Exercise 13
Question 1.

The circumference of a circle exceeds its diameter by 16.8 cm. Find the circumference of the circle.


Answer:

We know that, circumference of a circle, C = 2πr


and diameter, D = 2r


According to the question,


C = D + 16.8


⇒ 2πr = 2r + 16.8


⇒ 2πr – 2r = 16.8


⇒ 2r(π – 1)= 16.8




⇒ 15r = 8.4 × 7


⇒ r = 3.92 cm


∴ Circumference of circle = 2πr



=24.64cm



Question 2.

A sector is cut from a circle of radius 42cm. The central angle of the sector is 150°. Find the length of the arc.


Answer:


Given: Radius of a circle, r = 42cm


Central Angle of the sector, θ = 150°


To find: Length of the arc i.e. AB


Now,


Length of an arc of a sector of angle θ


⇒ Length of an arc of a sector of angle θ



⇒ Length of an arc of a sector of angle θ


⇒ Length of an arc of a sector of angle θ = 5×22 =110 cm



Question 3.

A pendulum swings through an angle 60° and describes an arc 8.8 cm in length. Find the length of the pendulum


Answer:


Given: Length of the arc = 8.8 cm


Central Angle of the sector, θ = 60°


To find: Radius of a circle


Now,







⇒ r = 8.4cm



Question 4.

A wire made of silver is looped in the form of circular ear ring of radius 5.6 cm. It is rebent into a square form. Determine the length of the side of the square.


Answer:

Given: Radius of the circle = 5.6cm


So, the circumference of the circle = 2πr



= 35.2cm


Now,


The perimeter of square = Circumference of a circle


= 35.2cm


Therefore,


Side of a square



= 8.8cm


Hence, the side of a square = 8.8cm



Question 5.

An arc of a circle of radius 42cm has a length 35.2 cm. Find the angle subtended by the arc at the centre of the circle.


Answer:


Given: Length of the arc = 35.2 cm


Radius of a circle, r = 42cm


To find: Central Angle of the sector


Now,


Length of an arc of a sector of angle θ






⇒ θ = 48°


Hence, the angle subtended by the arc at the centre of the circle is 48°



Question 6.

A car has wheels which are 80 cm in diameter. How many complete revolutions does each wheel make in 10 minutes when the car is moving at a speed of 80 km per hour?


Answer:


Diameter of a car wheel = 80cm


∴ radius =


Distance covered in 1 revolution = Circumference of wheel


= 2πr


= 2 × π × 40


= 80π cm


Now, we find total distance covered


We know that,



Here, Speed = 80 km/hr


Time = 10 minutes



Putting a value in the formula, we get




⇒ Distance = 13.33 km


= 13.33 × 1000 m


= 1333.3 m


= 1333.3 × 100 cm


= 1333333.3 cm


Now,





= 5303.02


= 5303 (approx.)


Hence, number of revolutions = 5303



Question 7.

Rajeev walks around a circular park of area 88704 sq. m How long will he take to walk 10 rounds at the speed of 4.5 km per hour?


Answer:

Area of circular park = 88704 m2


and Area of circle = πr2 = 88704




⇒ r2 = 28224


⇒ r = √28224


⇒ r = 168m


[taking positive root, because radius can’t be negative]


Perimeter of circle = 2πr



= 1056 m


= 1.056 km


So, total distance after 10 rounds = 1.056 × 10 = 10.56km


Now, we know that



Here, Speed = 4.5 km/hr


Distance = 10.56 km


Putting value in formula, we get




= 2.34 hour


= 2 hours 20 minutes 24 seconds


Hence, Rajeev will take 2 hours 20 minutes and 24 seconds to walk 10 rounds.



Question 8.

The diameter of the wheels of a bus is 140cm. How many revolutions per minute must a wheel make to move at a speed of 66km per hour?


Answer:


Diameter of a bus wheel = 140cm


∴ radius =


Distance covered in 1 revolution = Circumference of wheel


= 2πr


= 2 × π × 70


= 140π cm


Now, we find total distance covered


We know that,



Here, Speed = 66 km/hr


Time = 1 minutes



Putting a value in the formula, we get




⇒ Distance = 1.1 km


= 1.1 × 1000 m


= 1100 m


= 1100 × 100 cm


= 110000 cm


Now,





Number of revolutions = 250



Question 9.

