    Answer:

    1.

    1643870897163

    Area of above shape = (\pi \times 7^{2})\div 2 = 77 cm^{2}

    1643870896823

    Area of above shape = 14\times 7 = 98cm^{2}

    1643870896187

    Area of above shape = 7\times 7 = 49cm^{2}

    1643870894567

    Area of above triangle = \frac{1}{2}\times 14\times 7=49cm^{2}

    1643870911717

    Area of above shape = b*h =

    14\times 7=98cm^{2}

    Question:(b) Write the perimeter of each shape.

    45454578


    1643871037982

    Answer:

    2.

    1643871007420

    Perimeter of shape = \pi \times r + 2\times r=\pi \times 7+2\times 7=36cm

    1643871007699

    perimeter of shape = 2\left ( l+ b \right )= 2\left ( 14+ 7 \right ) = 42 cm

    1643871008242

    perimeter of shape = 4\times side= 4\times 7=28cm

    1643871008617

    perimeter of shape = 14+11+9=34cm

    1643871074104

    perimeter of this shape cannot be calculated only with height and breadth,we need slant height or angle.

    Screenshot%20(75) Answer:

    Given:

    Perimeter of square = perimeter of rectangle

    \Rightarrow 4\times side = 2(length + breadth)

    \Rightarrow 4\times 60 = 2(80 + breadth)

    \Rightarrow 240\div 2=(80+breadth)

    \Rightarrow 120=(80+breadth)

    \Rightarrow (breadth)=120-80

    \Rightarrow (breadth)=40

    Area of square = side^{2}= 60^{2}=3600 m^{2}

    Area of rectangle = = (length\times breadth)=80\times 40=3200m^{2}

    Hence, the area of the square is greater than the area of the rectangle.

    Question:3 The shape of a garden is rectangular in the middle and semi-circular at the ends as shown in the diagram. Find the area and the perimeter of this garden [Length of rectangle is 20 – (3.5 + 3.5) metres]. 1643871256807 Answer:

    Length of rectangle is 20 – (3.5 + 3.5) metres=13 metres

    Breadth of rectangle = 7 metres

    diameter of circular side = 7metres

    Area of garden = area of rectangle + 2 times area of semi circular part

    Area of garden

    =\left ( 13\times 7 \right ) + \left ( \pi \times 7^{2}\div 4 \right )

    =129.5 metres^{2}

    Perimetre of garden

    =\left ( 2\times \pi \times r \right )+\left ( 2\times 13 \right )

    =\left ( 22 \right )+\left ( 26 \right )

    =48 metres

    NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 11 Mensuration - Topic 11.3 Area Of Trapezium

    Question:1 Nazma’s sister also has a trapezium-shaped plot. Divide it into three parts as shown (Fig 11.4). Show that the area of a trapezium

    WXYZ=h\frac{(a+b)}{2} .

    2323

    Answer:

    Area of trapezium WXYZ = Area of triangle with base 'c' + area of rectangle + area of triangle with base'd'

    =(\frac{1}{2}\times c\times h)+(b\times h)+\left ( \frac{1}{2}\times d\times h \right )

    Taking 'h' common, we get

    =(\frac{c}{2}+b+\frac{d}{2})h

    =h(\frac{c+d}{2}+b)

    Replacing c+d =a-b

    =h(\frac{a-b}{2}+b)

    =h(\frac{a+b}{2})

    Hence proved that the area of a trapezium

    WXYZ=h\frac{(a+b)}{2}

    Question:2 If h = 10 cm, c = 6 cm, b = 12 cm, d = 4 cm, find the values of each of its parts separetely and add to find the area WXYZ. Verify it by putting the values of h, a and b in the expression \frac{h(a+b)}{2} .

