Answer:
(b) 7 cm
Circumference of circle = 22 cm
∴ 2πr = 22
⇒ 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r = 22
⇒ r = \(\frac{7 \times 22}{2 \times 22}\)
⇒ r = \(\frac{7}{2}\) = 3.5 cm
∴ Diameter of the circle = 2r
Hence, (b) is the correct option.

= 30 dm2
Hence, (d) is the correct answer.
B. Answer the following questions.
(i) Find the area of a parallelogram whose base is 14 cm and height is 5 cm.
Answer:
Base of parallelogram = 14 cm
Height of parallelogram = 5 cm
Area of parallelogram = Base × Height
= 14 cm × 5 cm
= 70 cm2
∴ Area of parallelogram is 70 cm2.
(ii) Find the height of a rhombus whose area is 168 dm2 and the corresponding base is 21 dm.
Answer:
Here, base of rhombus = 21 dm
Area of rhombus = 168 dm2
Height of rhombus = ?
Area of rhombus = Base × Height
⇒ 168 dm2 = 21 dm × Height
⇒ Height = \(\frac{168 \mathrm{dm}^2}{21 \mathrm{dm}}\) = 8 dm
Hence, the height of rhombus is 8 dm
(iii) A 44 cm long wire is bent to form a circle. Find the diameter of the circle.
Answer:
Let the radius of the circle be r cm.
According to the question, we have
Circumference of the circle = Length of the wire
∴ 44 cm = 2πr
= 44 = 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r
⇒ r = \(\frac{44 \times 7}{2 \times 22}\)
⇒ r = 7
But, diameter of the circle = 2r = 2(7)
= 14 cm
Hence, the diameter of the circle is 14 cm.
(iv) Find the area of a circle whose circumference is 132 cm.
Answer:
Let the radius of the circle be r cm
Circumference of the circle = 132 cm
⇒ r = \(\frac{7 \times 132}{2 \times 22}\)
⇒ r = \(\frac{924}{44}\)
⇒ r = 21 cm
Now, area of circle = πr2
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × (21)2 cm2
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 21 × 21 cm2
= 22 × 3 × 21cm2
= 1386 cm2
Hence, the area of the circle is 1386 cm2.
(v) Find area of a rhombus whose one side is 8 cm and height is 0.8 dm.
Answer:
Here, base of rhombus = 8 cm
Height of rhombus = 0.8 dm = 0.8 × 10 cm

