Exercise 13.1
1. A plastic box 1.5 m long, 1.25 m wide and 65 cm deep is to be made. It is opened at the top. Ignoring the thickness of the plastic sheet, determine:
(i) The area of the sheet required for making the box.
(ii) The cost of sheet for it, if a sheet measuring 1m2 costs Rs 20.
Answer
Length of plastic box (l) = 1.5 m
Width of plastic box (b) = 1.25 m
Depth of plastic box (h) = 0.65 m
(i) The area of sheet required to make the box is equal to the surface area of the box excluding the top.
Surface area of the box = Lateral surface area + Area of the base
= 2(l+b)×h + (l×b)
= 2[(1.5 + 1.25)×0.65] + (1.5 × 1.25) m2
= (3.575 + 1.875) m2
= 5.45 m2
The sheet required required to make the box is 5.45 m2
(ii) Cost of 1 m2 of sheet = Rs 20
∴ Cost of 5.45 m2 of sheet = Rs (20 × 5.45) = Rs 109
2. The length, breadth and height of a room are 5m, 4m and 3m respectively. Find the cost of white washing the walls of the room and the ceiling at the rate of ₹7.50 per m2.
Answer
length of the room = 5m
breadth of the room = 4m
height of the room = 3m
Area of four walls including the ceiling = 2(l+b)×h + (l×b)
= 2(5+4)×3 + (5×4) m2
= (54 + 20) m2
= 74 m2 Cost of white washing = ₹7.50 per m2
Total cost = ₹ (74×7.50) = ₹ 555
3. The floor of a rectangular hall has a perimeter 250 m. If the cost of painting the four walls at the rate of ₹10 per m2 is ₹15000, find the height of the hall.
[Hint : Area of the four walls = Lateral surface area.]
Answer
Perimeter of rectangular hall = 2(l + b) = 250 m
Total cost of painting = ₹15000
Rate per m2 = ₹10
Area of four walls = 2(l + b) h m2 = (250×h) m2
A/q,
(250×h)×10 = ₹15000
⇒ 2500×h = ₹15000
⇒ h = 15000/2500 m
⇒ h = 6 m
Thus the height of the hall is 6 m.
4. The paint in a certain container is sufficient to paint an area equal to 9.375 m2. How many bricks of dimensions 22.5 cm×10 cm×7.5 cm can be painted out of this container?
Answer
Volume of paint = 9.375 m2 = 93750 cm2
Dimension of brick = 22.5 cm×10 cm×7.5 cm
Total surface area of a brick = 2(lb + bh + lh) cm2
= 2(22.5×10 + 10×7.5 + 22.5×7.5) cm2
= 2(225 + 75 + 168.75) cm2
= 2×468.75 cm2 = 937.5 cm2
Number of bricks can be painted = 93750/937.5 = 100
5. A cubical box has each edge 10 cm and another cuboidal box is 12.5 cm long, 10 cm wide and 8 cm high.
(i) Which box has the greater lateral surface area and by how much?
(ii) Which box has the smaller total surface area and by how much?
Answer
(i) Lateral surface area of cubical box of edge 10cm = 4×102 cm2 = 400 cm2
Lateral surface area of cuboid box = 2(l+b)×h
= 2×(12.5+10)×8 cm2
= 2×22.5×8 cm2 = 360 cm2
Thus, lateral surface area of the cubical box is greater by (400 – 360) cm2 = 40 cm2
(ii) Total surface area of cubical box of edge 10 cm =6×102cm2=600cm2
Total surface area of cuboidal box = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(12.5×10 + 10×8 + 8×12.5) cm2
= 2(125+80+100) cm2
= (2×305) cm2 = 610 cm2
Thus, total surface area of cubical box is smaller by 10 cm2
6. A small indoor greenhouse (herbarium) is made entirely of glass panes (including base) held together with tape. It is 30 cm long, 25 cm wide and 25 cm high.
(i) What is the area of the glass?
(ii) How much of tape is needed for all the 12 edges?
Answer
(i) Dimensions of greenhouse:
l = 30 cm, b = 25 cm, h = 25 cm
Total surface area of green house = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(30×25 + 25×25 + 25×30) cm2
= 2(750 + 625 + 750) cm2
= 4250 cm2
(ii) Length of the tape needed = 4(l + b + h)
= 4(30 + 25 + 25) cm
= 4×80 cm = 320 cm
7. Shanti Sweets Stall was placing an order for making cardboard boxes for packing their sweets. Two sizes of boxes were required. The bigger of dimensions 25 cm × 20 cm × 5 cm and the smaller of dimensions 15 cm × 12 cm × 5 cm. For all the overlaps, 5% of the total surface area is required extra. If the cost of the cardboard is ₹4 for 1000 cm2 , find the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind.
Answer
Dimension of bigger box = 25 cm × 20 cm × 5 cm
Total surface area of bigger box = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(25×20 + 20×5 + 25×5) cm2
= 2(500 + 100 + 125) cm2
= 1450 cm2
Dimension of smaller box = 15 cm × 12 cm × 5 cm
Total surface area of smaller box = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(15×12 + 12×5 + 15×5) cm2
= 2(180 + 60 + 75) cm2
= 630 cm2
Total surface area of 250 boxes of each type = 250(1450 + 630) cm2
= 250×2080 cm2 = 520000 cm2
Extra area required = 5/100(1450 + 630) × 250 cm2 = 26000 cm2
Total Cardboard required = 520000 + 26000 cm2 = 546000 cm2
Total cost of cardboard sheet = ₹ (546000 × 4)/1000 = ₹ 2184
8. Parveen wanted to make a temporary shelter for her car, by making a box-like structure with tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (with the front face as a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitching margins are very small, and therefore negligible, how much tarpaulin would be required to make the shelter of height 2.5 m, with base dimensions 4m × 3m?
Answer
Dimensions of the box- like structure = 4m × 3m × 2.5
Tarpaulin only required for all the four sides and top.
Thus, Tarpaulin required = 2(l+b)×h + lb = [2(4+3)×2.5 + 4×3] m2
= (35+12) m2
= 47 m2
Exercise 13.2
1. The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height 14 cm is 88 cm2. Find the diameter of the base of the cylinder.
Answer
Let r be the radius of the base and h = 14 cm be the height of the cylinder.
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh = 88 cm2
⇒ 2 × 22/7 × r × 14 = 88
⇒ r = 88/ (2 × 22/7 × 14)
⇒ r = 1 cm
Thus, the diameter of the base = 2r = 2×1 = 2cm
2. It is required to make a closed cylindrical tank of height 1 m and base diameter 140 cm from a metal sheet. How many square metres of the sheet are required for the same?

