Volume and Surface Area of Solids Exercise Ex. 15A

Solution 1(iv)

Length = 24 m, breadth = 25 cm =0.25 m, height = 6m.

Volume of cuboid= l x b x h

= (24 x 0.25 x 6) m3.

= 36 m3.

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

= [2(24 +0.25) x 6] m2

= (2 x 24.25 x 6) m2

= 291 m2.

Total surface area =2(lb+ bh + lh)

=2(24 x 0.25+0.25x 6 +24 x 6) m2

= 2(6+1.5+144) m2

= (2 x151.5) m2=303 m2.

Solution 1(iii)

Length = 15 m, breadth = 6m and height = 5 dm = 0.5 m

Volume of a cuboid = l x b x h

= (15 x 6 x 0.5) m3=45 m3.

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

= [2(15 + 6) x 0.5] m2

= (2 x 21x0.5) m2=21 m2

Total surface area =2(lb+ bh + lh)

= 2(15 x 6 +6 x 0.5+ 15 x 0.5) m2

= 2(90+3+7.5) m2

= (2 x 100.5) m2

=201 m2

Solution 1(ii)

Length 26 m, breadth =14 m and height =6.5 m

Volume of a cuboid= l x b x h

= (26 x 14 x 6.5) m3

= 2366 m3

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

= [2(26+14) x 6.5] m2

= (2 x 40 x 6.5) m2

= 520 m2

Total surface area= 2(lb+ bh + lh)

= 2(26 x 14+14 x6.5 +26 x6.5)

= 2 (364+91+169) m2

= (2 x 624) m2= 1248 m2.

Solution 1(i)

length =12cm, breadth = 8 cm and height = 4.5 cm

Volume of cuboid = l x b x h

= (12 x 8 x 4.5) cm3= 432 cm3

 

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

= [2(12 + 8) x 4.5] cm2

= (2 x 20 x 4.5) cm2 = 180 cm2

 

Total surface area cuboid = 2(lb +b h+ l h)

= 2(12 x 8 + 8 x 4.5 + 12 x 4.5) cm2

= 2(96 +36 +54) cm2

= (2 x186) cm2

= 372 cm2

 

Solution 2

For a matchbox,

Length = 4 cm

Breadth = 2.5 cm

Height = 1.5 cm

 

 

Volume of one matchbox = Volume of cuboid

= Length × Breadth × Height

= (4 × 2.5 × 1.5) cm3

= 15 cm3

 

Hence, volume of 12 such matchboxes = 12 × 15 = 180 cm3

Solution 3

For a cuboidal water tank,

Length = 6 m

Breadth = 5 m

Height = 4.5 m

 

Now,

Volume of a cuboidal water tank = Length × Breadth × Height

= (6 × 5 × 4.5) m3

= 135 m3

= 135 × 1000 litres

= 135000 litres

 

Thus, a tank can hold 135000 litres of water. 

Solution 4

For a cuboidal water tank,

Length = 10 m

Breadth = 2.5 m

Volume = 50000 litres = 50 m3

 

Now,

Volume of a cuboidal tank = Length × Breadth × Height

50 = 10 × 2.5 × Height

Height = 2 m = Depth

Thus, the depth of a tank is 2 m. 

Solution 5

For a godown,

Length = 40 m

Breadth = 25 m

Height = 15 m

Volume of a godown = Length × Breadth × Height

= (40 × 25 × 15) m3

 

For each wooden crate,

Length = 1.5 m

Breadth = 1.25 m

Height = 0.5 m

Volume of each wooden crate = Length × Breadth × Height

= (1.5 × 1.25 × 0.5) m3

 

Solution 6

Solution 7

Solution 8

Length of Cistern = 8 m

Breadth of Cistern = 6 m

And Height (depth) of Cistern =2.5 m

Capacity of the Cistern = Volume of cistern

Volume of Cistern = (l x b x h)

= (8 x 6 x2.5) m3

=120 m3

Area of the iron sheet required = Total surface area of the cistem.

