.

Answer

Radius (r) = 10.5/2 cm = 5.25 cm
Slant height (l) = 10 cm
Curved surface area of the cone = (Ï€rl) cm2
= (22/7 × 5.25 × 10) cm2
=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.

Answer

Radius (r) = 24/2 m = 12 m
Slant height (l) = 21 m
Total surface area of the cone = Ï€r (l + r) m2
= 22/7 × 12 × (21 + 12) m2
= (22/7 × 12 × 33) m2
= 1244.57 m2

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.

Answer

(i) Curved surface of a cone = 308 cm2
Slant height (l) = 14cm
Let r be the radius of the base
∴ Ï€râ„“ = 308
⇒ 22/7 × r × 14 = 308
⇒ r =308/(22/7 × 14) = 7 cm

(ii) TSA of the cone = πr(l + r) cm2
= 22/7 × 7 ×(14 + 7) cm2
= (22 × 21) cm2
= 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 70.

Answer

Radius of the base (r) = 24 m
Height of the conical tent (h) = 10 m
Let l be the slant height of the cone.
∴ l= h+ r2
⇒ l = √h+ r2 
⇒ l = √10+ 242 
⇒ l = √100 + 576 
⇒ l = 26 m
(ii) Canvas required to make the conical tent = Curved surface of the cone
Cost of 1 m2 canvas = 70
∴ Ï€rl = (22/7 × 24 × 26) m2 = 13728/7 m2
∴ Cost of canvas = ₹ 13728/7 × 70 = 137280

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

Answer

Radius of the base (r) = 6 m
Height of the conical tent (h) = 8 m
Let l be the slant height of the cone.
∴ l = √h+ r2 
⇒ l = √8+ 62 
⇒ l = √100 
⇒ l = 10 m
CSA of conical tent = πrl
                                = (3.14 × 6 × 10) m2 = 188.4 m2
Breadth of tarpaulin = 3 m
Let length of tarpaulin sheet required be x.
20 cm will be wasted in cutting.
So, the length will be (x - 0.2 m)
Breadth of tarpaulin = 3 m
Area of sheet = CSA of tent
[(x - 0.2 m) × 3] m = 188.4 m2
⇒ x - 0.2 m = 62.8 m
⇒ x = 63 m

6. The slant height and base diameter of a conical tomb are 25 m and 14 m respectively. Find the cost of white-washing its curved surface at the rate of 210 per 100 m2.

Slant height tomb (l) = 25 m
Curved surface area = Ï€rl m2
=(227×25×7) m2
=550  m2
Rate of white- washing = 210 per 100 m2
Total cost of white-washing the tomb = (550 × 210/100) = 1155

7. A joker’s cap is in the form of a right circular cone of base radius 7 cm and height 24 cm. Find the area of the sheet required to make 10 such caps.

Answer

Radius of the cone (r) = 7 cm
Height of the cone (h) = 24 cm
Let l be the slant height
∴ l = √h+ r2 
⇒ l = √24+ 72 
⇒ l = √625 
⇒ l = 25 m
Sheet required for one cap = Curved surface of the cone
= πrl cm2
= (22/7 × 7 × 25) cm2
= 550 cm2
Sheet required for 10 caps = 550 × 10 cm= 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 12 per m2 , what will be the cost of painting all these cones? (Use Ï€ = 3.14 and take √1.04 = 1.02)

Answer

Radius of the cone (r) = 40/2 cm = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Height of the cone (h) = 1 m
Let l  be the slant height of a cone.
∴ l = √h+ r2 
⇒ l = √1+ 0.22 
⇒ l = √1.04 
⇒ l = 1.02 m
Rate of painting = 12 per m2 

Curved surface of 1 cone = Ï€rl m2
= (3.14 × 0.2 × 1.02) m2
= 0.64056 m2
Curved surface of such 50 cones = (50 × 0.64056) m2 = 32.028 m2
Cost of painting all these cones = (32.028 × 12) = 384.34

Exercise 13.5

1. A matchbox measures 4cm × 2.5cm × 1.5cm. What will be the volume of a packet containing 12 such boxes?

Answer

Dimension of matchbox = 4cm × 2.5cm × 1.5cm
l = 4 cm, b = 2.5 cm and h = 1.5 cm
Volume of one matchbox = (l × b × h)
= (4 × 2.5 × 1.5)  cm= 15 cm3
Volume of a packet containing 12 such boxes = (12 × 15)  cm= 180 cm3

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

Answer

Dimensions of water tank = 6m × 5m × 4.5m
l = 6m , b = 5m and h = 4.5m
Therefore Volume of the tank =â„“bh m3
=(6×5×4.5)m3=135 m3
Therefore , the tank can hold = 135 × 1000 litres  [Since 1m3=1000litres]
= 135000 litres of water.

