Exercise 18.1
Question 1: Find the lateral surface area and total surface area of a cuboid of length 80 cm, breadth 40 cm and height 20 cm.
Solution:
We have,
Length of a cuboid (l) = 80 cm
Breadth of a cuboid (b) = 40 cm
Height of a cuboid (h) = 20 cm
Total Surface Area cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)
Total Surface Area cuboid = 2[(80)(40)+(40)(20)+(20)(80)]
Total Surface Area cuboid = 2[3200+800+1600]
Total Surface Area cuboid = 2[5600]
Total Surface Area cuboid = 11200 cm2
Lateral Surface Area cuboid = 2[l + b]h
Lateral Surface Area cuboid = 2[80+40]20
Lateral Surface Area cuboid = 40[120]
Lateral Surface Area cuboid = 4800cm
Hence, the total surface area is 11200cm2 and Lateral Surface Area is 4800 cm2.
Question 2: Find the lateral surface area and total surface area of a cube of edge 10 cm.
Solution:
We have,
Side of a Cube = 10 cm
Lateral Surface Area of Cube = 4 (side)2
Lateral Surface Area of Cube = 4(10 x 10)
Lateral Surface Area of Cube = 400 cm2
Total Surface Area = (6 Side)2
Total Surface Area = 6(102)
Total Surface Area = 600 cm2
Hence, the total surface area of cube is 600cm2 and Lateral Surface area of cube is 400cm2.
Question 3: Find the ratio of the total surface area and lateral surface area of a cube.
Solution:
We know that,
Total Surface Area of the Cube (TSA) = 6 Side2
Lateral surface area of the Cube (LSA) = 4 Side2
Ratio of TSA and LSA = (6(Side)2)/(4(Side)2 )
Ratio of TSA and LSA = 3/2
Ratio of TSA and LSA = 3:2
Hence, the ratio of TSA and LSA of cube is 3:2.
Question 4: Mary wants to decorate her Christmas tree. She wants to place the tree on a wooden block covered with colored paper with a picture of Santa Claus on it. She must know the exact quantity of paper to buy for this purpose. If the box has length, breadth, and height as 80 cm, 40 cm and 20 cm respectively. How many square sheets of paper of side 40 cm would she require?
Solution:
We have,
Length of the wooden block (l) = 80cm
Breadth of the wooden block (b) = 40cm
Height of the wooden block (h) = 20cm
Surface Area of the wooden box = 2[lb + bh + hl]
Surface Area of the wooden box = 2[(80×40)+(40×20)+(20×80)]
Surface Area of the wooden box = 2[5600]
Surface Area of the wooden box is 11200 cm2
The Area of each sheet of the paper = 40 × 40 cm2
The Area of each sheet of the paper = 1600 cm2
Number of sheets required = (area of the box)/(area of one sheet)
Number of sheets required = 11200/1600
Number of sheets required = 7
Hence, Marry would require 7 sheets.
Question 5: The length, breadth, and height of a room are 5 m, 4 m and 3 m respectively. Find the cost of white washing the walls of the room and the ceiling at the rate of Rs 7.50 m2.
Solution:
We have,
Length = l = 5 m
Breadth = b = 4 m
Height = h = 3 m
Total Area to be washed = lb + 2(l + b)h
Total area to be white washed = (5 × 4) + 2(5 + 4)3
Total area to be white washed = 20 + 2(9)3
Total area to be white washed = 20 + 54
Total area to be white washed is 74m2
It is given that, the Cost of white washing 1m2 is Rs. 7.50
The cost of white washing 74m2 = 74 × 7.50
The cost of white washing 74m2 = Rs. 555
Hence, the cost of white washing 74m2 is Rs.555.
Question 6: Three equal cubes are placed adjacently in a row. Find the ratio of a total surface area of the new cuboid to that of the sum of the surface areas of the three cubes.
