The length of a rectangular field is 8 m and breadth is 2 m. If a square field has the same perimeter as this rectangular field, find which field has the greater area. |
Answer» We have given, perimeter of the rectangular field = perimeter of the square field ⇒ 2(length + breadth) = 4 × side ⇒ 2(8 + 2) m = 4 × side ⇒ 2(10) m = 4 × side ⇒ 20 m = 4 × side ⇒ 20/4 m = side ⇒ side = 5 m Now, area of the rectangular field = length × breadth = 8m × 2m = 16m2 Area of the square field= side × side = 5m × 5m = 25m2 ∴ The square field has greater area than that of rectangular field. |

If each edge of a cube is doubled,(i) how many times will its surface area increase?(ii) how many times will its volume increase? |
Answer» (i) Let initially the edge of the cube be l. Initial surface area = 6l2 If each edge of the cube is doubled, then it becomes 2l. New surface area = 6(2l)2 = 24l2 = 4 × 6l2 Clearly, the surface area will be increased by 4 times. (ii) Initial volume of the cube = l3 When each edge of the cube is doubled, it becomes 2l. New volume = (2l)3 = 8l3 = 8 × l3 Clearly, the volume of the cube will be increased by 8 times. |
