A plastic box 1.5 m long, 1.25 m wide and 65 cm deep is to be made. It is to be open 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
(i) Box is to be open at top (Pink color in the above diagram shows that the box is open)
Method 1:
Lateral Surface Area = Area of the four sides of the cuboid (Area of four rectangles on the sides) = 2 (length x height) + 2(width x height)
Area of sheet required = lateral Surface Area + Area of the base = 2 l h + 2 b h + l b
= [2 × 1.5 × 0.65 + 2 × 1.25 × 0.65 + 1.5 × 1.25] m2
= (1.95 + 1.625 + 1.875) m2
= 5.45 m2
(ii) Cost of sheet per m2 area = Rs 20
Cost of sheet of 5.45 m2 area = Rs (5.45 × 20)
= Rs 109
Method 2:
(i) Area of Sheet Required = Total Surface Area - Area of top
Area of Sheet Required = 2(lb + bh + hl) - lb
Area of sheet Required = 2 × 1.5 × 0.65 + 2 × 1.25 × 0.65 + 2 × 1.5 × 1.25 - 1.5 × 1.25
Area of Sheet Required = 5.45 m2
(ii) Cost of sheet per m2 area = Rs 20
Cost of sheet of 5.45 m2 area = Rs (5.45 × 20)
= Rs 109
Hence, the cost of sheet is Rs. 109.
The length, breadth and height of a room are 5 m, 4 m and 3 m respectively. Find the cost of white washing the walls of the room and the ceiling at the rate of Rs 7.50 per m2.
Given: Length = 5m, Breadth = 4m, and Height = 3m
Diagram:
It can be observed that four walls and the ceiling of the room are to be whitewashed.
The floor of the room is not to be white-washed
The area to be white-washed = Area of walls + Area of the ceiling of the room
= 2lh + 2bh + lb
= [2 × 5 × 3 + 2 × 4 × 3 + 5 × 4] m2
= (30 + 24 + 20) m2
= 74 m2
Cost of white-washing per m2 area = Rs 7.50
Cost of white-washing 74 m2 area = Rs (74 × 7.50)
= Rs 555
The floor of a rectangular hall has a perimeter 250 m. If the cost of painting the four walls at the rate of Rs 10 per m2 is Rs 15000, find the height of the hall.
[Hint: Area of the four walls = Lateral surface area]
Given: Perimeter of the floor of hall = 250 m, Cost of painting the four walls = Rs. 15, 000
To Find: Height of the hall
Let length, breadth, and height of the rectangular hall be l m, b m, and h m respectively.
Area of four walls = 2lh + 2bh = 2(l + b) h
Perimeter of the floor of hall = 2(l + b)
Perimeter of the floor of hall = 250 m
Therefore, 2(l + b) = 250 m
Putting this value in the formula of Area of four walls we get,
Area of four walls = 2(l + b) h
Area of four walls = 250h m2
Cost of painting per m2 area = Rs 10
Cost of painting 250h m2 area = Rs (250h × 10)
= Rs 2500h
However, it is given that the cost of painting the walls is Rs 15000
15000 = 2500h
Therefore, the height of the hall is 6 m
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?
Given:
The dimensions of the brick are:
l = 22.5 cm
b = 10 cm
h = 7.5 cm
Total surface area of one brick = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= [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
Area that can be painted by the paint of the container = 9.375 m2
As 1 m2 = 10000 cm2
= 93750 cm2
= 100
Therefore, 100 bricks can be painted out by the paint of the container.
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?
(i) Edge of cube = 10 cm
Length (l) of box = 12.5 cm
Breadth (b) of box = 10 cm
Height (h) of box = 8 cm
Lateral surface area (Cubical box) = 4(edge)2
= 4(10 cm)2
= 400 cm2
Lateral surface area (Cuboidal box) = 2[lh + bh]
= [2(12.5 × 8 + 10 × 8)] cm2
= (2 × 180) cm2
= 360 cm2
Clearly, the lateral surface area of the cubical box is greater than the lateral surface area of the cuboidal box
Lateral surface area of cubical box − Lateral surface area of cuboidal box = 400 cm2 − 360 cm2 = 40 cm2
Therefore, the lateral surface area of the cubical box is greater than the lateral surface area of the cuboidal box by 40 cm2