Solution:
Let us assumed that,
Breadth of the cuboid = a
Length of the new cuboid = 3a
Height of the new cuboid = a
Total surface area of the cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)
Total surface area of the cuboid = 2(3a x a + a x a + a x 3a)
Total surface area of the cuboid = 14a2
Total Surface area of three cubes = 3 × (6 side2)
Total Surface area of three cubes = 3 × 6a2
Total Surface area of three cubes = 18a2
Ratio of a total surface area of the cuboid to total surface areas of the three cubes = 14a2/18a2
Ratio of a total surface area of the cuboid to total surface areas of the three cubes = 7/9
Ratio of a total surface area of the cuboid to total surface areas of the three cubes = 7:9
Hence, Ratio of a total surface area of the cuboid to total surface areas of the three cubes is 7:9.
Question 7: A 4 cm cube is cut into 1 cm cubes. Calculate the total surface area of all the small cubes.
Solution:
Edge of the cube = 4 cm (Given)
Volume of the cube = Side3 = 43 = 64
Volume of the cube is 64cm3
Again,
Edge of the cube = 1 cm3
So, Total number of small cubes = 64cm3/1cm3 = 64
And, total surface area of all the cubes = 64 x 6 x 1 = 384 cm2
Question 8: The length of a hall is 18 m and the width 12 m. The sum of the areas of the floor and the flat roof is equal to the sum of the areas of the four walls. Find the height of the hall.
Solution:
We have,
Length of hall = 18m
Width of hall = 12m
It is given that,
Area of the floor and the flat roof = Sum of the areas of four walls
Area of the floor and the flat roof = 2lb
Area of the floor and the flat roof = 2 x 18 x 12
Area of the floor and the flat roof = 432 sq/ft
Sum of the areas of four walls = (2 × 18h + 2 × 12h) sq/ft
432 = 2 × 18h + 2 × 12h
432 = 2 (18h + 12h)
432/2 = 18h + 12h
216 = 30h
216/30 = h
h = 7.2
Hence, the height of the hall is 7.2m.
Question 9: Hameed has built a cubical water tank with lid for his house, with each other edge 1.5 m long. He gets the outer surface of the tank excluding the base, covered with square tiles of side 25 cm. Find how much he would spend for the tiles if the cost of tiles is Rs. 360 per dozen.
Solution:
Edge of the cubical tank = 1.5m or 150 cm
Surface area of the cubical tank (5 faces) = 5 × Area of one Face
Surface area of the cubical tank = 5 × (150 × 150)cm2
It is given that,
Find area of each square tile
Side of tile = 25 cm
Area of one tile = 25 x 25 cm2
Number of tiles required = (Surface Area of Tank)/(Area of each Tile)
Number of tiles required = ((5×150×150))/(25×25)
Number of tiles required = 180
Cost of 1 dozen tiles, i.e., cost of 12 tiles = Rs. 360
Cost of one tile = Rs.360/12
Cost of one tile = Rs.30
The cost of 180 tiles = 180 × 30
The cost of 180 tiles = Rs. 5400
Question 10: Each edge of a cube is increased by 50%. Find the percentage increase in the surface area of the cube.
Solution:
Let 'a' be the edge of the cube
The surface area of the cube = 6a2
S1 = 6a2
We get a new edge after increasing the edge by 50%
The new edge = a + (50%)a
The new edge = a + (50/100 a)
The new edge = a + 1/2 a
The new edge = a + (2a + 1a)/2
The new edge = 3/2 a
The new surface area = 6 × (3/2 a)2
The new surface area = 6 × 9/4 a2
The new surface area = 3 × 9/2 a2
The new surface area = 27/2 a2
Increase in the Surface Area
Increase in the Surface Area =27/2 a2- 6a2
Increase in the Surface Area = (27a2 -12a2)/2
Increase in the Surface Area =15a2/2
Increase in the surface area
Increase in the surface area =(15/2 a2)/(6a2 )×100
Increase in the surface area =(15a2)/(12a2 )×100
Increase in the surface area = 125%
Hence, percentage increase in the surface area of a cube is 125%.
