Exercise 18a
Question 1.

The difference between the circumference and radius of a circle is 37 cm. Using π = 22/7, find the circumference of the circle.


Answer:

Given:

Difference between the circumference and the radius of circle = 37 cm


Let the radius of the circle be ‘r’.


Circumference of the circle = 2πr


So, Difference between the circumference and the radius of the circle = 2πr – r = 37


2πr – r = 37


2 × × r – r = 37


× r – r = 37




r = 37 ×


r = 7 cm


∴ Circumference of circle = 2 × × 7


= 2 × 22


= 44 cm


Hence the circumference of the circle is 44 cm.



Question 2.

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


Answer:

Given:

Circumference of circle = 22 cm


Let the radius of the circle be ‘r’.


∵ Circumference of circle = 2πr


∴ 22 = 2 × π × r


⇒ 22 = 2 × × r


⇒ 22 × × = r or = r


or r =


∵ Area of circle = πr2


∴ Area of its quadrant = πr2


=


=


Hence the area of the quadrant of the circle iscm.



Question 3.

What is the diameter of a circle whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of two circles of diameter 10 cm and 24 cm?


Answer:

Given:

Let the two circles be C1 and C2 with diameters 10 cm and 24 cm respectively.


Area of circle, C = Area of C1 + Area of C2 …… (i)


∵ Diameter = 2 × radius


∴ Radius of C1, r1 = = 5 cm


and Radius of C2, r2 = = 12 cm


∵ Area of circle = πr2 …… (ii)


∴ Area of C1 = πr12


=


=


= cm2


Similarly, Area of C2 = πr22


=


= 22/7 × 144


= cm2


∴ Using equation (i), we have


Area of C = +


= cm2


Now, using equation (ii), we have



× r2 =


r2 =


r2 = 169


r =


r = 13 cm


⇒ Diameter = 2 × r


= 2 × 13


= 26 cm


Hence, the diameter of the circle is 26 cm.



Question 4.

If the area of a circle is numerically equal to twice its circumference, then what is the diameter of the circle?


Answer:

Given:

Area of circle = 2 × Circumference of circle …… (i)


Let the radius of the circle be ‘r’.


Then, the area of the circle = πr2


and the circumference of the circle = 2πr


Using (i), we have


πr2 = 2 × 2πr


πr2 = 4πr


r = 4 cm


∵ Diameter = 2 × radius


∴ Diameter = 2 × 4


= 8 cm


Hence, the diameter of the circle is 8 cm.



Question 5.

What is the perimeter of a square which circumscribes a circle of radius a cm?


Answer:

Given:

Perimeter of square circumscribes a circle of radius ‘a’.



Side of square = Diameter of circle


Diameter of circle = 2 × radius

Question 7.

Find the diameter of the circle whose area is equal to the sum of the areas of two circles having radii 4 cm and 3 cm.


Answer:

Given:

Let the two circles with radii 4 cm and 3 cm be C1 and C2 respectively.


⇒ r1 = 4 cm and r2 = 3 cm


Area of circle, C = Area of C1 + Area of C2 …… (i)


∵ Area of circle = πr2 …… (ii)


∴ Area of C1 = πr12


=


= × 16 = cm2


Similarly, Area of C2 = πr22


= × 3 × 3


= × 9 = cm2


So, using (i), we have


Area of C = + = cm2


Now, using (ii), we have


πr2 =


× r2 =


r2 = × = 25


r = √25 = 5


r = 5 cm


∵ Diameter = 2 × radius


∴ Diameter = 2 × 5 = 10 cm


Hence, diameter of the circle with area equal to the sum of two circles of radii 4 cm and 3cm is 10 cm.



Question 8.

Find the area of a circle whose circumference is 8π.


Answer:

Given:

Circumference of circle = 8π


∵ Circumference of a circle = 2πr


∴ 8π = 2πr


r = 4


∵ Area of circle = πr2


∴ Area of circle = π × 4 × 4


= 16π


Hence, the area of the circle is 16π.



Question 9.

Find the perimeter of a semicircular protractor whose diameter is 14 cm.


Answer:

Given:

Diameter of the semicircular protractor = 14 cm


Radius of the protractor = cm = 7 cm


∵ Perimeter of semicircle = πr + d


∴ Perimeter of semicircular protractor = × 7 + 14 = 22 + 14


= 36 cm


Hence, the perimeter of the semicircular protractor is 36 cm.



Question 10.

Find the radius of a circle whose perimeter and area are numerically equal.


Answer:

Given:

Perimeter of circle = Area of circle …… (i)


∵ Perimeter of circle = 2πr and Area of circle = πr2

2πr = πr2


2 =


2 = r or r = 2


Hence, the radius of the circle is 2 cm.



Question 11.

The radii of two circles are 19 cm and 9 cm. Find the radius of the circle which has circumference equal to the sum of the circumferences of the two circles.


Answer:

Given:

Radius of one of the circles, C1 = 19 cm = r1


Radius of the other circle, C2 = 9 cm = r2


Let the other circle be C with radius ‘r’.


Circumference of C = Circumference of C1 + Circumference of C2 …………(i)


∵ Circumference of circle = 2πr


∴ Circumference of C1 = 2πr1 = 2 × × 19 =


and Circumference of C2 = 2πr2 = 2 × × 9 =


Using (i), we have


2πr = + =


2 × × r =


r = × × = 28


r = 28 cm


Hence, the radius of the circle is 28 cm.



Question 12.

The radii of two circles are 8 cm and 6 cm. Find the radius of the circle having area equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles.


Answer:

Given:

Radius of one of the circles, C1 = 8 cm = r1


Radius of the other circle, C2 = 6 cm = r2


Let the other circle be C with radius ‘r’.


Area of C = Area of C1 + Area of C2 …… (i)


∵ Area of circle = πr2


∴ Area of C1 = πr12 = × 8 × 8 =


and Area of C2 = πr22 = × 6 × 6 =


Using (i), we have


πr2 = + =


× r2 =


r2 = × = 100


r2 = 100


r = √100 = 10 or r = 10


Hence, the radius of the circle is 10 cm.



Question 13.

Find the area of the sector of a circle having radius 6 cm and of angle 30°.


Answer:

Given:

Radius of circle = 6 cm


Angle of the sector = 30°


∵ Area of sector = × πr2

∴ We consider one circle of radius 7 cm.


Area of shaded region = Area of square – Area of circle ….……. (i)


Area of square = side × side


= 14 × 14 = 196 cm2


Area of circle = πr2


= × 7 × 7 = 22 × 7 = 154 cm2


Thus, using (i), we have


Area of shaded region = 196 – 154 = 42 cm2


Hence, the area of shaded region is 42 cm2.

Length of major arc AB = × 2πr


= × 2 × × 42


= × 2 × 22 × 6


= × 264 = 3 × 66 = 198 cm


Thus, using (i), we have


Perimeter of the top of the table = 198 + 2 × 42


= 198 + 84 = 282 cm


Hence, the perimeter of the top of the table is 282 cm.

∵ Area of quadrant = πr2


∴ Area of 2 quadrants = 2 × × πr2


= × × 7 × 7


= 77 cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of 2 quadrants – Area of square


= 77 – 49 = 28 cm2


Hence, the area of shaded region is 28 cm2.

Radius of Circle = 3.5 cm


OD = 2 cm


∵ Area of Quadrant = πr2


∴ Area of Quadrant OABC = × × 3.5 × 3.5


= 9.625 cm2


∵ Area of Triangle = × Base × Height


∴ Area of COD = × 3.5 × 2


= 3.5 cm2


Area of Shaded Region = Area of Quadrant OABC – Area of COD


= 38.5 – 3.5 = 35 cm2


Hence, the area of shaded region is 35 cm2.

Answer:

Given:

Side of square = 14 cm


Diameter of semi circle = 14 cm


⇒ Radius of semi circle = = 7 cm


∵ There are 2 semi circles of same radius.


∴ We consider it as one circle with radius 7 cm.


So,


Perimeter of 2 semicircles = Perimeter of circle = 2πr


= 2 × × 7


= 2 × 22 = 44 cm


Perimeter of shaded region = Perimeter of 2 semicircles + 2 × Side of Square = 44 + 2 × 14 = 44 + 28 = 72 cm


Hence, the area of the shaded region is 72 cm.

∵ Side of a square =


⇒ Side = = 7√2 cm


⇒ Area of square = side × side


= 7√2 × 7√2


= 49 × 2 = 98 cm2


Area of circle = πr2


= × 7 × 7 = 22 × 7 = 154 cm2


Thus, the area of the circle outside the square


= Area of circle – Area of square = 154 – 98 = 56 cm2


Hence, the area of the required region is 56 cm2.



Question 37.

In the given figure, APB and CQD are semicircle of diameter 7 cm each, while ARC and BSD are semicircles of diameter 14 cm each. Find the (i) perimeter, (ii) area of the shaded region.

⇒ Radius of semicircles APB and CQD = cm = r1


Diameter of semicircles ARC and BSD = 14 cm


⇒ Radius of semicircles ARC and BSD = cm = 7 cm = r2


Perimeter of APB = Perimeter of CQD


Area of APB = Area of CQD ………….. (i)


Perimeter of ARC = Perimeter of BSD


Area of ARC = Area of BSD ………….. (ii)


∵ Perimeter of semicircle = πr …………… (iii)


∴ Perimeter of APB = πr1


= × = 11 cm


Then, using (i), we have


Perimeter of CQD = 11 cm


Now, using (iii), we have


Perimeter of ARC = πr2


= × 7 = 22 cm


Then, using (ii), we have


Perimeter of BSD = 22 cm


Perimeter of shaded region


= (Perimeter of ARC + Perimeter of APB) + (Perimeter of BSD + Perimeter of CQD)


= (22 + 11) + (22 + 11) = 33 + 33 = 66 cm


Hence, the perimeter of the shaded region is 66 cm.


(ii) Now,


∵ Area of semicircle = πr2 …………. (iv)


∴ Area of APB = πr12


= × × × = cm2


Then, using (i), we have


Area of CQD = cm2


Now, using (iv), we have


Area of ARC = πr22


= × × 7 × 7 = 11 × 7 = 77 cm2


Then, by using (ii), we have


Area of BSD = 77 cm2


Area of shaded region


= (Area of ARC-Area of APB) + (Area of BSD- Area of CQD)


= (77 - ) + (77 - )


= () + () = + = = 115.5 cm2


Hence, the area of the shaded region is 115.5 cm2.

⇒ Radius of semicircle PSR = = 5 cm = r1


Diameter of semicircle RTQ = 3 cm


⇒ Radius of semicircle RTQ = = 1.5 cm = r2


Diameter of semicircle PAQ = 7 cm


⇒ Radius of semicircle PAQ = = 3.5 cm = r3


∵ Perimeter of semicircle = πr


∴ Perimeter of semicircle PSR = πr1


= 3.14 × 5 = 15.7 cm


Similarly, Perimeter of semicircle RTQ = πr2


= 3.14 × 1.5 = 4.71 cm


and Perimeter of semicircle PAQ = πr3


= 3.14 × 3.5 = 10.99 cm


Perimeter of shaded region = Perimeter of semicircle PSR


+ Perimeter of semicircle RTQ


+ Perimeter of semicircle PAQ


= 15.7 + 4.71 + 10.99 = 31.4 cm


Hence, the perimeter of the shaded region is 31.4 cm.

