Questions Pg-193
Question 1.

A square of side 5 centimetres, and four isosceles triangles of base 5 centimetres and height 8 centimetres, are to be put together to make a square pyramid. How many square centimeters of paper is needed?


Answer:

Given: side of a square = 5cm

There are 4 isosceles triangle


Base (b) = 5cm


Height (h) = 8cm


Area of a square base (A) = side × side


= 5 × 5


Area of a square base (A) = 25 cm2


Area of one isosceles triangle



Area of one isosceles triangle = 20cm2


Area of 4 isosceles triangle = 4 × 20 = 80cm2


Total surface area = 25 + 80 = 105cm2



Question 2.

A toy is in the shape of a square pyramid of base edge 16 centimetres and slant height 10 centimetres. What is the total cost of painting 500 such toys, a 80 rupees per square metre?


Answer:

Given: side of a square = 16cm

Slant Height (l) = 10 cm


We know that,


Surface area of a pyramid


Where, p = perimeter of the base


l = slant height


A = area of the base


Area of a square base (A) = side × side


= 16 × 16


Area of a square base (A) = 256 cm2


Perimeter of a square base (p) = 4 × side


= 4 × 16


Perimeter of a square base (p) = 64 cm


Since, Surface area of a pyramid


⇒ Surface area of a pyramid


Total surface area of pyramid shaped toys = 500 × 576


= 288000cm2


= 28.8m2


Cost of 1m2 = 80Rs.


Cost of 28.8m2 = 28.8 × 80 = 2304 Rs.



Question 3.

The lateral faces of a square pyramid are equilateral triangles and the length of a base edge is 30 centimetres. What is its surface area?


Answer:

Given lateral faces of square pyramid is equilateral triangle

side = 30cm


Since it is a equilateral triangle


lateral Base (b) = 30 cm


Area of a square base (A) = side × side


= 30 × 30


Area of a square base (A) = 900 cm2




Area of an equilateral triangle = 225√3 cm2


Area of an 4 equilateral triangle = 4× 225√3 = 900√3 cm2


Total surface area = 900 + 900√3 = 900(1 + √3)cm2



Question 4.

The perimeter of the base of square pyramid is 40 centimetres and the total length of all its edges is 92 centimetres. Calculate its surface area.


Answer:

Let b be the base edge

And l be the lateral edge


Then we can write:


4b + 4l = 92 cm …..(1)


But 4b = 40 cm.


So we get


Substituting this value of b in (1) we get:


40 + 4l = 92


⇒ 4l = 52


⇒ l = 13cm


Altitude of one isosceles triangle = √(132 – 52)


= √(169 – 25)


= √144 = 12cm


Now, we can calculate the total surface area


Base area = 10 × 10 = 100cm2


Area of one isosceles triangle



Area of one isosceles triangle = 60cm2


Area of 4 isosceles triangle = 4 × 60 = 240cm2


Total surface area = 100 + 240 = 340cm2



Question 5.

Can we make a square pyramid with the lateral surface area equal to the base area?


Answer:

Consider pyramid as shown in figure given along.



Lateral surface are of pyramid is given by formula



As the base is given to be square, So l=w=x,



And base area = x2


So for base area to be equal to LSA,





Or, h=0


Thus, it is not possible to have a pyramid with lateral surface area equal to base area.




Questions Pg-195
Question 1.

Using a square and four triangles with dimensions as specified in the picture, a pyramid is made.



What is the height of this pyramid?

What if the square and triangles are like this?



Answer:

From the first figure we get.


Slant Height LG = 18cm


Base BC = 24cm


Height of pyramid



= √ (324 – 122)


= √ (324 – 144)


Height AC = √180 cm = 6√5 cm


From the second diagram we get,



LH = Height of pyramid


HG = Half of a diagonal


BC = base edge = 24cm


LG = lateral edge = 30cm


BG = Full diagonal = √(242+ 242) = 24√2 cm



By Pythagoras theorem


HL = √(LG2 – HG2)


= √(302 – (12√2)2)


= √(900 – 288)


= √612 cm



Question 2.

A square pyramid of base edge 10 centimetres and height 12 centimetres is to be made of paper. What should be the dimension of the triangles?


Answer:

Base edge (b) = 10cm

Height (h) = 12cm




= √(144 + 52)


= √(144 + 25)


Slant Height = √169 = 13cm



Question 3.