Find the area of the sector of a circle with radius 4cm and angle 30°. Also, find the area of the corresponding major sector [use π=3.14].


Answer:


Given: Radius of circle = 4cm


And Central angle, θ = 30°


To find: Area of the sector


Now, Area of the sector of angle θ


⇒ Area of the sector of angle θ [∵ π = 3.14]


⇒ Area of the sector of angle θ



=4.19cm2


Now, we have to find the area of major sector (unshaded region)


= Area of circle – Area of sector OAPBO


= πr2 – 4.19


= {3.14 × (4)2} – 4.19


= {3.14 × 16} – 4.19


= 50.24 – 4.19


= 46.05 cm2


Hence, the area of sector = 4.19cm2 and area of the major sector = 46.05cm2



Question 10.

Find the area of a quadrant of a circle whose circumference is 22 cm.


Answer:

Given: Circumference of a circle = 22cm


⇒ 2πr = 22



⇒ 2r = 7



Now, we have to find the area of Quadrant





= 9.625cm2



Question 11.

The minute hand of a clock is 12cm long. Find the area of the face of the clock described by the minute hand in 35 minutes.


Answer:

Given: Length of minute hand = 12cm


Let us look at a clock:



So, minute hand covers a total of 60 minutes in one round of the clock.


So, 60 minutes = 360˚


1 minute


35 minutes = (35 × 6)˚ = 210˚


So in 35 minutes, minute hand subtends an angle of 210˚.


Now Area of segment


Where θ is the angle subtended.


Therefore, the area covered by minute hand


The radius of the circle = Length of the minute hand = 12cm


The area covered by minute hand


The area covered by minute hand = (22 × 12) cm2


Area = 264 cm2


Hence, The area covered by minute hand in 35 minutes is 264cm2.



Question 12.

The perimeter of a sector of a circle of radius 5.6 cm is 27.2 cm. Find the area of the sector.


Answer:


Let OAB be a the given sector with perimeter 27.2cm


Let arc AB = l


Perimeter of sector OAB = 27.2cm


⇒ OA + AB + OB = 27.2


⇒ 5.6 + l + 5.6 = 27.2


⇒ l = 27.2 – 11.2


⇒ l = 16cm


Now, we know that




…(i)


Area of sector OAB


[from (i)]


= 8r


= 8 × 5.6


= 44.8cm2



Question 13.

A chord of a circle of radius 14cm makes a right angle at the centre. Find the areas of the minor and the major segments of the circle.


Answer:


Given: Radius of circle = 14cm


and ∠AOB = 90°





=154cm2


and Area of major sector = Area of circle - Area of minor sector


= πr2 - 154



= 22 × 2 ×14 – 154


= 462cm2



Question 14.

The area of a circle is 78.5 sq.cm. Calculate the circumference of the circle [Taken π=3.14].


Answer:

Given: Area of circle = 78.5cm2


πr2 = 78.5


⇒ 3.14 r2 = 78.5



⇒ r2 = 25


⇒ r = ± 5


⇒ r = 5cm


[taking positive root, because radius can’t be negative]


Now, circumference of circle = 2πr


= 2 × 3.14 × 5


= 31.4cm



Question 15.

Find the area of the shaded region in the given figure if radii of the two concentric circles with centre O are 7cm and 14 cm respectively and ∠AOC=40°.



Answer:

Given: Radius of the small circle, OB = 7cm


Radius of second circle, OA = 14cm


and ∠AOC=40°





= 17.11 cm2





= 68.4 cm2


Area of the shaded region = Area of sector OAC


– Area of sector OBD


= 68.4 – 17.1


= 51.3 cm2



Question 16.

