Question 1.
Factorise:
i. x³ + 64y³
ii. 125p³ + q³
iii. 125k³ + 27m³
iv. 2l³ + 432m³
v. 24a³ + 81b³
vi. \(y^{3}+\frac{1}{8 y^{3}}\)
vii. \(\mathrm{a}^{3}+\frac{8}{\mathrm{a}^{3}}\)
viii. \(1+\frac{\mathrm{q}^{3}}{125}\)
Solution:
i. x³ + 64y³
= x³ + (4y)³
Here, a = x and b = 4y
∴ x³ + 64y³ = (x + 4y) [x² – x(4y) + (4y)²]
….[∵ a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² – ab + b²)]
= (x + 4y)(x² – 4xy + 16y²)

ii. 125p³ + q³
= (5p)³ + q³
Here, a = 5p and b = q
∴ 125p³ + q³ = (5p + q)[(5p)² – (5p)(q) + q²]
…[∵ a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² – ab + b²)]
= (5p + q)(25p² – 5pq + q²)

iii. 125k³ + 27m³
= (5k)³ + (3m)³
Here, a = 5k and b = 3m
∴ 125k³ + 27m³
= (5k + 3m) [(5k)² – (5k)(3m) + (3m)²]
…[∵ a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² – ab + b²)]
= (5k + 3m)(25k² – 15km + 9m²)

iv. 2l³ + 432m³
= 2 (l³ + 216m³)
… [Taking out the common factor 2]
= 2[l³ + (6m)³]
Here, a = l and b = 6m
2l³ + 432m³ = 2 {(l + 6m)[l² – l(6m) + (6m)²]}
…[∵ a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² – ab + b²)]
= 2(l + 6m)(l² – 6lm + 36m²)

v. 24a³ + 81b³
…[Taking out the common factor 3]
= 3 [(2a)³ + (3b)³]
Here, A = 2a and B = 3b
∴ 24a³ + 81b³
= 3 {(2a + 3b) [(2a)² – (2a)(3b) + (3b)²]}
…[∵ A³ + B³ = (A + B) (A² – AB + B²)]
= 3(2a + 3b)(4a² – 6ab + 9b²)

vi. \(y^{3}+\frac{1}{8 y^{3}}\)

vii. \(\mathrm{a}^{3}+\frac{8}{\mathrm{a}^{3}}\)

viii. \(1+\frac{\mathrm{q}^{3}}{125}\)

= x (x + 6) + 3(x + 6)
= (x + 6) (x + 3)

ii. x² – 10x + 9
= x² – 9x – x + 9
= x (x – 9) – 1(x – 9)
= (x – 9)(x – 1)

iii. y² + 24y + 144
= y² + 12y + 12y + 144
= y(y + 12) + 12(y + 12)
= (y + 12)(y + 12)

iv. 5y² + 5y – 10
= 5(y² + y – 2)
… [Taking out the common factor 5]
= 5(y² + 2y – y – 2)
= 5[y(y + 2) – 1(y + 2)]
= 5 (p + 2)(y- 1)

v. p² – 2p – 35
= p² – 7p + 5p – 35
= p(p – 7) + 5(p – 7)
= (p – 7)(p + 5)

vi. p² – 7p – 44
= p² – 11p + 4p – 44
= p(p – 11) + 4(p – 11)
= (p – 11)(p + 4)

vii. m² – 23m + 120
= m² – 15m – 8m + 120
= m (m – 15) – 8 (m – 15)
= (m – 15) (m – 8)

viii. m² – 25m + 100
= m² – 20m – 5m + 100
= m(m – 20) – 5(m – 20)
= (m – 20) (m – 5)

ix. 3x² + 14x + 15 3 × 15 = 45
= 3x² + 9x + 5x + 15
= 3x(x + 3) + 5(x + 3)
= (x + 3) (3x + 5)

x. 2x² + x – 45 2 × (- 45) = -90
= 2x² + 10x – 9x – 45
= 2x(x + 5) – 9 (x + 5)
= (x + 5) (2x – 9)

xi. 20x² – 26x + 8
= 2(10x² – 13x + 4) 10 × 4 = 40
… [Taking out the common factor 2]
= 2(10x² – 8x – 5x + 4)
= 2[2x(5x – 4) – 1(5x – 4)]
= 2 (5x – 4) (2x – 1)

xii. 44x² – x – 3 44 × (-3) = -132
= 44x² – 12x + 11x – 3
= 4x(11x – 3) + 1(11x – 3)
= (11x – 3) (4x + 1)

iii. Here, a = 7x and b = 9y
(7x – 9y)³
= (7x)³ – 3(7x)² (9y) + 3 (7x)(9y)² – (9y)³
…[(a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³]
= 343x³ – 3(49x²)(9y) + 3(7x)(81y²) – 729y³
= 343x³ – 1323x²y + 1701xy² – 729y³

iv. (58)³ = (60 – 2)³
Here, a = 60 and b = 2
(58)³ = (60)³ – 3(60)²(2) + 3(60)(2)² – (2)³
… [(a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³]
= 216000 – 3(3600)(2) + 3(60)(4) – 8