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

Answer

Length = 10 m , Breadth = 8 m and Volume = 380 m3
Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height
⇒ Height = Volume of cuboid/(Length × Breadth) 
= 380/(10×8) m
= 4.75m

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

Answer

l = 8 m, b = 6 m and h = 3 m
Volume of the pit = lbh m3
= (8×6×3) m3
= 144 m3
Rate of digging = ₹30 per m3
Total cost of digging the pit = ₹(144 × 30) = ₹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.

Answer

length = 2.5 m, depth = 10 m and volume = 50000 litres
1m3 = 1000 litres

∴ 50000 litres = 50000/1000 m3 = 50 m3
Breadth = Volume of cuboid/(Length×Depth)
= 50/(2.5×10) m
= 2 m

6. A village, having a population of 4000, requires 150 litres of water per head per day. It has a tank measuring 20m × 15m × 6m. For how many days will the water of this tank last?

Exercise 13.6

1. The circumference of the base of a cylindrical vessel is 132 cm and its height is 25 cm. How many litres of water can it hold? (1000 cm 3 = 1l)

Answer

Let the base radius of the cylindrical vessel be ‘r’ cm.
∴ Circumference = 2Ï€r
⇒ 2Ï€r = 132     [ Circumference = 132 cm]
⇒ 2× 22/7 × r = 132 cm
R=(132×7)/(2×22) cm = 21 cm
∵ Height of the vessel = 25 cm
∴ Volume = Ï€r2 x h    [ Volume of a cylinder = Ï€r2h]
= (22/7) (21)2 × 25 cm3
= (22/7) × 21 × 21 × 25 cm3
= 22 × 3 × 21 × 25 cm3
= 34650 cm
∵ Capacity of the vessel = Volume of the vessel
∴ Capacity of cylindrical vessel = 34650 cm
Since 1000 cm= 1 litre
⇒ 34650 cm3 = (34650/1000) litres = 34.65 l

2. The inner diameter of a cylindrical wooden pipe is 24 cm and its outer diameter is 28 cm. The length of the pipe is 35 cm. Find the mass of the pipe, if 1 cm3 of wood has a mass of 0.6 g.
Answer

Here, Inner diameter of the cylindrical pipe = 24 cm
⇒ Inner radius of the pipe (r) = (24/2) cm = 12 cm
Outer diameter of the pipe = 28 cm
⇒ Outer radius of the pipe (R) = (28/2)cm = 14 cm
Length of the pipe (h) = 35 cm
∵ Inner volume of the pipe = Ï€r2h
Outer volume of the pipe = πr2h
∴ Amount of wood (volume) in the pipe = Outer volume – Inner volume
= Ï€R2h - Ï€r2h
= Ï€h(R2-r2)
= Ï€h(R+r)(R-r)  a2 - b2 = (a+b)(a-b)]
= 22/7 x 35 x (14+12) x (14-12) cm3
= 22 x 5 x 26 x 2 cm3 

Mass of the wood in the pipe = [Mass of wood in 1 m3 of wood] x [Volume of wood in the pipe]
= [0.6g] x [22 x 5 x 26 x 2] cm3
= (6/10)x 22 x 10 x 26 g = 6 x 22 x 26 g
= 3432 g = (3432/1000)= 3.432 kg   [ 1000 g = 1 kg]
Thus, the required mass of the pipe is 3.432 kg.

3. A soft drink is available in two packs (i) a tin can with a rectangular base of length 5 cm and width 4 cm, having a height of 15 cm and (ii) a plastic cylinder with circular base of diameter 7 cm and height 10 cm. Which container has greater capacity and by how much?

Answer

For rectangular pack: Length (l) = 5 cm
Breadth (b) = 4 cm Height (h) = 15 cm
∴ Volume = l x b x h = 5 x 4 x 15 cm3
= 300 cm3
⇒ Capacity of the rectangular pack = 300 cm3     ...(1)
For cylindrical pack: Base diameter = 7 cm
⇒ Radius of the base (r) = (7/2)cm
Height (h) = 10 cm
∴ Volume = Ï€r2h = (22/7) x (7/2)2 x 10 cm3
= (22/7) x (7/2) x (7/2) x 10 cm3
= 11 x 7 x 5 cm3 = 385 cm3
⇒ Volume of the cylindrical pack = 385 cm3   ...(2)
From (1) and (2),
we have 385 cm3 – 300 cm3 = 85 cm3
⇒ The cylindrical pack has the greater capacity by 85 cm3.