∴ Area of rhombus = Base × Height
= 8cm × 8cm = 64 cm2
Hence, the area of rhombus is 64 cm2.
Question 2.
A path 3.5 m wide runs inside along the boundary of a square field whose side is 65 m. Find the area of the path. Also find the cost of manuring the rest of the field at the rate of ₹ 25 per square meter.
Answer:
Area of the square = (side)2
= (65)2 = 4225 m2
Side of the inner square field
= 65 – 2 × 3.5
= 65 – 7 = 58 m
Area of the inner square field = (58)2 = 3364 m2
Area of the path = 4225 – 3364 = 861 m2
Cost of manuring the inner field = 3364 × 25 = ₹ 84,100
Hence the required area = 861 m2 and the required cost;
= ₹ 84,100.
Question 3.
A rectangular field has 80 m length and 48 m breadth. Three roads, each of width 2 m pass through the field such that two roads are parallel to the breadth and the third road parallel to the length. Find the area covered by the roads.
Answer:
Area of the two roads parallel to the breadth
= 2 × (48 × 2)
= 192 m2
Area of the road parallel to the length
= 80 × 2
= 160 m2
Area of the common portion = 2 × 2 + 2 × 2
= 8m2
Total area of the three roads = 192 m2 + 160 m2 – 8 m2
= 344 m2
Hence the required area = 344 m2
Question 4.
A design on the wall of a room consists of 1000 tiles of the shape of parallelogram. If altitude and base of tiles are 10 cm and 4 cm respectively, find the cost of polishing the design at the rate of ₹ 9.50 per dm2.
Answer:
Area of one tile = base × altitude
= 10 × 4 = 40 cm2
Area of 1000 tiles = 40 × 1000 = 40000 cm2 = ₹ 3800
= \(\frac{40000}{100}\)dm2
= 400 dm2
∴ Cost of polishing the tiles = 400 × 9.50
Hence the required cost = ₹ 3800.
Question 5.
In the given figure, PQ ∥ SR, SP ⊥ PQ, PQ = 60 cm, SR = 36 cm and QR = 25 cm. Find the area of the quadrilateral PQRS.
Answer:
Draw RT ⊥ PQ
∴ TQ = PQ – PT
= PQ – SR
= 60 – 36 = 24 cm
In ΔRTQ, ∠RTQ = 90°
RT2 + TQ2 = QR2 (By Pythagoras Theorem)
RT2 + (24)2 = (25)2
RT2 + 576 = 625
RT2 = 625 – 576
RT2 = 49
RT = 7 cm
Now area of quadrilateral PQ RS = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (sum of parallel sides) × altitude
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (60 + 36) × 7
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 96 × 7
= 48 × 7
= 336 cm2
Hence the required area = 336 cm2.
Question 6.
There is a circular pond and footpath runs along its boundary. A man walks around it, exactly once, keeping close to the edge. If his step is 44 cm long and he takes exactly 600 steps to go around the pond, what is the radius of the pond?
Answer:
Distance travelled by man around the edge of the pond is 600 steps
= 600 × 44 = 26400 cm
Circumference of the pond = 26400 cm
2πr = 26400
2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r = 26400
r = \(\frac{26400 \times 7}{2 \times 22}\)
r = 4200 cm = 42 m
Hence the required radius = 42 m.
Question 7.
From a square metal sheet of side 28 cm, a circular sheet is cut off. Find the radius of the largest possible circular sheet that can be cut. Also find the area of the remaining sheet.
Answer:
Side of the square sheet = 28 cm
∴ Its area = (28)2 = 784 cm2
Radius of the largest circular sheet = \(\frac{28}{2}\) = 14 cm
∴ Area of the circular sheet = πr2 = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 14 × 14 = 616 cm
Area of the remaining sheet = 784 – 616 = 168 cm2
Hence the required radius is 14 cm and area = 168 cm2.
Question 8.
Triangle ABC is right angled at A. AD is drawn perpendicular to BC. If AB = 5 cm and AC = 12 cm, find the area of ΔABC. Also find the length of AD.
Answer:
Here, base AB = 5 cm and altitude AC = 12 cm
Hence, the area of ΔABC is 30 cm2 and the length of AD is 4.615 cm.
∴ Area of ΔABC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × AB × AC
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 5 × 12
= 30 cm2
Now, in ΔABC, we have
(BC)2 = (AB)2 + (AC)2 [BY Pythagoras theorem]
⇒ (BC)2 = (5)2 + (12)2
⇒ (BC)2 = 25 + 144
⇒ (BC)2 = 169
⇒ BC = 13 cm
Also, Area of ΔABC = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × base BC × Altitude AD
⇒ 30 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 13 × AD
⇒ AD = \(\frac{30 \times 2}{13}\)
⇒ AD = \(\frac{60}{13}\)
= 4.615 cm