=195112

v. (198)³ = (200 – 2)³
Here, a = 200 and b = 2

… [(a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³]
= 8000000 – 3(40000)(2) + 3(200)(4) – 8

iv. (5x – 7y)³ + (5x + 7y)³
Solution:
i. (2a + b)³ – (2a – b)³
= [(2a)³ + 3(2a)²(b) + 3 (2a)(b)² + (b)³] – [(2a)³ – 3(2a)²(b) + 3 (2a)(b)² – (b)³]
… [(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³, (a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³]
= (8a³ + 12a²b + 6ab² + b³) – (8a³ – 12a²b + 6ab² – b³)
= 8a³ + 12a²b + 6ab² + b³ – 8a³ + 12a²b – 6ab² + b³
= 8a³ – 8a³ + 12a²b + 12a²b + 6ab² – 6ab² + b³ + b³
= 24a²b + 2b³

ii. (3r – 2k)³ + (3r + 2k)³

… [(a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³, (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³]
= (27r³ – 54r²k + 36rk² – 8k³) + (27r³ + 54r²k + 36rk² + 8k³)
= 27r³ – 54r²k + 36rk² – 8k³ + 27r³ + 54r²k + 36rk² + 8k³
= 27r³ + 27r³ – 54r²k + 54r²k + 36rk² + 36rk² – 8k³ + 8k³

iii. (4a – 3)³ – (4a + 3)³
= [(4a)³ – 3(4a)² (3) + 3(4a)(3)² – (3)³] – [(4a)³ + 3(4a)²(3) + 3(4a)(3)² + (3)³]
… [(a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³, (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³]
= (64a³ – 144a² + 108a – 27) – (64a³ + 144a² + 108a + 27)
= 64a³ – 144a² + 108a – 27 – 64a³ -144a² – 108a – 27

Practice Set 16.1 8th Std Maths Answers Chapter 16 Surface Area and Volume

Question 1.
Find the volume of a box if its length, breadth and height are 20 cm, 10.5 cm and 8 cm respectively.
Given: For cuboid shaped box,
length (l) = 20 cm, breadth (b) = 10.5 cm and height (h) = 8cm
To find: Volume of a box
Solution:
Volume of a box = l x b x h
= 20 x 10.5 x 8
= 1680 cc
∴ The volume of the box is 1680 cc.

Question 2.
A cuboid shaped soap bar has volume 150 cc. Find its thickness if its length is 10 cm and breadth is 5 cm.
Given: For cuboid shaped soap bar,
length (l) = 10 cm, breadth (b) = 5 cm and volume = 150 cc
To find: Thickness of the soap bar (h)
Solution:
Volume of soap bar = l x b x h
∴ 150 = 10 x 5 x h
∴ 150 = 50h
∴ \(\frac { 150 }{ 50 }=h\)
∴ 3 = h
i.e., h = 3 cm
∴ The thickness of the soap bar is 3 cm.

Question 3.
How many bricks of length 25 cm, breadth 15 cm and height 10 cm are required to build a wall of length 6 m, height 2.5 m and breadth 0.5 m?
Given: For the cuboidal shape brick:
length (l₁) = 25 cm,
breadth (b₁) = 15 cm,
height (h₁) = 10 cm
For the cuboidal shape wall:
length (l₂) = 6 m,
height (h₂) = 2.5 m,
breadth (b₂) = 0.5 m
To find: Number of bricks required
Solution:
When all the bricks are arranged to build a wall, the volume of all the bricks is equal to volume of wall.
∴ \(\text { Number of bricks }=\frac{\text { volume of the wall }}{\text { volume of a brick }}\)

i. Volume of a brick = l₁ x b₁ x h₁
= 25 x 15 x 10 cc

ii. l₂ = 6m = 6 x 100 …[∵ 1m = 100cm]
= 600 cm
h₂ = 2.5 m = 2.5 x 100 = 250 cm
b₂ = 0.5 m = 0.5 x 100 = 50 cm
Volume of the wall = l₂ x b₂ x h₂
= 600 x 50 x 250 cc

iii. \(\text { Number of bricks }=\frac{\text { volume of the wall }}{\text { volume of a brick }}\)
= \(\frac{600 \times 50 \times 250}{25 \times 15 \times 10}\)
= 40 x 2 x 25
= 2000 bricks
∴ 2000 bricks are required to build the wall.