    2323

    Answer:

    2323

    Area of trapezium WXYZ = Area of traingle with base'c'+area of rectangle +area of triangle with base 'd'

    =\left ( \frac{1}{2}\times c\times h \right )+\left ( b\times h \right )+\left ( \frac{1}{2}\times d\times h \right )

    =\left ( \frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 10 \right )+\left ( 12\times 10 \right )+\left ( \frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 10 \right )

    =\left ( 30 \right )+\left ( 120 \right )+\left ( 20 \right )

    =170 cm^{2}

    the area WXYZ by the expression

    . \frac{h(a+b)}{2}

    =\frac{10 \left ( 22+12 \right )}{2}

    =\frac{10 \left ( 34 \right )}{2}

    =10\times 17

    =170 cm^{2}

    Hence,we can conclude area from given expression and calculated area is equal.

    area of a trapezium =

    =\frac{1}{2}\times \left ( 10+x \right )\times 4=34

    = \left ( 10+x \right )=17

    x=17-10

    x=7 cm

    Hence,the length of the other parallel side is 7cm

    Question:3 Length of the fence of a trapezium shaped field ABCD is 120 m . If BC = 48 m , CD = 17 m and AD = 40 m , find the area of this field. Side AB is perpendicular to the parallel sides AD and BC .

    1643871610276

    Answer:

    BC = 48 m , CD = 17 m and AD = 40 m ,

    Length of the fence of a trapezium shaped field ABCD = 120 m = AB+BC+CD+DA

    120=AB+48+17+40

    AB=15m

    Area of trapezium =

    \frac{1}{2}\times sum \, of\, parallel\, sides\times height

    =\frac{1}{2}\times (40+48)\times 15

    =\frac{1}{2}\times (88)\times 15

    = (44)\times 15

    =660m^{2}

    Question:8 Mohan wants to buy a trapezium shaped field. Its side along the river is parallel to and twice the side along the road. If the area of this field is 10500 m^{2} and the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides is 100 m, find the length of the side along the river.

    2626

    Answer:

    Let the length of the side along road be x m.

    Then according to question, lenght of side along river will be 2x m.

    Area \:of \:trapezium = \frac{1}{2}h(a+b)

    So equation becomes :

    \frac{1}{2}100(x+2x) = 10500

    or 3x = 210

    or x = 70

    So the length of the side along the river is 2x = 140m.

    Question:9 Top surface of a raised platform is in the shape of a regular octagon as shown in the figure. Find the area of the octagonal surface . 1643871675480 Answer:

    Area of octagonal surface = Area of rectangular surface + 2(Area of trapezium surface)

    Area of recatangular surface = 11\times5 = 55 m^2

    Area of trapezium surface =

    \frac{1}{2}\times4(11+5) = 2\times16 = 32 m^2

    So total area of octagonal surface = 55 + 2(32) = 55 + 64 = 119 m^2

    Question:10 There is a pentagonal shaped park as shown in the figure. For finding its area Jyoti and Kavita divided it in two different ways.

    3636333

    Question:2 A suitcase with measures 80 cm \times 48 cm \times 24 cm is to be covered with a tarpaulin cloth. How many metres of tarpaulin of width 96 cm is required over 100 such suitcases?

    Answer:

    Surface area of suitcase = 2(80\times48+48\times24+24\times80) = 13824\ cm^2 .

    Area of such 100 suitcase will be 1382400\ cm^2

    So lenght of tarpaulin cloth = \frac{1382400\ cm^2 }{96\ cm} = 14400\ cm\ or\ 144m

    Question:3 Find the side of a cube whose surface area is 600 cm^{2} .

    Answer:

    Surface area of cube =\ 6l^2

    So, 6l^2 = 600

    or l^2 = 100

    or l = 10\ cm .

    Thus side of cube is 10 cm.

    Question:4 Rukhsar painted the outside of the cabinet of measure 1 m \times 2 m \times 1.5 m . How much surface area did she cover if she painted all except the bottom of the cabinet.