Answer:

Given:

OA = Side of square OABC = 20 cm


∵ Area of square = Side × Side


∴ Area of square OABC = 20 × 20 = 400 cm2


Now,


∵ Length of diagonal of square = √2 × Side of Square


∴ Length of diagonal of square OABC = √2 × 20 = 20√2 cm


⇒ Radius of the quadrant = 20√2 cm


∵ Area of quadrant = πr2


∴ Area of quadrant OPBQ = × 3.14 × 20√2 × 20√2


= × 400 × 2


= 3.14 × 200 = 628 cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of quadrant OPBQ – Area of square OABC = 628 – 400 = 228 cm2


Hence, the area of the shaded region is 228 cm2.

In the given figure, APB and AQO are semicircles and AO = OB. If the perimeter of the figure is 40 cm, find the area of the shaded region.



Answer:

Given:

AO = OB


Perimeter of the figure = 40 cm………….. (i)


Let the diameters of semicircles AQO and APB be ‘x1’ and ‘x2’ respectively.


Then, using (1), we have


AO = OB


Also, AB = AO + OB = AO + AO = 2AO


⇒ x2 = 2x1


So, diameter of APB = 2x1


and diameter of AQO = x1


Radius of APB = x1


and Radius of AQO = ………….. (ii)


Perimeter of shaded region = perimeter of AQO + perimeter APB + diameter of APB ………………… (iii)


∵ Perimeter of semicircle = πr


∴ Perimeter of semicircle AQO = × = cm


Perimeter of semicircle APB = × x1 = cm


Now, using (iii), we have


40 = + + x1


40 =


40 × 7 = 40x1


280 = 40x1


x1 = = 7 cm


∴ using (ii), we have


Radius of APB = 7 cm = r1


And Radius of AQO = cm = 3.5 cm = r2


Now,


∵ Area of semicircle = πr2


∴ Area of semicircle APB = πr12


= × × 7 × 7 = 11 × 7 = 77 cm2


Similarly,


Area of semicircle APB = πr22


= × × 3.5 × 3.5 = 19.25 cm2


Thus, Area of shaded region = Area of APB + Area of AQO


= 77 + 19.25 = 96.25 cm2


Hence, the area of the shaded region is 96.25 cm2.

4r = 14 cm


r =


=


Area of square = side × side

= 14 × 14

= 196 cm2


∵ Area of circle = πr2


∴ Area of 4 circles = 4 × πr2


= 4 × × ×


= 22 × 7

= 154 cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of the square – Area of 4 circles


= 196 -154


= 42 cm2


Hence, the area of the shaded region is 42 cm2.

Answer:

Given:

Length of rectangle = 8 cm


Breadth of rectangle = 6 cm

= 8 × 6 = 48 cm2


Consider ABC,


By Pythagoras theorem,


AC2 = AB2 + BC2


= 82 + 62 = 64 + 36 = 100


AC = √100 = 10 cm


⇒ Diameter of circle = 10 cm


Thus, radius of circle = = 5 cm


Let the radius of circle be r = 5 cm


Then, Area of circle = πr2


= × 5 × 5 = = = 78.57 cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of circle – Area of rectangle


= 78.57 - 48


= 30.57 cm2

Area of Square = 484m2


Let the side of square be ‘x’ cm.


∵ Area of Square = side × side


∴ 484 = x × x


x2 = 484


x = √484 = 22cm


∵ Perimeter of square = 4 × side


= 4 × 22 = 88 cm


∴ Using (i), we have


Circumference of circle = 88 cm


Also, Circumference of Circle = 2πr


2πr = 88


2 × × r = 88


r = 88 × ×


r = 2 × 7 = 14 cm


Area of Circle = πr2 = × 14 × 14


= 22 × 2 × 14 = 616 cm2


Hence, the area of Circle is 616 cm2.

Rate of ploughing the field = 50p/m2 = Rs. 0.5/m2


Let the radius of circular field be ‘r’ and the length of the field fenced be ‘x’ m.


Then, 25 × x = 5500


x = = 220 m


∵ Circumference of circular field = 2πr


∴ 220 = 2πr


220 = 2 × × r


r =


r = 35 m


Area of the circular field = πr2


= × 35 × 35


= 22 × 5 × 35


= 3850m2


Now, cost of ploughing the field = Rate of ploughing the field × Area of the field = 0.5 × 3850

Length of the rectangular park = 120 m


Breadth of the rectangular park = 90 m


Area of the park excluding the circular lawn = 2950m2


Area of the rectangular park = length × breadth


= 120 × 90


= 10800m2


Area of circular lawn = Area of rectangular park – Area of park excluding the lawn


= 10800 – 2950

OR = 14 m = r2


Let the quadrants made by outer and inner circles be Q1 and Q2, with radius r1 and r2 respectively.


Then, Area of flower bed = Area of Q1 – Area of Q2


∵ Area of Quadrant = πr2


∴ Area of Q1 = πr12


= × × 21 × 21


= m2


Similarly, Area of Q2 = πr22


= × × 14 × 14


= m2


Thus, Area of flower bed = -

= cm2


Area of shaded region = Area of Bigger Circle – Area of Smaller Circle = - = = 770 cm2


Hence, Area of Shaded Region is 770 cm2.



Question 50.

From a thin metallic piece in the shape of a trapezium ABCD in which AB ∥ CD and ∠BCD = 90°, a quarter circle BFEC is removed. Given, AB = BC = 3.5 cm and DE = 2 cm, calculate the area of remaining (shaded) part of metal sheet.



Answer:

Given:

AB ∥ CD


∠BCD = 90°


AB = BC = 3.5 cm = EC


DE = 2 cm


DC = DE + EC = 2 + 3.5 = 5.5 cm


Area of Trapezium = × Sum of Parallel Sides × h


= × (AB + DC) × BC


= × (3.5 + 5.5) × 3.5


= × 9 × 3.5


= 15.75 cm2


Area of Quadrant BFEC = × πr2 = × × 3.5 × 3.5


= 9.625 cm2


Thus, Area of remaining part of metal sheet


= Area of Trapezium – Area of Quadrant BFEC


= 15.75 – 9.625 = 6.125 cm2


Hence, the area of the remaining part of metal sheet is 6.125 cm2.



Question 51.

Find the area of the major segment APB of a circle of radius 35 cm and ∠AOB = 90°, as shown in the given figure.



Answer:

Given:

Radius of Circle = 35 cm


∠AOB = 90°


∵ Area of Sector = × πr2


= × × 35 × 35


= cm2


∵ ∆ AOB is right-angled triangle.


∴ Area of ∆ AOB = × OA × OB


= × 35 × 35


= cm2


Now, Area of Minor Segment ACB


= Area of Sector – Area of ∆AOB


= - = = 350 cm2


Area of Circle = πr2


= × 35 × 35


= 22 × 5 × 35


= 3850 cm2


Thus, Area of Major Segment = Area of Circle – Area of Minor Segment = 3850 – 350 = 3500 cm2


Hence, the area of the major segment is 3500 cm2.

(put value of π = 22/7)



On rearranging we get,




⇒ r = 6.3 cm


So, the radius of the circle = 6.3 cm


And we also know, Area of the circle = πr2


Where, r = radius of the circle


⇒ Area of the circle = π(6.3)2


(putting value of r)





= 22×5.67


= 124.74 cm2


The area of the circle = 124.74 cm2.



Question 2.

The area of a circle is 98.56 cm2. Find its circumference.


Answer:

In order to solve such type of questions we basically need to find the radius of the give circle and simply use it to find the are circumference or perimeter of the given circle.


Given the area of the circle = 98.56 cm2


And we also know, Area of the circle = πr2


Therefore, πr2 = 98.56



(put value of π = 22/7)



On rearranging we get,





⟹ r = √31.36


⇒ r = 5.6 cm


So, the radius of the circle = 5.6 cm


And we know, Perimeter of circle = 2πr


(put value of r)


⇒ Circumference or Perimeter of circle = 2π(5.6)





= 35.2 cm


The circumference or perimeter of the circle is 35.2 cm



Question 3.

The circumference of a circle exceeds its diameter by 45 cm. Find the circumference of the circle.


Answer:

Given, the circumference of a circle exceeds its diameter by 45 cm.


⇒ Circumference of circle = Diameter of circle + 45


Let ‘d’ = diameter of the circle


⇒ Circumference = d + 45 → eqn1


And we know, Circumference of a circle = 2πr → eqn2


Where r = radius of circle


Also, we know that the radius of the circle is half of its diameter.



Put value of circumference in equation 1 from equation 2


⇒ 2πr = d + 45 → eqn4


Put value of r in equation 4 from equation 3



⇒ πd = d + 45


⇒ πd – d = 45


⇒ (π – 1)d = 45 (taking d common from L.H.S)






On rearranging, we get




⇒ d = 21 cm


Therefore, the diameter of the circle is 21 cm.


Thus, the radius of the circle



⇒ r = 10.5 cm


Now put the value of r in equation 2, we get






= 66 cm


The circumference of the circle is 66 cm.



Question 4.

A copper wire when bent in the form of a square encloses an area of 484 cm2. The same wire is now bent in the form of a circle. Find the area enclosed by the circle.


Answer:

In this question the wire is first bent in the shape of square and then same wire is bent to form a circle. The point to be noticed is that the same wire is used both the times which implies that the perimeter of square and that of circle will be equal.



Let the square be of side ‘a’ cm and radius of the circle be ‘r’


Given the area enclosed by the square = 484 cm2


Also, we know that Area of square = Side × Side


Area of the square = a2


⇒ a2 = 484


⟹ a = √484


⇒ a = 22 cm


Therefore, side of square, ‘a’ is 22 cm.


Also, circumference of the circle = Perimeter of square → eqn1


Perimeter of square = 4 × side


Perimeter of square = 4×22


⇒ Perimeter of square = 88 cm → eqn2


Also, we know, Circumference of circle = 2πr → eqn3


Put values in equation 1 from equation 2 & 3, we get


2πr = 88




On rearranging,




⇒ r = 14 cm


So, the radius ‘r’ of the circle is 14 cm.


Area of circle = πr2


Where r = radius of the circle


= π(142)




= 4312/7


= 616 cm2


Area of the circle is 616 cm2.



Question 5.

A wire when bent in the form of an equilateral triangle encloses an area of 121√3 cm2. The same wire is bent to form a circle. Find the area enclosed by the circle.


Answer:

In this question the wire is first bent in the shape of equilateral triangle and then same wire is bent to form a circle. The point to be noticed is that the same wire is used both the times which implies that the perimeter of equilateral triangle and that of circle will be equal.



Let the equilateral triangle be of side ‘a’ cm and radius of the circle be ‘r’.


Given: Area enclosed by equilateral triangle = 123√3 cm2


Also, we know that Area of equilateral triangle


Where ‘a’ = side of equilateral triangle






⟹ a = √484


a = 22 cm


Therefore, side of equilateral triangle, ‘a’ is 22 cm.


Also, circumference of the circle = Perimeter of equilateral triangle → eqn1


Perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3 × side


= 3 × 22


= 66 cm → eqn2


Also, we know Circumference of circle = 2πr → eqn3


Put values in equation 1 from equation 2 & 3, we get


2πr = 66



(put π = 22/7)



On rearranging,




r = 10.5 cm


So, the radius ‘r’ of the circle is 10.5 cm.


Area of circle = πr2


Where r = radius of the circle


⇒ Area of circle = π(10.52)





= 346.5 cm2


Area of the circle is 346.5 cm2.


Question 6.

The length of a chain used as the boundary of a semicircular park is 108 m. Find the area of the park.


Answer:

In this question the length of chain used as boundary of the semicircular park is the perimeter of the semicircular park. By using this we will first calculate the radius of the semicircular park and then area of semicircle consequently.