A circular park, 42m is a diameter, has a path 3.5 wide running round it on the outside. Find the cost of gravelling the path at Rs. 4 per m2


Answer:


The diameter of a circular park = 42m


⇒ the radius of a circular park,


Width of path = 3.5m


⇒ radius of the park with path, R = 21 + 3.5 = 24.5m


∴ Area of path = Area of outer circle – Area of the inner circle


= πR2 – πr2


= π (R2 – r2)


= π (R – r)(R + r)




= 22 × 0.5 × 45.5


= 500.5 m2


Now, the cost of gravelling the path of 1m2 = Rs 4


the cost of gravelling the path of 500.5m2 = Rs 4×500.5


= Rs 2002



Question 17.

The diameter of a circular pond is 17.5m. It is surrounded by a path of width 3.5 m. Find the area of the path.


Answer:


The diameter of a circular park = 17.5m


⇒ the radius of a circular park,


Width of path = 3.5m


⇒ radius of the park with path,


∴ Area of path = Area of outer circle – Area of inner circle


= πR2 – πr2


= π (R2 – r2)


= π (R – r)(R + r)





= 231 m2



Question 18.

The area enclosed between two concentric circles is 770 cm2. If the radius of the outer circle is 21 cm, find the radius of the inner circle.


Answer:


Given: Let the radius of the inner circle = r


Area enclosed between two concentric circles = 770cm2


and Radius of the outer circle, R = 21cm


∴ The area enclosed between two concentric circles


= Area of the Outer circle – Area of the inner circle


770 = πR2 – πr2


770 = π(212 – r2)




245 = 441 – r2


⇒ r2 = 441 – 245


⇒ r2 = 196


⇒ r = √196


⇒ r = ±14


⇒ r = 14cm [taking positive square root, because radius can’t be negative]


Hence, the radius of the inner circle is 14cm.



Question 19.

The difference between circumference and diameter of circular plot is 105m. Find the area of the circular plot.


Answer:

Given: Difference between circumference and diameter of circular plot = 105m


We know that,


The circumference of a circle = 2πr


and diameter of circle = 2r


According to the question


2πr – 2r = 105


⇒ 2r(π – 1) = 105



Now, Area of circular path = πr2







= 1886.5m2



Question 20.

The cost of fencing a circular field at the rate of Rs. 24 per metre is Rs. 5280. The field is to be ploughed at the rate of Rs. 0.50 per m2. Find the cost of ploughing the field


Answer:

Total cost of fencing a circular field = Rs 5280


Cost of fencing per meter = Rs 24


So,




= 220m


Here, the total length of the field would be the circumference of the circular field.


∴ Total length = Circumference of circular field


⇒ 220 = 2πr




Now, Area of the field = πr2




= 3850m2


Now,


Cost of ploughing 1m2 of the field = Rs 0.50


Cost of ploughing 3850m2 of the field = Rs 0.50 × 3850


= Rs 1925


Hence, the cost of ploughing the field is Rs 1925



Question 21.

A field is in the form of a circle. The cost of ploughing the field at Rs. 1.50 per m2 is Rs. 5775. Find the cost of fencing the field at Rs. 8.50 per metre.


Answer:

Cost of ploughing 1m2 of the field = Rs1.50


The total cost of ploughing the field = Rs 5775


So,




=3850m2


Given: A field is in the form of a circle.


Let the radius of the field = r


∴ Area of the field = πr2


⇒ 3850 = πr2




⇒ r2 = 1225


⇒ r = √1225


⇒ r = √(5×5×7×7)


⇒ r = 35m


Now,


Circumference = 2πr



= 2 × 22 × 5


= 220 m


Cost of fencing 1m of the field = Rs 8.50


Cost of fencing 220 of the field = Rs 8.50 × 220


= Rs 1870



Question 22.

A chord of a circle of radius 10cm subtends a right angle at the centre. Use π=3.14 and find:

(i) area of the minor sector

(ii)area of the major sector


Answer:


Given: Radius of the circle = OA = OB = 10 cm


and θ = 90°


(i) Area of the minor sector


"Area of minor sector "




= 3.14 × 25


= 78.5cm2



(ii) Area of major sector


Area of major sector = Area of circle - Area of minor sector = πr2 – 78.5


= 3.14 × (10)2 – 78.5


= 314 – 78.5


= 235.5 cm2



Question 23.