(ii) Total surface area of cubical box = 6(edge)2
= 6(10 cm)2
= 600 cm2
Total surface area of cuboidal box = 2[lh + bh + lb]
= [2(12.5 × 8 + 10 × 8 + 12.5 × 10] cm2
= 610 cm2
Clearly, the total surface area of the cubical box is smaller than that of the cuboidal box
Total surface area of cuboidal box − Total surface area of cubical box = 610 cm2 – 600 cm2
= 10 cm2
Therefore, the total surface area of the cubical box is smaller than that of the cuboidal box by 10 cm2
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?
(i) Length (l) of green house = 30 cm
Breadth (b) of green house = 25 cm
Height (h) of green house = 25 cm
Total surface area of green house
= 2[lb + lh + bh]
= [2(30 × 25 + 30 × 25 + 25 × 25)] cm2
= [2(750 + 750 + 625)] cm2
= (2 × 2125) cm2
= 4250 cm2
Therefore, the area of glass is 4250 cm2
(ii) It can be observed that tape is required alongside AB, BC, CD, DA, EF, FG, GH, HE, AH, BE, DG, and CF
Total length of tape = 4(l + b + h)
= [4(30 + 25 + 25)] cm
= 320 cm
Therefore, 320 cm tape is required for all the 12 edges
Shanti Sweets Stall was placing an order for making cardboard boxes for packing their sweets. Two sizes of boxes were required. The bigger of dimensions25 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 Rs 4 for 1000 cm2, find the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind
We know total surface area of cuboid = 2(lb + lh + bh)
For bigger box
Length of bigger box = 25 cm
Breadth of bigger box = 20 cm
Height of bigger box = 5 cm
Total surface area of bigger box = 2(lb + lh + bh)
= [2(25 × 20 + 25 × 5 + 20 × 5)] cm2
= [2(500 + 125 + 100)] cm2
= 1450 cm2
Extra area required for overlapping = 5% of the total surface area of bigger box
Extra area required for overlapping = cm2
= 72.5 cm2
While considering all overlaps, total surface area of 1 bigger box = (1450 + 72.5) cm2
=1522.5 cm2
Area of cardboard sheet required for 250 such bigger boxes = (1522.5 × 250) cm2
= 380625 cm2
Similarly, total surface area of smaller box
= [2(15 ×12 + 15 × 5 + 12 × 5] cm2
= [2(180 + 75 + 60)] cm2
= (2 × 315) cm2
= 630 cm2
Therefore, extra area required for overlapping = 5% of the total surface area of smaller box
Therefore, extra area required for overlapping = cm2
= 31.5 cm2
Total surface area of 1 smaller box while considering all overlaps = (630 + 31.5) cm2
= 661.5 cm2
Area of cardboard sheet required for 250 smaller boxes = (250 × 661.5) cm2
= 165375 cm2
Total cardboard sheet required
= (380625 + 165375) cm2
= 546000 cm2
Cost of 1000 cm2 cardboard sheet = Rs 4
Cost of 546000 cm2 cardboard sheet
=
= Rs 2184
Therefore, the cost of cardboard sheet required for 250 such boxes of each kind will be Rs 2184
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 4 m × 3 m?
Length (l) of shelter = 4 m
Breadth (b) of shelter = 3 m
Height (h) of shelter = 2.5 m
Tarpaulin will be required for the top and four wall sides of the shelter
Now the area of tarpaulin = Area of four sides + Area of the top
Area of Tarpaulin required = 2(lh + bh) + l b
= [2(4 × 2.5 + 3 × 2.5) + 4 × 3] m2
= [2(10 + 7.5) + 12] m2
= 47 m2
Therefore, 47 m2 Tarpaulin will be required.
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.
Given: Height (h) of cylinder = 14 cm, Curved surface area of cylinder = 88 cm2
To Find: Diameter of the cylinder
Let the diameter of the cylinder be "d".
Formula used: Curved Surface Area of Cylinder = 2πrh
where, r = radius of the base of the cylinder and h = height of the cylinder
2πrh = 88 cm2 (r is the radius of the base of the cylinder)
[ Now, we know that 2 times radius = diameter, 2r = d]πdh = 88 cm2
22/7 × d × 14 cm = 88 cm2
d = 2cm
Therefore, the diameter of the base of the cylinder is 2 cm.