Length of chain = 108 m


Length of chain = Perimeter or circumference of semicircle


Therefore, Circumference or Perimeter of semicircle = 108 m


Also, Circumference or Perimeter of semicircle = πr


Where r = radius of semicircle


⇒ πr = 108



(put π = 22/7)



On rearranging,




⇒ r = 34.46 m


Therefore, radius of semicircle is 34.36 m


As, Area of semicircle


Put value of ‘r’ in equation 1, we get


Area of semicircle


(put π = 22/7)



On rearranging,




= 1855.63 m2


The area of the semicircular park is 1855.63 m2.



Question 7.

The sum of the radii of two circles is 7 cm, and the difference of their circumferences is 8 cm. Find the circumferences of the circles.


Answer:

Given Sum of the radius of the circles = 7 cm


the difference of their circumference = 8 cm


Let the radius one circle be ‘r1’ cm and other be ‘r2’ cm and circumference be ‘C1’ and ‘C2’ respectively.


Also, circumference of circle = 2πr


Where r = radius of the circle


C1 = 2πr1 and C2 = 2πr2


r1 + r2 = 7 → eqn1


C1 – C2 = 8 → eqn2


(Note: Her it is considered that r1>r2)


We can rewrite equation 2 as,


2πr1 – 2πr2 = 8


⇒ 2π(r1 – r2) = 8


(taking 2π common from L.H.S)








Put the value of r1 from equation 3 in equation 1






(taking 11 as LCM on R.H.S)





Put value of r2 in equation 3


(from equation 3)


(taking 22 as LCM on R.H.S)




(by putting value of r1)





= 182/7


= 26 cm


(by putting value of r2)





= 126/7


= 18 cm


The circumference of circles are 26 cm and 18 cm.



Question 8.

Find the area of a ring whose outer and inner radii are respectively 23 cm and 12 cm.


Answer:

Consider the ring as shown in the figure below,



The inner radius of ring is ‘r’ and the outer radius is ‘R’.


Area of inner Circle = πr2 and Area of outer Circle = πR2


Where r = 12 cm and R = 23 cm


Area of ring = Area of outer circle – Area of inner circle


Area o ring = πR2 – πr2 (put values of r & R)


⇒ Area of ring = π(232) – π(122)


⇒ Area of ring = π(232 – 122) (taking π common from R.H.S)


⇒ Area of ring = π(529 – 144)




= 1210 cm2


Area of ring is 1210 cm2.



Question 9.

A path of 8 m width runs around the outside of a circular park whose radius is 17 m. Find the area of the path.


Answer:


Given radius of circular park = R = 17 m


Width of the circular path outside the park = d = 8 m


Therefore, the radius of the outer circle = R’ = R + d


Outer radius = R’ = 17 + 8


R’ = 25 m


Area of inner circle = πR2 and,


Area of outer circle = πR’2


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


= πR’2 – πR2 (put values of R’ & R)


= π(252) – π(172)


= π(252 – 172) (taking π common from R.H.S)


= π(625 – 289)



(put π = 22/7)


= 7392/7


= 1056 m2


The area of the path is 1056 m2.



Question 10.

A racetrack is in the form of a ring whose inner circumference is 352 m and outer circumference is 396 m. Find the width and the area of the track.


Answer:

Consider the race track as shown below,



The inner and outer radius of track is ‘r’ cm and ‘R’ cm respectively.


Let inner and outer circumference be ‘C1’ and C2’ respectively.


C1 = 352 m and C2 = 396 m.


We know,


Circumference of circle = 2πr


Where r = radius of the circle


C1 = 2πr and C2 = 2πR


⇒ 2πr = 352 and 2πR = 396




On rearranging,




⇒ r = 56 m and R = 63 m


So, the width of the race track = R – r,


⇒ Width of the race track = 63 – 56


⇒ Width of the race track = 7 m


Area of race track = area of outer circle – area of inner circle


⇒ Area of track = πR2 – πr2 (put values of r and R)


⇒ Area of track = π(632) – π(562)


⇒ Area of track = π(632 – 562) (taking π common from R.H.S)


⇒ Area of track = π(3969 – 3136)


⇒ Area of track = π×833



= 22×119


= 2618 m2


The width of tack is 7 m and area of track is 2618 m2.



Question 11.

A sector is cut from a circle of radius 21 cm. The angle of the sector is 150°. Find the length of the arc and the area of the sector.


Answer:


Consider the circle shown above,


Given radius of the circle = R = 21 cm → eqn1


And angle of the sector = θ = 150o→ eqn2


Length of arc of a sector


Where ‘R’ = radius of sector (or circle)


θ = angle subtended by the arc on the centre of the circle


Put the values of R and θ from equation 1 and 2 in equation 3





= 138600/2520


= 55 cm


Area of a sector


Where ‘R’ = radius of sector (or circle)


θ = angle subtended by the arc on the centre of the circle


Put the values of R and θ from equation 1 and 2 in equation 3




= 1455300/2520


= 577.5 cm2


The length of arc is 55 cm and area of sector is 577.5 cm2.



Question 12.

Answer:


Consider the circle shown above,


We know , Area of sector


Where R = radius of the circle and θ = central angle


Given R = 10.5 cm and Area of sector = 69.3 cm2


Let the angle subtended at centre = θ


Put the values of R and area of sector in equation 1








⇒θ = 72°


The central angle of the sector is 72°.



Question 13.

The length of an arc of a circle, subtending an angle of 54° at the centre is 16.5 cm. Calculate the radius, circumference and area of the circle.


Answer:



Consider the Circle shown above,


We know, Length of arc of sector


Where R = radius of circle and θ = central angle of the sector


Given, Length of arc = ℓ = 16.5 cm and θ = 54o. Let the radius be x cm


Put the values of ℓ and θ in equation 1





On rearranging




⇒ x = 17.5 cm


Also, we know circumference of the circle = 2πR


⇒ Circumference of the circle = 2πx (put value of x in this equation)


⇒ Circumference of the circle = 2π(17.5)





⇒ Circumference of the circle = 110 cm


Also, we know Area of the circle = πR2


⇒ Area of the circle = πx2


⇒ Are of the circle = π(17.52)





⇒ Area of the circle = 962.5 cm2


The radius of circle is 17.5 cm, circumference is 110 cm and area is 962.5 cm2



Question 14.

The radius of a circle with centre O is 7 cm. Two radii OA and OB are drawn at right angles to each other. Find the areas of minor and major segments.


Answer:


Consider the above figure,


From here we can conclude that the portion or the segment below the chord AB is the minor segment and the segment above AB is major segment.


Also we know,


Area of minor segment = Area of sector – Area of ∆AOB → eqn1


Now, Area of sector


Where R = radius of the circle and θ = central angle of the sector


Given, R = 7 cm and θ = 90°


Putting these values in the equation 2, we get






⇒ Area of sector = 38.5 cm2→ eqn3


Area of △AOB = 1/2 × base × height



As triangle is isosceles therefore height and base both are 7 cm.


⟹ Area of △AOB = 1/2×7×7


= 24.5 cm2→ eqn4


Putting values of equation 2 and 4 in equation 1 we get


Area of minor segment = 38.5 – 24.5


⇒ Area of minor segment = 14 cm2


Area of major segment = πR2 – Area of minor segment → eqn5


Put the value of R, and Area of minor segment in equation 5


= π(72) – 14


= 49π - 14



= (22×7) - 14


= 154 - 14


= 140 cm2


Area of minor segment is 14 cm2 and of major segment is 140 cm2.



Question 15.

Find the lengths of the arcs cut off from a circle of radius 12 cm by a chord 12 cm long. Also, find the area of the minor segment. [Take π = 3.14 and √3 = 1.73.]


Answer:


Consider the figure shown above.


In this, the triangle AOB is an equilateral triangle as all the sides are equal; therefore, it is obvious that the central angle of the sector is 60 degrees. Now by simply applying the formula of length of an arc, we can easily calculate the length of arc of the sector AOB.


Given Radius of circle = R = 12 cm,


Length of chord AB = 12 cm


∴ Central angle = θ = 60° (∵ ∆AOB is an equilateral triangle)



Where R = radius of the circle and θ = central angle of the sector


Put the values of R and θ in equation 1






= 2×3.14×2


= 12.56 cm


Now, Length of major arc = 2πR – Length of minor arc


⇒ Length of major arc = 2π(12) – 12.56 (put π = 3.14)


⇒ Length of major arc = (2×3.14×12) – 12.56


⇒ Length of major arc = 75.36 – 12.56


⇒ Length of major arc = 62.8 cm


Now, Area of minor segment = Area of sector – Area of triangle → eqn1





= 75.36 cm2→ eqn2





⇒ Area of triangle = 1.73×36


⇒ Area of triangle = 62.28 cm2→ eqn3


Put the values of equation 2 and 3 in equation 1,


∴ Area of minor segment = 75.36 – 62.28


= 13.08 cm2


Length of major arc is 62.8 cm and of minor arc is 12.56 cm and area of minor segment is 13.08 cm2.



Question 16.

A chord 10 cm long is drawn in a circle whose radius is 5√2 cm. Find the areas of both the segments. [Take π = 3.14.]


Answer:

Consider the figure shown above.

In this, the triangle AOB is an isosceles triangle. So here we will construct a perpendicular bisector from O on AB and as this triangle is isosceles therefore this perpendicular will also act as median and angle bisector.

Therefore,

Draw a perpendicular bisector from O which meets AB at D and bisects AB, as ABO is an isosceles triangle therefore OD acts as a median.

So, consider right angle triangle AOD right angled at D

Let ∠AOD = θ ⇒ Perpendicular = AD and Hypotenuse = AO = R

Given Radius of circle = R = 5√2 cm

Length of chord AB = 10 cm, AD = 5 cm

⇒ θ = 45°

∴ ∠AOD = 45°

Area of minor segment = Area of sector – Area of right angle triangle

→ eqn1

Where R = radius of the circle and θ = central angle of the sector

∴ Area of sector = 39.25 cm2

Area of right angle triangle = 1/2 × base × height

As this is isosceles right-angle triangle

∴ height = base = 5√2 cm

Area of right angle triangle = 1/2 ×5√2×5√2 = = 25 cm2

Put the value of area of sector and area of right angle triangle in equation 1,

⇒ Area of minor segment = 39.25 -25

= 14.25 cm2

Area of major segment = πR2 – area of minor segment

⇒ Area of major segment = 157 – 14.25 = 142.75 cm2

Area of major segment is 142.75 cm2 and of minor segment is 14.25 cm 2.


Question 17.

Find the area of both the segments of a circle of radius 42 cm with central angle 120°. [Given, sin 120° = √3/2 and √3 = 1.73.]


Answer:

Given R = 42 cm and central angle of sector = 120°


Area of minor segment = Area of sector – Area of triangle → eqn1



Where R = radius of the circle and θ = central angle of the sector




∴ Area of sector = 1848 cm2


Area of right angle triangle = 1/2×base×height×sin θ


Where θ = central angle of the sector




Area of triangle = 1/2×42×42×√3/2


Area of triangle = (42×42×√3)/4


(put √3 = 1.73)



= 762.93 cm2


Put the values of area of triangle and area of sector in equation 1


⇒ Area of minor segment = 1848 – 762.93


= 1085.07 cm2


Area of major segment = πR2 – Area of minor segment


Put the value of area of minor segment and R in above equation


= π(422) – 1085.07


⇒Area of major segment = 22/7×42×42-1085.07


(put π = 22/7)


⇒ Area of major segment = 5544 – 1085.07


∴ Area of major segment = 4458.93 cm2


Area of major segment is 4458.93 cm2 and of minor segment is 1085.07 cm2.



Question 18.

A chord of a circle of radius 30 cm makes an angle of 60° at the centre of the circle. Find the areas of the minor and major segments. [Take π = 3.14 and √3 = 1.732.]


