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 = \(\frac {a + b}{2}\).
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 4
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 = \(\frac{h(a+b)}{2}\)

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions

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.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 6
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.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 7
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:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 9
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 ∆ CHD = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × HD × CH= …………;
Area of ∆ ADE = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × AD × GE = ………….
So the area of polygon ABCDE = …………
Solution:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 14
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)
Area of ∆ CHD = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × HD × CH
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (AD – AH) × CH

= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 2 × 3
= 3 cm2 … (iii)
Area of ∆ ADE = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × AD × GE
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 8 × 2.5
= 4 × 2.5
= 10 cm2 ………. (iv )
∴ Area of polygon ABCDE = Area of [(i) + (ii) + (iii) + (iv)]
= (3 + 7.5 + 3 + 10) cm2
= 23.5 cm2

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 15
Solution:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 16
Here,
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)
Area of trapezium ACON
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (AN + OC) × AC

= 5 cm2 … (iv )
Area of trapezium BRQD
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (BR + DQ) × BD
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × (2.5 + 2) × 3

= 6.75 cm2 ………. (v)
Area of ∆ DQP = \(\frac {1}{2}\) × DP × DQ
= \(\frac {1}{2}\) × 2 × 2

1. Find the total surface area of the following cuboids:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 18
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

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?
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 21
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).

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions

(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)
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 22
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)
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 23
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)
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 24
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:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration InText Questions 26
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

[Note: In a right triangle, the longest side is called the hypotenuse. The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the remaining two sides.]
Let us use this theorem here.
(a) Here, ∠B = 90°, AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm
In ΔABC, AC is hypotenuse.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 29
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
= (6)2 + (8)2
= 36 + 64
=100
∴ AC = \(\sqrt{100}\)
= 10cm
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Squares and Square Roots Ex 6.4 30

8. A gardener has 1000 plants. He wants to plant these in such a way that the number of rows and the number of columns remain same. Find the minimum number of plants he needs more for this.
Solution:
Total number of plants = 1000
The number of plants in a row = The number of plants in a column
Let the number of plants planted in a row be x.
So, the number of plants planted in a column is x.
∴ Total plants = x × x = x2
∴ x2 > 1000
∴ x > \(\sqrt{1000}\)
Here, the remainder is 39.
(31)2 < 1000
The next square number would be 32.
322 = 1024
∴ The number of plants required to be added = 1024 – 1000
= 24
Thus, 24 more plants needed.

9. There are 500 children in a school. For a P.T. drill they have to stand in such a manner that the number of rows is equal to number of columns. How many children would be left out in this arrangement?
Solution:
Total number of children in a school = 500
The number of rows = The number of columns
Let the number of children in a row be x.
So, the number of children in a column is x.
Total number of children = x × x = x2.
∴ x2 < 500
∴ x < \(\sqrt{500}\)
Here, the remainder is 16.
500 > 222
∴ 500 > 484
500 – 484 = 16
Thus, 16 children would be left out in this arrangement.

105 – 9 = 96, 96 – 11 = 85
85 – 13 = 72, 72 – 15 = 57
57 – 17 = 40, 40 – 19 = 21
21 – 21 = 0
∴ \(\sqrt{121}\) = 11
∴ 121 is a perfect square.

∵ 36 – 1 = 35, 35 – 3 = 32
32 – 5 = 27, 27 – 7 = 20
20 – 9 = 11, 11 – 11 = 0
∴ \(\sqrt{36}\) = 6
∴ 36 is a perfect square.

Question (iv).
49
Solution:
49 – 1 = 48, 48 – 3 = 45
45 – 5 = 40, 40 – 7 = 33
33 – 9 = 24, 24 – 11 = 13
13- 13 = 0
∴ \(\sqrt{49}\) = 7
∴ 49 is a perfect square.

2. Diameter of cylinder A is 7 cm and the height is 14 cm.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.4 1
Diameter of cylinder B is 14 cm and height is 7 cm. Without doing any calculations can you suggest whose volume is greater? Verify it by finding the volume of both the cylinders. Check whether the cylinder with greater volume also has greater surface area?
Solution:
Radius of cylinder B is double them that of cylinder A.
∴ Volume of cylinder B should be more than that of cylinder A.

