Exercise 13.1




Answer:


Plastic box dimensions

Length (l) = 1.5 m

Breadth (b) = 1.25 m

Height (h) = 65 cm = 0.65 m


(i) Area of the sheet required for making the box


 = Total surface area - Area of the roof {Why?... because the box is open at the top}

 = 2(lb+bh+hl) - lb

 = 2lb + 2bh + 2hl - lb

 = lb +2bh + 2hl

 = (1.5x1.25) + 2 (1.25x0.65) + 2(0.65x1.5)

 = 1.875 + 1.625 + 1.95

 = 5.45 m2


(ii) 1 m2 of the sheet costs -> Rs 20

      So, 5.45 m2 of the sheet will cost → Rs x


         X = 5.45x 20

         X = 109

                                          

So, the cost of 5.45 m2 of the sheet is Rs 109



Answer

As per the question, the room is a cuboid, and I have to whitewash the room except for the ceiling. So we will again use the TSA formula minus the ceiling’s area.


Given:

l = 5 m

b = 4 m

h = 3 m


Surface area of the room to be white washed

= lb + 2bh +2hl

= (5x4) + 2(4x3) + 2(3x5)

= 20 +24 + 30

= 74 m2    


The cost of whitewashing 1 m = Rs 7.50

Cost of whitewashing 74 m2 = 74x7.50

                                                = Rs 555




Answer: 


Let the height of the room be ‘h’ m


As already given in the hint

Area of four walls = Lateral surface area of the rectangular hall (aka Curved surface area) 


                             = 2(l+b)xh

                             = (Perimeter of the rectangle)xh 

                              = 250xh                                            …… (1)


Height is not given but the overall cost and the cost of whitewashing 1 m2 f the room are given.

From that, we can find the overall area that was whitewashed.


Rs 10 is spent on whitewashing = 1 m2 of the wall

Rs 15000 will be spent on whitewashing = x m2 of the four walls

10x = 15000

x=  1500


So the curved surface area (or area of 4 walls) is 1500 m2 ………(2)


Putting (2) in (1)


1500 = 250x h

1500/250 = h


6 m = h


The height of the room is 6 m 



Answer: Let there be n number of bricks of dimensions 22.5 cm x 10 cm x 7.5 cm

With the given paint container we can paint bricks that amount to an overall area of 9.375 m2

= 9.375 x 100 x100 cm2

= 93750 cm2

The area that can be pained using 1 paint container = No of bricks x TSA of 1 brick   ….(1)


TSA of 1 brick = 2 (lb+bh+hl)

= 2 {(22.5 x 10)+(10 x 7.5)+(7.5 x 22.5)

= 937.50 cm2 ….. (2)

                                                         

Using (2) in (1)


93750 = n x 937.50

n= 93750/9.3750

n= 100 bricks





Answer:

A cubical box is given with edge 10 cm


A cuboid is given with

l=12.5 cm, b= 10 cm and h=8cm


(i) Lateral surface area of cuboid = 2(l + b) x h

= 2 (12.5 + 10) x 8

= 2 x 22.5 x 8

= 45 x 8

= 360 cm2                                                    


Lateral surface area of cube = 4l2

= 4 x 10 x 10

= 400 cm2  






The lateral surface area of the cube is greater by 40 cm2  



(ii)  TSA of cuboid = 2(lb + bh +hl)

       = 2 {(12.5 x 10) + (10 x 8) + (8 x 12.5)}

      = 610 cm2


TSA of cube = 6l2

= 6 x 10 x 10

 = 600 cm2 

TSA of cube is smaller than the cuboid by 10 cm2 



Answer:



The herbarium is a cuboidal structure with l= 30 cm, b=25 cm and h=25 cm

(i) Since the herbarium is made entirely of glass, area of the glass will be the

TSA of the structure = 2(lb + bh +hl)

= 2 {(30 x 25) + (25 x 25) + (25 x 30)}

= 4250 cm2 


(ii) The cuboid has 12 edges; 4 lengths, 4 breadths, and 4 heights

So the length of tape we need ( sum of all the edges) = 4l + 4b + 4h

 = 4(l + b + h)

 = 4 (30 + 25+ 25)

= 4 x 80

= 320 cm






Answer: Initially we will find the TSA of both the cardboard sizes and

add 5% of their areas to accommodate for overlaps.

Dimensions of smaller cardboard →

l=15 cm, b = 12 cm, and h = 5 cm


TSA of smaller cardboard = 2 (lb+bh+hl) 

= 2 {(15 x 12) + (12 x5) + (5 x 15)}

= 630 cm2 


Finding 5 % of 630 = 0.05 x 630 →  31.50 cm2

Total surface area of the smaller cardboard with extra area for overlap = 630 + 31.5

= 661.50 cm2




Dimensions of bigger cardboard →

l=25 cm, b = 20 cm, and h = 5 cm


TSA of smaller cardboard = 2 (lb+bh+hl) 

= 2 {(25 x 20) + (20 x5) + (5 x 25)}

= 1450 cm2 


Finding 5 % of 630 = 0.05 x 1450→  72.50 cm2

Total surface area of the smaller cardboard with extra area for overlap = 1450 + 72.5

= 1522.50 cm2



                                                                    

Combined TSA of of 1 box of each cardboard size

= 661.50 cm+ 1522.50 cm 

= 2184 cm



Combined TSA of 250 such cardboards

= 250 x 2184 = 546000 cm2



Its given that the cost of 1000 cm2 of cardboard = Rs 4

                       cost of 546000 cm2 of cardboard = n



1000 x n = 4 x 546000

            n= 4 x 546

            n= Rs 2184





Answer: Parveen is using Tarpaulin to cover her car, which is in the form of a cuboid (minus the area of the floor). Tarpaulin is a cloth, so it will be measured in square meters, that is, we will have to find the area.

Tarpaulin needed   = TSA of cuboid - area of the base

                               =  2(lb+bh+hl) - lb

                               = 2lb + 2bh + 2hl - lb

                               = lb +2bh + 2hl

                               = (4 x 3) + 2(3 x 2.5) + 2(2.5 x 4)

                               = 47 m