(iii) total surface area.
r = 4/2 cm = 2 cm
h = 77 cm
(i) Inner curved surface = 2πrh cm2
= 2 × 22/7 × 2 × 77cm2
= 968 cm2
(ii) Outer curved surface = 2πRh cm2
= 2 × 22/7 × 2.2 × 77 cm2
= 1064.8 cm2
(iii) Total surface area of a pipe = Inner curved surface area + outer curved surface area + areas of two bases
= 2πrh + 2πRh + 2π(R2 – r2)
= [968 + 1064.8 + (2 × 22/7) (4.84 – 4)] cm2
= (2032.8 + 44/7 × 0.84) cm2
= (2032.8 + 5.28) cm2 = 2038.08 cm2

Answer
(i) Curved surface of a cone = 308 cm2
Slant height (l) = 14cm
Let r be the radius of the base
∴ πrℓ = 308
⇒ 22/7 × r × 14 = 308
⇒ r =308/(22/7 × 14) = 7 cm
(ii) TSA of the cone = πr(l + r) cm2
= 22/7 × 7 ×(14 + 7) cm2
= (22 × 21) cm2
= 462 cm2

Answer
Radius of the base (r) = 24 m
Height of the conical tent (h) = 10 m
Let l be the slant height of the cone.
∴ l2 = h2 + r2
⇒ l = √h2 + r2
⇒ l = √102 + 242
⇒ l = √100 + 576
⇒ l = 26 m
(ii) Canvas required to make the conical tent = Curved surface of the cone
Cost of 1 m2 canvas = ₹70
∴ πrl = (22/7 × 24 × 26) m2 = 13728/7 m2
∴ Cost of canvas = ₹ 13728/7 × 70 = ₹137280
5. What length of tarpaulin 3m wide will be required to make conical tent of height 8m and base radius 6m? Assume that the extra length of material that will be required for stitching margins and wastage in cutting is approximately 20cm (Use π = 3.14).
Answer
Radius of the base (r) = 6 m
Height of the conical tent (h) = 8 m
Let l be the slant height of the cone.
∴ l = √h2 + r2
⇒ l = √82 + 62
⇒ l = √100
⇒ l = 10 m
CSA of conical tent = πrl
= (3.14 × 6 × 10) m2 = 188.4 m2
Breadth of tarpaulin = 3 m
Let length of tarpaulin sheet required be x.
20 cm will be wasted in cutting.
So, the length will be (x – 0.2 m)
Breadth of tarpaulin = 3 m
Area of sheet = CSA of tent
[(x – 0.2 m) × 3] m = 188.4 m2
⇒ x – 0.2 m = 62.8 m
⇒ x = 63 m
Answer
Radius (r) = 14/2 m = 7 m
Slant height tomb (l) = 25 m
Curved surface area = πrl m2
=(227×25×7) m2