For cylinder A:
radius (r) = \(\frac{diameter}{2}\) = \(\frac{7}{2}\)
height (h) = 14 cm
Volume of cylinder A = πr²h
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × (\(\frac{22}{7}\))2 × 14
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\) × 14
= 11 × 7 × 7
= 593 cm3

For cylinder B:

radius (r) = \(\frac{diameter}{2}\) = \(\frac{14}{2}\) = 7cm and
height (h) = 7 cm
Volume of cylinder B = πr²h
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 72 × 7
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 7 × 7 × 7
= 22 × 7 × 7
= 1078 cm3

Total surface area:
For cylinder A:

radius (r) = \(\frac{7}{2}\) cm
height (h) = 14 cm
Total surface area of cylinder A
= 2πr (r + h)
= 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\)(\(\frac{7}{2}\) +14)
= 22(\(\frac{35}{2}\))
= 11 × 35
= 385 cm2

For cylinder B :
radius (r) = 7 cm, height (h) = 7 cm
Total surface area of cylinder B
= 2πr (r + h)
= 2 × \(\frac {22}{7}\) × 7(7 + 7)
= 44(14) = 616 cm2
So the surface area of cylinder B is greater than that of cylinder A. Hence, the cylinder with greater volume also has greater surface area.

3. Find the height of a cuboid whose base area is 180 cm2 and volume is 900 cm3?
Solution:
Let the height of cuboid be h cm.
Now, = Area of base × Height
∴ 900 = 180 × h
∴ h = \(\frac {900}{180}\) = 5cm
Hence, height of cuboid is 5 cm.

4. A cuboid is of dimensions 60 cm × 54 cm × 30 cm. How many small cubes with side 6 cm can be placed in the given cuboid?
Solution:
Volume of a cuboid = 60 × 54 × 30 cm3
Volume of a cube = 63 = 6 × 6 × 6 cm3
∴ Number of small cubes
= \(\frac{\text { Volume of cuboid }}{\text { Volume of one cube}}\)
= \(\frac{60 \times 54 \times 30}{6 \times 6 \times 6}\)
= 10 × 9 × 5 = 450
Hence, 450 cubes can be placed in the given cuboid.

5. Find the height of the cylinder whose volume is 1.54 m3 and diameter of the base is 140 cm?
Solution:
For given cylinder:
Volume = 1.54 m3
Radius(r) = \(\frac {diameter}{2}\) = \(\frac {140}{2}\) = 70cm = 0.7 m
Volume of cylinder = πr²h
∴ 1.54 = \(\frac {22}{7}\) × 0.7 × 0.7 × h
∴ h = \(\frac{1.54 \times 7}{22 \times 0.7 \times 0.7}\) = 1m
Hence, height of the cylinder is 1 m.

6. A milk tank is in the form of cylinder whose radius is 1.5 m and length is 7 m. Find the quantity of milk in litres that can be stored in the tank?
Solution:
For given cylindrical milk tank:
Radius (r) = 1.5 m = \(\frac {15}{10}\) m
Height (h) = 7m
Volume of cylindrical milk tank
= πr²h
= \(\frac {22}{7}\) × (\(\frac {15}{10}\))2 × 7
= \(\frac {22}{7}\) × \(\frac {15}{10}\) × \(\frac {15}{10}\) × 7
= \(\frac{11 \times 3 \times 3}{2}=\frac{99}{2}\) = 49.5m3
= 49.5 m3
1 m3 = 1000 litres
∴ 49.5 m3 = 49.5 × 1000 = 49500 litres
Hence, 49,500 litres of milk can be stored in the tank.

7. If each edge of a cube is doubled:

Question (i)
How many times will its surface area increase?
Solution:
Let the edge of the original cube be x.
Then, its new edge (by doubling) = 2x
Original surface area of the cube
= 6 (side)2
= 6 (x)2
= 6x2
New surface area of the cube
= 6 (side)2
= 6 (2x)2
= 6 (2x × 2x)
= 6 (4x2) = 24X2
= \(\frac{\text { New surface area of the cube }}{\text { Original surface area of the cube }}\) = \(\frac{24 x^{2}}{6 x^{2}}\) = 4
Hence, surface area of a cube will increase 4 times.