Answer:

Area of minor segment = Area of sector – Area of triangle → eqn1



Where R = radius of the circle and θ = central angle of the sector





∴ Area of sector = 471 cm2



Where a = side of the triangle


Area of triangle = √3/4×30×30


Area of triangle = √3/4×900


Area of triangle = (900×√(3 ))/4


(put √3 = 1.732)


Area of triangle = (1.732×900)/4


∴ Area of triangle = 389.7 cm2


Put the values of area of triangle and area of sector in equation 1


Area of minor segment = 471 – 389.7


⇒ Area of minor segment = 81.3 cm2


Area of major segment = πR2 – Area of minor segment


Put the value of area of minor segment and R in above equation


⇒ Area of major segment = π×(302) – 81.3 (put π = 3.14)


⇒ Area of major segment = 3.14×30×30 – 81.3


⇒ Area of major segment = 2826 – 81.3


= 2744.7 cm2


Area of major segment is 2744.7cm2 and of minor segment is 81.3 cm2.



Question 19.

In a circle of radius 10.5 cm, the minor arc is one-fifth of the major arc. Find the area of the sector corresponding to the major arc.


Answer:

Given radius of circle = R = 10.5 cm


Let the area of major sector be ‘A1’ and that of minor sector be ‘A2



We know, Area of circle = Area of major sector + Area of minor sector


⇒ Area of circle = A1 + A2



We also know, Area of circle = πR2


Where R = radius of circle, put value of area of circle in equation 2.



(taking 5 as L.C.M on R.H.S)








= 288.75 cm2


The area of major sector is 288.75 cm2.



Question 20.

The short and long hands of a clock are 4 cm and 6 cm long respectively. Find the sum of distances travelled by their tips in 2 days. [Take π = 3.14.]


Answer:

In an hour the minute hand completes one rotation therefore in 24 hours the minute hand will complete 24 rotations similarly the hour hand completes one rotation in 12 hours therefore in 24 hours it will complete 2 rotations. Now we have to just calculate the perimeter of the circle traced by minute hand and hour hand and multiply it with the number of rotations of minute hand and hour hand in 2 days respectively.


Length of short/hour hand = r = 4 cm


Length of long/minute hand = R = 6 cm


∴ The perimeter of circle traced by short hand = p = 2πr → eqn1


∴ The perimeter of circle traced by Long hand = P = 2πR → eqn2


Now put the value of ‘r’ and ‘R’ in the equation 1 and 2 respectively.


⇒ p = 2π(4) & P = 2π(6) (put π = 3.14)


⇒ p = 2×3.14×4 & P = 2×3.14×6


∴ p = 25.12 cm & P = 37.68 cm


Therefore, distance covered by short hand in one rotation = 25.12 cm


Distance covered by long hand in one rotation = 37.68 cm


Number of rotation of short hand in one day = 2


Number of rotation of long hand in one day = 24


Therefore number of rotation of small hand in two days = 4


Number of rotation of long hand in two days = 48


Total distance covered by long hand in 2 days = P × no. of rotations in 2 days


⇒ Total distance covered by long hand in 2 days = 37.68×48


⇒ Total distance covered by long hand in 2 days = 1808.64 cm → eqn3


Total distance covered by short hand in 2 days = p × no. of rotations in 2 days


⇒ Total distance covered by short hand in 2 days = 25.12×24


⇒ Total distance covered by short hand in 2 days = 100.48 cm → eqn4


Now total distance covered by tip of both hands in 2 days = eqn3 + eqn4


⇒ Total distance covered by both hands in 2 days = 1808.64 + 100.48


⇒ Total distance covered by both hands in 2 days = 1909.12 cm


The distance covered by both hands tip in 2 days is 1909.12 cm



Question 21.

Find the area of a quadrant of a circle whose circumference is 88 cm.


Answer:

Quadrant is a sector in which the central angle is 90 degrees, and this is the key to solve this question. As we know the central angle of the sector so we can easily calculate the area of quadrant by first calculating the radius of the circle as the circumference of the circle is given and then applying the formula of area of sector.


So, we know Circumference of a circle = 2πR → eqn1


Where R = radius of the circle


Given Circumference of the circle = 88 cm, θ = 90°


Put the given values in equation 1




⟹ 88 = (44×R)/7


⟹ 88 = 44R/7


⟹ (88×7)/44 = R


⟹ 616/44 = R


⇒ R = 14 cm



Put the values of R and θ in the above equation






= 154 cm2.


The area of quadrant is 154 cm2.



Question 22.

A rope by which a cow is tethered is increased from 16 m to 23 m. How much additional ground does it have now to graze?


Answer:

Here the increase in the length of the rope simply means that there is increase in the radius of the circle within which cow can graze. Now to find the additional area available for grazing can be easily be found by simply subtracting the initial area available for grazing from the new area available.


Initial radius = r = 16 cm


Increased radius = R = 23 cm


Additional ground available = Area of new ground – Initial area → eqn1


Initial area of ground = π(r2)


⇒ Initial area of ground = π(162)


⇒ Initial area of ground = 256π → eqn2


Area of new ground = πR2


⇒ Area of new ground = π(232)


⇒ Area of new ground = 529π → eqn3


Now put the values of equation 2 and 3 in equation 1


⇒ Additional area of ground available = 529π – 256π


⇒ Additional area available = (529 – 256)π (Taking π common)


⇒ Additional ground available = 273π




(22×273)/7


= 6006/7


= 858 cm2


The additional ground available is 858 cm2.



Question 23.

A horse is placed for grazing inside a rectangular field 70 m by 52 m. It is tethered to one corner by a rope 21 m long. On how much area can it graze? How much area is left ungrazed?


Answer:

Here the horse is tethered to one corner implies or means that the area available for grazing is a quadrant of radius 21 m. Now we need to find the area of this quadrant to find out the area available for grazing and then subtract it from the total area of the rectangular field to obtain the area left ungrazed.


Given length of rectangular field = ℓ = 70 m


Breadth of rectangular field = b = 52 m


∴ Area of the field = ℓ × b


⇒ Area of the field = 70×52


⇒ Area of the field = 3640 m2


We know in a rectangle all the angles are 90 degrees.


∴ Area available for grazing = area of quadrant



Where R = radius of circle & θ = central angle


Given R = 21 m and θ = 90°



Put the given values in the above equation,



(put π = 22/7)




= (22×63)/4


= 1386/4


⇒ Area available for grazing = 346.5 m2


Area left ungrazed = Area of field – Area available for grazing


⇒ Area left ungrazed = 3640 – 346.5


⇒ Area left ungrazed = 3293.5 m2


The area available for grazing is 346.5 m2 and area left ungrazed is 3293.5 m2.



Question 24.

A horse is tethered to one corner of a field which is in the shape of an equilateral triangle of side 12 m. If the length of the rope is 7 m, find the area of the field which the horse cannot graze. Take √3 = 1.732. Write the answer correct to 2 places of decimal.


Answer:

Here the horse is tethered to one corner implies or means that the area available for grazing is a sector of radius 21 m with central angle as 60 degrees as the field is in shape of equilateral triangle . Now we need to find the area of this sector to find out the area available for grazing and then subtract it from the total area of the triangular field to obtain the area left ungrazed.


Given the side of field = a = 12 m


∴ Area of field = Area of equilateral triangle





⇒ Area of field = 62.352 m2


We know in an equilateral triangle all the angles are 60 degrees.


∴ Area available for grazing = Area of the sector



Where R = radius of circle and θ = central angle of sector


Given R = 7 m and θ = 60°


Put the given values in the above equation,







⇒ Area available for grazing = 25.666 m2


Area that cannot be grazed = Area of field – Area available for grazing


⇒ Area that cannot be grazed = 62.352 – 25.666


⇒ Area that cannot be grazed = 36.686 m2


The area that cannot be grazed is 36.656 m2.



Question 25.

Four cows are tethered at the four corners of a square field of side 50 m such that each can graze the maximum unshared area. What area will be left ungrazed? [Take π = 3.14.]


Answer:

Here the 4 cows are tethered to each corner implies or means that the area available for grazing is a quadrant of radius 25 m with central angle as 60 degrees as the field is in shape of square . Now we need to find the area of this sector to find out the area available for grazing for all the cows and then subtract it from the total area of the square field to obtain the area left ungrazed.


The reason why we have taken the radius as 25 m is , basically we have considered that each cow is tethered to a rope which is equal to half of the side of the square as we had to maximize the area each cow gets to graze without sharing thus the maximum radius within which a cow can graze maximum unshared area is simply the half of the side of square.


Given the side of field which is in shape of square = a = 50 m


∴ Area of the field = Area of Square


⇒ Area of field = a2


⇒ Area of field = (502)


⇒ Area of field = 2500 m2


We know in an square all the angles are 90 degrees.


∴ Area available for grazing for one cow = area of sector/quadrant



Where R = radius of circle & θ = central angle of sector


Given R = 25 m & θ = 90°



Put the given values in the above equation,







⇒ Area available for grazing for one cow = 490.625 m2


⇒ Area available for 4 cows = 4 × Area available for one cow


⇒ Area available for 4 cows = 4 × 490.625


⇒ Area available for 4 cows = 1962.5 m2


Area left ungrazed = Area of field – Area available for grazing for 4 cows


⇒ Area that cannot be grazed = 2500 – 1962.5



⇒ Area that cannot be grazed = 537.5 m2


The area left ungrazed is 537.5 m2.



Question 26.

In the given figure, OPQR is a rhombus, three of whose vertices lie on a circle with centre O. If the area of the rhombus is 32√3 cm2, find the radius of the circle.



Answer:

Here in the given figure ‘O’ is the centre of circle on which three vertices of rhombus lie, this implies that OP, OR are both radius of the circle. Also we know that in rhombus all the 4 sides are equal in length. Thus OP, OR, PQ, RQ, they all are radii of circle. Also OQ is equal to radius of circle. Now rhombus being a parallelogram therefore diagonal OQ will divide the rhombus into two equal halves this means that the area of triangle OQR will be equal to half of the area of rhombus. Also we can see that triangle OQR is an equilateral triangle and hence we can easily calculate its area in terms of radius of circle and equate it to half of the area of rhombus and calculate the radius of given circle.



Let the radius of the circle = x cm


Now join OQ



Consider ∆OQR,


OQ = OR = RQ = x cm


⇒ ∆OQR is an equilateral triangle



Where a = side of equilateral triangle


Also we know OQ is a diagonal of rhombus OPQR and as in a parallelogram diagonal divides it into two equal area or halves , similarly OQ is also dividing the rhombus into two equal areas therefore,


⇒ Area of ∆OQR = Area of ∆OPQ → eqn2


Area of OPQR = Area of ∆OQR + Area of ∆OPQ


Area of OPQR = 2 × Area of ∆OQR (from eqn2) → eqn3


Put the values of area of OPQR and equation 1 in equation 3









As every quadratic equation has two roots, similarly x2 = 64 also have two roots i.e. x = 8 and x = -8. As we know that ‘x’ represents radius of circle therefore it cannot be a negative value, hence we discard the negative root.


Therefore radius of the circle = x = 8 cm.


The radius of circle is 8 cm.



Question 27.

The side of a square is 10 cm. Find

(i) The area of the inscribed circle, and

(ii) The area of the circumscribed circle. [Take π = 3.14.]


Answer:

(i)


Consider the above figure, Join PR,


Now PR = Diameter of the inscribed circle


Also, PR = BC = 10 cm.


So, PR = 10 cm




⇒ r = 5 cm


∴ Area of inscribed circle = πr2 (put value of r in this equation)


⇒ Area of inscribed circle = π(52)




⇒ Area of inscribed circle = 78.57 cm2


The area of inscribed circle is 78.57 cm2.