In a circle of radius 21 cm, and arc subtends an angle of 60° at the centre. Find

(i) length of arc

(ii) area of the sector formed by the arc

(iii) area of the segment formed by the corresponding chord of the arc.


Answer:


Given: Radius of the circle = OA =OB = 21cm


and θ = 60°


(i) Length of the arc





= 22cm


(ii) Area of the sector formed by this arc





= 11 × 21


= 231 cm2


(iii) area of the segment formed by the corresponding chord of the arc



In ΔOAB,


∠OAB = ∠OBA (As OA = OB)


∠OAB + ∠AOB + ∠OBA = 180°


2∠OAB + 60° = 180°


∠OAB = 60°


∴ ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle.





Area of segment APB = Area of sector OAPB − Area of ΔOAB




Question 24.

A chord of a circle of radius 12cm subtends an angle of 120° at the centre. Find the area of the corresponding segment of the circle [Use π=3.14,√3=1.73]


Answer:


Given: Radius of the circle = OA = OB = 12cm


and θ = 120°


To find: Area of the corresponding segment of the circle


i.e. Area of segment APB = Area of sector OAPB – Area of ΔAOB


So, firstly we find the Area of sector OAPB





= 150.72cm2


Now, we have to find the area of ΔAOB


We draw OM ⊥ AB


∴∠OMB = ∠OMA = 90°


In ΔOMA and ΔOMB


∠OMA = ∠OMB [both 90°]


OA = OB [both radius]


OM = OM [common]


∴ OMA ≅ ΔOMB [by RHS congruency]


⇒ ∠AOM = ∠BOM [CPCT]




∴In right triangle OMA, we have




⇒ AM = 6√3 cm


⇒ 2AM =12√3 cm


⇒ AB =12√3 cm


and




⇒ OM = 6cm




= 36√3


= 36 × 1.73


= 62.28 cm2


Area of segment APB = Area of sector OAPB – Area of ΔAOB


= (150.72 – 62.28)


= 88.44 cm2



Question 25.

A brooch is made with silver wire in the form of a circle with diameter 35mm. The wire is also used in making 5 diameters which divide the circle into 10 equal sectors as shown in the figure. Find:

(i) the total length of the silver wire required.

(ii) the area of each sector of the brooch



Answer:

Here, brooch is made up of silver wire in the form of a circle.


The diameter of the brooch = 35mm


"⇒ The radius of the brooch, r"


Since the wire is used in making 5 diameters and circle


So,


The total length of the silver wire required = length of wire in circle


+ wire used in 5 diameters


= 2πr + 5 × 2r


= 2r(π + 5)




= 5×57


= 285 mm


Now, Area of each sector of the brooch





∴Area of each sector=



Question 26.

A horse is tied to a pole at one corner of a square grass field of side 15 m using 10 m long rope. Find

(i) the area of that part of the field in which the horse can graze.

(ii) the decrease in the grazing area if the rope was 5 m long instead of 10m. [Use π=3.14]


Answer:


(i)


Let ABCD be square field


and length of rope, r = 10m


We need to find the area of the field which horse can graze, i.e. the area of sector QBP


As we know that in a square all angles are of 90°


Hence, ∠QBP = 90°





= 78.5 m2


Hence, the area of the field which horse can graze = 78.5 m2


(ii) the decrease in the grazing area if the rope was 5 m long instead of 10m



Length of rope is decreased to 5m


Area grazed by a horse now = Area of sector HBG





= 19.625 m2


So, the decrease in the grazing area


= Area of sector QBP – Area of sector HBG


= 78.5 – 19.625


= 58.875 m2



Question 27.

