Exercise 2.4


Miscellaneous Practice problems

 

1. A wheel of a car covers a distance of 3520 cm in 20 rotations. Find the radius of the wheel?

In 20 rotations the wheel of a car covers the distance = 3520 cm

In one rotation the wheel covers the distance = 3520 / 20 = 176 cm

Circumference ofthe circle 2πr = 176 

2 × 22/7 r = 176

r = 176×7 / 2×22 = 28 cm

The radius of the wheel = 28 cm

 

2. The cost of fencing a circular race course at the rate of ₹8 per metre is ₹2112. Find the diameter of the race course.

The distance cover on fencing for ₹ 8 = 1 metre

The distance cover on fencing for ₹ 2112 = 2112 / 8 m

                                                                  = 264 m

The circumference of the race course 2πr = 264 m

                                              2 × 22/7 r = 264

 r = 264×7 / 2×22 = 42 m

Diameter d = 2r = 2 × 4 = 84 m

The diameter of the race course = 84 m

 

3. A path 2 m long and 1 m broad is constructed around a rectangular ground of dimensions 120 m and 90 m respectively. Find the area of the path.


Inner area of the rectangular ground = 120 × 90 = 10800 m2

Outer area = (120 + 2×2) (90 + 2×1) m2

 = (120 + 4) (90 + 2) m2

 = 124 × 92 m2 = 11408 m2

The area of the path = Outer area – Inner area

 = (11408 – 10800) m2

The area of the Path = 608 m2

 

4. The cost of decorating the circumference of a circular lawn of a house at the rate of ₹55 per metre is ₹16940. What is the radius of the lawn?

The distance decorated for ₹ 55 = 1 metre 

The distance decorated for ₹ 16940 =16940 / 55 = 308 m

Circumference of the circle 2πr          = 308 m

                                      2 × 22/7 r = 308 m

                           r = 308×7 / 2×22 = 49 m

The radius of the lawn r = 49 m.

 

5. Four circles are drawn side by side in a line and enclosed by a rectangle as shown below. If the radius of each of the circles is 3 cm, then calculate:


(i) The area of the rectangle.

(ii) The area of each circle.

(iii) The shaded area inside the rectangle.

The radius of the circle = 3 cm

Length of the rectangle = 8 × radius

= 8 × 3 = 24 cm

Breath = 2 × radius

= 2 × 3 = 6 cm

i) The area of the rectangle = l × b

 = 24 × 6 = 144 cm2

ii) Radius of a circle r = 3 cm

Area = πr2

The area of each circle = 22/7 × 3 × 3 = 198/7 = 28.28 cm2

iii) Area of a circle = 28.28 cm2

Area of 4 circles = 4 × 28.28 cm2

 = 113.12 cm2

The shaded area inside the rectangle = Area ofthe rectangle – Area of 4 circles.

= (144 – 113.12) cm2

= 30.88 cm2

 

Challenge Problems

 

6. A circular path has to be constructed around a circular lawn. If the outer and inner circumferences of the path are 88 cm and 44 cm respectively, find the width and area of the path.

Outer circumference of the circle = 88 cm

2 πR = 88 cm

 R = [ 88 × 7 ] /  [ 2 × 22 ] = 14 cm

Inner circumference = 44 cm

2 πr = 88 cm

 R = 44×7 / 2×22 = 7 cm

The width of the path = R – r

 = 14 – 7 = 7 cm

The area of the path = π (R2 – r2)

 = 22/7 (142 – 72)

 = 22/7 (196 – 49)

  = 22/7 × 147 cm2

 = 462 cm2

The area of the path = 462 cm2

 

7. A cow is tethered with a rope of length 35 m at the centre of the rectangular field of length 76 m and breadth 60 m. Find the area of the land that the cow cannot graze?

The area of the rectangle = 76 × 60 m2

                                        = 4560 m2

The area of the land that cow can graze = Area of the circle of radius

                                                              r = 35 m

Area of the land that cow can graze = πr2

  = 22/7 × 35 × 35 m2

 = 3850 m2

The area of the land that cow can not graze = Area of the rectangle – Area of the land that cow can graze.

 = (4560 – 3850) m2

The area of the land that cow can not graze = 710 m2.

