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 1 mcosts 
 20.

Answer

(i) Here, l = 1.5 m,
b = 1.25 m
h = 65 cm = (65/100) m = 0.65 m

∵ It is open from the top.
∵ Its surface area = [Lateral surface area] + [Base area]
= [2(l + b)h] + [l × b]
= [2(1.50 + 1.25)0.65 m2] + [1.50 x 1.25 m2]
= [2 x 2.75 x 0.65 m2] + [1. 875 m2]
= 3.575 m2 + 1.875 m= 5.45 m
∵ The total surface area of the box = 5.45 m2
∴ Area of the sheet required for making the box = 5.45 m2

(ii) ∵ Rate of sheet = ₹ 20 per m2
∴ Cost of 5.45 m= ₹ 20 x 5.45

⇒ Cost of the required sheet = ₹ 109

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 (l)= 5m  Breadth of the room (b) = 4 m
Height of the room (h) = 3 m
The room is like a cuboid whose four walls (lateral surface) and ceiling are to be white washed.
∴ Area for white washing = [Lateral surface area] + [Area of the ceiling]
= [2(l + b)h] + [l x b]
= [2(5 + 4) x 3 m2] + [5 x 4 m2]
= [54 m2] + [20 m2] = 74 m2
Cost of white washing: Cost of white washing for 1 m= ₹ 7.50
∴ Cost of white washing for 74 m2 = ₹ 7.50 x 74

= ₹ 555
The required cost of white washing is ₹555.

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.

Answer

Note: Area of four walls = Lateral surface area.
A rectangular hall means a cubiod.
Let the length and breadth of the hall be ‘l’ and ‘b’ respectively.
∴ [Perimeter of the floor] = 2(l + b) ⇒ 2(l + b) = 250 m.
∵ Area of four walls = Lateral surface area = [2(l + b)] x h [where ‘h’ is the height of hall.]
∴ Cost of painting the four walls = ₹ 10 x 250 h = ₹ 2500 h
⇒₹2500 h = ₹ 15000

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

Total area that can be painted = 9.375 m2, since a brick is like a cuboid
∴ Total surface area of a brick = 2[lb + bh + hl]
= 2[(22.5 x 10) + (10 x 7.5) + (7.5 x 22.5)] cm2
= 2[(225) + (75) + (168.75)] cm
= 2[468.75] cm2

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

For the cubical box
∵ Edge of the cubical box = 10 cm
∴ Lateral surface area = 4a2
= 4 × 102 cm2
= 4 × 100 cm2 
= 400 cm2

Total surface area = 6a2 
= 6 × 102 = 6 × 100 cm= 600 cm2

∵ For the cuboidal box,
l = 12.5 cm, b = 10 cm, h = 8 cm
∴ Lateral surface area = 2[(l + b)] x h
= 2[12.5 + 10] × 8 cm
= 2[22.5 x 8] cm2 = 360 cm2
Total surface area = 2[lb + bh + hl]
= 2[(12.5 × 10) + (10 x 8) + (8×12.5)] cm2
= 2[125 + 80 + 100] cm2
= 2[305] cm2 
= 610 cm2

Obviously,
(i) ∵ 400 cm2 > 360 cm2 and 400 – 360 = 40
∴ The cubical box, has greater lateral surface area by 40 m2
(ii) ∵ 610 cm2 > 600 cm2 and 610 – 600 = 10
∴ The cuboidal box has greater total surface area by 10 m2

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

The herbarium is like a cuboid Here, l = 30 cm, b = 25 cm, h = 25 cm

(i) ∵ Area of a cuboid = 2[lb + bh + hl]
∴ Surface area of the herbarium (glass) = 2[(30 × 25) + (25 × 25) + (25 × 30)] cm2
= 2[750 + 625 + 750] cm2
= 2[2125] cm2
= 4250 cm2
Thus, the required area of glass is 4250 cm2.

(ii) Total length of 12 edges = 4l + 4b + 4h = 4(l + b + h)
= 4(30 + 25 + 25) cm
= 4 × 80 cm = 320 cm
Thus, length of tape needed = 320 cm

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 x 20 cm x 5 cm and the smaller of dimensions 15 cm x 12 cm x 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

For bigger box:
Length (l) = 25 cm,
Breadth (b) = 20 cm,
Height (h) = 5 cm
∵ The box is like a cuboid and total surface area of a cuboid
= 2(lb + bh + hl)
∴ Area of a box = 2([25 × 20) + (20 x 5) + (5 × 25)] cm
= 2[500 + 100 + 125] cm2
= 2[725] cm2 
= 1450 cm2
⇒ Total surface area of 250 boxes = 250 × 1450 cm2 
= 362500 cm2

For smaller box:
l = 15 cm, b = 12 cm, h = 5 cm
Total surface area of a box = 2[lb + bh + hl]
= 2[(15 × 12) + (12 × 5) + (5 × 15)]cm2
= 2[180 + 60 + 75] cm2
= 2[315] cm2
= 630 cm2
⇒ Total surface area of 250 boxes = 250 x 630 cm2 = 157500 cm2

Now, total surface area of both kinds of boxes = 362500 cm2 + 157500 cm2
= 5,20,000 cm2
Area for overlaps = 5% of [total surface area]
= (5/100)x 520000 cm2 = 26000 cm2
∴ Total area of the cardboard required = [Total area of 250 boxes] + [5% of total surface area]
= 520000 cm2 + 26000 cm2
= 546000 cm2
Cost of cardboard:
∵   Cost of 1000 cm2 = ₹ 4
∴  Cost of 546000 cm2 
= (4/546000)/ 1000
= ₹ 4×546
= ₹ 2184

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

Here, height (h) = 2.5 m
Base dimension = 4 m × 3 m
⇒ Length (l) = 4 m and
Breadth (b) = 3 m
∵ The structure is like a cuboid.
∴ The surface area of the cuboid, excluding the base 
= [Lateral surface area] + [Area of ceiling] 
= [2 (l + b)h] + [lb]
= [2 (4 + 3) × 2.5] + [4 x 3] m2
= [35] + [12] m2 
= 47 m2
Thus, 47 m2 tarpaulin would be required.

