Mensuration is one of the branches of mathematics. This means measurement. It is being done in our life in many situations. For example, length of cloth we need for stitching, the area of a wall which is being painted, perimeter of a rectangular plot to be fenced, quantity of water needed to fill the tank etc. For these kinds of activities, we are doing measurements for further needs. F Here, we cover three areas
 

1. Perimeter        
2. Area        
3. Volume
To find these things we have to remember the formulae of plane figures and solid figures. Try to understand the concept behind reaching the formula.

Key With Explanations

1-d; 2(l + b) = 30
⇒ 2(4b + b) = 30
⇒ 10b = 30 ⇒ b = 3 m and l = 12 m
So, area of the field = l × b = 3 × 12 = 36 m2.


2-c; Perimeter of the rectangle = Circumference of the circular wire 
= 2 × 22/7 42 cm = 264 cm. 
Let the dimensions of the rectangle be 6x and 5x respectively.
∴ 2 × (6x + 5x) = 264 ⇒ x = 12
∴ Smaller side = 5x = 60 cm

 

3-a; Radius of the circle = 14 cm
Angle of the sector = 36° 
Area of the sector = θ/360° × π r2 
∴ Area of the sector 
= 36/360°  ×  22/7 × 14 × 14 = 61.6 cm2

 

4-d; ∠ADC is a right angle (Angle in a semicircle)
So, BD2 = AB × BC ⇒ 16 × 3 = 4 × BC
⇒ BC = 12 cm
Now shaded area = Area of bigger semicircle − Areas of smaller semicircles 
= 1/2  π (8)2 - 1/2 π (2)2 - 1/2 π (6)2 
= 32 π − 2 π −18 π = 12 π cm2

 

5-d; Let 5x and 4x be the length and breadth of the garden.

Then, 5x × 4x = 2000
⇒ x2 = 100 ⇒ x = 10
∴ Length = 50 m and breadth = 40 m
Let ‘d’ be the width of the road. Then,
(50 − 2d) (40 − 2d) = 2000 − 344 ⇒ d = 2 m

 

6-d; Let side of rectangle be 2x and x units. and side of square = y units 
∴ 4y = 6x ⇒ x/y = 4/6 = 2/3
∴ 2x × x/y2 = 2x2/ y2 = 2 × 4/9 = 8 : 9 


7-c; Area of square = a2 = 81 cm⇒ a = 9 cm
Perimeter of square = 4 × a = 4 × 9 = 36 cm
Perimeter of semi circle = πr + 2r ⇒ 36 = r (π + 2)  
⇒ 36 = r (36/7)  ⇒ r = 36 × 7/36 = 7
Area of semicircle = 1/2 πr
= 1/2 × 22/7 × 7 × 7 = 77 cm2 

 


 


Hence, ungrazed area = 336 − 77 = 259 m2

 


 

11-b; Let the length of the rope be r. Horse can graze an area equal to area of the circle of radius r.
Then, πr2 = 154 ⇒ r = 7 m

 

12-b; Radius of the outer circle = 28 + 14 = 42 m
Area of the path = Area of outer circle − Area of inner circle
= π (42)2 − π (28)2 = 3080 m2

 

13-c; Let r be the radius of the circular plot.
Then, πr2 = 154 ⇒ r = 7 m 
Circumference of the plot = 2 × 22/7 × 7 = 44 m
Cost of fencing the plot = Rs.44 × 2.75 = Rs.121 

 

14-b; Side of the square =  = 22 cm
Perimeter of the square = 4 × 22 = 88 cm
Perimeter of the circle = 2π × radius = 88 cm
⇒ Radius = 14 cm 
Area of the circle = π × (14)2 
= 22/7 × 14 × 14 = 616 cm2 

 

15-c; Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4  a
[where a is side of triangle] 
∴ √3/4  a = 121√3 ⇒ a = 22 cm 
Perimeter of triangle = 22 × 3 = 66 cm
Perimeter of circle = 2πr i.e. 2πr = 66
 
∴ Area of outer circle = πr2 = 22/7 × 21 × 21 = 1386 cm2 
area of inner circle = πr12 = 22/7 × 14 × 14 = 616 cm2 
Hence, area of ring = 1386 − 616 = 770 cm2

Key With Explanations

1-D; Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height  2 
⇒ 1/2 × 10.2 × 3.5 = 17.85 cm2 


2-B; Side of the square field = √50625 = 225 m
Length of the wire required = 4 × 225 = 900 m
Total cost = Rs.15 × 900 = Rs.13,500

 

3-C; Let the length of the plot be 100, then breadth will be 75
∴ Perimeter = 2(100 + 75) = 350 ATQ, perimeter is 560
When the perimeter is 350, length is 100.
If the perimeter is 560, then the length = 560/350 × 100 = 160 
breadth = 3/4 × 160 = 120 
∴ Area = 160 × 120 = 19,200 sqmt

 

4-B; Let the length of the square be 'a'
∴ 4a = 64 ⇒ a =16  
∴ Area = 162 = 256

 

5-A; Let the base be 6 units then other 2 equal sides are 5 units each perimeter of the triangle = 16 units = 32 cm 
∴ base = 12 cm and other sides = 10 cm each
∴ Height = √102 - 62 = 8 (using pythagorous theorem) 
∴ Area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height 
⇒ 1/2 × 12 × 8 = 48 cm2 

 

6-D; Circumference of the ground = 2 × π × 42
Required distance = 8 × (2 × π × 42) 
⇒ 8 × 2 × 22/7 × 42 = 2112 m 

 

7-B; Area of four walls = 2 × 5 (7.5 + 5.5) = 130 m2
Area of required paper = 130 m2
Breadth of the paper = 40 cm = 0.4 m 
∴ Length of the paper = 130/0.4 = 325 m 
∴ Cost of the paper = 325 × 0.75
= Rs.243.75

 

8-C; Length of the stick = length of the diagonal of the room 

 


∴ Surface areas ratio

 

10-A; Diameter = 14 cm, then radius will be 7 cm
Surface area = 4πr2 = 4 × 22/7  × 7 × 7 = 616 cm2 


11-C; Area of the floor of the hall = 900 × 600
Area of the tile = 25 × 15 cm2
∴ Number of tiles required = 900 × 600/25 × 15 = 1440 

 

12-D; Volume of a  cylinder = πr2h
∴ Required ratio is π × (3)2 × 4 : π × (4)2 × 9
⇒ 9 × 4 : 16 × 9 = 1 : 4

 

13-C; Required area of iron sheets = TSA of tank - area of circular hole
⇒ 2(10 × 8 + 8 × 6 + 10 × 6) - π (1/2)2
⇒ 2(188) - 22/7 × 1/4 ⇒ 376 - 0.785 = 375.2 

 

14-A; Area of the road = Area of outside rectangle - Area of inside rectangle
⇒ 70 × 50 - 60 × 40 
⇒ 3500 - 2400 = 1100 sqm
∴ Cost = 1100 × 1250 = Rs.13,75,000