Question 4.
For rain water harvesting a tank of length 10 m, breadth 6 m and depth 3 m is built. What is the capacity of the tank? How many litre of water can it hold?
Given: For a cuboidal tank,
Length (l) = 10 m, breadth (b) = 6 m, depth (h) = 3 m
To find: Capacity of the tank and litre of water tank can hold.
Solution:
i. l = 10m = 10 x 100 …[∵ 1m = 100cm]
= 1000 cm,
b = 6 m = 6 x 100 = 600 cm,
h = 3 m = 3 x 100 = 300 cm
Volume of the tank = l x b x h
= 1000 x 600 x 300
= 18,00,00,000 cc

ii. Capacity of the tank = Volume of the tank
= 18,00,00,000 cc
= \(\frac{18,00,00,000}{1000}\)
…[∵ 1 litre =1000 cc]
= 1,80,000 litre
∴ The capacity of the tank is 18,00,00,000 cc and it can hold 1,80,000 litre of water.

Miscellaneous Exercise 2 8th Std Maths Answers

Question 1.
Questions and their alternative answers are given. Choose the correct alternative answer.
i. Find the circumference of a circle whose area is 1386 cm²? [Chapter 15]
(A) 132 cm²
(B) 132 cm
(C) 42 cm
(D) 21 cm²
Solution:
(B) 132 cm

Hint:
i. Area of the circle = πr²
1386 = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x r²
r² = 1386 x \(\frac { 7 }{ 22 }\)
= 63 x 7
= 441
r = √441 … [Taking square root of both sides]
= 21 cm
Circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 x \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 21
= 132 cm

ii. The side of a cube is 4 m. If it is doubled, how many times will be the volume of the new cube, as compared with the original cube? [Chapter 16]
(A) Two times
(B) Three times
(C) Four times
(D) Eight times
Solution:
(D) Eight times

Hint:
ii. Original volume = (4)³ = 64 cu.m
New side = 8 m
∴ New volume = (8)² = 512 cu.m
Now, \(\frac{\text { new volume }}{\text { original volume }}=\frac{512}{64}\) = 8
original volume 64
∴ volume of new cube will increase 8 times as compared to the volume of original cube.

Solution:
Here, P = Cost of the machine = Rs 2,50,000
R = Rate of depreciation = 4%
N = 3 Years
A = Depreciated price of the machine

∴The cost of the machine after three years will be Rs 2,21,184.

Question 5.
In ☐ABCD, side AB || side DC, seg AE ⊥ seg DC. If l(AB) = 9 cm, l(AE) = 10 cm, A(☐ABCD) = 115 cm² , find l(DC). [Chapter 15]
Solution:
Given, side AB || side DC.
∴ ☐ABCD is a trapezium.

Given, l(AB) = 9 cm, l(AE) = 10 cm,
A(☐ABCD) = 115 cm²
Area of a trapezium
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height
∴ A(☐ABCD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [l(AB) + l(DC) x l(AE)]
∴ 115 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [9 + l(DC)] x 10
∴ \(\frac { 115 \times 2 }{ 10 }\) = 9 + l(DC)
∴ 23 = 9 + l(DC)
∴ l(DC) = 23 – 9
∴ l(DC) = 14cm

Question 6.
The diameter and height of a cylindrical tank is 1.75 m and 3.2 m respectively. How much is the capacity of tank in litre?
[π = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\)] [Chapter 16]
Solution:
Given: For cylindrical tank:
diameter (d) = 1.75 m, height (h) = 3.2 m
To Find: Capacity of tank in litre
diameter (d) = 1.75 m
= 1.75 x 100
….[∵ 1 m = 100cm]
= 175 cm
∴ radius (r) = \(=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}=\frac{175}{2}\) cm
h = 3.2 cm
= 3.2 x 100
= 320 cm
Capacity of tank = Volume of the cylindrical tank
= πr²h

∴ The capacity of the tank is 7700 litre.

