Question 1.
If diameter of a road roller is 0.9 m and its length is 1.4 m, how much area of a field will be pressed in its 500 rotations? ( π = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\))
Given: For road roller,
diameter (d) = 0.9 m, length (h) = 1.4 m
To find: Area of a field pressed in 500 rotations
Solution:
i. Since, area of field pressed in 1 rotation of road roller = curved surface area of road roller
∴ Curved surface area of the road roller = 2πrh
= πdh ,..[∵ d = 2r]
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 0.9 x 1.4 7
= 22 x 0.9 x 0.2
= 3.96 sq.m.

ii. Area of land pressed in 1 rotation = 3.96 sq.m.
∴Area of land pressed in 500 rotations = 500 x 3.96
= 1980 sq.m.
∴ 1980 sq.m, land will be pressed in 500 rotations of the road roller.

Question 2.
To make an open fish tank, a glass sheet of 2 mm gauge is used. The outer length, breadth and height of the tank are 60.4 cm, 40.4 cm and 40.2 cm respectively. How much maximum volume of water will be contained in it ?
Given: Thickness of the glass = 2 mm,
outer length of the tank = 60.4 cm,
outer breadth of the tank = 40.4 cm,
outer height of the tank = 40.2 cm
To find: Volume of water fish tank contains
Solution:

i. Thickness oldie glass = 2 mm.
= \(\frac { 2 }{ 10 }\) cm
= 0.2 cm
Outerlengthofthetank = 60.4 cm
∴ Inner length oldie tank (l) = Outer length – thickness oldie glass on both sides
= 60.4 – 0.2 – 0.2
= 60cm
Outer breadth oldie tank = 40.4 cm
∴ Inner breadth of the tank (b) = 40.4 – 0.2 – 0.2
= 40 cm
Outer height of the tank = 40.2 cm
∴Inner height of the tank (h) = 40.2 – 0.2
= 40 cm

ii. Maximum volume of water that can be contained in the tank = volume of the tank
= l x b x h
= 60 x 40 x 40
= 96000 cubic cm.
∴ The fishtank can contain maximum of 96000 cubic cm. water in it.

Question 3.
If the ratio of radius of base and height of a cone is 5 : 12 and its volume is 314 cubic metre. Find its perpendicular height and slant height (π = 3.14).
Given: Ratio of radius of base and height of a cone = 5 : 12,
Volume = 314 cubic metre
To find: Perpendicular height (h) and slant height (l)
Solution:
i. The ratio of radius and height of cone is 5 : 12
Let the common multiple be x.
∴ Radius of base (r) = 5x
Perpendicular height (h) = 12x

∴ x³ = 1
∴ x = 1 … [Taking cube root on both sides]
∴ r = 5x = 5(1) = 5m
h = 12x = 12(1) = 12 m

ii. Now, l² = r² + h²
= 5² + 12²
= 25 + 144
∴l² = 169
∴ l = \(\sqrt { 169 }\) … [Taking square root on both sides]
= 13 m
The perpendicular height and slant height of the cone are 12 m and 13 m respectively.

Question 4.
Find the radius of a sphere if its volume is 904.32 cubic cm. (π = 3.14)
Given: Volume of sphere = 904.32 cubic cm.
To find: Radius of a sphere
Solution:
Volume of sphere = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) πr³
∴ 904.32 = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) x 3.14 x r³

= 216
∴ r = \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ 216 }\) … [Taking cube root on both sides]
= 6 cm
∴ The radius of the sphere is 6 cm.

Question 5.
Total surface area of a cube is 864 sq.cm. Find its volume.
Given: Total surface area of cube = 864 sq. cm
To find: Volume of cube
Solution:
i. Total surface area of cube = 6l²
∴ 864 = 6l²
∴ l²= \(\sqrt [ 864 ]{ 6 }\)
∴ l² = 144
∴ l = \(\sqrt { 144 }\) … [Taking square root on both sides]
= 12 cm

ii. Volume of cube = l²
= 12³
= 1728 cubic cm.
∴ The volume of cube is 1728 cubic cm.

Question 6.
Find the volume of a sphere, if its surface area is 154 sq.cm.
Given: Surface area of sphere = 154 sq. cm.
To find: Volume of sphere
Solution:
i. Surface area of sphere = 4πr²


∴ The volume of sphere is 179.67 cubic cm.