Total surface area = 2(lb +bh +lh)

= 2(8 x 6 + 6x2.5+ 2.5x8) m2

= 2(48 + 15 + 20) m2

= (2 x 83) m2=166 m2

Solution 9

Area of four walls of the room = 2(length + breadth) × Height

= [2(9 + 8) × 6.5] m2

= (34 × 6.5) m2

= 221 m2

 

Area of one door = Length × Breadth = (2 × 1.5) m2 = 3 m2

 

Area of two windows = 2 × (Length × Breadth)

= [2 × (1.5 × 1)] m2

= (2 × 1.5) m2

= 3 m2

 

Area to be whitewashed

= Area of four walls of the room - Area of one door - Area of two windows

= (221 - 3 - 3) m2

= 215 m2

 

Cost of whitewashing = Rs. 25 per square metre

Cost of whitewashing 215 m2 = Rs. (25 × 215) = Rs. 5375

Solution 10

Solution 11

External length of the box = 36 cm

External breadth of the box = 25 cm

External height of the box = 16.5 cm

External volume of the box = (36 × 25 × 16.5) cm3 = 14850 cm3

 

Internal length of the box = [36 - (1.5 × 2)] cm = 33 cm

Internal breadth of the box = [25 - (1.5 × 2)] cm = 22 cm

Internal height of the box = (16.5 - 1.5) cm = 15 cm

Internal volume of the box = (33 × 22 × 15) cm3 = 10890 cm3

 

Thus, volume of iron used in the box

= External volume of the box - Internal volume of the box

= (14850 - 10890) cm3

= 3960 cm3

Solution 1

 


Solution 2

Radius (r) of cylindrical bowl =

Height (h) up to which the bowl is filled with soup = 4 cm

Volume of soup in 1 bowl = pr2h   = 154 cm3

Hence, volume of soup in 250 bowls = (250 × 154) cm3 = 38500 cm3 = 38.5 litres

Thus, the hospital will have to prepare 38.5 litres of soup daily to serve 250 patients.  

Solution 3

Radius (r) of pillar = 20 cm =   m

Height (h) of pillar = 10 m

Solution 4

For a tin can of rectangular base,

Length = 5 cm

Breadth = 4 cm

Height = 15 cm

Volume of a tin can = Length × Breadth × Height

= (5 × 4 × 15) cm3

= 300 cm3

 

For a cylinder with circular base,

Diameter = 7 Radius = r =  cm

Height = h = 10 cm

Volume of plastic cylinder is greater than volume of a tin can.

Difference in volume = (385 - 300) = 85 cm3

 

Thus, a plastic cylinder has more capacity that a tin can by 85 cm3.

Solution 5

Solution 8

Volume of a cylinder = 15.4 litres = 15400 cm3

Height (h) of a cylinder = 1 m = 100 cm

Internal diameter of a cylinder = 24 cm

Internal radius of a cylinder, r = 12 cm

External diameter of a cylinder = 28 cm

External radius of a cylinder, R = 14 cm

Length of the pipe, i.e height, h = 35 cm

Solution 10

Height (h) of cylindrical vessel = 32 m

 

Radius of small cylindrical glass = 3 cm

Height of a small cylindrical glass = 8 cm

Solution 25

  

Radius of the well = 5 m

Depth of the well = 8.4 m

Width of the embankment = 7.5 m

External radius of the embankment, R = (5 + 7.5) m = 12.5 m

Internal radius of the embankment, r = 5 m

Area of the embankment = π (R2 - r2)

Volume of the embankment = Volume of the earth dug out = 660 m2

Solution 26

Speed of water = 30 cm/sec

Volume of water that flows out of the pipe in one second

= Area of cross-section × Length of water flown in one second

= (5 × 30) cm3

= 150 cm3

 

Hence, volume of water that flows out of the pipe in 1 minute

= (150 × 60) cm3

= 9000 cm3

= 9 litres

Solution 27

Suppose the tank is filled in x minutes. Then,

Volume of the water that flows out through the pipe in x minutes

= Volume of the tank

Hence, the tank will be filled in 28 minutes.

Solution 28

Let the rise in the level of water = h cm

Then,

Volume of the cylinder of height h and base radius 28 cm

= Volume of rectangular iron solid

Thus, the rise in the level of water is 4 cm.

Solution 29

Radius, r = 1.5 m

Height, h = 280 m

 

Solution 30

Let the length of the wire = 'h' metres

Then,

Volume of the wire × 8.4 g = (13.2 × 1000) g

Solution 31

Solution 32

Let R cm and r cm be the outer and inner radii of the cylindrical tube.

We have, length of tube = h = 14 cm

 

Now,

Outside surface area - Inner surface area = 88 cm2

2πRh - 2πrh = 88

2π(R - r)h = 88

 

It is given that the volume of the tube = 176 cm3

External volume - Internal volume = 176 cm3

πR2h - πr2h = 176

π (R2 - r2)h = 176

  

 

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

2R = 5

R = 2.5 cm

2.5 - r = 1

r = 1.5 cm

 

Thus, the inner and outer radii of the tube are 1.5 cm and 2.5 cm respectively.
