(a) Match the following figures with their respective areas in the box.
Solution:
Area of square
= l × l = 7 × 7
(b) Write the perimeter of each shape.
Solution:
Perimeter of given shapes:
1. Perimeter of this figure can’t be found as breadth is not given [7 cm is the height, not breadth].
2. Perimeter of semicircle = πr + 2r
= \(\frac {22}{7}\) × 7 + 2 × 7
= 22 + 14
= 36 cm
3. Perimeter of triangle = sum of lengths of three sides
= 14 + 11 + 19 = 34cm
4. Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
= 2 (14 + 7)
= 2 × 21
= 42cm
5. Perimeter of square = 4l
= 4 × 7 = 28cm

1. Nazma’s sister also has a trapezium-shaped plot. Divide it into three parts as shown in figure. Show that the area of trapezium WXYZ = \(\frac {a + b}{2}\).
Solution:
Area of ∆ PWZ = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × base × height
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × c × h
= \(\frac {1}{2}\)ch
Area of rectangle PQYZ = length × breadth
= b × h = bh
Area of ∆ QXY = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × base × height
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × d × h
= \(\frac {1}{2}\)dh
Now, Area of trapezium WXYZ
Area of ∆ PWZ + Area of rectangle PQYZ + Area of ∆ QXY
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) ch + bh + \(\frac {1}{2}\)dh
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) ch + \(\frac {1}{2}\)dh + bh
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) (c + d)h + bh
= \(\frac {1}{2}\)(a – b)h + bh (∵ c + d = a – b)
= [\(\frac {1}{2}\)(a – b) + b]h
= [\(\frac {a – b}{2}\) + b] h
= \(\frac {a-b+2b}{2}\) h
= \(\frac {h (a + b)}{2}\)
Thus, area of trapezium WXYZ = \(\frac{h(a+b)}{2}\)
2. If h = 10 cm, c = 6 cm, b = 12 cm, d = 4 cm, find the values of each of its parts separetely and add to find the area WXYZ. Verify it by putting the values of h, a and b in the expression \(\frac{h(a+b)}{2}\).
Solution:
h = 10 cm, c = 6 cm, b = 12 cm, d = 4 cm.
Area of ∆ PWZ = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × c × h
= (\(\frac {1}{2}\) × 6 × 10)cm2
= 30 cm2
Area of ∆ QXY = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × d × h
= (\(\frac {1}{2}\) × 4 × 10)cm2
= 20 cm2
Area of rectangle PQYZ
= length × breadth
= 12 × 10
= 120 cm2
∴ Area of trapezium WXYZ = Area of ∆ PWZ + Area of ∆ QXY + Area of rectangle PQYZ
= (30 + 20 + 120) cm2
= 170 cm2
Now, Area of trapezium WXYZ
= \(\frac{h(a+b)}{2}\)
= \(\frac{10(22+12)}{2}\)
= \(\frac{10(34)}{2}\)
= 170cm2
∵ a = c + b + d
= 6 + 12 + 4
= 22 cm
Thus, area of trapezium verified.

1. We know that parallelogram is also a quadrilateral.
Let us also split such a quadrilateral into two triangles, find their areas and hence that of the parallelogram. Does this agree with the formula that you know already?
Solution:
Let XYZW be a given quadrilateral, which is a parallelogram.
Join the diagonal WY of the parallelogram XYZW. It divides the parallelogram into two triangles ∆WXY and ∆YZW.
Then, area of parallelogram WXYZ
= Area of ∆ WXY + Area of ∆ YZW
= (\(\frac {1}{2}\) × xy × h) + (\(\frac {1}{2}\) × wz × h)
= (\(\frac {1}{2}\) × b × h) + (\(\frac {1}{2}\) × b × h)
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) bh + \(\frac {1}{2}\) bh
= bh sq units
Area of parallelogram = base × height
= b × h
= bh sq units
As we have studied that, a parallelogram is a special case of a trapezium, where parallel sides are equal.
∴ Area of trapezium XYZW
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (b + b) × h
= (\(\frac {1}{2}\) × 2b × h) sq. units
= bh sq units
Thus, the above relation prooves the formula which already we know.