= 2 π r1 h + 2 π r2 h + 2 π (r22 – r12)
= [968 + 1064.8 + 2π {(2.2)2 - (2)2}] cm2
= (2032.8 + 2 x x 0.84) cm2
= (2032.8 + 5.28) cm2
= 2038.08 cm2
Therefore, the total surface area of the cylindrical pipe is 2038.08 cm2

= 120 cm
Radius (r) of the circular end of roller = = 42 cm
Curved Surface Area (CSA) of roller = 2πrh
= 2 * * 42 * 120 cm2
= 31680 cm2
Area of field = 500 × CSA of roller
= (500 × 31680) cm2
= 15840000 cm2
= 1584 m2 (∵ 1 m2 = 10000 cm2)
A cylindrical pillar is 50 cm in diameter and 3.5 m in height. Find the cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of Rs 12.50 per m2
Given:
Height (h) cylindrical pillar = 3.5 m

CSA of pillar = 2πrh
= 2 x x 0.25 x 3.5 m2
= (44 x 0.125) m2
= 5.5 m2
Cost of painting 1 m2 area = Rs 12.50
Cost of painting 5.5 m2 area = Rs (5.5 × 12.50)
= Rs 68.75
Therefore, the cost of painting the CSA of the pillar is Rs 68.75
Curved surface area of a right circular cylinder is 4.4 m2. If the radius of the base of the cylinder is 0.7 m, find its height
To Find: Height of the cylinder
Given: Curved surface area of cylinder = 4.4 m2 and radius of cylinder = 0.7 m
Concept Used:
Curved Surface Area of cylinder = 2πrh
where, r = radius of base of cylinder and h = height of cylinder
Explanation:
Let the height of the circular cylinder be h
2πrh = 4.4 m2
(2 × 22/7 × 0.7 × h) m2 = 4.4 m2
4.4 h = 4.4 m2h = 1 m
Therefore, the height of the cylinder is 1 m
The inner diameter of a circular well is 3.5 m. It is 10 m deep. Find
(i) Its inner curved surface area,
(ii) The cost of plastering this curved surface at the rate of Rs 40 per m2
Inner diameter of the circular well = 3.5 m
Inner radius (r) of circular well = Diameter/ 2= m
= 1.75 m
Depth (h) of circular well = 10 m
(i) Inner curved surface area = 2πrh
= 2 x x 1.75 x 10 m2
= (44 × 0.25 × 10) m2
= 110 m2
Therefore, the inner curved surface area of the circular well is 110 m2.
(ii) Cost of plastering 1 m2 area = Rs 40
Cost of plastering 110 m2 area = Rs (110 × 40)
= Rs 4400
Therefore, the cost of plastering the CSA of this well is Rs 4400.

(i) Lateral or curved surface area of tank = 2πrh
= 2 × × 2.1 × 4.5
= (44 × 0.3 × 4.5) m2
= 59.4 m2
Therefore, the CSA of the tank is 59.4 m2.
(ii) Total surface area of tank = 2πr (r + h)
= 2 × × 2.1 × (2.1 + 4.5) m2
= (44 × 0.3 × 6.6) m2
= 87.12 m2
Let x m2 steel sheet be actually used in making the tank
x (1 - ) = 87.12 m2
x = ( × 87.12) m2
x = 95.04 m2
Therefore, 95.04 m2 steel was used in making such a tank.
In Fig. 13.12, you see the frame of a lampshade. It is to be covered with a decorative cloth. The frame has a base diameter of 20 cm and height of 30 cm. A margin of 2.5 cm is to be given for folding it over the top and bottom of the frame. Find how much cloth is required for covering the lampshade
Height (h) of the frame of lampshade = (2.5 + 30 + 2.5) cm = 35 cm

= 2 x x 10 x 35 cm2
= 2200 cm2
Hence, 2200 cm2 cloth will be required for covering the lampshade.