Question: 11 The dimensions of a rectangular box are in the ratio of 2: 3: 4 and the difference between the cost of covering it with a sheet of paper at the rates of Rs. 8 and Rs. 9.50 per m2 is Rs. 1248. Find the dimensions of the box.
Solution:
Let Length rectangular box (l) = 2x
Let Breadth rectangular box (b) = 3x
Let Height rectangular box (h) = 4x
Total Surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl)
Total Surface area = 2((2x)(3x) + (3x)(4x) + (4x)(2x))
Total Surface area = 2(6x2 + 12x2 + 8x2)
Total Surface area = 52×2
If the cost is at Rs.8 per m2
The total cost = 52x2
The total cost = 8 × 52×2
The total cost = Rs. 416
If the cost at Rs. 9.5 per m2,
Total cost = 52x2 × 2m2
Total cost = 9.5 × 52x2 × 2
Total cost = Rs. 494x2
Difference in cost = Rs. 494x2 - Rs. 416x2
1248 = Rs. 78x2
1248/78 = x2
16 = x2
x2 = 16
x = 4
Hence, the Length rectangular box is = 2 × 4 = 8m
Breadth rectangular box (b) = 3 × 4 = 12m
Height rectangular box (h) = 4 × 4 = 16m
Question 12: A closed iron tank 12 m long, 9 m wide and 4 m deep is to be made. Determine the cost of iron sheet used at the rate of Rs 5 per meter sheet, a sheet being 2 m wide.
Solution:
Length of the closed iron tank = 12 m
Breadth of the closed iron tank = 9 m
Height of the closed iron tank = 4 m
Total surface area of the tank = 2[lb + bh + hl]
Total surface area of the tank = 2[(12 × 9) + (9 × 4) + (12 × 4)]
Total surface area of the tank = 2[108 + 36 + 48]
Total surface area of the tank = 384 m2
The Length of the Iron Sheet = (Area of the Sheet)/(Width of the Iron Sheet)
The Length of the Iron Sheet = 384/2
The Length of the Iron Sheet = 192m.
Cost of the Iron Sheet = Length of the Iron Sheet × Cost rate
Cost of the Iron Sheet = 192 × 5
Cost of the Iron Sheet = Rs. 960
Hence, the cost of iron sheet is Rs. 960.
Question 13: Ravish wanted to make a temporary shelter for his car by making a box-like structure with the tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (with the front face of a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitching margins are very small, and therefore negligible, how many tarpaulins would be required to make the shelter of height 2.5m with base dimensions 4m × 3m?
Solution:
We have,
Length of the Shelter = 4m
Breadth of the Shelter = 3m
Height of the Shelter = 2.5m
The Area of tarpaulin required = 2h(l + b) + lb
The Area of tarpaulin required = 2 × 2.5 (4 + 3) + 4×3
The Area of tarpaulin required = 5(7) + 12
The Area of tarpaulin required = 47m2
Hence, the area of tarpaulin is 47m2.
Question 14: An open box is made of wood 3 cm thick. Its external length, breadth and height are 1.48 m, 1.16 m and 8.3 dm. Find the cost of painting the inner surface of Rs. 50 per sq. metre.
Solution:
We have,
External Length of the box = 148 cm
External Breadth of the box = 116 cm
External Height of the box = 83 cm
Inner Length of the box = 148 - (2 × 3) = 142 cm
Inner Breadth of the box = 116 - (2 × 3) = 110 cm
Inner Height of the box = 83 - 3 = 80
Surface area of the Inner region = 2h(l + b) + lb
Surface area of the Inner region = 2 × 80(142 + 110) + (142 × 110)
Surface area of the Inner region = 160 × 252 + (15620)
Surface area of the Inner region = 40320 + 15620
Surface area of the Inner region = 55940 cm2
Surface area of the Inner region = 5.2904 m2
The cost of Painting the Surface Area of the Inner region = 5.2904 × 50
The cost of Painting the Surface Area of the Inner region = Rs. 279.70
Hence, the cost of painting the inner region is Rs. 279.70
Question 15: The cost of preparing the walls of a room 12m long at the rate of Rs. 1.35 per square meter is Rs. 340.20 and the cost of matting the floor at 85paise per square meter is Rs. 91.80. Find the height of the room.
