In the adjoining figure, two circles with centres O and P are touching internally at point A. If BQ = 9, DE = 5, complete the following activity to find the radii of the circles.

Answer»

Let the radius of the bigger circle be R and that of smaller circle be r. 

OA, OB, OC and OD are the radii of the bigger circle. 

∴ OA = OB = OC = OD = R 

PQ = PA = r 

OQ + BQ = OB … [B – Q – O] 

OQ = OB – BQ = R – 9 

OE + DE = OD ….[D – E – O] 

OE = OD – DE = [R – 5] 

As the chords QA and EF of the circle with centre P intersect in the interior of the circle, so by the property of internal division of two chords of a circle, 

OQ × OA = OE × OF 

∴ (R – 9) × R = (R – 5) × (R – 5) …[∵ OE = OF] 

∴ R2 – 9R = R2 – 10R + 25 

∴ -9R + 10R = 25 

∴ R = [25units] 

AQ = AB – BQ = 2r ….[B-Q-A] 

∴ 2r = 50 – 9 = 41 

∴ r = 41/2 = 20.5 units

Bhavna runs 10 times around a square field of side 80 m. Her sister Sushmita runs 8 times around a rectangular field with length 150 m and breadth 60 m. Who covers more distance? By how much?

Answer»

Distance covered by Bhavana in one round = Perimeter of the square field 

= 4 × side of square field = 4 × 80 m = 320 m 

Distance covered in 10 rounds = (320 × 10)m = 3200 m 

Distance covered by Sushmita in one round 

= Perimeter of the rectangular field 

= 2 × (length + breadth) 

= 2 × (150 + 60)m = 2 × 210 = 420 m 

Distance covered in 8 rounds = 420 × 8 = 3360 m 

Hence, Sushmita has covered 160 m more than the distance coverd by Bhavna.

The length of a rectangular field is thrice its breadth. If the perimeter of this field is 800 m, what is the length of the field?

Answer»

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth) 

Length of the rectangular field = 3 × breadth 

Therefore perimeter of field = 2 (3 × breadth + breadth) 

= 2 ( 4 × breadth) 

= 8 × breadth 

The given perimeter = 800 m 

Therefore 8 × breadth = 800 

Or, breadth = 800 ÷ 8 = 100 m 

So, length = 3 × 100 m = 300 m

A rectangular sheet of paper 30 cm × 18 cm be transformed into the curved surface of a right circular cylinder in two ways i.e., either by rolling the paper along its length or by rolling it along its breadth. Find the ratio of the volumes of the two cylinders thus formed.

Answer»

Given,

Dimensions of rectangular sheet = 30 cm × 0.18 cm

Case (i)

When sheet is rolled along its length:

= 2πr = 30

= r = \(\frac{30}{2π}\)

height of cylinder = 18 cm

Hence, Volume of cylinder thus formed = V1 \(\frac{22}{7}\) x \((\frac{30}{2π})^2\) x 18 cm3

Case (ii)

When sheet is rolled along its breadth:

 = 2πr = 18

= r = \(\frac{18}{2π}\)

Height of cylinder = 30 cm

Volume of cylinder = V2\(\frac{22}{7}\) x \((\frac{18}{2π})^2\) x 30 cm3

Hence,

\(\frac{V_1}{V_2}\) = \(\frac{[\frac{22}{7}\times 900\times 4π^2\times 18]}{[\frac{22}{7}\times 324\times 4π^2\times 30]}\) = \(\frac{30}{18}\) = \(\frac{5}{3}\)

In the given figure, ABCD is a square of side `14cm`.Semicircles are drawn with each side of square as diameter. Find the area of the shaded region.A. `144m^(2)`B. `164m^(2)`C. `184m^(2)`D. `154m^(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The area of the shaded region = Sum of the areas of two semi circles
= Area of the circle with side of the square as diameter
Since the side of the square is 14 m,
`therefore"Radius of the circle"=(14)/(2)=7m`
`therefore" The required area"=pir^(2)`
`=(22)/(7)xx7xx7`
`=22xx7=154m^(2)`