Prove that in any square pyramid, the squares of the height, slant height and lateral edge are in arithmetic sequence.


Answer:


In the diagram,


e = lateral edge


s = slant height


h = height of pyramid


l = side of square base


With the help of diagram given below we get that, diagonal of square base is of length l√2



From the figures and Pythagoras theorem,



(1)


Also,


(2)


By comparing (1) and (2) we get that,


h2, s2 and e2 are in AP with,


First term, a= h2


Common difference, d=


Hence, proved.



Question 4.

A square pyramid is to be made with the triangle shown here as a lateral face. What would be its height? What if the base edge is 40 centimetres instead of 30 centimetres?



Answer:


LH = Height of pyramid


HG = Half of a diagonal


BC = base edge = 30cm


LG = lateral edge = 25cm


BG = Full diagonal = √(302+ 302) = 30√2 cm



By Pythagoras theorem


HL = √(LG2 + HG2)


= √(252 + (15√2)2)


= √(625 + 450)


= √1075 cm



LH = Height of pyramid


HG = Half of a diagonal


BC = base edge = 40cm


LG = lateral edge = 25cm


BG = Full diagonal = √(402+ 402) = 40√2 cm



By Pythagoras theorem


HL = √(LG2 + HG2)


= √(252 + (20√2)2)


= √(625 + 800)


= √1425 cm




Questions Pg-197
Question 1.

What is the volume of a square pyramid of base edge 10 centimetres and slant height 15 centimetres?


Answer:

Given: base edge (b) = 10cm

Slant height (l) = 15cm




= √(225 – 52)


= √(225 – 25)


Height = √200 = 10√2 cm


Base area = (base edge)2


= (10)2


Base area = 100cm2


We know that,






Question 2.

All edges of a square pyramid are 18 centimetres. What is its volume?


Answer:


LH = Height of pyramid


HG = Half of a diagonal


BC = base edge = 18cm


LG = lateral edge = 18cm


BG = Full diagonal = √(182+ 182) = 18√2 cm



By Pythagoras theorem


HL = √(LG2 – HG2)


= √(182 – (9√2)2)


= √(324 – 162)


= √162 cm


We know that,


Volume of a pyramid


Volume of a pyramid




Question 5.

The slant height of a square pyramid is 25 centimetres and its surface area is 896 square centimetres. What is its volume?


Answer:

Let the base edge be (2a) cm


Then area of one isosceles triangle


.


Area of four isosceles triangles = 4×25a = 100a cm2.


Base area = (2a)2 = 4a2 cm2.


Total surface area = (100a + 4a2)cm2


Given total surface area = 896


∴ 100a + 4a2 = 896


⇒ a2 + 25a – 224 = 0


Using,


We get,







⇒ a = 7 or – 32


Since, base edge cannot be negative


∴ a = 7 cm



LG = Slant height = 25cm


HG = Half of base = 7cm


Apply Pythagoras theorem


LH = √(252 – 72)


= √(625 – 49)


= √576 = 24cm


Volume of a pyramid


Volume of a pyramid



Question 6.

All edges of a square pyramid are of the same length and its height is 12 centimetres. What is its volume?


Answer:

Let all the edges of the square prism be 'a'.

The lateral edge BC is also 'a'.



HL = height of pyramid


HG = half of a diagonal of the base


LG = Lateral edge = a Cm


Full diagonal BG = √(a2 + a2) = a√2 cm


Half diagonal


Applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:


LH = √(LG2 – HG2)





Given: LH = 12cm


Thus


⇒ a = 12√2 cm


Volume of a pyramid


Volume of a pyramid



Question 7.

What is the surface area of a square pyramid of base perimeter 64 centimetres and volume 1280 cubic centimetres?


Answer:

Base perimeter is given as 64 cm.

So base edge


Volume is given as 1280 cm3.


We know that,





⇒ h = 15 cm


Let height of pyramid (h) = 15 cm


half of base edge = 8 cm


slant height = l


Applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:


l = √(152 + 82)


= √(225 + 64)


= √289


= 17 cm


Then area of one isosceles triangle



Area of four isosceles triangles = 4×136 = 544 cm2


Base area = 162 = 256 cm2.


Total surface area = (544 + 256) = 800 cm2




Questions Pg-200
Question 1.

What are the radius of the base and slant height of a cone made by rolling up a sector of central angle 60° cut out from a circle of radius 10 centimetres?


Answer:

Given that radius of the circle is 10 cm.

