Q41Written answer

All six faces of a cuboid are __________ in shape and of ______ area.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: Rectangular shape, different

Explanation:

It is known that a cuboid is made up of 6 rectangular faces which different lengths and breadths. Hence, it has a different area.

Q42Written answer

Opposite faces of a cuboid are _________ in area.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: Equal

Explanation:

A cuboid is made up of 6 rectangular faces, but the opposite sides have equal length and breadth. Hence, the opposite areas are equal.

Q43Written answer

Curved surface area of a cylinder of radius h and height r is _______.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: 2πrh

Explanation:

The CSA of a cylinder with radius “r” and height “h” is

CSA = 2π(r)(h)

Q44Written answer

Total surface area of a cylinder of radius h and height r is _________

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: 2πh(r + h)

Explanation:

Given radius = h and height = r

TSA of cylinder = CSA of cylinder + Area of top surface + Base area

TSA = 2πrh + πh2 + πh2 = 2πh(r + h)

Q45Written answer

Volume of a cylinder with radius h and height r is __________.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: πh2r cubic units

Q46Written answer

Area of a rhombus =1/2 product of _________.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: Diagonals

Explanation:

We know that the area of a rhombus = pq/2

Where p and q are diagonals.

Q47Written answer

Two cylinders, A and B, are formed by folding a rectangular sheet of dimensions 20 cm × 10 cm along its length and also along its breadth, respectively. Then, the volume of A is ________ of the volume of B.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: Twice

Explanation:

Rectangular sheet dimension is 20 cm × 10 cm

When a cylinder is folded along its length, which is 20 cm, then the resultant cylinder is with height 10 cm.

Again, if a cylinder is folded along its breadth, which is 10 cm, then the resultant cylinder is with height 20 cm

When the above conditions are applied in the volume of cylinder formula,

Then we get v = 2V

Q48Written answer

In the above question, the curved surface area of A is ________ curved surface area of B.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: Same

Explanation:

For cylinder A, h= 10 cm and r = 10/π

Thus, CSA of cylinder A = 2πrh = 200

For cylinder B, h= 12 cm and r = 5/π

Thus, CSA of cylinder B = 2πrh = 200

Q49Written answer

__________ of a solid is the measurement of the space occupied by it.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: Volume

Explanation:

The space occupied by any solids or three-dimensional shape is always measured in terms of volume.

Q50Written answer

__________ surface area of room = area of 4 walls.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution: Lateral

Explanation:

We know that the rooms are cuboid in shape, and the walls are considered as the lateral faces of the cuboid-shaped room.