Question 7.
The length of a chord of a circle is 16.8 cm, radius is 9.1 cm. Find its distance from the centre. [Chapter 17]
Solution:

Let CD be the chord of the Circle with centre O.
Draw seg OP ⊥ chord CD
∴l(PD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) l(CD)
…[Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to its chord bisects the chord]
∴l(PD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 16.8 …[l(CD) = 16.8cm]
∴l(PD) = 8.4 cm …(i)
∴In ∆OPD, m∠OPD = 90°
∴[l(OD)]² = [l(OP)]² + [l(PD)]² …..[Pythagoras theorem]
∴(9.1)² = [l(OP)]² + (8.4)² … [From (i) and l(OD) = 9.1 cm]
∴(9.1)² – (8.4)² = [l(OP)]²
∴(9.1 + 8.4) (9.1 – 8.4) = [l(OP)]²
…[∵ a² – b² = (a + b) (a – b)]
∴17.5 x (0.7) = [l(OP)]²
∴12.25 = [l(OP)]²
i.e., [l(OP)]² = 12.25
∴l(OP) = √12.25
…[Taking square root of both sides]
∴l(OP) = 3.5 cm
∴The distance of the chord from the centre is 3.5 cm.

i. 17 (x + 4) + 8 (x + 6) = 11 (x + 5) + 15 (x + 3)
ii. \(\frac{3 y}{2}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
iii. 5(1 – 2x) = 9(1 -x)
[Chapter 12]
Solution:
i. 17 (x + 4) + 8 (x + 6) = 11 (x + 5) + 15 (x + 3)
∴ 17x + 68 + 8x + 48 = 11x + 55 + 15x + 45
∴ 17x + 8x + 68 + 48 = 11x + 15x + 55 + 45
∴ 25x + 116 = 26x + 100
∴ 25x + 116 – 116 = 26x + 100 – 116
… [Subtracting 116 from both the sides]
∴ 25x = 26x – 16
∴ 25x – 26x = 26x – 16 – 26x
… [Subtracting 26x from both the sides]
∴ -x = -16
∴ \(\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{-16}{-1}\)
∴ x = 16

ii. \(\frac{3 y}{2}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
∴ \(\frac{3 y \times 2}{2 \times 2}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
∴ \(\frac{6 y}{4}+\frac{y+4}{4}=5-\frac{y-2}{4}\)
∴ \(\frac{6 y}{4} \times 4+\frac{y+4}{4} \times 4=5 \times 4-\frac{y-2}{4} \times 4\)
……[Multiplying both the sides by 4]
∴ 6y + y + 4 = 20 – (y – 2)
∴ 7y + 4 = 20 – y + 2
∴ 7y + 4 = 22 – y
∴ 7y + 4 – 4 = 22 – y – 4
…..[Subtracting 4 from both the sides]
∴ 7y = 18 – y
∴ 7y + y = 18 – y + y
…[Adding y on both the sides]
∴ 8y = 18
∴ \(\frac{8 y}{8}=\frac{18}{8}\) … [Dividing both the sides by 8]
∴ \(y=\frac { 9 }{ 4 }\)

iii. 5(1 – 2x) = 9(1 – x)
∴ 5 – 10x = 9 – 9x
∴ 5 – 10x – 5 = 9 – 9x – 5
….[Subtracting 5 from both the sides]
∴ -10x = 4 – 9x
∴ -10x + 9x = 4 – 9x + 9x
… [Adding 9x on both the sides]
∴ -x = 4
∴ -x x (- 1) = 4 x (- 1)
… [Multiplying both the sides by – 1]
∴ x = – 4

Question 10.
Complete the activity according to the given steps.
i. Draw rhombus ABCD. Draw diagonal AC.
ii. Show the congruent parts in the figure by identical marks.
iii. State by which, test and in which correspondence ∆ADC and ∆ABC are congruent.
iv. Give reason to show ∠DCA ≅ ∠BCA, and ∠DAC ≅ ∠BAC
v. State which property of a rhombus is revealed from the above steps. [Chapter 13]
Solution:
a.

b. In ∆ADC and ∆ABC,
side AD ≅ side AB …..[Sides of a rhombus]
side DC ≅ side BC …..[Sides of a rhombus]
side AC ≅ side AC … [Common side]
∆ADC ≅ ∆ABC … [By SSS test]
∠DCA ≅ ∠BCA …[Corresponding angles of congruent triangles]
∠DAC ≅ ∠BAC …[Corresponding angles of congruent triangles]
From the above steps, property of rhombus revealed is ‘diagonal of a rhombus bisect the opposite angles’.

Question 11.
The shape of a farm is a quadrilateral. Measurements taken of the farm, by naming its corners as P, Q, R, S in order are as follows. l(PQ) = 170 m,
l(QR) = 250 m, l(RS) = 100 m, l(PS) = 240 m, l(PR) = 260 m.
Find the area of the field in hectare (1 hectare = 10,000 sq.m). [Chapter 15]
Solution:

Area of the field = A(∆PQR) + A(∆PSR)
In ∆PQR, a = 170 m, b = 250 m, c = 260 m
Semiperimeter of ∆PQR = s

Area of the field = A(∆PQR) + A(∆PSR)
= 20400 + 12000
= 32400 sq.m
= \(\frac { 32400 }{ 10000 }\)
…[1 hectare = 10,000 sq.m]
= 3.24 hectares
∴ The area of the field is 3.24 hectares.