Question 7.
Total surface area of a cone is 616 sq.cm. If the slant ‘height of the cone Is three times the radius of its base, find its slant height.
Given: Total surface area of a cone = 616 sq.cm., slant height of the cone is three times the radius of its base
To find: Slant height (l)
Solution:
i. Let the radius of base be r cm.
∴ Slant height (l) = 3r cm
Total surface area of cone = πr (l + r)
∴ 616 = πr(l + r)
∴ 616 = \(\sqrt [ 22 ]{ 7 }\) x r x (3r + r)
∴ 616 = \(\sqrt [ 22 ]{ 7 }\) x 4r²

∴ r² = 49
∴ r = \(\sqrt { 49 }\) … [Taking square root on both sides]
= 7

ii. Slant height (l) = 3r = 3 x 7 = 21 cm
∴ The slant height of the cone is 21 cm.

Question 8.
The inner diameter of a well is 4.20 metre and its depth is 10 metre. Find the inner surface area of the well. Find the cost of plastering it from inside at the rate ₹ 52 per sq.m.
Given: Inner diameter (d) = 4.2 m,
To find: depth (h) = 10 m,
rate of plastering = ₹ 52 per sq.m.
Inner surface area and total cost of plastering
Solution:
i. Inner curved surface area of the well = 2πrh
= πdh …[∵ d = 2r]
= \(\sqrt [ 22 ]{ 7 }\) x 4.2 x 10
= \(\sqrt [ 22 ]{ 7 }\) x 42
= 22 x 6
= 132 sq.m.

ii. Rate of plastering = ₹52 per sq.m.
∴ Total cost = Curved surface area x Rate of plastering
= 132 x 52 = ₹6864
∴ The cost of plastering the well from inside is ₹6864.

Question 9.
The length of a road roller is 2.1 m and its diameter is 1.4 m. For levelling a ground 500 rotations of the road roller were required. How much area of ground was levelled by the road roller? Find the cost of levelling at the rate of ₹ 7 per sq.m.
Given: For road roller,
diameter (d) = 1.4 m,
length (h) = 2.1 m
number of rotations required for levelling the ground = 500,
rate of levelling = ₹ 7 per sq. m.
To find: Area of ground leveled by the road roller and cost of levelling
Solution:
i. Since, area of ground levelled in 1 rotation of road roller = curved surface area of road roller
∴Curved surface area of the road roller = 2πrh
= πdh …[∵ d = 2r]
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 1.4 x 2.1
= 22 x 0.2 x 2.1
= 9.24 sq.m.

ii. Area of ground levelled in 1 rotation = 9.24 sq.m.
∴Area of ground levelled in 500 rotations = 9.24 x 500
= 4620 sq.m.

iii. Rate of levelling ₹ 7 per sq.m.
∴Total cost = Area of ground levelled x Rate of levelling
= 4620 x 7
= ₹32340
∴ The road roller levels 4620 sq.m. land in 500 rotation, and the cost of levelling is ₹32340.

Question 1.
Curved surface area of cone. (Textbook pg. no. 116)

Circumference of base of the cone = 2πr
As shown in the figure (c), make pieces of the net as small as possible. Join them as shown in the figure (d),. By joining the small pieces of net of the cone, we get a rectangle ABCD approximately.
Total length of AB and CD is 2πr.
∴ length of side AB of rectangle ABCD is πr and length of side CD is also πr.
Length of side BC of rectangle = slant height of cone = l.
Curved surface area of cone is equal to the area of the rectangle.
∴ curved surface area of cone = Area of rectangle = AB x BC = πr x l = πrl

Solution:
i. TS = 5, SU = 12 …[Given]
In ∆TSU, ∠S = 90° … [Given]
∴ TU² = TS² + SU² …[Pythagoras theorem]
= 5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169
∴ TU = \(\sqrt { 169 }\) .. .[Taking square root of both sides]

Question 1.
Measuring height of a tree using trigonometric ratios. (Textbook pg. no. 101)

This experiment can be conducted on a clear sunny day. Look at the figure given above. Height of the tree is QR, height of the stick is BC.
Thrust a stick in the ground as shown in the figure. Measure its height and length of its shadow. Also measure the length of the shadow of the tree. Using these values, how will you determine the height of the tree?
Solution:
Rays of sunlight are parallel.
So, ∆PQR and ∆ABC are equiangular i.e., similar triangles.
Sides of similar triangles are proportional.
∴ \(\frac { QR }{BC }\) = \(\frac { PR }{ AC }\)
∴ Height of the tree (QR) = \(\frac { BC }{ AC }\) x PR
Substituting the values of PR, BC and AC in the above equation, we can get length of QR i.e., the height of the tree.

