State whether the statement are True or False.The surface area of a cuboid formed by joining face-to-face 3 cubes of side x is 3 times the surface area of a cube of side x. |
Answer» False Three cubes having side x are joined face-to-face, then the cuboid so formed has the same height and breadth as the cubes but its length will be thrice that of the cubes. Hence, the length, breadth and height of the cuboid so formed are 3x, x and x, respectively. Then, its surface area = 2 (lb + bh + hl) = 2(3x x x + x x x + x x 3 x ) = 2(3x2 + x2 + 3x2) = 2 x 7x2 = 14x2 Now, the surface area of the cube of side x = 6 (Side)2 = 6x2 Hence, the statement is false. |

If the radius of a cylinder is tripled but its curved surface area is unchanged, then its height will be(a) tripled (b) constant (c) one sixth (d) one third |
Answer» The correct answer is option (d) one third Explanation: We know that the curved surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh, when the radius is “r” and height is “h”. Let “H” be the new height. When the radius of a cylinder is tripled, then the CSA of a cylinder becomes, CSA = 2π (3r) H CSA = 6πr. H Now, compare the CSA of the cylinder to find the height 6πrH = 2πrh H = 2πrh / 6πr H = (1/3)h Hence, the new height of the cylinder is one-third of the original height. |