This will be same as the radius of the sector, rs = 10


This rs will be the slant height l of the cone.


Slant height l = 10 cm


Central angle θ = 60°


the length of arc will be


Thus, the length of arc will be .


But this is same as the circumference of the base of the cone


So if rb is the radius of the base of the cone





Question 2.

What is the central angle of the sector to be used to make a cone of base radius 10 centimetres and slant height 25 centimetres?


Answer:

Given that slant height of the cone should be 25 cm.

So radius of the sector rs = 25 cm


To find: Central angle θ


Radius of the base rb = 10 cm


So circumference of the base = 2πrb = 2π×10 = 20π cm ..(1)


This circumference is equal to the length of the arc


The length of arc will be


Thus, the length of arc will be . …(2)


Equating the results in (1) and (2):



⇒ θ = 144°



Question 3.

What is the ratio of the base – radius and slant height of a cone made by rolling up a semicircle?


Answer:

Here, The sector is a semicircle

Let rs be the radius of the sector.


Then slant height of the cone will be rs.


Central angle θ of a semi circle = 180°


The arc length of a semicircle is 'half the circumference of the full circle'


The 'circumference of the full circle' is 2πrs.


So half of it is πrs.


This is same as the circumference of the base of the cone


So if rb is the radius of the base of the cone,


2πrb = πrs



But rs is the slant height.





Questions Pg-201
Question 1.

What is the area of the curved surface of a cone of base radius 12 centimetres and slant height 25 centimetres?


Answer:

Given: base radius rb = 12cm

Slant height l = 25cm


We know that, Curved surface area of cone = πrbl


Where rb = base radius and l = slant height


Curved surface area of cone = π× 25× 12 = 300π cm2



Question 2.

What is the surface area of a cone of base diameter 30 centimetres and height 40 centimetres?


Answer:

height of the cone = 40 cm

Base diameter = 30cm


Base radius


l = slant height


Applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:


l = √(h2 + rb2)


= √(402 + 152)


= √(1600 + 225) = √1825 cm


We know that, Curved surface area of cone = πrbl


Where rb = base radius and l = slant height


Curved surface area of cone = π× 15× √18255 = 640.8π cm2


Surface area of base = πrb2 = π × 152 = 225π cm2.


Total surface area = (640.8 + 225)π = 865.8π cm2



Question 3.

A conical fire work is of base diameter 10 centimetres and height 12 centimetres. 10000 such fireworks are to be wrapped in colour paper. The price of the colour paper is 2 rupees per square metre. What is the total cost?


Answer:

height of the cone (h) = 12 cm

Diameter of a cone = 10cm


Base radius


l = slant height


Applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:


l = √(h2 + rb2)


= √(122 + 52)


= √(144 + 25) = √169 cm = 13cm


We know that, Curved surface area of cone = πrbl


Where rb = base radius and l = slant height


Curved surface area of cone = π× 5× 13 = 65π cm2


Surface area of base = πrb2 = π × 52 = 25π cm2.


Total surface area = (65 + 25)π = 90π cm2 = 90× 3.14 = 282.6cm2


Surface area of 10000 fire works = 282.6 × 10000 = 2826000 cm2.



So cost of colour paper = 282.6 × 2 = Rs 565.20



Question 4.

Prove that for a cone made by rolling up a semicircle, the area of the curved surface is twice the base area.


Answer:

Let the radius of the sector be rs

Central angle θ is 180° (∵ the sector is a semicircle)


Let the radius of the base be rb


So circumference of the base = 2πrb …(1)


This circumference is equal to the length of the arc


Since, the arc length of a semicircle is 'half the circumference of the


full circle'


The 'circumference of the full circle' is 2πrs.


So half of it is πrs. …(2)


Equating the results in (1) and (2):


2πrb = πrs


⇒ 2rb = rs. ..(3)


Find the area of the sector


The area of the sector is area of the semicircle which is


Let us substitute for rs using the result in (3). We get:





= 2πrb2


Area of the sector is same as the area of curved surface.


Area of the curved surface of the cone = 2πrb2 …(4)


To find the base area.


radius of the base of the cone = rb.


So area of the base of the cone = πrb2. …(5)


Comparing the results in (4) and (5), we get:


Area of the curved surface of the cone = Twice the base area

Radius of base = rb = 4 cm


Height = h = 5 cm







= 108



Question 3.