Solution:
We have,
Length of the room = 12m
Let the height of the room = h
Area of 4 walls = (Total Cost of preparing the wall)/(Rate of preparing the wall)
Area of 4 walls = (Rs.340.20)/(Rs.1.35)
Area of 4 walls = (Rs.340.20)/(Rs.1.35)
Area of 4 walls = 252m2
Area of 4 walls = 2(l + b) × h
252 = 2(l + b) × h
252/2 = (12 + b) × h
126 = (12 + b) × h______________(1)
Area of the floor = (Total Cost of floor)/(Rate of floor)
Area of the floor = (Rs.91.80)/(Rs.0.85)
Area of the floor = (Rs.91.80)/(Rs.0.85)
Area of the floor = 108m2
Area of the Floor = l × b
108 = 12 × b
180/12 = b
9m = b
Put the value of ‘b’ equation (1)
126 = (12 + 9) × h
126 = (21) × h
126/21 = h
6 = h
h = 6m
Hence, the height of the room is 6m.
Question 16: The dimensions of a room are 12.5 m by 9 m by 7 m. There are 2 doors and 4 windows in the room; each door measures 2.5 m by 1.2 m and each window 1.5 m by 1 m. Find the cost of painting the walls at Rs 3.50 per square meter.
Solution:
We have,
Length of the room = 12.5 m
Breadth of the room = 9 m
Height of the room = 7 m
Total surface area of the four walls = 2(l + b) × h
Total surface area of the four walls = 2(12.5 + 9) × 7
Total surface area of the four walls = 301m2
Area of 2 doors = 2(2.5 × 1.2)
Area of 2 doors = 6 m2
Area of 4 windows = 4 (1.5 × 1)
Area of 2 doors = 6 m2
Area to be painted on 4 walls = 301 - (6 + 6)
Area to be painted on 4 walls = 301 - 12
Area to be painted on 4 walls = 289 m2
Cost of painting = 289 × 3.50
Cost of painting = Rs. 1011.5
Hence, the cost of painting is Rs. 1011.5.
Question 17: The length and breadth of a hall are in the ratio 4: 3 and its height is 5.5 meters. The cost of decorating its walls (including doors and windows) at Rs. 6.60 per square meter is Rs. 5082. Find the length and breadth of the room.
Solution:
It is given that, Height is 5.5m
Let us assumed that,
Length of the hall = 4a
Breadth of the hall = 3a
Area of 4 wall = (Total cost of decoration of wall)/(Rate of decoration )
Area of 4 wall = (Rs.5082)/(Rs.6.6)
Area of 4 wall = 770m2
Area of four walls = 2(l + b) × h
770 = 2(4a + 3a) × 5.5
770/5.5 = 2(7a)
140 = 14a
140/14 = a
10 = a
a = 10
Length of the hall = 4a
Length of the hall = 4 × 10
Length of the hall = 40m
Breadth of the hall = 3a
Breadth of the hall = 3 × 10
Breadth of the hall = 30m
Hence, the length and the breadth of hall are 40m and 30m.
Question 18: A wooden bookshelf has external dimensions as follows: Height = 110 cm, Depth = 25 cm, Breadth = 85cm (See figure 18.5). The thickness of the plank is 5cm everywhere. The external faces are to be polished and the inner faces are to be painted. If the rate of polishing is 20 paise per cm2. Find the total expenses required for polishing and painting the surface of the bookshelf.