1. Find the area of these quadrilaterals:
Solution:
(i) h1 = 3 cm, h2 = 5 cm
d = length of diagonal AC = 6 cm
∴ Area of quadrilateral ABCD
= \(\frac {1}{2}\)d(h1 + h2)
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 6 × (3 + 5)
= 3 × 8 cm2
= 24 cm2
(ii) d1 = 7 cm, d2 = 6 cm
∴ Area of rhombus ABCD
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × d1 × d2
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 7 × 6
= 7 × 3 cm2
= 21 cm2
(iii) [Note : Here, given figure is a parallelogram. It’s diagonals divides it into two congruent triangles. From this figure, we can see that base of the triangle is 8 cm and height is 2 cm.]
∴ Area of parallelogram
= 2 (area of ∆ ADC)
= 2 × (\(\frac {1}{2}\) × b × h)
= 2 × (\(\frac {1}{2}\) × 8 × 2) cm2
= 2 × 8
= 16 cm2

Area of polygon MNOPQR = Area of ∆ NEO + Area of trapezium EGPO + Area of ∆ GQP + Area of ∆ HQR + Area of trapezium MRHF + Area of ∆ NFM
= [\(\frac {22}{7}\) × NE × OE] + [\(\frac {22}{7}\) × (OE + PG) × EG] + [\(\frac {22}{7}\) × GQ × PG] + [\(\frac {22}{7}\) × HQ × HR] + [\(\frac {22}{7}\) × (FM + HR) × FH] + [\(\frac {22}{7}\) × NF × FM]

Here, AD = 8 cm,
AH = 6 cm,
HD = 2 cm,
AG = 4 cm,
GD = 4 cm,
AF = 3 cm and
GF = 1 cm
Area of polygon ABCDE = Area of ∆ AFB + Area of trapezium FBCH + Area of ∆ CHD + Area of ∆ ADE
Now,
Area of ∆ AFB = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × AF × BF
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 3 × 2 = 3 cm2 … (i)
Area of trapezium FBCH
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (BF × CH) × FH
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (2 + 3) × 3 [∵ FH = AH – AF]
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 5 × 3 = \(\frac {15}{2}\)
= 7.5 cm2 … (ii)

MP = 9 cm,
MD = 7 cm
∴ DP = MP – MD
= (9 – 7) cm
= 2 cm
MC = 6 cm ∴ CP = 3 cm
MB = 4 cm ∴ BP = 5 cm
MA = 2 cm ∴ AC = MC – MA
= (6 – 2) cm = 4 cm
MB + BD = MD
∴ BD = (7 – 4) cm
= 3 cm
Area of ∆ MAN = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × MA × AN
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 2 × 2.5
= 2.5 cm2 ……. (i)

1. Find the total surface area of the following cuboids:
Solution:
(i) Here, length (i) = 6 cm,
breadth (b) = 4 cm and
height (h) = 2 cm.
Total surface area of a cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2(6 × 4 + 4 × 2 + 2 × 6)
= 2(24 + 8 + 12)
= 2 (44)
= 88 cm2
(ii) Here, length (l) = 4 cm,
breadth (b) = 4 cm and
height (h) = 10 cm.
Total surface area of a cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 (4 × 4 + 4 × 10 + 10 × 4)
= 2 (16 + 40 + 40)
= 2(96) = 192 cm2

1. Can we say that the total surface area of cuboid = lateral surface area + 2 × area of base?
Solution:
Yes, the total surface area of cuboid = lateral surface area + 2 × area of base [Note: Area of base and area of top of a cuboid, both are same.]
2. If we interchange the lengths of the base and the height of a cuboid to get another cuboid, will its lateral surface area change?
Solution:
(a) Lateral surface area of cuboid (i)
= 2(l + b) × h
(b) Lateral surface area of cuboid (ii)
= 2 (h + b) × l
Thus, it is clear that by interchanging the lengths of the base and the height of a cuboid, its lateral surface area will change.