Question 2.
It is convenient to do the above experiment between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm instead of doing it in the morning at 8’O clock. Can you tell why? (Textbook pg. no. 101)
Solution:
At 8’O clock in the morning, the sunlight is not very bright. At the same time, the sun is on the horizon and the shadow would by very long. It would be extremely difficult to measure shadow in that case.
Between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm, the sun is overhead and it would be easier to measure the length of shadow.

Question 3.
Conduct the above discussed activity and find the height of a tall tree in your surrounding. If there is no tree in the premises, then find the height of a pole. (Textbook pg. no. 101)

Solution:
In ∆PQR,
PQ = 10 cm, QR = 12 cm, PR = 8 cm [Given]
Since, 12 > 10 > 8
∴ QR > PQ > PR
∴ ∠QPR > ∠PRQ > PQR [Angle opposite to greater side is greater]

Question 4.
In ∆FAN, ∠F = 80°, ∠A = 40°. Find out the greatest and the smallest side of the triangle. State the reason.

Solution:
In ∆FAN,
∠F + ∠A + ∠N = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
∴ 80° + 40° + ∠N = 180°
∴ ∠N = 180° – 80° – 40°
∴∠N = 60°
Since, 80° > 60° > 40°

i.e. ∠A ≅ ∠B ≅ ∠C …(i) [Sides of an equilateral triangle]
In ∆ABC,
seg AB ≅ seg BC [From (i)]
∴ ∠C = ∠A (ii) [Isosceles triangle theorem]
In ∆ABC,
seg BC ≅ seg AC [From (i)]
∴ ∠A ≅ ∠B (iii) [Isosceles triangle theorem]
∴ ∠A ≅ ∠B ≅ ∠C [From (ii) and (iii)]
∴ ∆ABC is equiangular.

Question 6.
Prove that, if the bisector of ∠BAC of ∆ABC is perpendicular to side BC, then AABC is an isosceles triangle.

Given: Seg AD is the bisector of ∠BAC.
seg AD ⊥ seg BC
To prove: AABC is an isosceles triangle.
Proof.
In ∆ABD and ∆ACD,
∠BAD ≅ ∠CAD [seg AD is the bisector of ∠BAC]
seg AD ≅ seg AD [Common side]
∠ADB ≅ ∠ADC [Each angle is of measure 90°]
∴ ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD [ASA test]
∴ seg AB ≅ seg AC [c. s. c. t.]
∴ ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Question 7.
In the adjoining figure, if seg PR ≅ seg PQ, show that seg PS > seg PQ.

Solution:
Proof.
In ∆PQR,
seg PR ≅ seg PQ [Given]
∴ ∠PQR ≅ ∠PRQ ….(i) [Isosceles triangle theorem]
∠PRQ is the exterior angle of ∆PRS.
∴ ∠PRQ > ∠PSR ….(ii) [Property of exterior angle]
∴ ∠PQR > ∠PSR [From (i) and (ii)]
i.e. ∠Q > ∠S ….(iii)
In APQS,
∠Q > ∠S [From (iii)]
∴ PS > PQ [Side opposite to greater angle is greater]
∴ seg PS > seg PQ

Question 8.
In the adjoining figure, in AABC, seg AD and seg BE are altitudes and AE = BD. Prove that seg AD = seg BE.

Solution:
Proof:
In ∆ADB and ∆BEA,
seg BD ≅ seg AE [Given]
∠ADB ≅ ∠BEA = 90° [Given]
seg AB ≅ seg BA [Common side]
∴ ∆ADB ≅ ∆BEA [Hypotenuse-side test]

(A) 2 cm
(B) 1 cm
(C) 8 cm
(D) 7 cm
Answer:

PQ = 8 cm, MN = 6 cm
∴ AQ = 4 cm, BN = 3 cm
∴ OQ² = OA² + AQ²
∴ 5² = OA² + 4²
∴ OA² = 25 – 16 = 9

Question 4.
In the adjoining figure, C is the centre of the circle, seg QT is a diameter, CT = 13, CP = 5. Find the length of chord RS.