Solution:
External dimension
Length of book shelf = 85 cm
Breadth of book shelf = 25 cm
Height of book shelf = 110 cm
External surface area of shelf while leaving front face of shelf = 2(lb + bh) + lh
External surface area of shelf while leaving front face of shelf = {2(85 × 25 + 25 × 110) + 85 × 110}
External surface area of shelf while leaving front face of shelf = {2(2125 + 2750) + 9350}
External surface area of shelf while leaving front face of shelf = {2(4875) + 9350}
External surface area of shelf while leaving front face of shelf = {9750 + 9350}
External surface area of shelf while leaving front face of shelf = 19100 cm2
Area of Front face = [85 × 110 - 75 × 100 + 2(75 × 5)] cm2
Area of Front face = 1850 + 750 cm2
Area of Front face = 2600 cm2
Area to be polished = 19100 + 2600 cm2
Area to be polished = 21700 cm2
Cost of polishing 1cm2 area = Rs. 0.20
Cost of polishing 21700 cm2 area = 21700 * 0.20
Cost of polishing 21700 cm2 area = Rs. 4340
Length (l), Breadth (b), height (h) of each row of book shelf is
Length (l) = 75 cm,
Breadth (b) = 20 cm
Height (h) = (110-20)/3= 90/3 = 30 cm
Area to be painted in 1 row = 2(l + h)b + lh
Area to be painted in 1 row = [2(75 + 30) × 20 + 75 × 30)]cm2
Area to be painted in 1 row = [2(105) × 20 + 75 × 30)]cm2
Area to be painted in 1 row = [210 × 20 + 75 × 30)]cm2
Area to be painted in 1 row = (4200 + 2250) cm2
Area to be painted in 1 row = 6450 cm2
Area to be painted in 3 rows = 3 × 6450
Area to be painted in 3 rows = Rs. 19350 cm2
Cost of painting 1cm2 area = Rs. 0.10
Cost of painting 19350cm2 area = 19350 * 0.10
Cost of painting 19350cm2 area = Rs.1935
Total expense = 4340 + 1935
Total expense = Rs.6275
Hence, total expense required for polishing and painting the surface of the bookshelf is Rs. 6275
Question 19: The paint in a certain container is sufficient to paint on an area equal to 9.375 m2, how many bricks of dimension 22.5cm × 10cm × 7.5cm can be painted out of this container?
Solution:
Area = 9.375 m2
Area = 9.375 × 100 × 100
Area = 93750 cm2
Length of a single brick (l) = 22.5 cm
Breadth of a single brick (b) = 10 cm
Height of a single brick (h) = 7.5 cm
Surface area of a brick = 2 (lb + bh + hl)
Surface area of a brick = 2(22.5 × 10 + 10 × 7.5 + 7.5 × 22.5)
Surface area of a brick = 2(225 + 75 + 168.75)
Surface area of a brick = 937.50 cm2
Number of bricks that can be painted = (Area )/(Surface area of a brick)
Number of bricks that can be painted = 93750/937.5
Number of bricks that can be painted = 100
Hence, 100 bricks can be painted out of the container.
Exercise 18.2
Question 1: A cuboidal water tank is 6 m long, 5 m wide and 4.5 m deep. How many liters of water can it hold?
Solution:
Length of cuboidal water tank (l) = 6m
Breadth of cuboidal water tank (b) = 5m
Height of cuboidal water tank (h) = 4.5m
Volume of the cuboidal water tank = l × b × h
Volume of the cuboidal water tank = 6 × 5 × 4.5
Volume of the cuboidal water tank = 135m3
1m3 = 1000 liters
135m3 = (135×1000)liters
135m3 = 135000 liters
Hence, water hold by tank 1,35,000 liters.
Question 2: A cuboidal vessel is 10 m long and 8 m wide. How high must it be made to hold 380 cubic meters of a liquid?
Solution:
Length of cuboidal vessel (l) = 10 m
Breadth of cuboidal vessel (b) = 8 m
Volume of the vessel = 380m3
Volume of cuboidal vessel = l × b × h
380m3 = l × b × h
380m3 = 10 × 8 × h
h =( 380m^3)/(10m × 8m)
h = 4.75m
Hence, the height of the vessel is 4.75m.
Question 3: Find the cost of digging a cuboidal pit 8 m long, 6 m broad and 3 m deep at the rate of Rs 30 per m3.