Question 1.
Find the area of a triangle whose sides are in the ratio 5 :12 :13 and its perimeter is 60 cm.
Answer:
Let the sides of the triangle be 5x, 12x and 13x.
Perimeter of triangle = 60 cm
∴ 5x + 12x + 13x = 60 cm
⇒ 30x = 60
⇒ x = \(\frac{60}{30}\)
⇒ x = 2
So the sides of the triangle are 5(2), 12(2), 13(2), i.e.; 10 cm, 24 cm and 26 cm.
Now, (10)2 + (24)2
= 100 + 576 = 676
= (26)2
So, the triangle is a right angled triangle as the square of one side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. And, hypotenuse of the triangle is of length 26 cm.
∴ Area of triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × Base × Height
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 10 × 24 = 5 × 24
= 120 cm2
Hence, the area of the triangle is 120 cm2.
Question 2.
AD is the diameter of a circle of radius 6 cm and AB = BC = CD. Semi-circles are drawn with AB and BD as diameters as shown in the figure.
Find the perimeter and area of the shaded region.
Answer:
Here, AD = 2 × 6 cm = 12 cm
AB = BC = CD = \(\frac{1}{3}\)AD
⇒ AB = BC = CD = \(\frac{1}{3}\)(12) cm
⇒ AB = BC = CD = 4 cm
BD = BC + CD = 4 cm + 4 cm = 8 cm
Perimeter of shade region = (circumference of semi-circle with diameter AD)+(circumference of semi-circle with diameter AB) + (circumference of semi-circle with diameter BD)
Area of the shaded region = (Area of semi-circle with diameter AB) + (Area of semi-circle with diameter AD) – (Area of semi-circle with diameter BD)
= π(2)2 + π(6)2 – π(4)2
= π(4) + π(36) – π(16)
= π(4 + 36 – 16)
= π(4 + 20)
= 24π
= 24 × \(\frac{22}{7}=\frac{528}{7}\)
= 75.428 cm2
Hence, the perimeter and area of the shaded region are 37.714 cm and 75.428 cm2 respectively.
Question 3.
Four equal circles are described about four corners of a square so that each touches the two of the others. Find the area of the part of the square enclosed by the circles if the side of the square is 14 cm.
Answer:
From the figure, radius of each circle = 3.5 cm
Area of the part of the square enclosed by the circles = Area of the shaded region
∴ Area of the shaded region = Area of square – Area of four circles
= (Side)2 – 4(πr2)
= (14)2 – 4[π(3.5)2]
= 196 – 4(\(\frac{22}{7}\) × 3.5 × 3.5)
= 196 – 4(\(\left(\frac{269.5}{7}\right)\))
= 196 – 4(38.5)
= 196 – 154
= 42 cm2
Hence, the area of the part of the square enclosed by the circles is 42 cm2.

Area of one semi-circular region = \(\frac{1}{2}\)r2
Area of the two semi-circular region = 2 × \(\frac{1}{2}\)πr2
= πr2
= \(\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{7}{2}=\frac{77}{2}\)m

Area of one quarter = \(\frac{1}{4}\)πr2
Area of the four quarter = 4 × \(\frac{1}{4}\)πr2
= πr2
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 35 × 35
= 3850 m2
Area of the square field = 70 × 70
= 4900 m2
Area of the ungrazed portion = 4900 – 3850
= 1050 m2
Hence the required area = 1050 m2.

A circular park of diameter 70 m is surrounded by a walking track of width 1.4 m. Find the area of the track. Also find the cost of constructing the track at ₹ 15 per m2.
Answer:
The diameter of the park = 70 m
∴ Its radius = \(\frac{70}{2}\) = 35 m
Area of the park = πr2
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 35 × 35
= 3850 m2
Width of the track = 1.4 m
∴ Radius of the park including track = 35 + 1.4 = 36.4 m
∴ Its area = πr2
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 36.4 × 36.4
= 4164.16 m2
Area of the track = 4164.16 – 3850 = 314.16 m2

Answer:
Here AC = 8 cm ∴ OA = 4 cm
BD = 6 cm OB = 3 cm
∵ In right ΔAOB,
OA2 + OB2 = AB2 (By Pythagoras Theorem)
(4)2 + (3)2 = AB2
16 + 9 = AB2
25 = AB2
∴ AB = 5 cm
Perimeter of the rhombus = 5 × 4 = 20 cm
Area of the rhombus = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × d1 × d2

Answer:
Area of the road parallel to the length = 36 × 2.5 = 90 m2
Area of the road parallel to the breadth = 24 x× 2.5 = 60 m2
Area of the common region = 2.5 × 2.5 = 6.25 m2
∴ Total area of the roads = 90 + 60 – 6.25
= 150 – 6.25 = 143.75 m2 and cost of construction = 5 × 143.75 = ₹ 718.75
Hence the required area = 143.75 m2 and the cost of construction = ₹ 718.75.

= 2 × (base × altitude)
= 2 × (6 × 3) = 36 cm2
Area of square DFIC = 6 × 6 = 36 cm2
Area of equilateral triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\)πr2
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 6 × 6 = 9√3 cm2
= 9 × 1.732
= 15.58 cm2
Total area = 36 + 36 + 14.14 + 15.58
= 101.72 cm2
Hence the total area = 101.72 cm2.
