Question 1.
There are two cuboidal boxes as shown in the adjoining figure. Which box requires the lesser amount of material to make?

Solution:
Surface area of box (a) = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2(60 × 40 + 40 × 50 + 50 × 60)
= 2(2400 + 2000 + 3000)
= 2 × 7400 = 14800 cm²
Surface area of box (b) = 6 × (side)² = 6 × 50² = 15000 cm²
Hence, box (a) required less amount of material than box (b) to make.

Question 2.
A suitcase with measures 80 cm × 48 cm × 24 cm is to be covered with a trapaulin cloth. How many metres of trapaulin of width 96 cm is required to cover 100 such suitcases?
Solution:
Let l, b and h be the length and breadth and height of the suitcase respectively.
⇒ l = 80 cm, b = 48 cm, h = 24 cm
Total surface area of suitcase = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2(80 × 48 + 48 × 24 + 24 × 80)
= 2(3840 + 1152 + 1920) cm² = 2(6912) cm² = 13824 cm²
Area of cloth required for 1 suitcase = Area of 1 suitcase
⇒ l × 96 = 13824

Length required for 100 suitcases

Question 3.
Find the side of a cube whose surface area is 600 cm².
Solution:
Surface area of cube = 6 × (side)²

Question 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.

Solution:
Rukhsar painted all the cabinet except the bottom means she painted 4 walls and 1 top. Let l = 1 m, b = 2 m, h = 1.5 m be the length, breadth and height of cabinet respectively.
Area of painted cabinet
= (lb + bh + bh + lh + lh)
= [l × 2 + 2 × 1.5 + 2 × 1.5 + l × 1.5 + l × 1.5]m²
= [2 + 3.0 + 3.0 +1.5 +1.5] m² = 11 m².

Question 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:
Daniel is painting 4 walls and 1 ceiling.
∴ Total painted area = Area of 4 walls + Area of ceiling
Let l = 15, b = 10 and h = 7 be the length, breadth and height of the hall respectively. = 2 × h(l + b) + lb = {2 × 7 (15 +10) + (15 × 10)} m2
= {14 (25) +150} m² = {350 +150} m² = 500 m²
If 100 m² of area is painted with one can

Question 6.
Describe how the two figures given below are alike and how they are different. Which box has larger lateral surface area?

Solution:
Alike: They both have same height. Different: Their shapes are different one is cylinderical and other is cubical box.
Let r and h be the radius and height of the cylinder.

Let the side of cube be a = 7 cm
⇒ Lateral surface area = 4(a)² = 4(7)² cm² = 196 cm²
∴ Cubical box has larger lateral surface area.

Question 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:
Let r and h be the radius and height of the closed cylinder.
Total surface area = 2πr(r + h)

Question 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:
Let r and h be the radius and height of the hollow cylinder and l be its lateral surface area.

Question 9.
A road roller takes 750 complete revolutions to move once over to level a road. Find the area of the road if the diameter of a road roller is 84 cm and length is 1 m.
Solution:
Area covered in 1 revolution = curved surface area of cylinder

∴ Area covered in 750 revolutions = 2.64 × 750 m² = 1980 m²

Question 10.
A company packages its milk powder in cylindrical container whose base has a diameter of 14 cm and height 20 cm. Company places a label around the surface of the container (as shown in figure). If the label is placed 2 cm from top and bottom, what is the area of the label.