Solution:
Length of cuboidal pit (l) = 8 m
Breadth of cuboidal pit (b) = 6 m
Height of cuboidal pit (h) = 3 m
Volume of the cuboidal water tank = l × b × h
Volume of the cuboidal water tank = 8 × 6 × 3
Volume of the cuboidal water tank = 144
Volume of the Cuboidal pit is 144 m3
Cost of digging 1m3 = Rs. 30
Cost of digging 144m3 = 144 x 30
Cost of digging 144m3 = Rs. 4320
Hence, the cost of digging 144m3 is Rs. 4320
Question 4: If V is the volume of a cuboid of dimensions a, b, c and S is its surface area, then prove that
1/V=2/S (1/a+1/b+1/c)
Solution:
Length of cube (l) = a
Breadth of cube (b) = b
Height of cube (h) = c
Volume of the cube = l × b × h
Volume of the cube = a × b × c
Volume of the cube = abc
Surface area of the cube = 2(lb + bh + hl)
Surface area of the cube = 2(ab + bc + ca)
It is given that,
1/V=2/S (1/a+1/b+1/c)
1/V=2/S ((bc+ac+ab)/abc) ________(i)
We know that S = 2(ab + bc + ca)
Put the value of S in equation (i)
1/V=2/(2(ab+bc+ca)) ((bc+ac+ab)/abc)
1/V=2/(2(ab+bc+ca)) ((bc+ac+ab)/abc)
1/V=1/abc
Hence Proved
Question 5: The areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are x, y and z. If the volume is V, Prove that V2 = xyz.
Solution:
Let us assumed that,
Length of a cuboid = a
Breadth of a cuboid = b
Height of a cuboid = c
It is given that, the areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are x, y and z
x = ab
y = bc
z = ca
xyz = ab × bc × ca
xyz = a2b2c2
xyz = (abc)2_______(1)
Volume of a cuboid (V) = abc
Put the value of V in equation (1)
V2 = xyz
Hence proved
Question 6: If the areas of three adjacent face of a cuboid are 8cm2, 18cm2 and 25cm2. Find the volume of the cuboid.
Solution:
Let the areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid is a, b, c.
a = 8 cm2 = lb
b = 18 cm2 = bh
c = 25 cm2 = lh
l = length of cuboid
b = breadth of cuboid
h = height of cuboid
abc = 8 × 18 × 25
abc = 3600
Volume of cuboid = lbh
abc = lb × bh × lh
abc = (lbh)2
abc = V2
Put the value of abc in above equation.
V2 = 3600
V = 60
Hence, Volume of the cuboid is 60 cm3.
Question 7: The breadth of a room is twice its height, one half of its length and the volume of the room is 512dm3. Find its dimensions.
Solution:
Let us assume that,
Length of the room = l
Breadth of the room = b
Height of the room = h
It is given that, the breadth of a room is twice its height, one half of its length
b = 2h and b = 1/2
1/2 = 2h
l = 4h
b = 2h
Volume of the room = l × b × h
512 = 4h × 2h × h
512 = 8h3
512/8 = h3
64 = h3
h = 4
Length of the room (l) = 4h
Length of the room (l) = 4 × 4
Length of the room (l) = 16dm
Breadth of the room (b) = 2h
Breadth of the room (b) = 2 × 4
Breadth of the room (b) = 8dm

Cross-sectional area of the pipe = 25 cm2
It is given that, the water flows forms a cuboid of base area 25 cm2 and length equal to the distance travelled in 45 minutes with the speed 16 km/hour.
Length = 16000 × 100 × 45/60cm
Volume of water coming out pipe in 45 minutes = 25 × 16000 × 100 × 45/60
Volume of water in the tank = Volume of water coming out of the pipe in 45 minutes
8000 × 2500 × h = 16000 × 100 × 45/60 × 25
h = (16000 × 100 × 45 × 25)/(60 × 8000 × 2500)
h = 1.5cm
Hence, the level of the water rises in the tank in 45 minutes is 1.5cm.