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

Answer

Length of the tank (l) = 20 m
Breadth of the tank (b) = 15 m
Height of the tank (h) = 6 m
∴ Volume of the tank = l x b x h = 20 × 15 × 6 m3 = 1800 m
Since, 1 m3 = 1000 l
∴ Capacity of the tank = 1800 × 1000 l = 1800000 l
Village population = 4000
Since, 150 l of water is required per head per day.
∴ Amount of water is required per day = 150 x 4000 l.
Let the required number of days = x
∴  4000×150× x = 1800000

Thus, the required number of days is 3.

A solid cube of side 12 cm is cut into eight cubes of equal volume. What will be the side of the new cube? Also, find the ratio between their surface areas.

Answer

Side of the given cube = 12 cm
∴ Volume of the given cube = (side)3 = (12)3 cm
Side of the smaller cube:
Let the side of the new (smaller) cube = n
⇒ Volume of smaller cube = n
⇒ Volume of 8 smaller cubes = 8n3

n3 = (6)3
n = 6
Thus, the required side of the new (smaller) cube is 6 cm.
Ratio between surface areas:
Surface area of the given cube = 6 × (side)2
= 6 × 122 cm
= 6 × 12 × 12 cm2
Surface area of one smaller cube = 6 × (side)2
= 6 × 62 cm
= 6 × 6 × 6 cm2
∴ Surface area of 8 smaller cubes = 8 × 6 × 6 × 6 cm2
Now,

Thus, the required ratio = 1:4

A river 3 m deep and 40 m wide is flowing at the rate of 2 km per hour. How much water will fall into the sea in a minute?

Answer

The water flowing in a river can be considered in the form of a cuboid

Such that Length (l) = 2 km = 2000 m
Breadth (b) = 40 m
Depth (h) = 3 m
∴ Water volume (volume of the cuboid so formed) = l x b x h = 2000 x 40 x 3 m3
Now, volume of water fallowing in 1 hr (= 60 minutes) = 2000 x 40 x 3 m3
∴ Volume of water that will fall in 1 minute
= [ 2000 ×40×3]÷60 m3

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 cm3 = 1 l)

Answer

Let the base radius of the cylindrical vessel be ‘r’ cm.

∴ Circumference = 2πr
⇒ 2πr = 132  [∵ Circumference = 132 cm]

= 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

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) =  cm = 12 cm
Outer diameter of the pipe = 28 cm
⇒ Outer radius of the pipe (R) =  cm = 14 cm

Length of the pipe (h) = 35 cm
∵ Inner volume of the pipe = πr2h
Outer volume of the pipe = πr2h
∴ Amount of wood (volume) in the pipe = Outer volume – Inner volume
= πR2h - πr2h
= πh(R2-r2)
= πh(R+r)(R-r)  [∵ a2 - b2 = (a+b)(a-b)]

= 22 × 5 × 26 × 2 cm3
Mass of the wood in the pipe
= [Mass of wood in 1 m3 of wood] × [Volume of wood in the pipe]
= [0.6g] × [22 × 5 × 26 × 2] cm3
= (6/10)× 22 × 10 × 26 g
= 6 × 22 × 26 g

Thus, the required mass of the pipe is 3.432 kg.

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 cm...(1)
For cylindrical pack: Base diameter = 7 cm

= 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.

∵ Curved surface of a cylinder = 2 πrh
∴ 2πrh = 110

⇒ 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

Since, 1 m3 = 1000000 cm3 = 1000 l = 1 kl

The volume of right circular cone is 9856 cm3. If the diameter of the base is 28 cm, find
(i) height of the cone
(ii) slant height of the cone
(iii) curved surface area of the cone.

Answer

Volume of the cone (v) = 9856 cm3
Diameter of the base = 28 cm
⇒ Radius of the base =(28/2)cm = 14 cm
(i) To find the height Let the height of the cone be ‘h’ cm.

= 16 x 3 cm = 48 cm Thus, the required height is 48 cm.
(ii) To find the slant height Let the slant height be ‘ℓ’ cm.

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

Here, Height = 110 cm
Depth = 25 cm
Breadth = 85 cm
Thickness of the plank = 5 cm
Cost of polishing
∵ Area to be polished =
[(110 x 85)] + [(85 x 25) x 2] + [(110 x 25) x 2] + [(5 x 110) x 2] + [(75 x 5) x 4] cm2
= [9350] + [4250] + [5500] + [1100] + [1500] cm2
= 21700 cm2
∴ Cost of polishing at the rate 20 paise per cm2

Cost of painting
∵ Area to be painted = [(75 x 20) x 6] + [(90 x 20) x 2] + [90 x 75] cm
= [9000 + 3600 + 6750] cm2 = 19350 cm2
∴ Cost of painting at the rate of 10 paise per cm2

Total expenses = (Cost of polishing) + (Cost of painting)