= πrl + πr2
= [308 + × (7)2] cm2
= (308 + 154) cm2
= 462 cm2
Therefore, the total surface area of the cone is 462 cm2
A conical tent is 10 m high and the radius of its base is 24 m. Find

= (10 m)2 + (24 m)2
= 676 m2
l = 26 m
(ii) CSA of tent =

Cost of 1 m2 canvas = Rs 70
So, cost of m2 canvas = ( m2 * 70)
= Rs 137280
What length of tarpaulin 3 m wide will be required to make conical tent of height 8 m and base radius 6 m? Assume that the extra length of material that will be required for stitching margins and wastage in cutting is approximately 20 cm (Use π = 3.14)
To Find: Length of Tarpaulin
Concept Used:
Curved Surface Area of Cone = πrl
Diagram:
Height (h) = 8m
Radius (r) = 6m
Now, we know that,
According to Pythagoras theorem, l2 = r2 + h2
⇒ l2 = 62 + 82
⇒ l2 = (62 + 82)
⇒ l2 = 36 + 64
⇒ l2 = 100
⇒ l = √100 = 10 m
Therefore, slant height of the conical tent = 10 m.
CSA of conical tent = πrl
= π × 6m × 10m
= 3.14 × 6m × 10m
= 188.4 m2
Now, Let the length of tarpaulin sheet required be "x" m
As 20 cm will be wasted, therefore, the effective length will be = (x − 20 cm) = (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
Therefore, the length of the required tarpaulin sheet will be 63 m.

Height (h) = 1 m
Slant height (l) =
=
= 1.02 m
Curved Surface Area =
= (3.14 × 0.2×1.02) m2
= 0.64056 m2
CSA (50 cones) = 0.64056 * 50
= 32.028 m2
Cost of painting 1 m2 area = Rs 12
Cost of painting 32.028 m2 area = Rs (32.028 × 12)
= Rs 384.336
= Rs 384.34 (approximately)
Therefore, it will cost Rs 384.34 in painting 50 such hollow cones.

Each support is a cylinder of radius 1.5 cm and height7 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
Radius (r) of wooden sphere = () = 10.5 cm
Surface area = 4 πr2
= 4 * * 10.5 * 10.5
= 1386 cm2
Radius of circular end (r1) = 1.5 cm
Height (h) = 7 cm
CSA = 2 πrh
= 2 * * 1.5 * 7
= 66 cm2
Area of the circular end of cylindrical support = πr2
= * 1.5 * 1.5
= 7.07 cm2
Area to be painted silver = [8 × (1386 − 7.07)]
= (8 × 1378.93)
= 11031.44 cm2
Cost of painting silver color = Rs (11031.44 × 0.25) = Rs 2757.86
Area to be painted black = (8 × 66)
= 528 cm2
Cost for painting with black color = Rs (528 × 0.05) = Rs 26.40
Total cost in painting = Rs (2757.86 + 26.40)
= Rs 2784.26
The diameter of a sphere is decreased by 25%. By what per cent does it’s curved surface area decrease?
Let the diameter be d
Radius (r1) =
New radius (r2) = (1 - )
= d
CSA (S1) = 4r12
= 4π ()2
= πd2
CSA (S2) = 4πr22
= 4π ()2
= d2
Decrease in surface area = S1 – S2
= πd2 - d2
= πd2
Now,
Percentage decrease = * 100
= * 100
=
= 43.75 %
