1.

A cone whose height and radius are 6 cm and 8 cm respectively. Then its slant height is A) 14 cm B) 10 cm C) 11 cm D) 12 cm

Answer»

Correct option is (B) 10 cm

Slant height of cone is \(l=\sqrt{r^2+h^2}\)

\(=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}=\sqrt{36+64}\)

\(=\sqrt{100}\) = 10 cm

Correct option is  B) 10 cm

2.

The total surface area of a right triangular prism of height 4 cm is 72√3 cm2. If the base of the prism is an equilateral triangle, find its volume. (a) 36√3 3 cm3(b) 42√3 cm3(c) 48√3 cm3(d) 54√3 cm3

Answer»

(c) \(48\sqrt3\) cm2.

Let each side of the base of the prism be a cm. 

Total surface area = \(72\sqrt3\) cm3 

⇒ (Perimeter of the base × Height) + 2 (Area of base) = \(72\sqrt3\)

⇒ 3a x 4 + 2 \(\big(\frac{\sqrt3}{4}a^2\big)\) = \(72\sqrt3\)

⇒ \(\sqrt3a^2+24a-144\sqrt3=0\) ⇒ \(a^2+8\sqrt3a-144=0\)

\((a+12\sqrt3)(a-4\sqrt3)=0\)

\(a=-12\sqrt3\) or \(4\sqrt3\)  ⇒ a = \(4\sqrt3\)  as a > 0

∴ Volume of the prism = Area of the base × Height 

= \(\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times(4\sqrt3)^2\times\,4cm^2=48\sqrt3\) cm2.

3.

Volume of a right rectangular prism is A) lbh B) base perimeter × height C) 2(lb + bh + lh)l + b + h D) none

Answer»

Correct option is (A) lbh

Volume = Area of base \(\times\) Height

\(=lb\times h\)   (Base = rectangular side)

\(lbh\)

Correct option is  A) lbh

4.

A right triangular prism of height 18 cm and of base sides 5 cm, 12 cm and 13 cm is transformed into another right triangular prism on a base of sides 9 cm, 12 cm and 15 cm. Find the height of the new prism and the change in the whole surface area. (a) 10 cm, 120 cm2 (b) 8 cm, 132 cm2(c) 10 cm, 132 cm2(d) 8 cm, 120 cm2

Answer»

(c) 10 cm, 132 cm2

For the first prism, a = 5 cm, b = 12 cm, c = 13 cm 

⇒ s = \(\frac{a+b+c}{2}=\frac{5+12+13}{2}\) = 15 cm

Area of the base = \(\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\)

= \(\sqrt{15\times10\times3\times2}\) cm2 = 30 cm2

Let V1 be the volume of the prism. Then, 

V1 = Area of the base x height 

⇒ V1 = (30 × 18) cm3 = 540 cm3 

Let S1 be the total surface area of the prism. Then 

S1 = Lateral surface area + 2 (Area of base) 

= (Perimeter of the base × height) + 2 (Area of base) 

= (30 × 18 + 2 × 30) cm2 = 600 cm2

Let h be the height of new prism. Then, for the new prism 

a = 9 cm, b = 12 cm, c = 15 cm ⇒ s = \(\frac{9+12+15}{2}=18\) cm

Area of the base = \(\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\)

= \(\sqrt{18\times9\times6\times3}\) cm2 = 54 cm2

∴ V2 = Volume of new prism = (54 × h) cm3 

V1 = V2 ⇒ 54 × h = 540 ⇒ h = 10 cm. 

Let S2 be the total surface area of the new prism. Then, 

S2 = (36 × 10 + 2 × 54) cm2 = 468 cm2 

Change in the whole surface area = S1 – S2 

= (600 – 468) cm2 = 132 cm2.

5.

Total surface area of a cylinder is A) 2πr (r + h) B) πrl C) πr (l + r) D) 2πrh

Answer»

Correct option is (A) 2πr (r + h)

Total surface area of a cylinder

= Curved surface area of cylinder + Area of base + Area of top

\(=2\pi rh+\pi r^2+\pi r^2=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2\)

\(2\pi r\,(r+h)\)

A) 2πr (r + h)

6.

Lateral surface area of a cube whose edge is 3.5 cm is A) 12.25 cm2B) 42.875 cm2 C) 73.5 cm2 D) 49 cm2

Answer»

Correct option is (B) \(42.875\,cm^3\)

Lateral surface area of cube \(=a^3\)

\(=(3.5)^3cm^3=42.875\,cm^3\)

Correct option is  B) 42.875 cm3

7.

How does the total surface area of a box change if each dimension is tripled ?

Answer»

Let the original and changed dimensions are l, b, 

h and 31, 3b, 3h 

Original T.S.A. = 2 (lb + bh + lh) 

Changed T.S.A 

= 2 (3l . 3b + 3b . 3h + 3l. 3h)

Changed T S.A. = 2 (9lb + 9bh + 9lh) 

= 9 × [2 (lb + bh + lh)] 

= 9 [original T.S.A.] 

Thus original T.S.A. increased by 9 times if each dimension is tripled.

Find the volume, lateral surface area and the total surface area of a cube each of whose edges measures: (i) 7 m (ii) 5.6 cm (iii) 8 dm 5 cm

Answer»

(i) We have, 

Length of the edge of the cube = a = 7 cm 

We know that, 

Volume of cube = a3 = 73 = 343 m3 

Also, 

Lateral surface area of the cube 

= 4a2 = 4 × 7 × 7 

= 196 m2 

Total surface area of the cube 

= 6a2 = 6 × 7 × 7 

= 294 m2 

(ii) We have, 

Length of the edge of the cube = a = 5.6 cm 

We know that, 

Volume of cube = a3 = (5.6)3 = 175.616 cm3 

Also, 

Lateral surface area of the cube = 4a2 

= 4 × 5.6 × 5.6 

= 125.44 cm2 

Total surface area of the cube = 6a2 

= 6 × 5.6 × 5.6 

= 188.16 cm2 

(iii) We have, 

Length of the edge of the cube = a = 8 dm 5 cm = 85 cm 

We know that, 

Volume of cube = a3 = 853 = 614125 cm3 

Also, 

Lateral surface area of the cube = 4a2

What will happen to the volume of a cube if the length of its edge is reduced to half? Is the volume get reduced? If yes, how much?

Answer»

Volume of a cube of side (s) is V1 = a3 

If the length of the side is reduced by half then s = a/2

∴ Volume of cube (V2 ) = s

= (a/2)3

= a/2 x a/2 x a/2

= a3/8 = 1/8(a3)

∴ V2 = 1/8 × V1 

∴ V1 = 8V2
