Circumference = 2πr


⇒ Circumference


⇒ Circumference


Hence, circumference is 11 cm.


(2). Given: Diameter = 6.3 m


⇒ Radius, r = Diameter/2


⇒ r = 6.3/2 = 3.15 m

Circumference = 2πr


⇒ Circumference


⇒ Circumference


Hence, circumference is 19.8 cm.


(3). Given: Diameter = 0.14 m


⇒ Radius, r = Diameter/2


⇒ r = 0.14/2 = 0.07 m



Circumference of the circle is given by,


Circumference = 2πr

⇒ Circumference


⇒ Circumference


Hence, circumference is 48.4 cm.


(3). Given: Radius, r = 2.8 m


We have

⇒ Circumference


⇒ Circumference


Hence, circumference is 17.6 m.



Question 3.

From the given circumference, find the radius and the diameter of the circle.

(1) 198 cm

(2) 616 cm

(3) 72.6 m


Answer:

(1). Given: Circumference = 198 cm


And we know circumference of a circle is given by,


Circumference = 2πr



Substituting Circumference = 198 cm and π = 22/7,





If radius, r = 31.5 cm


Then diameter = 2r


⇒ diameter = 2 × 31.5 = 63


We can draw the circle as



Hence, radius is 31.5 cm and diameter is 63 cm.


(2). Given: Circumference = 616 cm


And we know circumference of a circle is given by,


Circumference = 2πr



Substituting Circumference = 616 cm and π = 22/7,





If radius, r = 98 cm


Then diameter = 2r


⇒ diameter = 2 × 98 = 196


We can draw the circle as



Hence, radius is 98 cm and diameter is 196 cm.


(3). Given: Circumference = 72.6 m


And we know circumference of a circle is given by,


Circumference = 2πr



Substituting Circumference = 72.6 m and π = 22/7,





If radius, r = 11.55 cm


Then diameter = 2r


⇒ diameter = 2 × 11.55 = 23.1


We can draw the circle as



Hence, radius is 11.55 m and diameter is 23.1 m.



Question 4.

What is the cost of fencing a circular place of radius 7.7 m. with three rounds of wire, if the wire costs Rs 50 per m?


Answer:

We have


Given: Radius of the circular fence, r = 7.7 m


The wire is about the circular fence. So, we need to find the circumference of this circular fence in order to find the length of the wire used in 1 round of fence.


Circumference of circle is given by,


Circumference = 2πr


⇒ Circumference


⇒ Circumference


If the circumference of the circular fence = 48.4 m


Then, length of wire used in 1 round = 48.4 m


⇒ length of wire used in 3 rounds = 3 × 48.4


= 145.2 m


If the cost of 1 m of wire used = Rs. 50


Then, cost of 145.2 m of wire used = 50 × 145.2


= 7260


Thus, cost of fencing the circular place with 3 rounds of wire is Rs. 7260.



Question 5.

A bus has wheels of diameter 0.7 m. How many times must a wheel of the bus rotate for covering the distance of 22 km between two towns?


Answer:

Given: Diameter of the wheels of the bus = 0.7 m

⇒ Radius of the wheels of the bus, r = diameter/2 = 0.7/2 = 0.35 m


⇒ r = 0.35 m


We have



We need to find circumference of the wheels that will tell us about the distance it covers in 1 rotation.


Circumference of a circular wheel is given by,


Circumference = 2πr


⇒ Circumference


⇒ Circumference


If the circumference of the wheel = 2.2 m


Then, distance covered by the wheel in 1 rotation = 2.2 m


We know, 1 m = 0.001 km


⇒ 2.2 m = 2.2 × 0.001 = 2.2 × 10-3 km


⇒ distance covered by the wheel in 1 rotation = 2.2 × 10-3 km


Or


Rotations covered in 2.2 × 10-3 km = 1


⇒ Rotations covered in 1 km = 1/(2.2 × 10-3)


⇒ Rotations covered in 22 km = 22/(2.2 × 10-3) = 10000


Thus, the wheels of the bus rotate 10,000 times for covering a distance of 22 km between two towns.

To find radius:


If circumference = 44 m


⇒ 2πr = 44 [∵, circumference of circle = 2πr, where r = radius]





⇒ radius = 7 m …(i)


To find diameter:


Diameter = 2 × radius


⇒ diameter = 2 × 7 = 14 m [from (i)]


To find area:

We need to find: radius = ?, diameter = ? & circumference = ?


To find radius:


If area = 616 cm2

(1) 1386 sq cm (2) 346.5 sq cm

(3) 3850 sq m (4) 301.84 sq m

(5) 24.64 sq m


Answer:

(1). Given: Area of circle = 1386 cm2


To find diameter:


We know that, area is given by


Area = πr2


⇒ r2 = Area/π




⇒ r = √441


⇒ r = 21


If radius, r = 21 cm


Then, diameter = 2r = 2 × 21


⇒ diameter = 42



Thus, diameter is 42 cm.


