Problem Set 7 Geometry Class 10 Question 2. A washing tub in the shape of a frustum of a cone has height 21 cm. The radii of the circular top and bottom are 20 cm and 15 cm respectively. What is the capacity of the tub? = (π = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \))
 Given: For the frustum shaped tub,
 height (h) = 21 cm,
 radii (r1) = 20 cm, and (r2) = 15 cm
 To find: Capacity (volume) of the tub.
 Solution:
 Volume of frustum = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) πh (r12 + r22 + r1 × r2)
 
 ∴ The capacity of the tub is 20.35 litres.
10th Geometry Problem Set 7 Question 3. Some plastic balls of radius 1 cm were melted and cast into a tube. The thickness, length and outer radius of the tube were 2 cm, 90 cm and 30 cm respectively. How many balls were melted to make the tube?
 Given: For the cylindrical tube,
 height (h) = 90 cm,
 outer radius (R) = 30 cm,
 thickness = 2 cm
 For the plastic spherical ball,
 radius (r1) = 1 cm
 To find: Number of balls melted.
 Solution:
 
 Inner radius of tube (r)
 = outer radius – thickness of tube
 = 30 – 2
 = 28 cm
 Volume of plastic required for the tube = Outer volume of tube – Inner volume of hollow tube
 = πR2h – πr2h
 = πh(R2 – r2)
 = π × 90 (302 – 282)
 = π × 90 (30 + 28) (30 – 28) …[∵ a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b)]
 = 90 × 58 × 2π cm3
 
 ∴ 7830 plastic balls were melted to make the tube.
Problem Set 7 Geometry Question 4.
 A metal parallelopiped of measures 16 cm × 11cm × 10cm was melted to make coins. How many coins were made if the thickness and diameter of each coin was 2 mm and 2 cm respectively?
 Given: For the parallelopiped.,
 length (l) = 16 cm, breadth (b) = 11 cm,
 height (h) = 10 cm
 For the cylindrical coin,
 thickness (H) = 2 mm,
 diameter (D) 2 cm
 To find: Number of coins made.
 Solution:
 Volume of parallelopiped = l × b × h
 = 16 × 11 × 10
 = 1760 cm3
 Thickness of coin (H) = 2 mm
 = 0.2 cm …[∵ 1 cm = 10 mm]
 Diameter of coin (D) = 2 cm
 
 ∴ 2800 coins were made by melting the parallelopiped.
Mensuration Problem Question 5.  The diameter and length of a roller is 120 cm and 84 cm respectively. To level the ground, 200 rotations of the roller are required. Find the expenditure to level the ground at the rate of ₹ 10 per sq.m.
 Given: For the cylindrical roller,
 diameter (d) =120 cm,
 length = height (h) = 84 cm
 To find: Expenditure of levelling the ground.
 Solution:
 Diameter of roller (d) = 120 cm
 
 Now, area of ground levelled in one rotation = curved surface area of roller
 = 3.168 m2
 ∴ Area of ground levelled in 200 rotations
 = 3.168 × 200 =
 633.6 m2
 Rate of levelling = ₹ 10 per m2
 ∴ Expenditure of levelling the ground
 = 633.6 × 10 = ₹ 6336
 ∴ The expenditure of levelling the ground is ₹ 6336.
Question 6.
 The diameter and thickness of a hollow metal sphere are 12 cm and 0.01 m respectively. The density of the metal is 8.88 gm per cm3. Find the outer surface area and mass of the sphere, [π = 3.14]
 Given: For the hollow sphere,
 diameter (D) =12 cm, thickness = 0.01 m
 density of the metal = 8.88 gm per cm3
 To find: i. Outer surface area of the sphere
 ii. Mass of the sphere.
 
 Solution:
 Diameter of the sphere (D)
 = 12 cm
 ∴ Radius of sphere (R)
 = \(\frac { d }{ 2 } \) = \(\frac { 12 }{ 2 } \) = 6 cm
 ∴ Surface area of sphere = 4πR2
 = 4 × 3.14 × 62
 = 452.16 cm2
 Thickness of sphere = 0.01 m
 = 0.01 × 100 cm …[∵ 1 m = 100 cm]
 = 1 cm
 ∴ Inner radius of the sphere (r)
 = Outer radius – thickness of sphere
 = 6 – 1 = 5 cm
 ∴ Volume of hollow sphere
 = Volume of outer sphere – Volume of inner sphere
 