(ii)


Consider the above figure, O is the centre of circle and ABCD is a square inscribed. Now OB and OD are radii of circle.


Consider ∆DBC right angled at c (as C is a vertex of square)


∴ Apply Pythagoras theorem in triangle DBC


Hypotenuse2 = Perpendicular2 + Base2


In triangle DBC, hypotenuse = DB,


perpendicular = BC and


base = DC



Put the values of BC and DC i.e. 10 cm



⟹ BD2 = 200


⟹ BD = √200


⟹ BD = 10√2 cm


Now radius of circle = half of BD



⟹ r = (10√2)/2


⟹ r = 5√2 cm


Hence Area of circumscribing circle = πr2


⟹ Area of circumscribing circle = 3.14×5√2×5√2


(put π = 3.14 and r = 5√2 cm)


⇒ Area of circumscribing circle = 3.14 × 50


⇒ Area of circumscribing circle = 157 cm2


Area of circumscribing circle is 157 cm2.



Question 28.

If a square is inscribed in a circle, find the ratio of the areas of the circle and the square.


Answer:

Consider the figure shown below where O is centre of circle, join BC which passes through O, let the side of square be ‘a’ and radius of circle be ‘r’.


Now we know OB and OC are radius of circle


So, OB = OC = r



Consider ∆BDC right angled at D




And we know BC = OC + OB


BC = 2r and BD = DC = a (put these values in eqn1)


⇒ (2r)2 = a2 + a2


⇒ 4r2 = 2a2




Area of inscribed square = side × side


Areaa of inscribed square = a × a


Area of inscribed square = a2→ eqn3


Area of circumscribing circle = πR2 where R = radius of circle


⇒ Area of circumscribing circle = πr2→ eqn4



Put the values from equation 3 & 4 in above equation




(from eqn 2)



So, Ratio is π : 2


The ratio is π:2



Question 29.

The area of a circle inscribed in an equilateral triangle is 154 cm2. Find the perimeter of the triangle. [Take √3 = 1.73.]


Answer:


Consider the figure shown above, AF, BE and CD are perpendicular bisector.


Now we know that the point at which all three perpendiculars meet is called incentre, so O is the incentre, thus O divides all three perpendiculars in a ratio 2:1.


Let AB = BC = CA = a cm


Therefore let AF = h cm


⟹ ∠AFC = 90° and OF = 1/3 × AF


⟹ OF = h/3 cm (putting value of OF)


⇒ h = 3×OF → eqn1


And we can see from figure that OF = radius of circle


Now let radius of circle be = r cm


∴ Area of circle = πR2


where R = radius of circle


Given area of circle = 154 cm 2


⇒ πr2 = 154




⟹ r2 = 49


⇒ r = 7 cm


Therefore OF = 7 cm


⇒ h = 3×7 (from eqn 1)


⇒ h = 21 cm


we know area of an equilateral triangle =


where a = side of triangle


Also, Area of triangle = 1/2 ×base×height


Equating both the areas we get,



Put the values of BC and AF




(putting value of h = 21 cm)




(rationalize it)




⟹ a = 14√3 cm


∴ Perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3×side of triangle


⟹ Perimeter of ∆ ABC = 3×14√3 (put √3 = 1.73)


⇒ Perimeter of ∆ABC = 42×1.73


⇒ Perimeter of ∆ABC = 72.66 cm


The perimeter of triangle is 72.66 cm



Question 30.

The radius of the wheel of a vehicle is 42 cm. How many revolutions will it complete in a 19.8-km-long journey?


Answer:

In one revolution a wheel will cover a distance equal to its circumference, so in order to find the number of revolutions we have to first calculate the circumference of the wheel and then divide it with the total distance covered to find out the total number of revolutions


Given radius of wheel = r = 42 cm


Circumference of wheel = 2πR where R = radius of the wheel


= 2π(42) (putting value of r)



Therefore distance covered in one revolution = 264 cm


Total distance covered = 19.8 km = 1980000 cm


Total number of revolutions = n


Distance covered on 1 revolution ×no. of revolutions = Total distance


264×n = 1980000



⇒ n = 7500


Total number of revolutions is 7500.



Question 31.

The wheels of the locomotive of a train are 2.1 m in radius. They make 75 revolutions in one minute. Find the speed of the train in km per hour.


Answer:

Given radius of wheel = R = 2.1m


Number of revolutions in one minute = 75


Number of revolutions in 1 hour = 75×60


Number of revolutions in 1 hour = 45000


Distance covered in one revolution = Circumference of wheel


Distance covered in 1 revolution = 2πR (where R = radius of wheel)


Distance covered n 1 revolution = 2π(2.1)



= 13.2 m


So, distance covered in 4500 revolutions = 4500×distance covered in 1


Distance covered in 4500 revolution = 4500× 13.2


Distance covered in 4500 revolutions = 59400 m = 59.4 km


∴ Distance covered in 1 hour = 59.4 km


Hence speed of the locomotive = 59.4 km/hr


The speed of locomotive is 59.4 km/hr



Question 32.

The wheels of a car make 2500 revolutions in covering a distance of 4.95 km. Find the diameter of a wheel.


Answer:

Let the diameter of the wheel be ‘d’ cm


Total distance covered in 250 revolutions = 49.5 km = 495000 m



⇒ Distance covered in one revolution = 198 cm → eqn1


Also, Distance covered in one revolution = circumference of wheel


∴ Distance covered in one revolution = πD where d = diameter of wheel



Equate equation 1 and 2 we get,




⟹ d = 9×7


⟹ d = 63 cm


The diameter of the wheel is 63 cm.



Question 33.

A boy is cycling in such a way that the wheels of his bicycle are making 140 revolutions per minute. If the diameter of a wheel is 60 cm, calculate the speed (in km/h) at which the boy is cycling.


Answer:

Given diameter of wheel = d = 60 cm


Number of revolutions in one minute = 140


Number of revolutions in one hour = 140×60


Number of revolutions in one hour = 8400


Distance covered in one revolution = circumference of wheel


⇒ Distance covered in one revolution = πd



= 188.57 cm


Distance covered in one hour = Distance in 1 revolution × no. of revolutions


⇒ Total distance covered in one hour = 188.57× 8400


⇒ Total distance covered in one hour = 1583988 cm = 15.839 km


∴ speed with which boy is cycling = 15.839 km/hr


The speed with which boy is cycling is 15.839 km/hr



Question 34.

The diameter of the wheels of a bus is 140 cm. How many revolutions per minute do the wheels make when the bus is moving at a speed of 72.6 km per hour?


Answer:

Given diameter of wheel of bus = d = 140 cm



Speed of bus = 72.6 km/hr


∴ Distance covered by bus in one hour = 72.6 km = 7260000 cm



Distance covered in one minute = 121000 cm → eqn1


Let the number of revolutions made by wheel per minute = x


Distance covered by wheel in one revolution = circumference of wheel = 2πR


Distance covered by wheel in one revolution = 2π(70)


(putting value of R)




= 2×22×10 = 440 cm


∴ Total distance = No. of revolution× Distance covered in1 revolution


On putting the required values we get,


121000 = 440×(x)



⇒ x = 275


Number of revolutions made per minute is 275.



Question 35.

The diameters of the front and rear wheels of a tractor are 80 cm and 2 m respectively. Find the number of revolutions that a rear wheel makes to cover the distance which the front wheel covers in 800 revolutions.


Answer:

Given diameter of front wheel = d = 80 cm


so, Radius of front wheel = r = d/2 = 80/2 = 40 cm


Diameter of rear wheel = D = 2 m = 200 cm



Distance covered by wheel in 1 revolution = Circumference of wheel


⇒ Distance covered by front wheel = 2πr = 2π(40)


⇒ Distance covered by front wheel = 80π


∴ Distance covered by front wheel in 800 revolutions = 80π×800


⇒ Distance covered by front wheel in 800 revolutions = 6400π → eqn1


Similarly


⇒ Distance covered by rear wheel = 2πR = 2π(100)


⇒ Distance covered by rear wheel = 200π → eqn2


Let the number of revolutions made by rear wheel to cover 6400π cm be “x”


∴ (x)×200π = 6400π (from eqn1 and eqn2)



⟹ x = 64000/200


⇒ x = 320


Number of revolution made by rear wheel to cover the distance covered by front wheel in 800 revolutions is 320.



Question 36.

Four equal circles are described about the four corners of a square so that each touches two of the others, as shown in the figure. Find the area of the shaded region, if each side of the square measures 14 cm.



Answer:

Here the distance between the center of circles touching each other is equal to the side of the square. Therefore, we can say that the radius of ach circle is equal to the half of the side of the square. Now by simply calculating the area of the 4 quadrants and then subtracting it from the area of the square we can easily calculate the area of the shaded region.


Given side of square = a = 14 cm


Central angle of each sector formed at corner = θ = 90°


So, radius of 4 equal circles = r = a/2 = 14/2


∴ Radius of 4 circles = r = 7 cm



where R = radius of circle






⇒ Area of all 4 quadrants = 49π → eqn2


Also, Area of square = side×side = a×a = a2 = 142 (putting value of side of square)


⇒ Area of square = 196 cm2→ eqn3


∴ Area of shaded region = Area of square – Area of all 4 quadrants


⇒ Area of shaded region = 196 – 49π (fromeqn3 and eqn2)



= 196 – (7×22)


= 196 – 154


= 42 cm2


The area of shaded region is 42 cm2.



Question 37.

Four equal circles, each of radius 5 cm, touch each other, as shown in the figure. Find the area included between them. [Take π = 3.14]



Answer:

Here, first we join the center of all adjacent circles then the distance between the center of circles touching each other is equal to the side of the square formed by joining the center of adjacent circles. Therefore, we can say that the side of the square equal to the twice of the radius of circle. Now by simply calculating the area of the 4 quadrants and then subtracting it from the area of the square we can easily calculate the area of the shaded region.


Given radius of each circle = r = 5 cm


Central angle of each sector formed at corner = θ = 90°


Side of square ABCD = a = 2×r = 2×5 = 10 cm



where R = radius of circle



(putting value of r and θ)



Area of all 4 quadrants = 4×Area of one quadrant



⇒ Area of all 4 quadrants = 25π → eqn2


Area of square = side×side = a×a = a2


⇒ Area of square = 102 (putting value of side of square)


⇒ Area of square = 100 cm2→ eqn3


Area of shaded region = Area of square – Area of all 4 quadrants


Area of shaded region = 100 – 25π (from eqn3 and eqn2)


= 100 – (25×3.14) (put π = 3.14)


= 100 – 78.5


= 21.5 cm2


The area of shaded region is 21.5 cm2.



Question 38.

Four equal circles, each of radius a units, touch each other. Show that the area between them is sq units.


Answer:


Here, first we join the centre of all adjacent circles then the distance between the centre of circles touching each other is equal to the side of the square formed by joining the centre of adjacent circles. Therefore, we can say that the side of the square equal to the twice of the radius of circle. Now by simply calculating the area of the 4 quadrants and then subtracting it from the area of the square we can easily calculate the area of the shaded region.


Given radius of each circle = “a” units


Central angle of each sector formed at corner = θ = 90°


Side of square ABCD = 2×a units



where R = radius of circle




∴ Area all 4 quadrants = 4×Area of one quadrant



= πa2 sq. units → eqn2


Area of square = side×side = 2a×2a = 4a2


⇒ Area of square = 4a2 sq. units → eqn3


Area of shaded region = Area of square – Area of all 4 quadrants


⇒ Area of shaded region = 4a2 – πa2 (from eqn3 and eqn2)








Question 39.

Three equal circles, each of radius 6 cm, touch one another as shown in the figure. Find the area enclosed between them. [Take π = 3.14 and √3 = 1.732.]