Question 12.
In a library, 50% of total number of books is of Marathi. The books of English are \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) of Marathi books. The books on Mathematics are 25% of the English books. The remaining 560 books are of other subjects. What is the total number of books in the library? [Chapter 12]
Solution:
Let the total number of books in the library be x
50% of total number of books is of Marathi.
Number of Marathi books = 50% of x
= \(\frac { 50 }{ 100 }x\)
= \(\frac { x }{ 2 }\)
The books of English are \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) of Marathi books.
Number of books of English = \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{x}{2}\)
= \(\frac { x }{ 6 }\)
The books on Mathematics are 25% of the English books.
Number of books of Mathematics
= 25% of \(\frac { x }{ 6 }\)
= \(\frac{25}{100} \times \frac{x}{6}\)
= \(\frac { x }{ 24 }\)
Since, there are 560 books of other subjects, the total number of books in the library are


∴ 24x – 17x = 17x + 13440 – 17x
∴ 7x = 13440
∴ \(\frac{7 x}{7}=\frac{13440}{7}\)
∴ x = 1920
∴ The total number of books in the library are 1920.

Question 13.
Divide the polynomial (6x³ + 11x² – 10x – 7) by the binomial (2x + 1). Write the quotient and the remainder. [Chapter 10]
Solution:

∴ Quotient = 3x² + 4x – 7,
remainder = 0

Practice Set 17.2 8th Std Maths Answers Chapter 17 Circle: Chord and Arc

Question 1.
The diameters PQ and RS of the circle with centre C are perpendicular to each other at C. State, why arc PS and arc SQ are congruent. Write the other arcs which are congruent to arc PS.

Solution:
diameter PQ ⊥ diameter RS … [Given]
∴ m∠PCS = m∠SCQ = m∠PCR = m∠RCQ = 90°
The measure of the angle subtended at the centre by an arc is the measure of the arc.
∴ m(arc PS) = m∠PCS = 90° …(i)
m (arc SQ) = m∠SCQ = 90° …(ii)
∴ m(arc PS) = m(arc SQ) … [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ arc PS ≅ arc SQ … [If the measures of two arcs of a circle are same, then the two arcs are congruent]
m(arc PR) = m∠PCR = 90° .. .(iii)
m (arc RQ) = m∠RCQ = 90° … (iv)
∴ m(arc PS) = m(arc PR) = m(arc RQ) … [From (i), (iii) and (iv)]
∴ arc PS ≅ arc PR ≅ arc RQ
… [If the measures of two arcs of a circle are same, then the two arcs are congruent]
∴ arc PR and arc RQ are congruent to arc PS.

Question 2.
In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle whose diameter is MN. Measures of some central angles are given in the figure.
i. m∠AOB and m∠COD
ii. Show that arc AB ≅ arc CD
iii. Show that chord AB ≅ chord CD

Solution:
i. Seg MN is the diameter of the circle. … [Given]
∴ m∠AOM + m∠AON = 180° … [Angles in a linear pair]
∴ m∠AOM + (m∠AOB + m∠BON) = 180° … [Angle addition property]
∴ 100° + m∠AOB + 35° = 180°
…[∵ m∠AOM = 100°, m∠BON = 35°]
∴ m∠AOB + 135° = 180°
∴ m∠AOB = 180°- 135°
∴m∠AOB = 45° …(i)
Also, m∠DOM + m∠DON = 180° … [Angles in a linear pair]
∴ m∠DOM + (m∠COD + m∠CON) = 180° … [Angle addition property]
∴ 100° +m∠COD + 35°= 180°
…[∵ m∠DOM = 100°, m∠CON = 35° ]
∴ m∠COD + 135° = 180°
∴ m∠COD = 180°- 135°
∴ m∠COD = 45° …(ii)

ii. m(arc AB) = m∠AOB = 45° … [From (i)]
m(arc DC) = m∠DOC = 45° .. .[From (ii)]
∴ m(arc AB) = m(arc DC) …[From (i) and (ii)]
∴ arc AB ≅ arc CD
… [If the measures of two arcs of a circle are same, then the two arcs are congruent]

iii. arc AB ≅ arc CD
∴ chord AB ≅ chord CD ….[The chords corresponding to congruent arcs are congruent]