 ∴ The outer surface area and the mass of the sphere are 452.16 cm2 and 3383.19 gm respectively.
Question 7.
 A cylindrical bucket of diameter 28 cm and height 20 cm was full of sand. When the sand in the bucket was poured on the ground, the sand got converted into a shape of a cone. If the height of the cone was 14 cm, what was the base area of the cone?
 Given: For the cylindrical bucket,
 diameter (d) = 28 cm, height (h) = 20 cm
 For the conical heap of sand,
 height (H) = 14 cm
 To find: Base area of the cone (πR2).
 Solution:
 Diameter of the bucket (d) = 28 cm
 
 
 The base area of the cone is 2640 cm2.
Question 8.
 The radius of a metallic sphere is 9 cm. It was melted to make a wire of diameter 4 mm. Find the length of the wire.
 Given: For metallic sphere,
 radius (R) = 9 cm
 For the cylindrical wire,
 diameter (d) = 4 mm
 To find: Length of wire (h).
 Solution:
 
 ∴ The length of the wire is 243 m.
Question 9.
 The area of a sector of a circle of 6 cm radius is 157t sq.cm. Find the measure of the arc and length of the arc corresponding to the sector.
 Given: Radius (r) = 6 cm,
 area of sector = 15 π cm2
 To find: i. Measure of the arc (θ),
 ii. Length of the arc (l)
 Solution:
 
 ∴ The measure of the arc and the length of the arc are 150° and 5π cm respectively.
Question 10.
 In the adjoining figure, seg AB is a chord of a circle with centre P. If PA = 8 cm and distance of chord AB from the centre P is 4 cm, find the area of the shaded portion.
 
 (π = 3.14, \(\sqrt { 3 }\) = 1.73)
 Given: Radius (r) = PA = 8 cm,
 PC = 4 cm
 To find: Area of shaded region.
 Solution:
 
 Similarly, we can show that, ∠BPC = 60°
 ∠APB = ∠APC + ∠BPC …[Angle sum property]
 ∴ θ = 60° + 60° = 120°
 
 
 Area of shaded region = A(P-ADB) – A(∆APB)
 = 66.98 – 27.68
 = 39.30 cm2
 ∴ The area of the shaded region is 39.30 cm2.
Question 11.
 In the adjoining figure, square ABCD is inscribed in the sector A-PCQ. The radius of sector C-BXD is 20 cm. Complete the following activity to find the area of shaded region.
 
 Solution:
 Side of square ABCD
 = radius of sector C-BXD = [20] cm
 Area of square = (side)2 = 202 = 400 cm2 ….(i)
 Area of shaded region inside the square = Area of square ABCD – Area of sector C-BXD
 
 Radius of bigger sector
 = Length of diagonal of square ABCD
 = \(\sqrt { 2 }\) × side
 = 20 \(\sqrt { 2 }\) cm
 Area of the shaded regions outside the square
 = Area of sector A-PCQ – Area of square ABCD
 = A(A – PCQ) – A(꠸ABCD)
 
 Alternate method:
 
 □ABCD is a square. … [Given]
 Side of □ABCD = radius of sector (C-BXD)
 = 20 cm
 Radius of sector (A-PCQ) = Diagonal
 = \(\sqrt { 2 }\) × side
 = \(\sqrt { 2 }\) × 20
 = 20 \(\sqrt { 2 }\) cm
 
 Now, Area of shaded region
 = A(A-PCQ) – A(C-BXD)
 = 628 – 314
 = 314 cm2
 ∴ The area of the shaded region is 314 cm2.
Question 12.
 In the adjoining figure, two circles with centres O and P are touching internally at point A. If BQ = 9, DE = 5, complete the following activity to find the radii of the circles.
 
 Solution:
 Let the radius of the bigger circle be R and that of smaller circle be r.
 OA, OB, OC and OD are the radii of the bigger circle.
 ∴ OA = OB = OC = OD = R
 PQ = PA = r
 OQ + BQ = OB … [B – Q – O]
 OQ = OB – BQ = R – 9
 OE + DE = OD ….[D – E – O]
 OE = OD – DE = [R – 5]
 As the chords QA and EF of the circle with centre P intersect in the interior of the circle, so by the property of internal division of two chords of a circle,
 OQ × OA = OE × OF
 ∴ (R – 9) × R = (R – 5) × (R – 5) …[∵ OE = OF]
 ∴ R2 – 9R = R2 – 10R + 25
 ∴ -9R + 10R = 25
 ∴ R = [25units]
 AQ = AB – BQ = 2r ….[B-Q-A]
 ∴ 2r = 50 – 9 = 41
 ∴ r = \(\frac { 41 }{ 2 } \) = 20.5 units