4. If the lateral surface of a cylinder is 94.2 cmand its height is 5 cm, then find: (i) radius of its base (ii) its volume. (Use π = 3.14)

Answer

(i) Since lateral surface of the cylinder = 2 πrh
But lateral surface of the cylinder = 94.2 cm2
 2Ï€rh = 94.2
2×3.14×r×5 =942/10
⇒{(10×314)/100} × r = 942/10
⇒ r=(942/10)×{100/(10×314)}cm
⇒ r =471/157 cm 
Thus, the radius of the cylinder = 3 cm

(ii) Volume of a cylinder = πr2h
⇒ Volume of the given cylinder = 3.14 x (3)2 x 5 cm3
=314×100×3×3×5cm3
=(157×3×3)/10
= 1413/10 = 141.3 cm3

Thus, the required volume = 141.3 cm3

5. It costs ₹ 2200 to paint the inner curved surface of cylindrical vessel 10 m deep. If the cost of painting is at the rate of ₹ 20 per m2; find: (i) inner curved surface of the vessel (ii) radius of the base (iii) capacity of the vessel.

Answer

(i) To find inner curved surface
Total cost of painting = ₹ 2200
Rate of painting = ₹ 20 per m2
∴  Area =cost/rate = 2200/20 = 110 m2   
⇒ Inner curved surface of the vessel = 110 m2

(ii) To find radius of the base Let the base radius of the cylindrical vessel.
∵ Curved surface of a cylinder = 2 Ï€rh
∴  2Ï€rh = 110
⇒ 2× 22/7 ×r×10 = 110 [∵Height=10 m ]
⇒ r= (110×7)/(2×22×10)m = 7/4 m
= 1.75 m
⇒ The required radius of the base = 1.75 m

(iii) To find the capacity of the vessel
Since, volume of a cylinder = πr2h
 ∴ Volume (capacity) of the vessel =22/7 × (7/2)2 × 10 m3
= 22/7 × 7/4 × 7/4 × 10 m
= (11×7×5)/4 m3 = 385/4 m3 = 96.25 m3

Since, 1 m3 = 1000000 cm3 = 1000 l = 1 kl
∴ 96.5 m3 = 96.5 kl
Thus, the required volume = 96.25 kl

6. The capacity of closed cylindrical vessel of height 1 m is 15.4 litres. How many square metres of metal sheet would be needed to make it?

Answer

Capacity of the cylindrical vessel = 15.4 l
= 15.4×1000 cm
⇒ Volume of the vessel = (15.4/1000)m3
Height of the vessel = 1m Let ‘r’ metres be the radius of the base of the vessel
∴ Volume = Ï€r2h
⇒ Ï€r2h= 15.4/1000
Thus, the required sheet = 0.4708 m2

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

Answer

Since, 10 mm = 1cm
∴ 1 mm = (1/10) cm
For graphite cylinder
Thus, the required volume of the graphite = 0.11 cm
For the pencil Diameter of the pencil = 7 mm = (7/10)cm
∴ Radius of the pencil (R) = (7/20) cm
Height of the pencil (h) = 14 cm
Volume of the pencil = Ï€r2h
Volume of the wood Volume of the wood = [Volume of the pencil] – [Volume of the graphite]
= 5.39 cm3 – 0.11 cm3 = 5.28 cm
Thus, the required volume of the wood is 5.28 cm3.

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

Answer

The bowl is cylindrical.
Diameter of the base = 7 cm
⇒ Radius of the base (r) = (7/3) cm
Height (h) = 4 cm
Volume of soup = πr2h
= 38500 / 100 liters             
Thus, the hospital needs to prepare 38.5 litres of soup daily for 250 patients.

Answer

Let the diameter of the moon be r
Radius of the moon = r/2
A/q,
Diameter of the earth = 4r
Radius(r) = 4r/2 = 2r
Volume of the moon = v = 4/3 π(r/2)3
                                  = 4/3 Ï€r× 1/8
⇒ 8v = 4/3 Ï€r--- (i)
Volume of the earth = r3 = 4/3 Ï€(2r)3
                                = 4/3 Ï€r3× 8
⇒ V/8 = 4/3 Ï€r3 --- (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have
8v = V/8
⇒ v = 1/64 V
Thus, the volume of the moon is 1/64 of the volume of the earth.