    456

    Answer:

    Required area = Total area - Area of bottom surface

    Total area = 2(1\times2+ 2\times1.5 + 1.5\times1 ) = 13\ m^2

    Area of bottom surface = 1\times2 = 2\ m^2

    So required area = 13-2\ m^2 = 11\ m^2

    Question:5 Daniel is painting the walls and ceiling of a cuboidal hall with length, breadth and height of 15 m, 10 m and 7 m respectively. From each can of paint 100 m^{2} of area is painted. How many cans of paint will she need to paint the room?

    Answer:

    Total area painted by Daniel :

    = 2(15\times10+10\times7+7\times15) - 15\times10 ( \because Bottom surface is excluded.)

    So, Area

    = 650 - 150\ m^2 = 500\ m^2

    No. of cans of paint required

    =\frac{ 500\ m^2}{100\ m^2} = 5

    Thus 5 cans of paint are required.

    Question:6 Describe how the two figures at the right are alike and how they are different. Which box has a larger lateral surface area?

    1659338695497

    Answer:

    The two figures have same height.The diference between them is one is cylinder and another is cube.

    lateral surface area of cylinder = 2\times \pi \times r\times h

    =2\times \pi \times 3.5\times 7

    =154 cm^{2}

    lateral surface area of cube = 4\times side^{2}

    =4\times 7^{2}

    =4\times 49

    =196 cm^{2}

    Cube has a larger lateral surface area.

    Question:8 The lateral surface area of a hollow cylinder is 4224 cm^{2} . It is cut along its height and formed a rectangular sheet of width 33 cm . Find the perimeter of rectangular sheet?

    Answer:

    Lenght of rectangular sheet

    = \frac{4224}{33} = 128\ cm

    NCERT class 8 maths ch 11 question answer - Topic 11.8.1 Cuboid

    Question:1 Find the volume of the following cuboids 1643871835132

    Answer:

    (i) Volume of cuboid is given as:

    Volume\ of\ cuboid = length\times breadth\times height ,

    So, Given that Length = 8cm, Breadth = 3cm, and height = 2 cm so,

    its volume will be = 8cm\times 3cm\times 2cm = 48cm^3 .

    Aslo for Given Surface area of cuboid 24m^2 and height = 3 cm we can easily calculate the volume:

    Volume = Surface\ area\times height ;

    So, Volume = Volume = 24m^2\times \frac{3m}{100} = 0.72m^3

    NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 11 Mensuration-Exercise: 11.4

    Question:1(a) Given a cylindrical tank, in which situation will you find surface area and in
    which situation volume.

    To find how much it can hold.

    Answer:

    (a) To find out how much the cylindrical tank can hold we will basically find out the volume of the cylinder.

    Question:1(b) Given a cylindrical tank, in which situation will you find surface area and in
    which situation volume.

    Number of cement bags required to plaster it.

    Answer:

    (b) if we want to find out the cement bags required to plaster it means the area to be applied, we then calculate the surface area of the bags .

    Question:1(c) Given a cylindrical tank, in which situation will you find surface area and in
    which situation volume.

    To find the number of smaller tanks that can be filled with water from it.

    Answer:

    (c) We have to find out the volume.

    Question:2 Diameter of cylinder A is 7 cm, and the height is 14 cm. Diameter of cylinder B is 14 cm and height is 7 cm. Without doing any calculations can you suggest whose volume is greater? Verify it by finding the volume of both the cylinders. Check whether the cylinder with greater volume also has greater surface area?

    1655617952866

    Answer:

    Given the diameter of cylinder A = 7cm and the height = 14cm.

    Also, the diameter of cylinder B = 14cm and height = 7cm.

    We can easily suggest whose volume is greater without doing any calculations:

    As volume is directly proportional to the square of the radius of cylinder and directly proportional to the height of the cylinder hence

    B has more Volume as compared to A because B has a larger diameter.

