Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4 m more than its width, is 36 m. Find the dimensions of the garden by graphical method.

Answer»

Solution :LET the length of the GARDEN be x METRE and its width be y metre.
Then, perimeter of RECTANGULAR garden = 2 (length + width) - 2 (x + y)
Therefore, half perimeter = x + y
But it is given that half perimeter = 36 m
`thereforex + y = 36...(1)`
Also, x = y + 4, i.e., x - y = 4...(2)
For finding the solution of EQUATION (1) and (2) graphically, we form the following table :

Draw the graphs by joining points (20, 16), (16, 20) and (24, 12), and points (10, 6),(16, 12)and(20, 16). The two lines intersect at point (20, 16) as shown in the graph. Hence, length = 20 m and width = 16m

Amitabh own a garden.In the garden, the number of mango trees is equal to number of mangoes per tree and the cost price per mango is the same as the number of mango trees in the garden. The maintenance cost is ₹ 860 per tree. If Amitabh sells one mango at ₹ 61, the overall loss in the business is ₹ 800. Find the number of mangoes in the garden, if no mangoes were wasted and the number of trees were more than 30.

Answer»


Solution :LET the number of mango trees int the garden=x
`:.` Number of mangoes per tree=x
`:.` Number of mangoes in the garden=`x^(2)` and cost price per mango=₹ x.
`:.` Total cost price of mangoes`= ₹ x^(3)`
Total maintenance cost= ₹ 860x
Total selling price`=₹ 61x^(2)`
and loss in the BUSINESS = ₹ 800
From the above information, we get
`x^(3)-61x^(2)+860x-800=0`.
On putting x=1, we have L.H.S.=0
`:. (x-1)` is a factor of `x^(3)-61x^(2)+860x-800` other factors can be obtained by long division method as follows:

`:. "" x^(3)-61x^(2)+860x-800=0`
`implies ""(x-1)(x^(2)-60x+800)=0`
`implies ""(x-1)(x-20)(x-40)=0`
`:. x=1 ""orx=20 "" or ""x=40`
But `""x lt 30 ""`(given)
`:. "" x=40`
`:.` Total number of mangoes are `(40)^(2)`i.e., 1600. `""` Ans.

Find the value of log 36, log 3600 and log 0.0036.

Answer»

Solution :In the log table, we locate 37 in the first column. In this row, in the column under 4, we find 5729.As in the earlier example, the same line as before gives the mantisa of LOGARITHMS of all numbers which begin with 37. From this line, we select the MANTISSA which is located in the column number 4. This gives 5729 as the mantissa for all numbers whose significant digits are 3, 7 and 4.
`therefore` log 3.74 = 0.5729
log 374000 = 5.5729 and
log 0.3740 = `bar(1)`.5729.

Draw two concentric circles of radii 3 cm and 5 cm . Taking a point on outer circle construct the pair of tangents to the other. Measure the length of a tangent and verify it by actual calculation .

Answer»

Solution :Given, tow concentric CIRCLES of radii 3cm and 5 cm with centre O. We have to draw PARI of tangents from point P on outer circle to the other.

Steps of construction
1 Draw two concentric circles with centre O and radii 3 cm and 5cmm.
2. Taking any point P on outer circle. Join OP.
3. Bisect OP, let M' be the MID point of OP.
Taking M' as centre and OM' as radius draw a circle dotted which cuts the innner circle at M and P'.
4. Join PM and PP'. Thus, PM and PP' are the required tangents.
5. On measuring PM and PP', we find that PM=PP'=4 cm .
Actual calculation
In right angle `DeltaOMP`, `anglePMO=90^(@)`
`:. PM^(2)=OP^(2)-OM^(2)`
[ By PYTHAGORAS theroem i.e, `"(hypotaneous)"^(2)="(base)"^(2)+"(perpendicular)"^(2)`]
`implies PM^(2)=(5)^(2)-(3)^(2)=25-9=16`
`implies PM=4 ` cm
Hence, the length of both tangents is 4 cm.

Draw a circle of radius 4.2 cm and centre O. Mark apoint P at a distance of 7 cm from the centre. Draw tangents to the circle from Points P. (March '19)

Answer»

SOLUTION :Analysis :
A circle of radius 4.2 cm can be drawn and point P at a DISTANCE of 7 cm can be located.n Consider the following analytical figure.
Suppose tangents through P touch the circle at point A and B then
`angleOAP=angleOBP=90^@""("Tangent theorem")`
we know, ' Angle INSCRIBED in a semi-circle is a right angle. '
`therefore` A and B lie on the semicircular arcs whose disameter is OP
A and B therefore would be the points of intersection of semicircular arcs with the circle.
`therefore` On drawing the perpendicular bisector of seg OP we can obtained the centre and the radius of the semicircular arcs.
Ponits of intersection of semicircular arcs and the circle are points A and B
`therefore` Tangents PA and PB can be drawn
Steps of construction
(1) Draw a circle of radius 4.2 cm.
(2) Take a point P in the exterior of the circle such that d(O,P)= 7 cm
(3) Draw seg OP. Draw perpendicular bisector of seg OP to get its midpoint M
(4) Draw and arc with radius OM and centre M
(6) Draw line PA and PB
