Question 4.

The area of one surface of a cube is 64 sq.m., let us calculate the volume of the cube.


Answer:

Let the surface of the cube be ‘a’ m.

We know that all surfaces of a cube are equal.


Therefore, the surface area of the cube = a2


Given surface area of the cube = 64 sq. m


∴ a2 = 64


⇒ a = √64


⇒ a = 8 m


We know that the volume of a cube = a3


∴ Volume = 83 = 8×8×8 = 512 m3



Question 5.

In our Bokultala village, a canal is cut whose breadth is of 2m. and depth is of 8 dcm. If the total quantity of soil extracted is 240 cubic metre, then let us calculate the length of the canal.


Answer:

Given , the breadth of the canal = 2m

And the depth of the canal = 8 dcm = m


As we know that 1m = 1000 dcm


Volume of the canal = 240 cubic m


We know that volume = area × length


⇒ 240 = 2 × × length


⇒ length =


⇒ length = 150000 dcm = 15 m



Question 6.

If the length of the diagonal of a cube is 43 cm.,then let us calculate the total surface area of the cube.


Answer:

Let the edge of a cube be a cm.

We know that the body diagonal of a cube = 3a cm


∴ According to question,


3 a = 43


a = = 4 cm


As, total surface area of a cube = 6a2 sq.cm


= 6×(4)2


= 6×16


= 96 sq. cm



Question 7.

The sum of length of the edges of a cube is 60 cm, let us find out the volume of the cube.


Answer:

Let the edge of a cube be a cm.

We know that total length of edges of a cube = 12a cm

As, volume of cube is a3


Therefore, volume = 63 = 216 cubic cm.



Question 9.

The volume of rectangular parallelepiped is 432 sq cm.If it is converted into 2 cubes of equal volumes, then let us calculate the length of each edge of each cube.


Answer:

Let the edge of a cube be a cm.

And the volume be V cubic cm.


Given, rectangular parallelepiped is converted into 2 cubes of equal area.


So, volume of each cube = = 216 sq. cm


As, a3 = volume


a = voulme1/3


So, a = 2161/3 = 6 cm.



Question 10.

Each side of a cube is decreased by 50%. Let us calculate the ratio of the volumes original cube and changed cube.


Answer:

Original cube:


Let the edge of the original cube be a cm


∴ Volume of the original cube = a3

Hence,



Question 11.

If the ratio of length breadth and height of a cuboidal box is 3:2:1 and its volume is 384cc. then let us calculate the total surface area of the box.


Answer:

Let the ratio be in x.

∴ length = 3x


breadth = 2x


and height = x


Given, volume = 384 cc


⇒ 3x × 2x × x = 384


⇒ 6x3 = 384


⇒ x3 = = 64


⇒ x = cm.


⇒ x = 4 cm


So, length = 3×4 = 12 cm


breadth = 2×4 = 8 cm


height = 4 cm


Therefore, Surface area of cuboidal box = 2(length× breadth + breadth×height + height×length)


surface area = 2(12×8 + 8×4 + 4×12)


= 2(96 + 32 + 48)


= 2×176


= 352 sq. cm.



Question 12.

The inner length, breadth, and height of a box of tea are 7.5 dcm.and 5.4dcm. respectively, if the weight of the box filled with tea is 52 kg 350 gm., but in the empty state, its weight is 3.5 kg , then let us write by calculating, the weight of 1 cubic cm. tea.


Answer:

Given,


The weight of box filled with tea = 52kg 350gm


Weight of empty box = 3kg 750gm


Weight of tea = Weight of box filled with tea- Weight of empty box


⇒ Weight of tea = 52.350-3.750


⇒ Weight of tea =48.600kg


Volume of box=length × breadth × height


⇒ Volume of box=7.5×5.4×1dcm3


⇒ Volume of box=40.50 dcm3




The weight of 1 cubic dcm. tea. = 1.2kg/dcm3



Question 13.

The length, breadth, and weight of a brass plate with the squared base are x cm, 1 mm and 4725 gm respectively, if the weight of 1 cubic dcm brass is 8.4 gm, then let us write by calculating the value of x.

The height of Chandmari road is to be raised. So, 30 cuboidal holes with equal depth and of equal measure are dug out on both sides of the road and with this soil, the road is elevated. If the length and breadth of each hole are 14 m and 8 m. respectively and if the total quantity of soil required to make the road be 2520 cu m.let us calculate the depth of each hole.


Answer:

Let the depth of each hole be h.

Given , length of each hole = 14m


breadth of each hole = 8m


total no. of holes = 30


Total quantity of soil = 2520 m3


As, total volume of soil in 30 holes = total quantity of soil


therefore, 30×14×8×h = 2520


h =


h = 0.762 m.