Let l be the slant height
∴ l = √h2 + r2
⇒ l = √242 + 72
⇒ l = √625
⇒ l = 25 m
Sheet required for one cap = Curved surface of the cone
= πrl cm2
= (22/7 × 7 × 25) cm2
= 550 cm2
Sheet required for 10 caps = 550 × 10 cm2 = 5500 cm2

If the outer side of each of the cones is to be painted and the cost of painting is ₹12 per m2 , what will be the cost of painting all these cones? (Use π = 3.14 and take √1.04 = 1.02)
Answer
Radius of the cone (r) = 40/2 cm = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Height of the cone (h) = 1 m
Let l be the slant height of a cone.
∴ l = √h2 + r2
⇒ l = √12 + 0.22
⇒ l = √1.04
⇒ l = 1.02 m
Rate of painting = ₹12 per m2
Curved surface of 1 cone = πrl m2
= (3.14 × 0.2 × 1.02) m2
= 0.64056 m2
Curved surface of such 50 cones = (50 × 0.64056) m2 = 32.028 m2
Cost of painting all these cones = ₹(32.028 × 12) = ₹384.34

Exercise 13.6
1. The circumference of the base of a cylindrical vessel is 132 cm and its height is 25 cm. How many litres of water can it hold? (1000 cm 3 = 1l)
Answer
Let the base radius of the cylindrical vessel be ‘r’ cm.
∴ Circumference = 2πr
⇒ 2πr = 132 [∵ Circumference = 132 cm]
⇒ 2× 22/7 × r = 132 cm
R=(132×7)/(2×22) cm = 21 cm
∵ Height of the vessel = 25 cm
∴ Volume = πr2 x h [∵ Volume of a cylinder = πr2h]
= (22/7) (21)2 × 25 cm3
= (22/7) × 21 × 21 × 25 cm3
= 22 × 3 × 21 × 25 cm3
= 34650 cm3
∵ Capacity of the vessel = Volume of the vessel
∴ Capacity of cylindrical vessel = 34650 cm3
Since 1000 cm3 = 1 litre
⇒ 34650 cm3 = (34650/1000) litres = 34.65 l
2. The inner diameter of a cylindrical wooden pipe is 24 cm and its outer diameter is 28 cm. The length of the pipe is 35 cm. Find the mass of the pipe, if 1 cm3 of wood has a mass of 0.6 g.
Answer
Here, Inner diameter of the cylindrical pipe = 24 cm
⇒ Inner radius of the pipe (r) = (24/2) cm = 12 cm
Outer diameter of the pipe = 28 cm
⇒ Outer radius of the pipe (R) = (28/2)cm = 14 cm
Length of the pipe (h) = 35 cm
∵ Inner volume of the pipe = πr2h
Outer volume of the pipe = πr2h
∴ Amount of wood (volume) in the pipe = Outer volume – Inner volume
= πR2h – πr2h
= πh(R2-r2)
= πh(R+r)(R-r) [ ∵ a2 – b2 = (a+b)(a-b)]
= 22/7 x 35 x (14+12) x (14-12) cm3
= 22 x 5 x 26 x 2 cm3
Mass of the wood in the pipe = [Mass of wood in 1 m3 of wood] x [Volume of wood in the pipe]
= [0.6g] x [22 x 5 x 26 x 2] cm3
= (6/10)x 22 x 10 x 26 g = 6 x 22 x 26 g
= 3432 g = (3432/1000)= 3.432 kg [∵ 1000 g = 1 kg]
Thus, the required mass of the pipe is 3.432 kg.
3. A soft drink is available in two packs (i) a tin can with a rectangular base of length 5 cm and width 4 cm, having a height of 15 cm and (ii) a plastic cylinder with circular base of diameter 7 cm and height 10 cm. Which container has greater capacity and by how much?
Answer
For rectangular pack: Length (l) = 5 cm
Breadth (b) = 4 cm Height (h) = 15 cm
∴ Volume = l x b x h = 5 x 4 x 15 cm3
= 300 cm3
⇒ Capacity of the rectangular pack = 300 cm3 …(1)
For cylindrical pack: Base diameter = 7 cm
⇒ Radius of the base (r) = (7/2)cm
Height (h) = 10 cm
∴ Volume = πr2h = (22/7) x (7/2)2 x 10 cm3
= (22/7) x (7/2) x (7/2) x 10 cm3
= 11 x 7 x 5 cm3 = 385 cm3
⇒ Volume of the cylindrical pack = 385 cm3 …(2)
From (1) and (2),
we have 385 cm3 – 300 cm3 = 85 cm3
⇒ The cylindrical pack has the greater capacity by 85 cm3.
4. If the lateral surface of a cylinder is 94.2 cm2 and its height is 5 cm, then find: (i) radius of its base (ii) its volume. (Use π = 3.14)
Answer
(i) Since lateral surface of the cylinder = 2 πrh
But lateral surface of the cylinder = 94.2 cm2
2πrh = 94.2
2×3.14×r×5 =942/10
⇒{(10×314)/100} × r = 942/10
⇒ r=(942/10)×{100/(10×314)}cm
⇒ r =471/157 cm
Thus, the radius of the cylinder = 3 cm
(ii) Volume of a cylinder = πr2h
⇒ Volume of the given cylinder = 3.14 x (3)2 x 5 cm3
=314×100×3×3×5cm3
=(157×3×3)/10
= 1413/10 = 141.3 cm3
Thus, the required volume = 141.3 cm3