A sector of central angle 216° is cut out from a circle of radius 25 centimetres and is rolled up into a cone. What are the base radius and height of the cone? What is its volume?


Answer:

Given that radius of the circle is 25 cm.

This will be same as the radius of the sector rs = 25 cm


This rs will be the slant height of the cone


Slant height = 25 cm


Central angle θ = 216°


The length of arc will be


Thus, the length of arc will be .


But this is same as the circumference of the base of the cone


So if rb is the radius of the base of the cone


⇒ 2πrb = 30π


⇒ rb = 30cm


Also,


height of the cone = h


base radius = rb = 15 cm


slant height = l = 25 cm


Applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:


h = √(l2 – rb2)


= √(252 – 152)


= √(625 – 225) = √400 = 20 cm




= 1500π cm3

Question 5.

Form a solid sphere of radius 10 centimetres, a cone of height 16 centimetres is carved out. What fraction of the volume of the sphere is the volume of the cone?


Answer:

1. Consider the red sphere in fig (a) below.


• Two ellipses are drawn inside it: A dotted ellipse and a dashed ellipse


• The dashed ellipse represents a circle whose centre is same as the centre of the sphere


♦ Also this circle is horizontal


• So this circle divides the sphere into an upper hemisphere and a lower hemisphere


• This circle is taken as the base of the cone in fig.b.


• We can see that, the cone fits perfectly in the upper hemisphere.


• This is shown more clearly in fig.c


2. From fig.c we can see that, the height of the cone will be the height of the hemisphere, which is 10 cm


• But cone given in the question has a height of 16 cm.


• So the given cone does not fit inside the upper hemisphere alone.


♦ It will occupy some portion of the lower hemisphere also


• This is shown in fig (b) below. In that fig. we can see that the, base of the new cone is below the dashed ellipse



3. In fig (c), the measurements are given


• One half of the cone is represented by the right triangle ABC


• The distance of the apex C from the centre O will be the radius of the sphere, which is 10 cm


• So the remaining distance OA will be (16 – 10) = 6 cm


• Distance OB will also be the radius 10 cm


• Applying Pythagoras theorem to the right triangle OAB, we get:



= 102 – 62


= 100 – 36


= 64


⟹ AB = 8 cm


4. Thus we have:


• Height of the cone, h = 16 cm


• Radius of the cone, rc = 8 cm


• So Volume,


• Volume of sphere,


5. Taking ratios, we get:






• So 'volume of the cone' is of the 'volume of the sphere'



Question 6.

The picture shows the dimensions of a petrol tank.



How many litres of petrol can it hold?


Answer:

The tank has two hemispherical parts and one cylindrical part

The yellow dashed line indicates the axis of the tank


From the fig., it is clear that radius of the hemisphere is 1 m.


So it's volume


Thus volume of two hemispheres


Height of a hemisphere will be equal to it's radius.


So length of the cylindrical part = [6 – (2×1)] = 4 m


Volume of cylinder = Vc = πr2h = π×12×4 = 4π m3


Thus total volume .


We know that 1 liter is the volume of a cube of edge 10 cm


Now, 16746666.67 cm3.


(∵ 1 m = 100 cm)


Thus the no. of liters = 16746666.67⁄1000 = 16746.67 liters



Question 7.

A solid sphere is cut into two hemispheres. From one, a square pyramid and from the other a cone. each of maximum possible size are carved out. What is the ratio of their volumes?


Answer:

1. Consider the red hemisphere in fig (a) below.


• A dotted ellipse and a dashed curve are drawn inside it


• The dashed ellipse represents the base of the hemisphere


• For maximum possible volume, this base is taken as the base of the cone in fig. (b)


• We can see that, the cone fits perfectly in the hemisphere.


• This is shown more clearly in (c)


2. From fig.c, we have:


• Height of the cone, = r


• Radius of the cone, = r


• So Volume,


3. Consider the red hemisphere in fig (a) below. It is the same hemisphere of radius r, that we saw for the cone above



• A square is drawn in the base of the hemisphere


• This square is the base of the pyramid


4. For maximum possible volume, the diagonal of the square must be equal to the diameter of the circle


• So in fig. c, we can write:


OP = OQ = half of diameter = radius = r


5. OPQ is a right triangle. We can apply Pythagoras theorem


• Then base edge = PQ = = = = r


6. So volume of the pyramid, =



7. Now we can take the ratio:



• Thus we get:


: = 2 : π
