Q11Written answer

A car has two wipers which do not overlap. Each wiper has a blade of length 25 cm sweeping through an angle of ${115}^{\circ}$. Find the total area cleaned at \[{115^ \circ }\] each sweep of the blades. $\pi =\dfrac{22}{7}$

Worked solution

Ans:

Given that, 

Each blade of wiper will sweep an area of a sector of 115° in a circle of 25 cm radius.

Area of sector \[ = \dfrac{{{{115}^ \circ }}}{{{{360}^ \circ }}} \times \pi  \times {\left( {25} \right)^2}\]

                        \[ = \dfrac{{158125}}{{252}}c{m^2}\]

Area swept by 2 blades \[ = 2 \times \dfrac{{158125}}{{252}}\]

                                      \[ = \dfrac{{158125}}{{126}}c{m^2}\].

Therefore, the total area cleaned at each sweep of the blades is \[\dfrac{{158125}}{{126}}c{m^2}\].

 

Q12Written answer

To warn ships of underwater rocks, a lighthouse spreads a red colored light over a sector of angle \[{80^ \circ }\] to a distance of 16.5 km. Find the area of the sea over which the ships warned. \[\text{Use}\text{ }\pi =3.14\]

Worked solution

Ans: 

Given that, 

The lighthouse spreads light across a sector (represented by the shaded part in the figure) of \[{80^ \circ }\] in a circle of 16.5 km radius. 

Area of sector OACB \[ = \dfrac{{{{80}^ \circ }}}{{{{360}^ \circ }}} \times \pi {r^2}\]

                                    \[ = \dfrac{2}{9} \times 3.14 \times {(16.5)^2}\]

                                    \[ = 189.97k{m^2}\]

Hence, the area of the sea over which the ships are warned is \[189.97k{m^2}\].

 

Q13Written answer

A round table cover has six equal designs as shown in figure. If the radius of the cover is 28 cm, find the cost of making the designs at the rate of Rs.0.35 per ${cm}^{2}$.\[\text{Use}\sqrt{3}=1.7\text{ }\]

 

 

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans:

 

 

Given in the figure,

The designs are segments of the circle. 

Radius of the circle is 28cm.

Consider segment APB and chord AB is a side of the hexagon. 

Each chord will substitute at \[\dfrac{{{{360}^ \circ }}}{6} = {60^ \circ }\] at the center of the circle.

In \[OAB\],

Since, \[OA = OB\]

\[ \Rightarrow \angle OAB + \angle OBA + \angle AOB = {180^ \circ }\]

\[2\angle OAB = {180^ \circ } - {60^ \circ } = {120^ \circ }\]

\[\angle OAB = {60^ \circ }\]

Therefore, \[OAB\] is an equilateral triangle. 

Area of \[OAB\] \[ = \dfrac{{\sqrt 3 }}{4} \times {\left( {side} \right)^2}\]

                        \[ = \dfrac{{\sqrt 3 }}{4} \times {\left( {28} \right)^2}\]

                        \[ = 333.2c{m^2}\]

Area of sector OAPB \[ = \dfrac{{{{60}^ \circ }}}{{{{360}^ \circ }}} \times \pi {r^2}\]

                                   \[ = \dfrac{1}{6} \times \dfrac{{22}}{7} \times {(28)^2}\]

                                   \[ = \dfrac{{1232}}{3}c{m^2}\] 

Area of segment APBA = Area of sector OAPB − Area of ∆OAB

                                       \[ = \left( {\dfrac{{1232}}{3} - 333.2} \right)c{m^2}\]

Therefore, area of designs \[ = 6 \times \left( {\dfrac{{1232}}{3} - 333.2} \right)c{m^2}\]

                                           \[ = 464.8c{m^2}\]

Now, given that Cost of making 1 \[c{m^2}\] designs = Rs 0.35 

Cost of making 464.76 \[c{m^2}\] designs \[ = 464.8 \times 0.35 = \]162.68 

Therefore, the cost of making such designs is Rs 162.68.

 

Q14Written answer

Tick the correct answer in the following: Area of a sector of angle \[p\] (in degrees) of a circle with radius \[R\] is \[(A)\dfrac{P}{{180}} \times 2\pi R\] \[(B)\dfrac{P}{{180}} \times 2\pi {R^2}\] \[(C)\dfrac{P}{{180}} \times \pi R\] \[(D)\dfrac{P}{{720}} \times 2\pi {R^2}\]

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: 

We know that area of sector of angle \[\theta  = \dfrac{\theta }{{{{360}^ \circ }}} \times \pi {R^2}\] 

So, Area of sector of angle \[P = \dfrac{P}{{{{360}^ \circ }}}\left( {\pi {R^2}} \right)\] 

                                                \[ = \left( {\dfrac{P}{{{{720}^ \circ }}}} \right)\left( {2\pi {R^2}} \right)\]

Hence, (D) is the correct answer.
