Explanation
1.other side will be

412 92 = 40 . So perimeter will be 2( length+ breadth)=2(9+40)=98 cm

2. circumference of circle =2r=220

Solving this we will get r= 220
2 =35
So area will be = r2 = 352 =3850
3. surface area of cylinder=2r(r+h) =2 227 353514 = 10780cm2
4.let side of square be x then x2 + x2 = 4.8
Solving this we will get x= 4.8
2
2

2
2
So area will be x2 = 4.8
2 cm = 11.52cm

5. area of four walls = 2(l+b)h =2(13+9)10=440

So cost will be 440 10= Rs.4400
6. let the bredth = x then length will be 2x then x2 + 4x2 = 45
Then x will be3cm
so breadth is 3cm and length will be 6cm
so area will be 18 sq. cm
7. volume of cylinder = r2h = 227 631010 = 18900
3

Volume of ball= 43r3 = 4221.5

= 297
37
21
Dividing them we will get 16800
8. if half of diagonal is 2.5cm then diagonal =5cm so area will be 1252 = 12.5cm2
9. volume of beam is 945=180 m3
So weight will be 18050=9000 gms=9 kg
10. maximum length will be diagonal which will be

L2 + B2 + H 2 = 25

15)3

11. area of equilateral triangle =

3
2
4 side

= 163

So side =8 so perimeter will be =3side=24

12. volume of cube =3375 cm3 so side will be =15
Then surface area will be=6 side2 =1350 cm2
2r = 18 222 10 = 5 cm
13. length of arc = 360
360
7

14. area of triangle= s(s a)(s b)(s c), wheres = a+b+c

2
So s=60 now area = 60252015 = 670.8(app)
15. surface area of sphere=4 r2 =4 227 1414 = 2464cm2