Answer:


Consider the above figure,


Here, first we join the center of all adjacent circles then the distance between the center of circles touching each other is equal to the side of an equilateral triangle formed by joining the center of adjacent circles. Therefore, we can say that the side of the equilateral triangle is equal to the twice of the radius of circle. Now by simply calculating the area of the 3 sectors and then subtracting it from the area of the equilateral triangle we can easily calculate the area of the enclosed region.


Given radius of each circle = r = 6 cm


Central angle of each sector = θ = 60° (∵ ∆ABC is equilateral)


Side of equilateral ∆ABC = a = 2×r = 2×6


∴ Side of equilateral ∆ABC = a = 12 cm





⇒ Area of one sector = 6π cm2→ eqn1


Area of all the 3 sector = 3×Area of one sector


= 3×6π (from eqn1)


= 18π cm2→ eqn2





Area of enclosed region = Area of equilateral ∆ABC – Area of all 3 sectors


⟹ Area of enclosed region = 36√3-18π (from eqn 3 and eqn 2)


⟹ Area of enclosed region = (36×1.732)-(18×3.14)


(put π = 3.14 &√3 = 1.732)


= 62.352 - 56.52


= 5.832 cm2


The area of enclosed region is 5.832 cm2.



Question 40.

If three circles of radius a each, are drawn such that each touches the 4 other two, prove that the area included between them is equal to [Take √3 = 1.73 and π = 3.14.]


Answer:

Consider the figure shown below

Here, first we join the center of all adjacent circles then the distance between the center of circles touching each other is equal to the side of an equilateral triangle formed by joining the center of adjacent circles. Therefore, we can say that the side of the equilateral triangle is equal to the twice of the radius of circle. Now by simply calculating the area of the 3 sectors and then subtracting it from the area of the equilateral triangle we can easily calculate the area of the enclosed region.

Given radius of each circle = “a” units

Central angle of each sector = θ = 60° (∵ ∆ABC is equilateral)

Side of equilateral ∆ABC = 2×a units

∴ Area of all 3sectors = 3×Area of one sector

Area of enclosed region = Area of equilateral ∆ABC – Area of all 3 sectors

⟹ Area of enclosed region

(taking a2 common)


Question 41.

In the given figure, ABCD is a trapezium of area 24.5 cm2. If AD || BC, ∠DAB = 90°, AD = 10 cm, BC = 4 cm, and ABE is quadrant of a circle then find the area of the shaded region.


Answer:

Here in order to find the area of the shaded region we have to calculate the area, or the quadrant shown and subtract it from the area of the trapezium. And in order to find the area of the quadrant we have to calculate the radius of the sector EAB by the area of trapezium.


Given Area of trapezium ABCD = 24.5 cm2 → eqn1


AD ∥ BC, AD = 10 cm, BC = 4 cm, ∠DAB = 90°




Putting the values in equation 2, we get,






⇒ AB = 3.5 cm


Therefore radius of the sector EAB = r = 3.5 cm







⇒ Area of the quadrant EAB = 9.625 cm2 → eqn3


∴ Area of shaded region = Area of trapezium – Area of quadrant EAB


⇒ Area of shaded region = 24.5 – 9.625 (putting values from eqn1 and eqn3)


⇒ Area of shaded region = 14.875 cm2



Question 42.

ABCD is a field in the shape of a trapezium, AD || BC, ∠ABC = 90° and ∠ADC = 60°. Four sectors are formed with centres A, B, C and D, as shown in the figure. The radius of each sector is 14 m.



Find the following:

(i) total area of the four sectors,

(ii) area of the remaining portion, given that AD = 55 m, BC = 45 m and AB = 30 m.


Answer:

Here in order to find the area of the shaded region we have to calculate the area, or the quadrant shown and subtract it from the area of the trapezium. And in order to find the area of the quadrant we have to calculate the radius of the sector EAB by the area of trapezium.


Given AB = 30 m, AD = 55 m, BC = 45 m


θA = 90°, θB = 90°, θC = 120°, θD = 60°


Radius of each sector = r = 14 m


(i) total area of 4 sectors






Area of sector at corner A = 49π m2→ eqn2


As we know that central angle at A and B are both 90 degrees and radius is also same i.e. 14 m therefore the area of the sector at B will be exactly same as that of sector at A.


∴ Area of sector at corner B = Area of sector at corner A


⇒ Area of sector at corner B = 49π → eqn3


Similarly,





Area of sector at corner C = 65.33π m2→ eqn4


Similarly,





Area of sector at corner D = 32.67π → eqn5


Total area of 4 sectors = eqn2 + eqn3 + eqn4 + eqn5


⇒ Total area of 4 sectors = 49π + 49π + 65.33π + 32.67π


⇒ Total area of 4 sectors = 196π




∴ Total area of 4 sectors = 616 m2


Total area of 4 sectors is 616 m2.


(ii) Area of the remaining portion


Here in order to find the area of the remaining portion of the trapezium we have to subtract the area of the 4 sectors from the area of the trapezium.




On putting the values,


Area of trapezium



= 50×30


Area of trapezium = 1500 m2→ eqn1


Area of remaining portion = Area of trapezium – Area of the 4 sectors


⇒ Area of remaining portion = 1500 – 616 (from eqn1 and part (i))


∴ Area of remaining portion = 884 m2


The area of the remaining portion is 884 m2.



Question 43.

Find the area of the shaded region in the given figure, where a circular arc of radius 6 cm has been drawn with vertex of an equilateral triangle of side 12 cm as centre and a sector of circle of radius 6 cm with centre B is made. [Use √3 = 1.73 and π = 3.14.]



Answer:

Area of shaded region can be calculated by subtracting the area of minor sector at vertex B from the sum of areas of the major sector at O and area of equilateral triangle.


Given Radius of circle at O = r = 6 cm


Side of equilateral triangle = a = 12 cm


Central angle at O = 360 -60 = 300°


Central angle at B = 60°


Area of the equilateral triangle =


where a = side of equilateral triangle


Area of the equilateral triangle = (putting the value of a)


Area of the equilateral triangle = (144×√3)/4


Area of the equilateral triangle = 36√3 cm2 → eqn1


Area of sector = θ/360×πR2 where r = radius of the sector


Area of minor sector at B = 60/360×π×(62) (given)


∴ Area of minor sector at B = 6π cm2→ eqn2


Similarly,



∴ Area of major sector at O = 30π cm2→ eqn3


Area of shaded region = eqn1 + eqn3 – eqn2


On putting values


⇒ Area of shaded region = 36√3 + 30π-6π


Area of shaded region = 36√3 + 24π


(put π = 3.14 and √3 = 1.73


∴ Area of shaded region = (36×1.73) + (24×3.14)


⇒ Area of shaded region = 62.28 + 75.36


∴ Area of shaded region = 137.64 cm2


Area of the shaded region is 137.64 cm2.



Question 44.

In the given figure, ABCD is a rectangle with AB = 80 cm and BC = 70 cm, ∠AED = 90° and DE = 42 cm. A semicircle is drawn, taking BC as diameter. Find the area of the shaded region.



Answer:

Here in order to find the area of the shaded region we have to subtract the area of the semicircle and the triangle from the area of the rectangle.


Given AB = 80 cm, BC = 70 cm, DE = 42 cm, ∠AED = 90°


Here we see that the triangle AED is right angle triangle, therefore, we can apply Pythagoras theorem i.e.


H2 = P2 + B2 (pythagoras theorem)


AD2 = DE2 + AE2


⇒ 702 = 422 + AE2 (putting the given values)


⇒ 4900 = 1764 + AE2


⇒ 4900 – 1764 = AE2


⇒ 3136 = AE2


AE = √3136


∴ AE = 56 cm


Area of ∆AED = 1/2×AE×DE


(Area of triangle = 1/2×base×height)


On putting values we get,


Area of ∆AED = 1/2×56×42


⇒ Area of ∆AED = 28×42


∴ Area of ∆AED = 1176 cm2→ eqn1




R = 35 cm




⇒ Area of semicircle = 11×175


∴ Area of semicircle = 1925 cm2→ eqn2


Area of rectangle = ℓ×b (ℓ = length of rectangle, b = breadth of rectangle)


⇒ Area of rectangle = 80×70 = 5600 cm2→ eqn3


Area of shaded region = Area of rectangle – Area of semicircle – Area of ∆


⇒ Area of shaded region = 5600 -1925 – 1176 (fromeqn1, eqn2 and eqn3)


∴ Area of shaded region = 2499 cm2


Area of the shaded region is 2499 cm2.



Question 45.

In the given figure, from a rectangular region ABCD with AB = 20 cm, a right triangle AED with AE = 9 cm and DE = 12 cm, is cut off. On the other end, taking BC as diameter, a semicircle is added on outside the region. Find the area of the shaded region. [Use π = 3.14.]



Answer:

Here in order to find the area of the shaded region (region excluding the triangle) we have to subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the rectangle and then add the area of the semicircle.


Given AB = 20 cm, DE = 12 cm, AE = 9 cm and ∠AED = 90°


Here we see that the triangle AED is right angle triangle, therefore, we can apply Pythagoras theorem i.e.




AD2 = DE2 + AE2


AD2 = 122 + 92 (putting given values)


⇒ AD2 = 144 + 81


⇒ AD2 = 225


⇒ AD = √225


∴ AD = 15 cm


Area of ∆AED = 1/2×AE×DE


(Area of triangle = 1/2×base×height)


On putting values we get,



⇒ Area of ∆AED = 9×6


∴ Area of ∆AED = 54 cm2→ eqn1



Here radius of semicircle = BC/2 = 15/2


⇒ R = 7.5 cm




⇒ Area of semicircle = 1.07×56.25


∴ Area of semicircle = 88.3125 cm2→ eqn2


Area of rectangle = ℓ×b


(ℓ = length of rectangle, b = breadth of rectangle)


⇒ Area of rectangle = 20×15


(putting the values of ℓ & b)


∴ Area of rectangle = 300 cm2→ eqn3


Area of shaded region = Area of rectangle + Area of semicircle – Area of ∆


⇒ Area of shaded region = 300 + 88.3125 – 53 (from eqn1, eqn2, eqn3)


∴ Area of shaded region = 334.3125 cm2


Area of shaded region is 334.3125 cm2.



Question 46.

In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle with AC = 24 cm, AB = 7 cm and ∠BOD = 90°. Find the area of shaded region. [Use π = 3.14.]



Answer:

Here in order to find the area of the shaded region (region excluding the area of segment AC and quadrant OCD) can be calculated by subtracting the area of triangle and quadrant OBD from the area of the circle.


Given AC = 24 cm, AB = 7 cm and ∠BOD = 90°


Here we see that the triangle ACB is right angle triangle, therefore, we can apply Pythagoras theorem i.e.



BC2 = AC2 + AB2


⇒ BC2 = 242 + 72 (putting the given values)


⇒ BC2 = 576 + 49


⇒ BC2 = 625


BC = √625


∴ BC = 25 cm


Area of ∆ACB = 1/2×AB×AC (Area of triangle = 1/2×base×height)


On putting values we get,



⇒ Area of ∆AED = 7×12


∴ Area of ∆AED = 84 cm2→ eqn1


Area of circle = πR2 (R = radius of circle)



⇒ R = 12.5 cm


∴ Area of circle = π× 12.52


⇒ Area of circle = 156.25×3.14 (put π = 3.14)


∴ Are of circle = 490.625 cm2→ eqn2





⇒ Area of quadrant OBD = 122.65625 cm2→ eqn3


Area of shaded region = Area of circle – Area of quadrant – Area of ∆


⇒ Area of shaded region = 490.625 – 84 – 122.65625 (from eqn1, 2 and 3)


⇒ Area of shaded region = 283.96875 cm2


Area of shaded region is 283.96875 cm2.