Question 15.

If 64 water filled buckets of equal measure are taken out from a cubical water-filled the tank, then 1/3rd of water remains in the tank. If the length of one edge of the tank is 1.2 m, then let us calculate and write the quantity of water that can be held in each budget?


Answer:

Let each bucket can hold B Lts. of water.


Given, edge of cubical tank = 1.2m


total number of buckets = 64


part of water taken out with bucket of total volume of tank


As, volume of cubical tank = 1.23 m3


therefore,






As, 1m3 = 1000 L


So, B = L = 0.018 L



Question 16.

If the length, breadth, and height of one packet of one gross match box are 2.8dcm. and 0.9dcm respectively, then let us calculate the volume of one match box. [one gross=12dozen]. But if the length and breadth of one matchbox be 5 cm and 3.5 cm , then let us calculate the height of it.


Answer:

Given,


Length of one gross match box=2.8dcm


The breadth of one gross match box=0.9dcm


The height of one gross match box=1.5dcm


The volume of one gross match box=2.8×0.9×1.5


⇒ Volume of one gross match box =3.78dcm3


one gross=12dozen


1 dozen =12 units


Therefore, one gross=12×12units


one gross=144units


Therefore,



[1dcm=100mm]


The volume of one match box=26.25cubic cm


Length of one match box=5cm


The breadth of one match box=3.5 cm


The height of one match box=? cm


The volume of one match box=26.25cubic cm


⇒ 5×3.5×height=26.25



Height of one cube=1.5cm



Question 17.

As, 1m3 = 1000 L


So, volume that can be added = = 0.63 m3.


According to question,


Capacity of tank to be filled = Volume of water that can be added.




H = 0.35 m



Question 18.

The length and breadth of a rectangular field of the village are 20m and 15 m respectively.For the construction of pillars in the 4 corners of that field 4 cubic holes having the depth of 4 m are dug out and the soils removed are dispersed on the remaining land. Let us calculate and write the height of the surface of the field that is increased by.


Answer:

Let the height to be increased = H m

Given, length of rectangular field = 20m.


breadth of rectangular field = 15m.


edge of each cubic hole = 4m


total no. of cubic holes = 4


According to the question,


Total volume of soil dug out of 4 cubical holes = volume of soil deposited on rectangular field.


4×43 = 20×15×H


⇒ 256 = 300H


H = 0.853 m



Question 19.

For elevating 6.5dcm of a low land with length of 48m and breadth of 31.5m , it is decided that the soil will be collected by scooping a hole in a nearby land with a length of 27m and breadth od 18.2m, let us calculate the depth of the hole in the metre.


Answer:

Let the depth of hole scooped be H m

Given, Length of field to be scooped = 27m


breadth of field to be scooped = 18.2 m


Length of low land = 48m


breadth of low land = 31.5m


height of low land = 6.5 dcm = 0.65 m


A/Q, Volume of field to be scooped = volume of low land


27×18.2×H = 48×31.5×0.65


H =


H = 2m



Question 20.

There were 800L, 725L and 575 L kerosene oil in 3 kerosine oil drums of the house. The oil of these 3 drums is poured into a cubical pot and for this, the depth of the drum becomes 7dcm.If the ratio of the length and breadth of the cuboidal pot is 4:3 then let us write by calculating the length and breadth of the pot.

If the depth of the cuboidal pot would be 5 dcm, let us calculate whether 1620 L oil can be kept or not in that pot.


Answer:

Let the ratio be in x m

So, length of cuboidal pot = 4x m


breadth of cuboidal pot = 3x m


Given: Height of cuboidal pot = 7 dcm = 0.7 m


As, 1m3 = 1000 L


Volume of 1st drum = 800 L = 0.8 m3


Volume of 2nd drum = 725L = 0.725 m3


Volume of 3rd drum = 575 L = 0.575 m3


A/Q, Volume from all the 3 drums = volume of cuboidal pot


therefore, 0.8 + 0.725 + 0.575 = 4x × 3x × 0.7


2.1 = 8.4x2


x2 = 0.25


x = 0.25


x = 0.5 m


Thus, length of pot = 4x = 4X0.5 = 2 m


breadth of pot = 3x = 3X0.5 = 1.3 m


2nd part: Given if depth of cuboidal pot = 5dcm = 0.5 m


then volume = length×breadth×height


volume = 2×1.5×0.5


volume = 1.5 m3 = 1.5×1000L


volume = 1500 L


Thus the mentioned volume of 1620 L cannot be kept in that pot .



Question 21.

