Q1Written answer

Find the circumference of the circle with the following radius. (Take π = 22/7)

(a) 14 cm

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

Given, the radius of the circle = 14 cm

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

= 2 × (22/7) × 14

= 2 × 22 × 2

= 88 cm

(b) 28 mm

Solution:-

Given, the radius of the circle = 28 mm

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

= 2 × (22/7) × 28

= 2 × 22 × 4

= 176 mm

(c) 21 cm

Solution:-

Given, the radius of the circle = 21 cm

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

= 2 × (22/7) × 21

= 2 × 22 × 3

= 132 cm

Q2Written answer

Find the area of the following circles, given that

(a) Radius = 14 mm (Take π = 22/7)

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Given, the radius of the circle = 14 mm

Then,

Area of the circle = πr2

= 22/7 × 142

= 22/7 × 196

= 22 × 28

= 616 mm2

(b) Diameter = 49 m

Given, the diameter of the circle (d) = 49 m

We know that radius (r) = d/2

= 49/2

= 24.5 m

Then,

Area of the circle = πr2

= 22/7 × (24.5)2

= 22/7 × 600.25

= 22 × 85.75

= 1886.5 m2

(c) Radius = 5 cm

Given, the radius of the circle = 5 cm

Then,

Area of the circle = πr2

= 22/7 × 52

= 22/7 × 25

= 550/7

= 78.57 cm2

Q3Written answer

If the circumference of a circular sheet is 154 m, find its radius. Also, find the area of the sheet. (Take π = 22/7)

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Circumference of the circle = 154 m

Then,

We know that the circumference of the circle = 2πr

154 = 2 × (22/7) × r

154 = 44/7 × r

r = (154 × 7)/44

r = (14 × 7)/4

r = (7 × 7)/2

r = 49/2

r = 24.5 m

Now,

Area of the circle = πr2

= 22/7 × (24.5)2

= 22/7 × 600.25

= 22 × 85.75

= 1886.5 m2

So, the radius of the circle is 24.5, and the area of the circle is 1886.5.

Q4Written answer

A gardener wants to fence a circular garden of diameter 21m. Find the length of the rope he needs to purchase, if he makes 2 rounds of the fence. Also, find the cost of the rope, if it costs ₹ 4 per meter. (Take π = 22/7)

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter and Area Image 15

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Diameter of the circular garden = 21 m

We know that radius (r) = d/2

= 21/2

= 10.5 m

Then,

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

= 2 × (22/7) × 10.5

= 462/7

= 66 m

So, the length of rope required = 2 × 66 = 132 m

Cost of 1 m rope = ₹ 4 [given]

Cost of 132 m rope = ₹ 4 × 132

= ₹ 528

Q5Written answer

From a circular sheet of radius 4 cm, a circle of radius 3 cm is removed. Find the area of the remaining sheet. (Take π = 3.14)

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Radius of circular sheet R = 4 cm

A circle of radius to be removed r = 3 cm

Then,

The area of the remaining sheet = πR2 – πr2

= π (R2 – r2)

= 3.14 (42 – 32)

= 3.14 (16 – 9)

= 3.14 × 7

= 21.98 cm2

So, the area of the remaining sheet is 21.98 cm2.

Q6Written answer

Saima wants to put lace on the edge of a circular table cover of diameter 1.5 m. Find the length of the lace required, and also, find its cost if one meter of the lace costs ₹ 15. (Take π = 3.14)

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Diameter of the circular table = 1.5 m

We know that radius (r) = d/2

= 1.5/2

= 0.75 m

Then,

Circumference of the circle = 2πr

= 2 × 3.14 × 0.75

= 4.71 m

So, the length of the lace = 4.71 m

Cost of 1 m lace = ₹ 15 [given]

Cost of 4.71 m lace = ₹ 15 × 4.71

= ₹ 70.65

Q7Written answer

Find the perimeter of the adjoining figure, which is a semicircle, including its diameter.

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter and Area Image 16

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Diameter of semi-circle = 10 cm

We know that radius (r) = d/2

= 10/2

= 5 cm

Then,

Circumference of the semi-circle = πr + 2r

= 3.14(5) + 2(5)

= 5 [3.14+ 2]

= 5 [5.14]

Therefore, the perimeter of the semicircle = 25.7 cm

Q8Written answer

Find the cost of polishing a circular table top of diameter 1.6 m, if the rate of polishing is ₹15/m2. (Take π = 3.14)

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Diameter of the circular table-top = 1.6 m

We know that radius (r) = d/2

= 1.6/2

= 0.8 m

Then,

Area of the circular table-top = πr2

= 3.14 × 0.82

= 3.14 × 0.8 ×0.8

= 2.0096 m2

Cost for polishing 1 m2 area = ₹ 15 [given]

Cost for polishing 2.0096 m2 area = ₹ 15 × 2.0096

= ₹ 30.144

Hence, the cost of polishing 2.0096 m2 area is ₹ 30.144.

Q9Written answer

Shazli took a wire of length 44 cm and bent it into the shape of a circle. Find the radius of that circle. Also, find its area. If the same wire is bent into the shape of a square, what will be the length of each of its sides? Which figure encloses more area, the circle or the square? (Take π = 22/7)

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Length of wire that Shazli took =44 cm

Then,

If the wire is bent into a circle,

We know that the circumference of the circle = 2πr

44 = 2 × (22/7) × r

44 = 44/7 × r

(44 × 7)/44 = r

r = 7 cm

Area of the circle = πr2

= 22/7 × 72

= 22/7 × 7 ×7

= 22 × 7

= 154 cm2

Now,

If the wire is bent into a square,

The length of each side of the square = 44/4

= 11 cm

Area of the square = Length of the side of square2

= 112

= 121 cm2

By comparing the two areas of the square and circle,

Clearly, the circle encloses more area.

Q10Written answer

From a circular card sheet of radius 14 cm, two circles of radius 3.5 cm and a rectangle of length 3 cm and breadth 1cm are removed. (As shown in the adjoining figure.) Find the area of the remaining sheet. (Take π = 22/7)

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 11 Perimeter and Area Image 17

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that

Radius of the circular card sheet = 14 cm

Radius of the two small circles = 3.5 cm

Length of the rectangle = 3 cm

Breadth of the rectangle = 1 cm

First, we have to find out the area of the circular card sheet, two circles and the rectangle to find out the remaining area.

Now,

Area of the circular card sheet = πr2

= 22/7 × 142

= 22/7 × 14 × 14

= 22 × 2 × 14

= 616 cm2

Area of the 2 small circles = 2 × πr2

= 2 × (22/7 × 3.52)

= 2 × (22/7 × 3.5 × 3.5)

= 2 × ((22/7) × 12.25)

= 2 × 38.5

= 77 cm2

Area of the rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 3 × 1

= 3 cm2

Now,

The area of the remaining part = Card sheet area – (Area of two small circles + Rectangle area)

= 616 – (77 + 3)

= 616 – 80

= 536 cm2