In a circular table cover of radius 32cm, a design is formed leaving an equilateral triangle ABC in the middle as shown in the given figure. Find the area of the design (shaded region)



Answer:


Given: Radius of circle = 32cm


Area of design = Area of circle – Area of ΔABC


Firstly, we find the area of a circle


Area of circle = πr2




…(a)


Now, we will find the area of equilateral ΔABC



Construction:


Draw OD ⊥ BC


In ΔBOD and ΔCOD


OB = OC (radii)


OD = OD (common)


∠ODB = ∠ODC (90°)


∴ ΔBOD ≅ ΔCOD [by RHS congruency]


⇒ BD = DC [by CPCT]


or BC = 2BD …(i)


and,


Now, In ΔBOD, we have




⇒ BD = 16√3 cm


From (i), BC = 2BD ⇒ BC = 32√3 cm


Now, Area of equilateral ΔABC




= 768√3 cm2 …(b)


Therefore, Area of design = Area of circle – Area of ΔABC


[from (a) and (b)]



Question 28.

Find the area of the shaded region in the figure, if PQ=24 cm, PR = 7cm and O is the centre of the circle.



Answer:


Given: PQ = 24cm and PR = 7cm


Since QR is a diameter, it forms a semicircle


We know that angle in a semicircle is a right angle.


Hence, ∠RPQ = 90°


Hence, ΔRPQ is a right triangle


In ΔRPQ, by Pythagoras theorem


(Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2


(QR)2 = (PQ)2 + (PR)2


⇒ (QR)2 = (24)2 + (7)2


⇒ (QR)2 = 576 + 49


⇒ (QR)2 = 625


⇒ (QR)2 = (25)2


⇒ QR = 25cm


∴ Diameter, QR = 25cm



So,






Now, Area of ΔPQR





= 12 × 7


= 84cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of semicircle – Area of ΔPQR






Question 29.

AB and CD are arcs of two concentric circles of radii 21 cm and 7 cm respectively and centre O. If ∠AOB =30°, find the area of the shaded region.



Answer:

Area of the shaded region


= Area of sector AOB – Area of sector COD


Area of sector AOB


Here, radius = 21cm and θ = 30°






Area of sector COD


Here, radius = 7cm and θ = 30°






Now, shaded region = Area of sector AOB – Area of sector COD






Hence, area of shaded region is cm2



Question 30.

In the given figure ABCD is a square whose each side is 14cm. APD and BPC are semicircles. Find the area of the shaded region.



Answer:

Area of shaded region = Area of square ABCD


– Area of semicircle APD


– Area of semicircle BPC


Area of square ABCD


Given: Side of square = 14cm


Area of square = Side × Side


= 14 × 14


= 196 cm2


Area of semicircle APD


Diameter = AD = 14cm


So,





= 11 × 7


= 77cm2


Similarly, Area of semicircle BPC = 77cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of square ABCD


– Area of semicircle APD


– Area of semicircle BPC


= 196 – 77 -77


= 42cm2


Hence, area of shaded region is 42cm2



Question 31.

In the given figure a square OABC is inscribed in a quadrant OPBQ. If OA =20cm, find the area of the shaded region.



Answer:


Area of shaded region = Area of quadrant OBPQ


– Area of square OABC


Area of square OABC


Given: Side of square = 20cm


Area of square = Side × Side


= 20 × 20


= 400 cm2


Area of quadrant


We need to find the radius


Joining OB


Also, all angles of a square are 90°


∴∠BAO = 90°


Hence, ΔOBA is a right triangle


In ΔOBA, by Pythagoras Theorem


(Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2


(OB)2 = (AB)2 + (OA)2


⇒ (OB)2 = (20)2 + (20)2


⇒ (OB)2 = 400 + 400


⇒ (OB)2 = 800


⇒ OB = √(10×10×2×2×2)


⇒ OB = 20√2cm





= 628 cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of quadrant OBPQ


– Area of square OABC


= 628 – 400


= 228cm2



Question 32.

It is proposed to add to a square lawn with the side 58m, two circular ends (the centre of each circle being the point of intersection of the diagonals of the square.) Find the area of the whole lawn [Take π=3.14]


Answer:


ABCD is a square lawn of side 58m. AED and BFC are two circular ends.


Now, diagonal of the lawn = √(58)2 + (58)2 = 58√2m


It is given that diagonal of square = Diameter of circle


∴The radius of a circle having a centre at the point of intersection of diagonal



It is given that square ABCD is inscribed by the circle with centre O.