 

8. A path 5 m wide runs along the inside of the rectangular field. The length of the rectangular field is three times the breadth of the field. If the area of the path is 500 m2 then find the length and breadth of the field.

Length of outer rectangle = l m

Outer breadth = b m

Width of the path = 5 m

Length of inner rectangle = l – 2w = l – 10 m

Inner breadth = b – 2w = b – 10m

Area of the outer rectangle = l x b m2

Area ofthe inner rectangle = (l – 10) (b – 10) m2

 = (l b – 10 l –10 b + 100)m2


Area of the path = Area of the outer rectangle – Area of the inner rectangle

= (l b lb + 10l + 10b – 100 = 500

= 10 (l + b) = 500 + 100 = 600 m2

= l + b = 600 / 10 = 60

Length of the rectangle = 3 times its breadth.

l = 3b

l + b = 60

3b + b = 60

4b = 60

 b = 60 / 4 = 15 m

l = 3b = 3 × 15 = 45m

The length of the field = 45 m

Breadth = l5m

 

9. A circular path has to be constructed around a circular ground. If the areas of the outer and inner circles are 1386 m2 and 616 m2 respectively, find the width and area of the path.

Area of the outer circle = 1386 m2

πR2 = 1386

 R2 = 1386/22 × 7 = 9 × 7 × 7

 R = 3 × 7 = 21m

Area of the inner circle πr2 = 616

r2 = 616/22 × 7 = 4 × 7 × 7

 r = 2 × 7 = 14 m

Width of the circle w = R – r

 = 21 – 14 = 7 m

Area of the Path = Area ofthe outer circle – Area of the inner circle.

 = (1386– 616) m2

Area of the Pathe = 770 m2.

 

10. A goat is tethered with a rope of length 45 m at the centre of the circular grass land whose radius is 52 m. Find the area of the grass land that the goat cannot graze.

Radius ofthe circular grass land r = 52 m

Area of the grass land = ( 22/7)  × 52 × 52 m2

Area of the grass land = 59488 / 7 = 8498.3 m2

The length ofthe tethered rope = radius r = 45 m

Area of the grass land that the goat can graze πr2 = 22/7 × 45 × 45m2

= 44550 / 7 = 6364.3 m2

Area of th grass land that the goat can not graze = Area of the circle – Area of the grass land that the goat can graze.

= (8498.3 – 6364.3)m2

= 2134 m2

The area ofthe grass land that the goat cannot graze. = 2134m2

 

11. A strip of 4 cm wide is cut and removed from all the sides of the rectangular cardboard with dimensions 30 cm × 20 cm . Find the area of the removed portion and area of the remaining cardboard.

Area of the rectangular cardboard = 30 × 20 cm2

                                                 = 600 cm2

Width of the cutting portion w = 4 cm

Area ofthe inner rectanglre = (30 – 8) (20 – 8) cm2

                                        = 22 × 12 cm2

Area of the cutting portion = 264 cm2

Area of the removed portion = Area of the rectangle – Area of the cutting portion.

 = (600 – 264) cm2

 = 336 cm2

Area of the cutting portion = 264 cm2

Area of the removed portion = 336 cm2

 

12. A rectangular field is of dimension 20 m × 15 m . Two paths run parallel to the sides of the rectangle through the centre of the field. The width of the longer path is 2 m and that of the shorter path is 1 m. Find (i) the area of the paths (ii) the area of the remaining portion of the field (iii) the cost of constructing the roads at the rate of ₹10 per sq.m.

Area of the longer path = 20 × 2 = 40 m2

Area of the shorter path = 15 × 1 = 15 m2

Area of the centre rectangle = 2 × 1 = 2 m2

Area of the path = (40 + 15 – 2) m2

                          = 53 m2


i) Area of the pathe = 53 m2

Area of the field = 20 × 15= 300m2

ii) Area of the remaining portion = Area of the field – Area of the path.

 = (300 – 53) m2 = 247 m2

iii) The cost of constructing the road of 1 sq.m = ₹ 10

The cost of constructing the road for 53 sq.m = ₹ 53 × 10

 = ₹ 530

The cost of constructing the road = ₹ 530.