Question 47.

In the given figure, a circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle ABC of side 12 cm. Find the radius of inscribed circle and the area of the shaded region. [Use √3 = 1.73 and π = 3.14.]



Answer:

Here we will draw median from all the vertices of the equilateral triangle and the point at which they intersect will be the incircle of the triangle and that will be the centre of the circle. Thenwith the help of which we will find out the height of the triangle and subsequently the radius of the circle and ultimately the area of the shaded region (region of equilateral triangle excluding the area of circle inscribed).



As AD = BF = CE = h


Consider ∆ADB, ∠ADB = 90°, BD = 6 cm



122 = AD2 + 62 (putting the given values)


144 = AD2 + 36


144 – 36 = AD2


AD2 = 108






We also know that a point O will divide each median in a ratio of 2:1






Area of the circle = πr2



∴ Area of the circle = 12π cm2→ eqn1






Area of shaded region = area of triangle – area of circle



⇒ Area of the shaded region = (36×1.73) – (12×3.14)


⇒ Area of the shaded region = 62.28 -37.68


∴ Area of the shaded region = 24.6 cm2




Question 48.

On a circular table cover of radius 42 cm, a design is formed by a girl leaving an equilateral triangle ABC in the middle, as shown in the figure. Find the covered area of the design. [Use √3 = 1.73]



Answer:

Here we will first find the sides of equilateral triangle ant then subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the circle.


Given radius of circle = r = 42 cm


∴ Area of the circle = πR2, where R = radius of the circle


⇒ Area of the circle = π(422)



⇒ Area of the circle = 22×252


∴ Area of the circle = 5544 cm2→ eqn1



Consider the figure shown,


In ∆ABD, ∠ADB = 90°



Let the sides of the equilateral triangle = a cm


And as we know AD is a median therefore it will bisect the side BC into two equal parts i.e.


BD = DC → eqn3


Also, BC = BD + DC


⇒ BC = BD + BD (from eqn3)


⇒ a = 2BD (BC = a)










Now, we also know that the point ‘O’ which is the intersection of all the three medians i.e. centroid of the triangle. Also we know that the centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1.



Also, we know AO = radius = r = 42 cm




⇒ AD = 63 cm


Putting the value in equation 4,













Area of covered by design = Area of circle – Area of triangle ABC




⇒ Area covered by design = 5544 – 2288.79


∴ Area covered by design = 3255.21 cm2


Area covered by design is 3255.21 cm2.



Question 49.

The perimeter of the quadrant of a circle is 25 cm. Find its area.


Answer:

We know perimeter of a sector = Length of its arc + 2R → eqn1


Where R = radius of the sector.


Perimeter = 25 cm



θ = 90°











⇒ R = 7 cm → eqn2







∴ Area of the quadrant = 38.5 cm2


Area of the quadrant is 38.5 cm 2.



Question 50.

A chord of a circle of radius 10 cm subtends a right angle at the centre. Find the area of the minor segment. [Use π = 3.14.]


Answer:

Given the radius of the circle = 42 cm

Central angle of the sector = θ = 90°

Area of the minor segment = Area of sector – area of the right angle triangle

⇒ Area of the sector = 25×3.14

∴ Area of the sector = 78.5 cm2→ eqn1

∴ Area of triangle = 50 cm2→ eqn2

Area of the minor segment = 78.5 – 50 (from eqn1, eqn2)

∴ Area of the minor segment = 28.5 cm2

Area of the minor segment is 28.5 cm2.


Question 51.

The radius of a circular garden is 100 m. There is a road 10 m wide, running all around it. Find the area of the road and the cost of levelling it at Rs. 20 per m2. [Use π = 3.14.]


Answer:


Here we will first find out the area of the road running around the circular garden and then multiplying it with rate per square meter to calculate the cost of leveling.


Here we see in the figure there are two concentric circles so,


Area of road = Area of outer circle- Area of circular garden


Area of circle = πR2 (where R = radius of circle) → eqn1


Let the radius of inner circle = r = 100 m


Also, radius of outer circle = R = 110 m (R = r + 10)


Area of outer circle = π(110)2→ eqn2 (putting R in eqn1)


Area of inner circle = π(100)2→ eqn2 (putting r in eqn1)


∴ Area of road = π(110)2 – π(100)2 (from eqn2 and 3)


⇒ Area of road = π(12100 – 10000)


⇒ Area of road = 2100 π (put π = 3.14)


⇒ Area of road = 2100×3.14


∴ Area of road = 6594 m2


Cost of leveling = Rate of leveling × Area of road


⇒ Cost of leveling = 20×6594


∴ Cost of leveling = Rs.131880


Area of road is 6594 m2 and cost of leveling is Rs.131880.



Question 52.

The area of an equilateral triangle is 49√3 cm2. Taking each angular point as centre, circles are drawn with radius equal to half the length of the side of the triangle. Find the area of the triangle not included in the circles. [Take √3 = 1.73.]


Answer:



Each angle of triangle = θ = 60°


Area of triangle not included in circles = Area of triangle – Area of all sectors


Area of all 3 sectors area equal as all the three circles are having same radius which is equal to the half of the side of the equilateral triangle.


Let the side of equilateral triangle be = a cm







⇒ a = 7×2


⇒ a = 14 cm


So radius of the circles = 7 cm









∴ Area of all 3 sectors = 77 cm2→ eqn1



Area of triangle not included = (49×1.73) - 77


⇒ Area of triangle not included = 84.77 – 77


∴ Area of triangle not included = 7.77 cm2


Area of triangle not included in circles is 7.77 cm2.



Question 53.

A child draws the figure of an aeroplane as shown. Here, the wings ABCD and FGHI are parallelograms, the tail DEF is an isosceles triangle, the cockpit CKI is a semicircle and CDFI is a square. In the given figure, BP ⊥ CD, HQ ⊥ FI and EL ⊥ DF. If CD = 8 cm, BP = HQ = 4 cm and DE = EF = 5 cm, find the area of the whole figure. [Take π = 3.14.]



Answer:

Area of whole figure = ar || ABCD + ar || FGHI + ar DCIF + ar ∆DEF + area semicircle


CD = 8 cm, BP = HQ = 4 cm, DE = EF = 5 cm, CI = 8 cm


ar ∥ ABCD = ar ∥ FGHI = base × height


ar ∥ ABCD = ar ∥ FGHI = BP×DC


ar ∥ ABCD = ar ∥ FGHI = 4×8


ar ∥ ABCD = ar ∥ FGHI = 32 cm2→ eqn1 and eqn2


ar DCIF = area of square = side×side


ar DCIF = DC×CI


ar DCIF = 8×8


ar DCIF = 64 cm2→ eqn3


Consider ∆DEF, EF⊥DF and ∆DEF is isosceles


So, FL = LD




FL = LD = 4 cm


In ∆DEL, ∠DLE = 90°



52 = EL2 + 42 (putting the values)


25 = EL2 + 16


25 – 16 = EL2


⇒ EL2 = 9



∴ EL = 3 cm





⇒ Area of ∆DEF = 4×3


∴ Area of ∆DEF = 12 cm2→ eqn4



R = 4 cm




⇒ Area of semicircle = 3.14×8


∴ Area of semicircle = 25.12 cm2→ eqn5


Area of whole figure = eqn1 + eqn2 + eqn3 + eqn4 + eqn5


⇒ Area of whole figure = 32 + 32 + 64 + 12 + 25.12


∴ Area of whole figure = 165.12 cm2


Area of the whole figure is 165.12 cm 2.



Question 54.

A circular disc of radius 6 cm is divided into three sectors with central angles 90°, 120° and 150°. What part of the whole circle is the sector with central angle150°? Also, calculate the ratio of the areas of the three sectors.


Answer:

θ1 = 90° θ2 = 120°, θ3 = 150°


Radius of circle = r = 6 cm



Area of circle = πR2


⇒ Area of circle = π×62


⇒ Area of circle = 36π → eqn2







Also, Area of sector (θ3) = 15π cm2




Area of sector (θ2) = 12π cm2→ eqn3




Area of sector (θ1) = 9π cm2→ eqn4


Ratio of three sectors ∷ 9π:12π:15π


Ratio of three sectors ∷ 3:4:5




Question 55.

A round table cover has six equal designs as shown in the given figure. If the radius of the cover is 35 cm then find the total area of the design. [Use √3 = 1.732 and π = 3.14.]



Answer:

Total area of design = Area of all the minor segments


Here we will find out the area of one segment and then multiply it with 6 to get the total area of design. And as the figure inscribed in the circle is a regular hexagon this implies that it will be having all edges of same length. Therefore we can say that the angle subtended by each chord which are actually the edges of regular hexagon are equal(theorem).


Let angle subtended by chord AB on centre O be θ



∴ Angle subtended = θ = 60°


Radius of circle = 35 cm









Area of minor segment OAB = Area of sector – Area of ∆OAB





Area of minor segment OAB = 641.0833333 – 530.425


∴ Area of minor segment OAB = 110.6583333 cm2→ eqn2


Total area of design = 6 × Area of minor segment OAB


⇒ Total area of design = 6×110.6583333 (from eqn2)


∴ Total area of design = 663.95 cm2


Total area of design is 663.95 cm2.



Question 56.

In the given figure, PQ = 24 cm, PR = 7 cm and 0 is the centre of the circle. Find the area of the shaded region. [Take π = 3.14.]



Answer:

Here we will subtract the area of right angle triangle PQR and semicircle from the area of entire circle.


Given PQ = 24 cm, PR = 7 cm


Consider ∆PQR, ∠QPR = 90°



RQ2 = 242 + 72


⇒ RQ2 = 576 + 49


⇒ RQ2 = 625




Therefore Radius of the circle = half of RQ


Let radius be ‘r’



∴ r = 12.5 cm





Area of ∆PQR = 7×12


∴ Area of ∆PQR = 84 cm2→ eqn1





∴ Area of semicircle = 245.3125 cm2→ eqn2


Area of circle = πr2


Area of circle = π(12.52)


⇒ Area of circle = 3.14×156.25 (putting π = 3.14)


∴ Area of circle = 490.625 cm2→ eqn3


Area of shaded region = eqn3 – eqn2 – eqn1


⇒ Area of shaded region = 490.625 – 245.3125 – 84


∴ Area of shaded region = 161.3125 cm2


Area of shaded region is 161.3125 cm2.



Question 57.

In the given figure, ΔABC is right-angled at A. Find the area of the shaded region if AB = 6 cm, BC = 10 cm and 0 is the centre of the incircle of ΔABC. [Take π = 3.14.]



Answer:

Given AB = 6 cm, BC = 10 cm


Consider ∆ABC, ∠BAC = 90°



⇒ 102 = 62 + AC2 (putting given values)


⇒ 100 = 36 + AC2


⇒ 100 – 36 = AC2


⇒ AC2 = 64



∴ AC = 8 cm



Join OB, OA, OC, OE, OF, OD


Here OE = OF = OD = radius of circle = r cm


∠OEC = ∠ODB = ∠OFB = 90° (angle at the point of contact of radius & tangent)


Area ∆ABC = Area of ∆OAC + Area of ∆OCB + Area of ∆OAB → eqn1




∴ Area of ∆OAC = 4r → eqn2




∴ Area of ∆OCB = 5r → eqn3




∴ Area of ∆OAB = 3r → eqn4




⇒ Area of ∆ABC = 3×8


∴ Area of ∆ABC = 24 cm2→ eqn5


Putting all the values in equation we get;


⇒ 24 = 4r + 5r + 3r


⇒ 24 = 12r



∴ r = 2 cm


Area of circle = πr2


Put the value of r, we get,


⇒ Area of circle = π×22


⇒ Area of circle = 3.14×4 (putting π = 3.14)


∴ Area of circle = 12.56 cm2→ eqn6


Area of shaded region = Area of triangle – Area of circle


⇒ Area of shaded region = 24 – 12.56 (from eqn5 and eqn6)


∴ Area of shaded region = 11.44 cm2


Area of shaded region is 11.44 cm2.