    Verifying:

    Volume of A : \pi\times r^2\times height = \pi\times (\frac{7cm}{2})^2\times 14cm =539cm^3

    and Volume of B : \pi\times r^2\times height = \pi\times (\frac{14cm}{2})^2\times 7cm =1,078cm^3 .

    Hence clearly we can see that the volume of cylinder B is greater than the volume of cylinder A.

    The cylinder B has surface area of = 2\times \pi\times r(r+h) = 2\times \pi\times \frac{14cm}{2}(\frac{14}{2}+7) = 616cm^2 .

    and the surface area of cylinder A = 2\times \pi\times r(r+h) = 2\times \pi\times \frac{7cm}{2}\times (\frac{7}{2}+14) = 385cm^2 .

    The cylinder with greater volume also has greater surface area.

    Question:3 Find the height of a cuboid whose base area is 180 cm 2 and volume is 900 cm 3?

    Answer:

    Given that the height of a cuboid whose base area is 180cm^2 and volume is 900cm^3 ;

    As Volume\ of\ cuboid = Base\ area\times height

    So, we have relation: 900cm^3= 180cm^2\times height

    or, Height = 5cm.

    Question:4 A cuboid is of dimensions 60 cm \times 54 cm \times 30 cm . How many small cubes with side 6 cm can be placed in the given cuboid?

    Answer:

    So given the dimensions of cuboid 60 cm \times 54 cm \times 30 cm hence it's the volume is equal to = 97,200cm^3

    We have to make small cubes with side 6cm which occupies the volume = 6cm\times 6cm\times 6cm = 216cm^3

    Hence we have now one cube having side length = 6cm volume = 216cm^3 .

    So, total numbers of small cubes that can be placed in the given cuboid = \frac{97,200}{216} =450

    Hence 450 small cubes can be placed in that cuboid.

    Question:5 Find the height of the cylinder whose volume is 1.54 m 3 and diameter of the base is 140 cm ?

    Answer:

    Given that the volume of the cylinder is 1.54m^3 and having its diameter of base = 140cm.

    So, as Volume\ of\ cylinder = Base\ area\times height ;

    hence putting in the relation we get;

    1.54m^3= (\pi\times (\frac{1.4m}{2})^2)\times height

    The height of the cylinder would be = 1metre .

    Question:6 A milk tank is in the form of cylinder whose radius is 1.5 m and length is 7 m. Find the quantity of milk in litres that can be stored in the tank?

    Answer:

    Volume of the cylinder = V = \Pi r^2h

    \Pi (1.5)^2\times7 = 49.48\ m^3

    So the quantity of milk in litres that can be stored in the tank is 49500 litres.

    \left ( \because 1\ m^3 = 1000\ litres \right )

    Question:7(i) If each edge of a cube is doubled,

    how many times will its surface area increase?

    Answer:

    The surface area of cube = 6l^2

    So if we double the edge l becomes 2l.

    New surface area = 6(2l)^2 = 24l^2

    Thus surface area becomes 4 times.

    Question:7(ii) If each edge of a cube is doubled,

    how many times will its volume increase?

    Answer:

    Volume of cube = l^3

    Since l becomes 2l, so new volume is : (2l)^3 = 8l^3 .

    Hence volume becomes 8 times.

    Question:8 Water is pouring into a cubiodal reservoir at the rate of 60 litres per minute. If the volume of reservoir is 108\ m^3 , find the number of hours it will take to fill the reservoir.

    Answer:

    Given that the water is pouring into a cuboidal reservoir at the rate of 60 litres per minute.

    Volume of the reservoir is 108\ m^3 , then

    The number of hours it will take to fill the reservoir will be:

    As we know 1m^3 = 1000L .

    Then 108\ m^3 = 108,000 Litres ;

    Time taken to fill the tank will be:

    \frac{1,08,000litres}{60litres\ per\ minute} = 1,800 minutes

    or \frac{1,800hours}{60} =30hours .