Question (i)
Two cubes each with side b are joined to form a cuboid. What is the surface area of this cuboid? Is it 12b2? Is the surface area of cuboid formed by joining three such cubes, 18b2? Why?
Solution:
(a) By joining two cubes end-to-end with side b, a cuboid shape formed.
For cuboid:
length = b + b = 2b, breadth = b and height = b
Total surface area of this cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(2b × b) + (b × b) + (2b × b)]
= 2 (2b2 + b2 + 2b2)
= 2 (5b2)
= 10b2
So surface area of the cuboid formed by joining two cubes is not equal to 12b2), it is 10b2).
(b) By joining three cubes end-to-end with side b, a cuboid shape forms.
For cuboid:
length = b + b + b = 3b, breadth = b and height = b
Total surface area of this cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(3b × b) + (b × b) + (3b × b)]
= 2 (3b2 + b2 + 3b2)
= 2(7b2) = 14b2
So the surface area of cuboid formed by joining three such cubes is not equal to 18b2, it is 14b2.
(ii) How will you arrange 12 cubes of equal length to form a cuboid of smallest surface area?
Solution:
Let us arrange 12 cubes of equal length say b to form a cuboid in different situations.
(a)
Here, length = 12b, breadth = b and height = b
Total surface area of a cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(12b × b) + (b × b) + (12b × b)]
= 2 (12b2 + b2 + 12b2)
= 2 (25b2) – 50b2
(b)
Here, length = 3b, breadth = 2b and height = 2b
Total surface area of a cuboid
= 2 (lb+ bh+ lh)
= 2 [(3b × 2b) + (2b × 2b) + (2b × 3b)]
= 2 (6b2 + 4b2 + 6b2)
= 2 (16b2) = 32b2
(c)
Here, length = 6b, breadth = 2b and height = b
Total surface area of a cuboid
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(6b × 2b) + (2b × b) + (b × 6b)]
= 2 (12b2 + 2b2 + 6b2)
= 2 (20b2)
= 40b2
Hence, from above results we can conclude that, if we arrange 12 cubes of equal length according to situation (b), we get smallest surface area.
(iii) After the surface area of a cube is painted, the cube is cut into 64 smaller cubes of same dimensions. How many have no face painted? 1 face painted? 2 faces painted? 3 faces painted?

1. Note that lateral surface area of a cylinder is the circumference of base × height of cylinder. Can we write lateral surface area of a cuboid as perimeter of base × height of cuboid?
Solution:
Let l be the height, b be the breadth and h be the height of cuboid.
∴ Lateral surface area of a cuboid = Area of 4 walls of the cuboid
= (l × h) + (l × h) + (b × h) + (b × h)
= 2 lh + 2 bh
= 2(1 + b) × h
= Perimeter of base × height
Yes, we can write lateral surface area of a cuboid as perimeter of base × height of cuboid.

1. A company sells biscuits. For packing purpose they are using cuboidal boxes:
box A → 3 cm × 8 cm × 20 cm,
box B → 4 cm × 12 cm × 10 cm. What size of the box will be economical for the company? Why? Can you suggest any other size (dimensions) which has the same volume but is more economical than these?
Solution:
For box A:
Given dimension = 3 cm × 8 cm × 20 cm
length = 20 cm, breadth = 8 cm and height = 3 cm
∴ Volume of the box A = l × b × h
= 20 × 8 × 3
= 480 cm3
Total surface area of the box A
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(20 × 8) + (8 × 3) + (20 × 3)]
= 2 (160 + 24 + 60 )
= 2 (244)
= 488 cm3
For box B:
Given dimension = 4 cm × 12 cm × 10 cm
length = 12 cm, breadth = 10 cm and height = 4 cm
∴ Volume of the box B = l × b × h
= 12 × 10 × 4
= 480 cm3
Total surface area of the box B
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(12 × 10) + (10 × 4) + (12 × 4)]
= 2(120 + 40 + 48 )
= 2(208)
= 416 cm3
From above results, we can conclude that both boxes have same volume, but surface area of box B is less than that of box A.
∴ Box B is more economical than box A.
Now, let another box of size be 8 cm × 6 cm × 10 cm.
∴ length = 8 cm, breadth = 6 cm and height =10 cm
Volume = l × b × h
= 8 × 6 × 10 = 480 cm3
It’s surface area = 2 (lb + bh + Ih)
= 2 [(8 × 6) + (6 × 10) + (8 × 10)]
= 2 (48 + 60 + 80)
= 2 (188) = 376 cm2
Surface area of this box is less than that of box B.
∴ This box is more economical for company.