∴Area of 4 segments = Area of circle – Area of square


= πr2 – (side)2






m2



= 961.14m2


Area of whole lawn = Area of circle – Area of two segments



=5286.28 – 961.14

Question 33.

Find the difference between the area of a regular hexagonal plot each of whose side is 72 m and the area of the circular swimming tank inscribed in it.


Answer:


The side of hexagonal plot = 72m




= 1296√3cm2


∴ Area of hexagonal plot = 6 × Area of triangle OAB


= 6 × 1296√3


= 7776(1.732)


=13468.032m2


In ΔOCA, by Pythagoras theorem


(Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2


(OA)2 = (OC)2 + (AC)2


⇒ (72)2 = (OC)2 + (36)2


⇒ (OC)2 = 5184 – 1296


⇒ (OC)2 = 3888


⇒ r2 = 3888


∴Area of inscribed circular swimming tank = πr2



= 12219.429m2


∴ Required difference = 13468.032 – 12219.429


= 1248.603m2


Hence, the difference between the area of a regular hexagonal plot and the area of the circular swimming tank inscribed in it is 1248.60.3m2



Question 34.

In the figure, ABC is a quadrant of a circle of radius 14cm, and a semicircle is drawn with BC as diameter. Find the area of the shaded region.



Answer:

Area of shaded region = Area of segment with chord BC


Now, AC = BA = 14cm


∴ BC = √(14)2 + (14)2 = 14√2 cm




= 154cm2




= 98


So, Area of shaded region = 154 – 98


= 56cm2



Question 35.

The area of an equilateral triangle is 100√3cm2. Taking each vertex as centre, a circle is described with a radius equal to half the length of the side of the triangle, as shown in the figure. Find the area of that part of the triangle which is not included in the circles [Take π=3.14 and √3=1.732]



Answer:

Area of the shaded region


= Area of an equilateral triangle – Area of 3 sectors


Given: Area of equilateral ΔABC = 100√3cm2



⇒ a2 = 400


⇒ a = 20cm


It is given that radius is equal to half the length of the side


i.e.


Now,





= 157.14cm2


Hence, the area of the shaded region


= Area of ΔABC – Area of 3 sectors


= 100√3 – 157.14


= 100×1.732 – 157.14


=173.2 – 157.14


= 16.06 cm2



Question 36.

In an equilateral triangle of side 12cm, a circle is inscribed touching its sides. Find the area of the portion of the triangle not included in the circle. [Take √3=1.73 and π=3.14]


Answer:


Area of shaded region = Area of ΔABC – Area of circle


Given side of triangle = 12cm




= 36√3cm2


Now, we have to find the area of a circle. For that we need a radius.


Draw AD ⊥ BC


So, In BDO




⇒ r = 2√3cm


Now, Area of circle = πr2


= 3.14 × (2√3)2


= 37.68cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of ΔABC – Area of circle


= 36√3 – 37.68


= 36(1.73) – 37.68


= 24.6cm2


Hence, the area of the portion of the triangle not included in the circle is 24.6cm2



Question 37.

In a circular table-cover of radius 16cm, a design is formed leaving an equilateral triangle ABC in the middle as shown in the figure. Find the area of the design (shaded region in the figure).



Answer:

Given: Radius of circle = 16cm


Area of shaded region = Area of circle – Area of ΔABC


Firstly, we find the area of a circle


Area of circle = πr2




…(a)


Now, we will find the area of equilateral ΔABC



Construction:


Draw OD ⊥ BC


In ΔBOD and ΔCOD


OB = OC (radii)


OD = OD (common)


∠ODB = ∠ODC (90°)


∴ ΔBOD ≅ ΔCOD [by RHS congruency]


⇒ BD = DC [by CPCT]


or BC = 2BD …(i)


and,


Now, In ΔBOD, we have




⇒ BD = 8√3 cm


From (i), BC = 2BD ⇒ BC = 16√3 cm


Now, Area of equilateral ΔABC




= 192√3 cm2 …(b)


Therefore, Area of design = Area of circle – Area of ΔABC


[from (a) and (b)]


= 804.57 – 332.544


= 472.03cm2