Answer
(i) To find inner curved surface
Total cost of painting = ₹ 2200
Rate of painting = ₹ 20 per m2
∴ Area =cost/rate = 2200/20 = 110 m2
⇒ Inner curved surface of the vessel = 110 m2
(ii) To find radius of the base Let the base radius of the cylindrical vessel.
∵ Curved surface of a cylinder = 2 πrh
∴ 2πrh = 110
⇒ 2× 22/7 ×r×10 = 110 [∵Height=10 m ]
⇒ r= (110×7)/(2×22×10)m = 7/4 m
= 1.75 m
⇒ The required radius of the base = 1.75 m
(iii) To find the capacity of the vessel
Since, volume of a cylinder = πr2h
∴ Volume (capacity) of the vessel =22/7 × (7/2)2 × 10 m3
= 22/7 × 7/4 × 7/4 × 10 m3
= (11×7×5)/4 m3 = 385/4 m3 = 96.25 m3
Since, 1 m3 = 1000000 cm3 = 1000 l = 1 kl
∴ 96.5 m3 = 96.5 kl
Thus, the required volume = 96.25 kl
6. The capacity of closed cylindrical vessel of height 1 m is 15.4 litres. How many square metres of metal sheet would be needed to make it?
Answer
Capacity of the cylindrical vessel = 15.4 l
= 15.4×1000 cm3
⇒ Volume of the vessel = (15.4/1000)m3
Height of the vessel = 1m Let ‘r’ metres be the radius of the base of the vessel
∴ Volume = πr2h
⇒ πr2h= 15.4/1000
Thus, the required sheet = 0.4708 m2
7. A lead pencil consists of a cylinder of wood with a solid cylinder of graphite filled in the interior. The diameter of the pencil is 7 mm and the diameter of graphite is 1 mm. If the length of the pencil is 14 cm, find the volume of the wood and that of the graphite.
Answer
Since, 10 mm = 1cm
∴ 1 mm = (1/10) cm
For graphite cylinder
Thus, the required volume of the graphite = 0.11 cm3
For the pencil Diameter of the pencil = 7 mm = (7/10)cm
∴ Radius of the pencil (R) = (7/20) cm
Height of the pencil (h) = 14 cm
Volume of the pencil = πr2h
Volume of the wood Volume of the wood = [Volume of the pencil] – [Volume of the graphite]
= 5.39 cm3 – 0.11 cm3 = 5.28 cm3
Thus, the required volume of the wood is 5.28 cm3.

= [2(85 x 25)+ 2(110 x 25)+ 85×110] cm2 = (4250 + 5500 + 9350) cm2 = 19100 cm2
Cost of polishing of the outer surface of bookshelf
= 19100 x 20100 = ₹ 3820
Thickness of the plank = 5 cm
Internal height of bookshelf = (110 – 2 x 5) = 100 cm
Internal depth of bookshelf = (25 – 5) = 20 cm
Internal breadth of bookshelf = 85 – 2 x 5 = 75 cm
Hence, area of the internal surface of bookshelf
= 2(75 x 20)+ 2(100x 20)+ 75×100
= 3000 + 4000 + 7500 = 14500 cm2
So, cost of painting of internal surface of bookshelf
= 14500 x 10100 = ₹1450
Hence, total costing of polishing and painting = 3820 + 1450= ₹ 5270
Question 2.
The front compound wall of a house is decorated by wooden spheres of diameter 21 cm, placed on small supports as shown in figure. Eight such spheres are-used for this purpose, and are to be painted silver. Each support is a cylinder of radius 1.5 cm and height 7 cm and is to be painted black. Find the cost of paint required if silver paint costs 25 paise per cm2 and black paint costs 5 paise per cm2.
Solution:
It is obvious, we have to subtract the cost of the sphere that is resting on the supports while calculating the cost of silver paint.
Surface area to be silver paint
Question 3.