Question 58.

In the given figure, ΔABC is right-angled at A. Semicircles are drawn on AB, AC and BC as diameters. It is given that AB = 3 cm and AC = 4 cm. Find the area of the shaded region.



Answer:

Here we will first find out the area of semicircle whose diameter is BC and then subtract the area of right angle triangle ABC from it and then we will subtract this result from the area of semicircles whose diameters are AB and AC.


Consider ∆ABC, ∠BAC = 90°



⇒ BC2 = 42 + 32


⇒ BC2 = 16 + 9


⇒ BC2 = 25



∴ BC = 5 cm



Area of semicircle whose diameter is AC




∴ Radius = 2 cm



∴ Area of semicircle = 2π cm2 –eqn2


Area of semicircle whose diameter is AB




∴ Radius = 1.5 cm



∴ Area of semicircle = 1.125π cm2→ eqn3


Area of semicircle whose diameter is BC




∴ Radius = 2.5 cm



∴ Area of semicircle = 3.125π cm2→ eqn4




⇒ Area of triangle PQR = 3×2


∴ Area of triangle PQR = 6 cm2→ eqn5


Now subtract equation 5 from equation 4,


⇒ Area of semicircle excluding ∆ABC = eqn4 – eqn5


⇒ Area of semicircle excluding ∆ABC = 3.125π – 6






∴ Area of semicircle excluding ∆ABC = 3.8214 cm2→ eqn6


Area of shaded region = eqn3 + eqn2 – eqn6


⇒ Area of shaded region = 2π + 1.125π – 3.8214


⇒ Area of shaded region = 3.125π – 3.8214




⇒ Area of shaded region = 9.8214 – 3.8214


∴ Area of shaded region = 6 cm2


Area of shaded region 6 cm2.



Question 59.

PQRS is a diameter of a circle of radius 6 cm. The lengths PQ, QR and RS are equal. Semicircles are drawn with PQ and QS as diameters, as shown in the given figure. If PS = 12 cm, find the perimeter and area of the shaded region. [Take π = 3.14.]



Answer:

Here we will subtract the area of semicircle whose diameter is QS from the area of the semicircle whose diameter PS and add the area of semicircle whose diameter is PQ so as to find out the area of the shaded region.


Given PS = 12 cm


Radius of the circle = 6 cm


PQ = QR = RS


So let PQ = QR = RS = k cm


Also, PQ + QR + RS = PS


⇒ k + k + k = 12


⇒ 3k = 12



∴ k = 4 cm


So, PQ = QR = RS = 4 cm



Area and perimeter of semicircle whose diameter is PS




∴ Radius = 6 cm



∴ Area of semicircle = 18π cm2→ eqn2


Perimeter of semicircle = πr


⇒ Perimeter of semicircle = π×6


∴ Perimeter of semicircle = 6π cm → eqn3


Area of semicircle whose diameter is QS




⇒ Radius = 4 cm



∴ Area of semicircle = 8π cm2→ eqn4


Perimeter of semicircle = πr


⇒ Perimeter of semicircle = π×4


∴ Perimeter of semicircle = 4π cm → eqn5


Area of semicircle whose diameter is PQ




∴ Radius = 2 cm



∴ Area of semicircle = 2π cm2→ eqn6


Perimeter of semicircle = πr


⇒ Perimeter of semicircle = π×2


∴ Perimeter of semicircle = 2π cm → eqn7


Area of the shaded region = eqn2 – eqn4 + eqn6


Area of shaded region = 18π – 8π + 2π


⇒ Area of shaded region = 12π


⇒ Area of shaded region = 12×3.14 (putting π = 3.14)


∴ Area of shaded region = 37.68 cm2


Perimeter of shaded region = eqn3 – eqn5 + eqn7


⇒ Perimeter of shaded region = 6π -4π + 2π


⇒ Perimeter of shaded region = 4π


⇒ Perimeter of shaded region = 4×3.14 (put π = 3.14)


∴ Perimeter of shaded region = 12.56 cm


Perimeter of the shaded region is 12.56 cm and Area of shaded region is 37.68 cm2.



Question 60.

The inside perimeter of a running track shown in the figure is 400 m. The length of each of the straight portions is 90 m, and the ends are semicircles. If the track is 14 m wide everywhere, find the area of the track. Also, find the length of the outer boundary of the track.



Answer:

Consider the figure as a combination of two semicircles on the ends of the rectangle


Let the length of rectangle be ‘L’ m and breadth be ‘B’ cm


Given L = 90 m, W = 14 m


Perimeter of running track = 400 m


Perimeter of inside of running track = 2L + Arc of two semicircles → eqn1


Arc length of a semicircle = πr where r = radius


⇒ 400 = (2×90) + (2×πr) (putting values in eqn1)


⇒ 400 = 180 + 2πr


⇒ 400 – 180 = 2πr


⇒ 220 = 2πr





∴ r = 35 m


Area of inner of running track = Area of rectangle + 2×area of semicircles → eqn2


Area of rectangle = L×B


Here B = 2r


B = 70 m


⇒ Area of inner rectangle = 90×70


∴ Area of inner rectangle = 6300 m2→ eqn3




⇒ Area of inner semicircles = 1225π



⇒ Area of inner semicircle = 175×22


∴ Area of inner semicircle = 3850 m2→ eqn4


Area of inner of running track = 6300 + 3850 (from3&4)


∴ Area of inner of running track = 10150 m2


Now radius of semicircles of outer of the running track = R = r + W


⇒ R = 35 + 14


∴ R = 49 m




⇒ Area of outer semicircles = 2401π



⇒ Area of outer semicircles = 343×22


∴ Area of outer semicircle = 7546 m2→ eqn5


Breadth of outer running track = B’ = 2R


⇒ B’ = 2×49


∴ B’ = 98 m


Area of outer rectangle = L×B’


⇒ Area of outer rectangle = 90×98


∴ Area of outer rectangle = 8820 m2→ eqn6


Area of entire ground = 8820 + 7546 (from 5&6)


∴ Area of entire ground = 16366 m2


Area of running track = Area of entire ground – Area of inner ground


⇒ Area of running track = 16366 – 10150


∴ Area of running track = 6216 m2


Perimeter of outer boundary = 2L + Arc of outer semicircles


Arc length of an outer semicircle = πR, where R = outer radius



⇒ Perimeter of outer boundary = 180 + (2×22×7)


⇒ Perimeter of outer boundary = 180 + 308


∴ Perimeter of outer boundary = 488 m


Area of running track is 6216 m2 and perimeter of outer boundary is 488 m.

= 168 cm2



Question 15.

In the given figure, an equilateral triangle has been inscribed in a circle of radius 4 cm. Find the area of the shaded region. [Take π = 3.14 and √3 = 1.73]



Answer:


Radius of circle = R = 4 cm


OD perpendicular to AB is drawn


ΔABC is equilateral triangle,


∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°


∠OAD = 30°


OD/AO = sin 30°


AO = 4 cm



OD = 1/2 × 4 cm


OD = 2 cm


AD2 = OA2 – OD2


= 42 – 22 = 16 – 4 = 12 cm2


AD = 2√3 cm


AB = 2 × AD


= 2 × 2√3 cm = 4√3 cm


Area of triangle ABC = √3/4 × AB2


= √3/4 × 4√3 × 4√3


= 20.71 cm2


Area of circle = πR2


= 3.14 × 4 × 4 cm2

So, in 56 minutes, minute hand moves 56 × 6° = 336°


Area described by minute hand =


= 22/7 × 7.5 × 7.5 × 336°/360° cm2


= 165 cm2



Question 17.

A racetrack is in the form of a ring whose inner circumference is 352 m and outer circumference is 396 m. Find the width and the area of the track.


Answer:

Let the inner radius be R1 and outer radius be R2


Inner circumference = 2πR1 = 352 m


⇒ 2 × 22/7 × R1 = 352 m


⇒ R1 = 352 × 1/2 × 7/22


⇒ R1 = 56 m


Outer Circumference = 2πR2 = 396 m


⇒ 2 × 22/7 × R2 = 396 m


⇒ R2 = 396 × 1/2 × 7/22 m


⇒ R2 = 63 m


Width of the track = R2 – R1 = 63 m – 56 m = 7 m


Area of track = = 22/7 × (632 -562)


= 22/7 × (3969 – 3136) m2


= 22/7 × 833 m2 = 2618 m2



Question 18.

A chord of a circle of radius 30 cm makes an angle of 60° at the centre of the circle. Find the areas of the minor and major segments. [Take π = 22/7 and √3 = 1.732.]


Answer:


∠ACB = 60°


Chord AB subtends an angle of 60° at the centre


Radius = 30 cm


Let Radius be R


In triangle ABC, AC = BC


So, ∠CAB = ∠CBA


∠ ACB + ∠ CAB + ∠ CBA = 180°


60° + 2∠CAB = 180°


2∠CAB = 180° - 60° = 120°


∠CAB = 120°/2 = 60°


∠CAB = ∠CBA = 60°


∴ ΔABC is a equilateral triangle


Length of side of an equilateral triangle = radius of circle = 30 cm


Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 × side2 = 1.732/4 × 30 × 30 cm2


= 389.7 cm2


Area of sector ACB = = 3.14 × 30 × 30 × 60°/360° = 471.45 cm2


Area of minor Segment = Area of sector ACB – Area of ΔABC


= 471.45 cm2 – 389.7 cm2 = 81.75 cm2


Area of circle = R2 = 3.14 × 30 × 30 cm2 = 2828.57 cm2


Area of major segment = Area of circle – Area of minor segment


= 2826 cm2 – 81.75 cm2


= 2744.25 cm2



Question 19.

Four cows are tethered at the four corners of a square field of side 50 m such that each can graze the maximum unshared area. What area will be left ungrazed? [Take π = 3.14]


Answer:

From the figure we see that cows are tethered at the corners of the square so while grazing they form four quadrants as shown in the figure

Length of side of square = 50 m

Length of side of square = 2 × Radius of quadrant

Radius of quadrant = R = 50/2 m

= 25 m

Area of square = side2

= 502 m2 = 2500 m2

Area of quadrant = 1/4 π R2 = 1/4 × 3.14 × 25 × 25 m2

= 490.625 m2

Area of 4 quadrants = 4 × 490.625 m2

= 1962.5 m2

Area left ungrazed = Area of shaded part

= Area of square – Area of 4 quadrants

= 2500 m2 – 1962.5 m2

Question 20.

A square tank has an area of 1600 m2. There are four semicircular plots around it. Find the cost of turfing the plots at Rs. 12.50 per m2. [Take π = 3.14]


Answer:

Let the length of side of the square tank be a


Area of square tank = a2 = 1600 m2


⇒ a = √1600 m = 40 m



Let the radius of semicircle be R


From the figure we can see that


Length of the side of the square = Diameter of semicircle


40 m = 2 × R


R = 40/2 m


R = 20 m


Area of semi-circle = 1/2 R2 = 1/2 × 3.14 × 20 × 20 m2


= 628 m2


Area of 4 semi-circles = 4 × 628 m2


= 2512 m2


Cost of turfing the plots = Rs. 12.50 per m2


Cost of Turfing = Cost of turfing per m2 × Area of 4 semicircle


= Rs. 12.50 × 2512


= Rs. 31400