Given: In a circle with centre C, QT is a diameter, CT = 13 units, CP = 5 units
To find: Length of chord RS
Construction: Join points R and C.
Solution:

i. CR = CT= 13 units …..(i) [Radii of the same circle]
In ∆CPR, ∠CPR = 90°
∴ CR² = CP² + RP² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 13² = 5² + RP² [From (i)]
∴ 169 = 25 + RP² [From (i)]
∴ RP² = 169 – 25 = 144
∴ RP = \(\sqrt { 144 }\) [Taking square root on both sides]
∴ RP = 12 cm ….(ii)

ii. Now, seg CP _L chord RS [Given]
∴ RP = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) RS [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord.]
∴ 12 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) RS [From (ii)]

Given: P is the centre of the circle.
Chord AB and chord CD intersect on the diameter at the point E. ∠AEP ≅ ∠DEP
To prove: AB = CD
Construction: Draw seg PM ⊥ chord AB, A-M-B
seg PN ⊥ chord CD, C-N-D
Proof:

∠AEP ≅ ∠DEP [Given]
∴ Seg ES is the bisector of ∠AED.
PoInt P is on the bisector of ∠AED.
∴ PM = PN [Every point on the bisector of an angle is equidistant from the sides of the angle.]
∴ chord AB ≅ chord CD [Chords which are equidistant from the centre are congruent.]
∴ AB = CD [Length of congruent segments]

Question 6.
In the adjoining figure, CD is a diameter of the circle with centre O. Diameter CD is perpendicular to chord AB at point E. Show that ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Given: O is the centre of the circle.
diameter CD ⊥ chord AB, A-E-B
To prove: ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Proof:
diameter CD ⊥ chord AB [Given]
∴ seg OE ⊥ chord AB [C-O-E, O-E-D]
∴ seg AE ≅ seg BE ……(i) [Perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to the chord bisects the chord]
In ∆CEA and ∆CEB,
∠CEA ≅ ∠CEB [Each is of 90°]
seg AE ≅ seg BE [From (i)]
seg CE ≅ seg CE [Common side]
∴ ∆CEA ≅ ∆CEB [SAS test]
∴ seg AC ≅ seg BC [c. s. c. t.]
∴ ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Question 2.
Construct ∆PQR such that ∠P = 70°, ∠R = 50°, QR = 7.3 cm and construct its circumcircle.
Solution:
In ∆PQR,
m∠P + m∠Q + m∠R = 180° … [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
∴ 70° + m∠Q + 50° = 180°
∴ m∠Q = 180° – 70° + m∠Q + 50° = 180°
∴ m∠Q = 180° – 70° – 50°
∴ m∠Q = 60°

Question 1.
Draw any equilateral triangle. Draw incircle and circumcircle of it. What did you observe while doing this activity? (Textbook pg. no. 85)
i. While drawing incircle and circumcircle, do the angle bisectors and perpendicular bisectors coincide with each other?
ii. Do the incentre and circumcenter coincide with each other? If so, what can be the reason of it?
iii. Measure the radii of incircle and circumcircle and write their ratio.
Solution:


Steps of construction:
i. Construct equilateral ∆XYZ of any measurement.
ii. Draw the perpendicular bisectors of side XY and side YZ of the triangle.
iii. Draw the bisectors of ∠X and ∠Z.
iv. Name the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors and angle bisectors as point I.
v. With I as centre and IM as radïus, draw a circle which touches all the three sides of the triangle.
vi. With I as centre and IZ as radius, draw a circle which passes through the three vertices of the triangle.
[Note: Here, point of intersection of perpendicular bisector and angle bisector is same.]

i. Yes.
ii. Yes.
The angle bisectors of the angles and the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of an equilateral triangle are coincedent. Hence, its incentre and circumcentre coincide.
iii. Radius of circumcircle = 3.6 cm,
Radius of incircle = 1.8 cm
\(\text { Ratio }=\frac{\text { Radius of circumcircle }}{\text { Radius of incircle }}=\frac{3.6}{1.8}=\frac{2}{1}=2 : 1\)