The daily requirement of water of 3 families in our 3 storeyed flat are 1200L,1050L and 950L respectively. After fulfilling these requirement in order to put up a tank again and to deposit to store 25% of the required water, only a land having a length of 2.5m and breadth of 1.6m has been poured. Let us calculate the depth of tank in metre that should be made.

If the breadth of the land would be more by 4 dcm, then let us calculate the depth of the tank to be made.


Answer:

Given, Length of tank = 2.5m

breadth of tank = 1.6m


Let height of tank be H m


Requirement of 1st family = 1200L = = 1.2 m3


Requirement of 2nd family = 1050L = = 1.05 m3


Requirement of 3rd family = 950L = = 0.95m3


As, 1m3 = 1000 L


According to question,


25% of the requirement is to be stored in a tank.


25% of Requirement of 1st family = = 0.3 m3


25% of Requirement of 2nd family = = 0.2625m3


25% of Requirement of 3rdfamily = = 0.2375m3


As, 25% of the total requirement of the water = volume of the land to be irrigated


0.3 + 0.2625 + 0.2375 = 2.5×1.6×H


0.8 = 4H


H = 0.2m


2nd part: breadth is increased by 4 dcm = 0.4 m


As, length = 2.5 m


Let the new depth be d m


again, As, 25% of the total requirement of the water = volume of the land to be irrigated


0.8 = 0.4×2.5×d


d


d = 0.8 m



Question 22.

The weight of the wooden box made of wooden plate with thickness of 5cm along with its covering is115.5kg, but the weight of box filled with rice is 880.5kg.The length and breadth of inner side of the box are 12dcm and 8.5dcm respectively and weight of 1 cubic dcm rice is 1.5kg .Let us calculate the inner height of the box after calculation. Let us calculate the total expenditure to colour the outside of the box, if rate is Rs 1.5 per sq. dcm.


Answer:

Given, thickness = 5cm = 0.5dm

weight of empty box = 115.5 kg


weight of filled box = 880.5 kg


Length of inner side of box = 12dcm


breadth of inner side of box = 8.5 dcm


According to question, volume of rice inside the box = Inner capacity of box


weight of filled box-weight of empty box = length × breadth height


( 880.5-115.5)kg = 12×8.5×h


dcm3 = 102 h {1 cubic dcm rice is 1.5kg}


h =


h = 5 dcm


As, thickness of the box = 0.5dcm


So, outer length of box (L) = inner length + 2xthickness = 12 + 2×0.5 = 13 dcm


outer breadth of box(B) = inner breadth + 2Xthickness = 8.5 + 2×0.5 = 9.5 dcm


outer height of box(H) = inner height + 2X thickness = 5 + 2×0.5 = 6 dcm


As,Outer surface area = 2(LB + BH + LH)


= 2(13×9.5 + 9.5×6 + 6×13)


= 2(123.5 + 57 + 78)


= 2×285.5


= 517 dcm2


According to question, cost of 1 dcm2 = Rs.1.5


So, cost of 517 dcm2 = Rs.(1.5×517)


= Rs 775.5

If that quantity of water is poured on a paddy field with a ridge having the length of 59.2m and breadth of 40m then what is the depth of water in that field –let us write calculating it,[I cubic m = I kilo L]


Answer:

Given, length of cuboidal pond = 20m

breadth of cuboidal pond = 18.5 m


height of cuboidal pond = 3.2m


Thus volume of cuboidal pond = length × breadth × height


= 20×18.5×3.2


= 1184 m3


According to question, time required to irrigate upto 160 L = 1 hr


As, 1m3 = 1000L


160L = = 0.16 m3


So, time required to irrigate 1184 m3 hr.



= 7400 hr


2nd part: Length of field = 59.2m


breadth of field = 40 m


Let height of field = H m


According to question,


Volume of field to be poured with water = volume of water


length ×breadth × height = 1184 m3


59.2 × 40 × H = 1184


H =

As, the length of 2 adjacent walls of room are 12m and 8m = length and breadth of the floor


So, area of the floor = 12×8 = 96 sq m.



Question 35.

The length of the dimensions of 2 cuboids are 4,6,4 units and 8, (2h-1) , 2 units respectively. If the volume of 2 cuboids are equal, then let us write the value of h.


Answer:

volume of 1st cuboid = length breadth × height


= 4 × 6 × 4 = 96 cubic unit


Volume of 2nd cuboid = length breadth × height =


8 × (2h-1) × 2 = 32h-16


Given, volumes are equal.


So, 32h-16 = 96


⇒ 32h = 96 + 16 = 112


⇒ h =


h = 3.5 units.