Question (ii)
How many times will its volume increase ?
Solution:
Original volume of the cube
= (side)3
= (x)3
= x3
New volume of the cube = (side)3
= (2x)3
= (2x × 2x × 2x)
= 8x3
Now,
\(\frac{\text { New volume of the cube }}{\text { Original volume of the cube }}\) = \(\frac{8 x^{3}}{x^{3}}\) = 8
Hence, volume of the cube will increase 8 times.

8. Water is pouring into a cuboidal reservoir at the rate of 60 litres per minute. If the volume of reservoir is 108 m3, find the number of hours it will take to fill the reservoir.
Solution:
Volume of the cuboidal reservoir =108 m3 1 m3 = 1000 litres
∴ 108 m3 = 108 × 1000 litres
= 1,08,000 litres
Water poured in a minute = 60 litres
∴ Water poured in an hour
(∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes) = 60 × 60
= 3600 litres
Time taken to fill reservoir = \(\frac{\text { volume of reservoir }}{\text { water poured in an hour }}\) = \(\frac {108000}{3600}\)

1. Find the square of the following numbers:

Question (i).
32
Solution:
Let us use: (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(32)2 = (30 + 2)2
= (30)2 + 2 (30) (2) + (2)2
= 900 + 120 + 4
= 1024

Question (ii).
35
Solution:
(35)2 = (30 + 5)2
= (30)2 + 2 (30) (5) + (5)2
= 900 + 300 + 25
= 1200 + 25
= 1225
Second method :
[Note : The unit digit of 35 is 5.]
(35)2 = 3 × (3 + 1) × 100 + 25
= 3 × 4 × 100 + 25
= 1200 + 25
= 1225

Question (iii).

1. There are two cuboidal boxes as shown in the figures. Which box requires the lesser amount of material to make?
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.3 1
Solution:
For 1st cuboidal box:
length (l) = 60 cm, breadth (b) = 40 cm and height (h) = 50 cm
Total surface area of a cuboid
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(60 × 40) + (40 × 50) + (50 × 60)]
= 2 (2400 + 2000 + 3000)
= 2(7400)
= 14,800 cm2

For 2nd cuboidal box:
l = b = h = 50 cm
Total surface area of a cuboid
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(50 × 50) + (50 × 50) + (50 × 50)]
= 2(2500 + 2500 + 2500)
= 2 × 7500
= 15,000 cm2
As, total surface area of cuboid (a) is less, so the box (a) requires the less amount of material to make.

2. A suitcase with measures 80 cm × 48 cm × 24 cm is to be covered with a tarpaulin cloth. How many metres of tarpaulin of width 96 cm is required to cover 100 such suitcases?
Solution:
Let us find total surface area of a suitcase (cuboidal in shape).
length (l) = 80 cm, breadth (b) = 48 cm and height (h) = 24 cm
∴ Total surface area of a suitcase = 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(80 × 48) + (48 × 24) + (24 × 80)]
= 2(3840 + 1152 + 1920)
= 2 (6912)
= 13,824 cm2
Total surface area of such 100 suitcases = 13,824 × 100
= 13,82,400 cm2
Area of 1 metre trapezium
= length × breadth
= 100 × 96 = 9600 cm2
Tarpaulin required to cover 100 suitcases = \(\frac{1382400}{9600}\) = 144 metres
Hence, 144 m tarpaulin is required to cover 100 suitcases.

3. Find the side of a cube whose surface area is 600 cm2.
Solution:
Let the side of the cube be x cm
Total surface area of a cube = 6x2
Total surface area of the cube = 600 cm2 (Given)
∴ 6x2 = 600
∴ x2 = \(\frac {600}{6}\)
∴ x2 = 100
∴ x2 = 102
∴ x = 10
Hence, the side of the cube is 10 cm.

4. Rukhsar painted the outside of the cabinet of measure 1 m × 2 m × 1.5 m. How much surface area did she cover if she painted all except the bottom of the cabinet.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.3 2
Solution:
For given cabinet:
length (l) = 2 m, breadth (b) = 1 m and height (h) = 1.5 m
Total surface area of the cabinet
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 [(2 × 1) + (1 × 1.5) + (2 × 1.5)]
= 2 (2 + 1.5 + 3)
= 2(6.5) = 13 m2
She has not painted bottom. So subtract area of bottom from total surface area of the cabinet.
Area of bottom = l × b = 2 × 1 = 2m2
∴ Painted surface area = (13 – 2) m2 = 11 m2
Hence, she has painted 11 m2 area of a cabinet.