(2). Given: Area of the circle = 346.5 cm2


To find diameter:


We know that, area is given by


Area = πr2


⇒ r2 = Area/π




⇒ r = √110.25


⇒ r = 10.5


If radius, r = 10.5 cm


Then, diameter = 2r = 2 × 10.5


⇒ diameter = 21



Thus, diameter is 21 cm.


(3). Given: Area of the circle = 3850 m2


To find diameter:


We know that, area is given by


Area = πr2


⇒ r2 = Area/π




⇒ r = √1225


⇒ r = 35


If radius, r = 35 m


Then, diameter = 2r = 2 × 35


⇒ diameter = 70



Thus, diameter is 70 m.


(4). Given: Area of the circle = 301.84 m2


To find diameter:


We know that, area is given by


Area = πr2


⇒ r2 = Area/π




⇒ r = √96.04


⇒ r = 9.8


If radius, r = 9.8 m


Then, diameter = 2r = 2 × 9.8


⇒ diameter = 19.6



Thus, diameter is 19.6 m.


(5). Given: Area of the circle = 24.64 m2


To find diameter:


We know that, area is given by


Area = πr2


⇒ r2 = Area/π




⇒ r = √7.84


⇒ r = 2.8


If radius, r = 2.8 m


Then, diameter = 2r = 2 × 2.8


⇒ diameter = 5.6



Thus, diameter is 5.6 m.



Question 4.

The circumference of a circle is 96.8 m. Find its area.


Answer:

Given: circumference of the circle = 96.8 m

And we know circumference of a circle is given by


Circumference = 2πr, where r = radius of the circle


⇒ r = circumference/2π




⇒ radius = 15.4 m



To find area of this circle:


Area is given by


Area = πr2


⇒ Area = 22/7 × 15.42


⇒ Area = (22 × 15.4 × 15.4)/7


⇒ Area = 5217.52/7 = 745.36 m2


Thus, area of circle is 745.36 m2.



Question 5.

In the figure, l(AB) = 14 cm. If the diameters of the semicircles AM and MB are equal, what is the total area of the shaded part?



Answer:

Given: AB = 14 cm & AM = MB

Clearly, AB = AM + MB


⇒ AB = AM + AM = 2 AM


⇒ AM = AB/2


⇒ AM = 14/2 = 7 cm


Also, area of circle is given by


Area = πr2


Area of semicircle = πr2/2


Now, if diameter of one of the semicircle = 7 cm


Then, radius of that semicircle = 7/2 = 3.5 cm


So, area of that semicircle


…(i)


Radius of the other semicircle = 7/2 = 3.5 cm


So, area of that other semicircle


…(ii)


Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get


Total area of the shaded part = 19.25 + 19.25


= 38.5 cm


Thus, total area of the shaded part is 38.5 cm2.


Alternate Method:


Given that AB = 14 cm & AM = MB


Notice, AB = AM + MB


⇒ AB = AM + AM


⇒ AB = 2 AM


⇒ AM = AB/2


⇒ AM = 14/2 = 7 cm


So, if AM is joined with MB, then it forms a complete circle of diameter, 7 cm.


Then, radius of this circle = 7/2 = 3.5 cm


When points A and B are met together, they form a circle.


Let AB = L and center of this circle = O.


Then, we have LM = 7 cm and LO = OM = 3.5 cm (radius).



Area of this circle is given by


Area = πr2


⇒ Area = 22/7 × 3.52


⇒ Area = (22 × 3.5 × 3.5)/7


⇒ Area = 269.5/7 = 38.5 cm2


Thus, total area of the shaded part is 38.5 cm2.



Question 6.

The radius of the circular lid of a tank is 1.4 m. How much will it cost to paint both sides of 100 such lids at the rate of Rs 20 per sq m?


Answer:

Given that, radius of the circular lid of a tank, r = 1.4 m


Now this lid is painted on both sides. So, we need to find area of both sides of the circular lid.


Area of one side = πr2


= 22/7 × 1.42


= (22 × 1.4 × 1.4)/7


= 43.12/7


= 6.16


Area of both sides = 2 × Area of one side


= 2 × 6.16


= 12.32


So, area painted on both sides of 1 circular lid = 12.32 m2


Then, area painted on both sides of 100 such circular lid = 12.32 × 100 = 1232 m2


Cost of painting 1 m2 area = Rs. 20


Cost of painting 1232 m2 area = 20 × 1232 = Rs. 24640


Thus, it will cost Rs. 24,640 to paint 100 such lids at the rate of Rs. 20 per m2.
