Q21Written answer

Length of tape required to cover the edges of a semicircular disc of radius 10 cm is (a) 62.8 cm (b) 51.4 cm (c) 31.4 cm (d) 15.7 cm

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) 51.4 cm

From the question, it is given that, radius of semicircular disc 10 cm

We know that, perimeter of semicircular disc = circumference of semicircle + diameter

Circumference of semicircle = 2πr/2

= πr

= (22/7) × 10

= 31.4 cm

Then, total tape required = 31.4 + 10 + 10

= 51.4 cm

Q22Written answer

Area of a circular garden with a diameter 8 m is

(a) 12.56 m2 (b) 25.12 m2 (c) 50.24 m2 (d) 200.96 m2

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(c) 50.24 m2

We know that, area of circle = πr2

Diameter = 8m

Then, radius = 8m/2

Radius = 4 m

So, area = (22/7) × 4 × 4

= 50.24 m2

Q23Written answer

Area of a circle with diameter ‘m’ radius ‘n’ and circumference ‘p’ is

(a) 2πn (b) πm2 (c) πp2 (d) πn2

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(d) πn2

We know that, area of circle = πr2

Where r = radius = n

Q24Written answer

A table top is semicircular in shape with diameter 2.8 m. Area of this tabletop is

(a) 3.08 m2 (b) 6.16 m2 (c) 12.32 m2 (d) 24.64 m2

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(a) 3.08 m2

From the question it is given that, diameter of semicircular shape = 2.8 m

So, radius of semicircular shape = 2.8/2 = 1.4 m

Then, area of semicircular shape of table top = πr2/2

= ((22/7) × 1.4 × 1.4)/2

= 3.08 m2

Q25Written answer

If 1m2 = x mm2, then the value of x is

(a) 1000 (b) 10000 (c) 100000 (d) 1000000

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(d) 1000000

We know that, 1 m = 100 cm

1 cm = 10 mm

So, 1 m = 10 × 100

1 m = 1000 mm

Then, 1 m2 = 1000 × 1000

1 m2 = 1000000

Q26Written answer

If p squares of each side 1 mm makes a square of side 1cm, then p is equal to

(a) 10 (b) 100 (c) 1000 (d) 10000

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question, it is given that, if p squares of each side 1mm makes a square of side 1cm.

We know that, area of square of side 1mm = side × side

= 1 × 1

= 1 mm2

Then, area of square of side 1cm = side × side

= 1 × 1

= 1 cm2

So, area of square of side 1mm = area of square of side 1cm

P × 1 mm2 = 1 cm2

Pmm2 = (10mm)2

Therefore, Pmm2 = 100 mm2

Q27Written answer

12 m2 is the area of

(a) a square with side 12 m

(b) 12 squares with side 1 m each

(c) 3 squares with side 4 m each

(d) 4 squares with side 3 m each

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) 12 squares with side 1m each

Area of square = side × side

Area of square of 1 m side = 1 × 1

= 1 m2

Therefore, area of 12 squares of 1 m side = 12 × 1

= 12 m2

Q28Written answer

If each side of a rhombus is doubled, how much will its area increase?

(a) 1.5 times (b) 2 times (c) 3 times (d) 4 times

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) 2 times

Consider b as the side and h as the height of a rhombus.

Area of rhombus = b x h                 [Since, area of rhombus = base x corresponding height]

Here, if each side of rhombus is doubled, then the side of rhombus = 2b

Area of rhombus = 2b x h = 2(b x h) = 2 times of original

Hence, if each side of a rhombus is doubled, its area will be increased by 2 times.

Q29Written answer

If the sides of a parallelogram are increased to twice their original lengths, how much will the perimeter of the new parallelogram be?

(a) 1.5 times (b) 2 times (c) 3 times (d) 4 times

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) 2 times

We know that, perimeter of parallelogram = 2 (length + breadth)

If the sides of a parallelogram are increased to twice its original lengths,

= 2 (2length + 2breadth)

= 2 × 2 (length + breadth)

Hence, the perimeter will increase by 2 times the perimeter of the original parallelogram.

Q30Written answer

If the radius of a circle is increased to twice its original length, how much will the area of the circle increase?

(a) 1.4 times (b) 2 times (c) 3 times (d) 4 times

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(d) 4 times

We know that, area of the circle = πr2

Where, r = radius of original circle

Then, radius is doubled = 2r

Then, area of new circle = π(2r)2

= π4r2

Hence, the area will increase by 4 times the area of the original circle.