⇒ 4 × 22/7 × r= 154
⇒ r= (154×7)/(4×22) = 12.25
⇒ r = 3.5 cm
Volume = 4/3 πr3
             = (4/3 × 22/7 × 3.5 × 3.5 × 3.5) cm3
             = 539/3 cm3

8. A dome of a building is in the form of a hemisphere. From inside, it was white-washed at the cost of ₹498.96. If the cost of white-washing is ₹2.00 per square metre, find the
(i) inside surface area of the dome,      (ii) volume of the air inside the dome.

Answer

(i) Inside surface area of the dome =Total cost of white washing/Rate of white washing
                                                        =  (498.96/2.00) m= 249.48 m

 (ii) Let r be the radius of the dome.
Surface area = 2Ï€r2
⇒ 2 × 22/7 × r= 249.48
⇒ r= (249.48×7)/(2×22) = 39.69
⇒ r2=  39.69
⇒ r = 6.3m
Volume of the air inside the dome = Volume of the dome
                                                       = 2/3 Ï€r3
                                                                    = (2/3 × 22/7 × 6.3 × 6.3 × 6.3) m3
                                                       = 523.9 m(approx.)

9. 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
(i) radius r′ of the new sphere,      (ii) ratio of S and S′.
 

Answer

(i) Volume of 27 solid sphere of radius r = 27 × 4/3 Ï€r3 --- (i)
Volume of the new sphere of radius r′ = 4/3 Ï€r'3 --- (ii)
A/q,
4/3 Ï€r'3= 27 × 4/3 Ï€r3
⇒ r'= 27r3
⇒ r'3 = (3r)3
⇒ r′ = 3r
(ii) Required ratio = S/S′ = 4 Ï€r2/4Ï€r′= r2/(3r)2
                              = r2/9r2 = 1/9 = 1:9

10. A capsule of medicine is in the shape of a sphere of diameter 3.5 mm. How much medicine (in mm3) is needed to fill this capsule?

Answer

Diameter of the spherical capsule = 3.5 mm
Radius(r) = 3.52mm
                = 1.75mm
Medicine needed for its filling = Volume of spherical capsule
                                                  = 4/3 Ï€r3
                                                  = (4/3 × 22/7 × 1.75 × 1.75 × 1.75) mm3
                                                  = 22.46 mm(approx.)


NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes


Chapter 13 NCERT Solutions available here is useful in preparing for the exams. We will learn to find the surface areas and volumes of cuboids and cylinders in details and extend this study to some other solids such as cones and spheres.

• Surface Area of a Cuboid and a Cube: Surface Area of a Cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl) and Surface Area of a Cube = 6a2

• Surface Area of a Right Circular Cylinder: Curved Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2Ï€rh and Total Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2Ï€r(r + h).

• Surface Area of a Right Circular Cone: Curved Surface Area of a Cone = 1/2 × l × 2Ï€r = Ï€rl and Total Surface Area of a Cone = Ï€rl + Ï€r2 = Ï€r(l + r).

• Surface Area of a Sphere: A sphere is like the surface of a ball. The word solid sphere is used for the
solid whose surface is a sphere. Surface Area of a Sphere = 4 Ï€r2, Curved Surface Area of a Hemisphere = 2Ï€r2 and Total Surface Area of a Hemisphere = 3Ï€r2.

• Volume of a Cuboid: The measure of this occupied space is called the Volume of the object. Volume of a Cuboid = base area × height = length × breadth × height and Volume of a Cube = edge × edge × edge = a3.

• Volume of a Cylinder: The volume of a cylinder can be obtained as : base area × height = area of circular base × height = Ï€r2h So, Volume of a Cylinder = Ï€r2h.

• Volume of a Right Circular Cone: Volume of a Cone = 1/3 Ï€r2h where r is the base radius and h is the height of the cone.

• Volume of a Sphere: Volume of a Sphere = 4/3Ï€r3 where r is the radius of the sphere.

• Volume of a Hemisphere = 2/3Ï€r3 where r is the radius of the hemisphere.

Why we should solve NCERT Solutions for Chapter 13 Surface Areas and Volumes Class 9?

These Chapter 13 NCERT Solutions provided here will make you equipped with variety of concepts and help you in learning the concepts embedded in the question. Through these NCERT Solutions, one can easily complete their homework.

What is total surface area of a cone?

Total Surface Area of a Cone = Ï€rl + r2 = Ï€r(l + r).

What do you mean by Solids?

The bodies occupying space are called solids, such as a cuboid, a cube, a cylinder, a cone, a sphere, etc. These solids have plane or curved surfaces.

The floor area of a room is 100 m2 and its height is 8 m. Find its volume.

∵ Volume of a cuboid = [Base area] × Height
∴ Volume of the room = [Area of the floor] × height = 100 m2 × 8 m = 800 m3
Thus, the volume of the room = 800 m3.