5. Daniel is painting the walls and ceiling of a cuboidal hall with length, breadth and height of 15 m, 10 m and 7 m respectively. From each can of paint 100 m2 of area is painted. How many cans of paint will she need to paint the room?
Solution:
For given wall:
length (l) = 15 m, breadth (b) = 10 m and height (h) = 7 m
∴ Area to be painted
= Area of 4 walls + Area of ceiling
= [2 (l + b) × h] + l × b
= [2(15 + 10) × 7] + 15 × 10
= [2(25) × 7] + 150
= 350 + 150 = 500 m2
Now, one can of paint covers 100 m2 area.
∴ Number of paint cans needed
= \(\frac{\text { Area to be painted }}{\text { Area painted by one can }}=\frac{500 \mathrm{~m}^{2}}{100 \mathrm{~m}^{2}}\)
Hence, 5 cans of paint will be needed.

6. Describe how the two figures given are alike and how they are different. Which box has larger lateral surface area?
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.3 3
Solution:
Here, figure (i) is cylinder and figure (ii) is cube.
Similarity: Both have the same height.
Difference: One is the cylinder and the other is a cube.
For cylinder:
Radius = \(\frac{\text { diameter }}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\) = cm
Height = 7 cm
∴ Lateral (curved) surface area of cylinder
= 2πrh
= 2 × \(\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2}\) × 7
= 22 × 7 = 154 cm2

For given cube:
side = 7 cm
Lateral surface area of the cube
= 4l2 = 4 × 72
= 4 × 49 = 196 cm2
Hence, cubical box has a larger area.

7. A closed cylindrical tank of radius 7 m and height 3 m is made from a sheet of metal. How much sheet of metal is required?
Solution:
For given cylindrical tank:
radius (r) = 7 m, height (h) = 3 m
Total surface area of tank
= 2πr (r + h)
= 2 × \(\frac {22}{7}\) × 7(7 + 3)
= 44(10) = 440 m2
Hence, 440 m2 sheet of metal is required.

8. The lateral surface area of a hollow cylinder is 4224 cm2. It is cut along its height and formed a rectangular sheet of width 33 cm. Find the perimeter of rectangular sheet?
Solution:
Lateral surface area of a hollow cylinder = 4224 cm2 (Given)
Let length of a rectangular sheet made from hollow cylinder be l cm.
∴ l × b = 4224
∴ 1 × 33 = 4224
∴ l = \(\frac {4224}{33}\) = 128 cm
∴ Length of rectangular sheet =128 cm

Perimeter of rectangular sheet
= 2 (l + b)
= 2 (128 + 33)
= 2 (161) = 322 cm
Hence, perimeter of rectangular sheet is 322 cm.

9. A road roller takes 750 complete revolutions to move once over to level a road. Find the area of the road levelled if the diameter of a road roller is 84 cm and length is 1 m.
Solution:
Shape of road roller is cylindrical.
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Mensuration Ex 11.3 4
For given cylinder:
Radius (r) = \(\frac{\text { diameter }}{2}\) = \(\frac {84}{2}\) = 42cm
length (height) (h) = 1 m = 100 cm
∴ Curved surface area of a roller
= 2 πrh
= 2 × \(\frac {22}{7}\) × 42 × 100
= 26,400 cm2
Roller covers area of 26,400 cm2 in 1 revolution.
∴ Area of covered by roller in 750 revolutions
= 26400 × 750 cm2
= \(\frac{26400 \times 750}{100 \times 100}\) m2
= 1980 m2
Hence, area of road levelled is 1980 m2.

radius (r) = \(\frac {diameter}{2}\) = \(\frac {14}{2}\) = 7 cm
height (h) = 20 cm
Now, label is placed 2 cm away from top and bottom.
∴ Height of label = (20 – 2 – 2) cm
= (20 – 4) cm = 16 cm
For label:
radius (r) = 7 cm, height (h) = 16 cm
∴ Area of cylindrical label = 2πrh
= 2 × \(\frac {22}{7}\) × 7 × 16
= 44 × 16
= 704 cm2
Hence, area of the label is 704 cm2.
