Q111Written answer

A decimal number is multiplied by itself. If the product is 51.84, find the number.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

Let us assume decimal number be ‘a’.

We know that, a × a = a2

So,

a × a = 51.84

a2 = 51.84

a = √51.84

The required number is found out by using long division method.

Then,

a = √51.84

a = 7.2

∴7.2 is the decimal number is multiplied by itself and its product is 51.84.

Solution:-

Let us assume decimal fraction be ‘a’.

We know that, a × a = a2

So,

a × a = 84.64

a2 = 84.64

a = √84.64

The required number is found out by using long division method.

Then,

a = √84.64

a = 9.2

∴9.2 is the decimal fraction is multiplied by itself and its product is 84.64.

Q113Written answer

A farmer wants to plough his square field of side 150m. How much area will he have to plough?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question it is given that,

Length of the side of square field = 150 m

We know that, are of square = side × side

So,

Area of the square field = 150 × 150

= 22,500 m2

∴The farmer have to plough 22,500 m2 area.

Q114Written answer

What will be the number of unit squares on each side of a square graph paper if the total number of unit squares is 256?

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question it is given that,

The total number of unit squares is = 256.

Let us assume the number be ‘a’

We know that, a × a = a2

So,

a × a = 256

a2 = 256

a = √256

a = √(16 × 16)

a = √162

a = 16

∴The number of unit squares are 16.

Q115Written answer

If one side of a cube is 15m in length, find its volume.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question it is given that,

Length of one side of the a cube = 15 m

We know that, volume of cube = (side)3

= 153

= 15 × 15 × 15

= 3375 m3

∴The volume of cube is 3375 m3.

Q116Written answer

The dimensions of a rectangular field are 80m and 18m. Find the length of its diagonal.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

NCERT Exemplar Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Image 31

From the question it is given that,

Length of rectangular field = 80 m

Breadth of rectangular field = 18 m

Then,

Length of diagonal = √(length2 + breadth2)

= √(802 + 182)

= √(6400 + 324)

= √6724

= 82 m

∴The Length of diagonal is 82 m.

Q117Written answer

Find the area of a square field if its perimeter is 96m.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

Given, perimeter of the square field = 96 m

We know that, perimeter of square = 4 × side

Then,

96 = 4 × side

Side = 96/4

Side = 24 m

So, the length of the side of square = 24 m

Now,

Area of the square field = (side)2

= 242

= 576 m2

∴The area of the square field is 576m2.

Q118Written answer

Find the length of each side of a cube if its volume is 512 cm3.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

From the question it is given that,

Volume of the cube = 512 cm3

We know that,

Volume of cube = side3

512 = side3

By taking cube root on both the side,

3√512 = side

Side = 3√(8 × 8 × 8)

Side = 3√ (8)3

Side = 8 cm

∴The length of each side of a cube is 8 cm.

Q119Written answer

Three numbers are in the ratio 1:2:3 and the sum of their cubes is 4500. Find the numbers.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

Let us assume the three number be a, 2a, 3a

Then,

Given, sum of cube of three numbers is 4500

i.e. a3 + (2a)3 + (3a)3 = 4500

a3 + 8a3 + 27a3 = 4500

36a3 = 4500

a3 = 4500/36

a3 = 125

a = 3√125

a = 3√(5 × 5 × 5)

a = 3√(53)

a = 5

∴The numbers are, a = 5

2a = 2 × 5 = 10

3a = 3 × 5 = 15
