(a) 13 m

(b) 17 m

Question 6.
A field is in the shape of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 25 m and 10 m. The non parallel sides are 14 m and 13 m. Find the area of the field.
Solution:
The non parallel sides are 13 m and 14 m. Draw BE || AD. Such that BE = 13 m
∴ ABED is a parallelogram

To find Area of a ΔBCE
a = 13 m, b = 15 m and c = 14 m
s = $$\frac{a+b+c}{2}$$
= $$\frac{13+15+14}{2}$$
= $$\frac{42}{2}$$
= 21 m
s – a = 21 – 13 = 8 m
s – b = 21 – 15 = 6 m
s – c = 21 – 14 = 7 m
Area of a ΔBCE

= 2² × 3 × 7
= 84 m²
Let the height of the triangle BF be x
Area of the ΔBEC = 84 m²
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × b × h = 84
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 15 × h = 84
x = $$\frac{84×2}{15}$$
= $$\frac{56}{5}$$ m
= 11.2 m
Area of parallelogram ABED = base × height sq. units
= 10 × 11.2 m²
= 112 m²
∴ Area of the field = Area of ΔBCE + Area of parallelogram ABED
= 84 m² + 112 m²
= 196 m²
(OR)
Area of the field = Area of the trapezium ABCD
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ h (a + b)
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 11.2 (25 + 10)
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 11.2 (35)
= 196 m²

Question 7.
Find the area of a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 8 cm, BC = 6 cm, CD = 8 cm, DA = 10 cm and AC = 10 cm and ⌊B = 90°.
Solution:

In ΔABC, ⌊B = 90°
∴ ABC is a right angle triangle
Area of the right ΔABC = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × AB × BC sq.units
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 8 × 6 cm²
= 24 cm²
In ΔACD a = 10 cm, b = 8 cm and c = 10 cm
s = $$\frac{a+b+c}{2}$$
= $$\frac{10+8+10}{2}$$
= $$\frac{28}{2}$$
= 14 cm
s – a = 14 – 10 = 4 cm
s – b = 14 – 8 = 6 cm
s – c = 14 – 10 = 4 cm
Area of ΔACD = $$\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$$
= $$\sqrt{14×4×6×4}$$
= $$\sqrt{2×7×4×2×3×4}$$
= 4 × 2 $$\sqrt{21}$$ cm²
= 8$$\sqrt{21}$$ cm²
= 8 × 4.58
= 36.64 cm²
= Area of ΔABC + Area of ΔACD
= 24 cm² + 36.64 cm²
= 60.64 cm²
Area of the quadrilateral = 60.64 cm²

Question 8.
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 per m².
Solution:
Length of the room (l) = 5 m
Breadth of the room (b) = 4 m
Height of the room (h) = 3 m
Area for white washing = Lateral surface area of four walls + Area of the ceiling
= 2(l + b) × h + (l × b)
= 2(5 + 4) × 3 + (5 × 4) m²
= (2 × 9 × 3 + 20) m²
= (54 + 20) m²
= 74 m²
Cost of white washing for one m² = Rs 7.50
Cost of white washing for 74 m² = Rs 74 × 7.50
= Rs 555
The required cost = Rs 555

Question 9.
How many hollow blocks of size 30 cm × 15 cm × 20 cm are needed to construct a wall 60 m in length 0.3 m in breadth and 2 m in height.
Solution:
Length of a wall = 60 m = 6000 cm
Breadth of a wall = 0.3 m = 30 cm
Height of a wall = 2 m = 200 cm
Volume of the wall = l × b × h sq. unit
= 6000 × 30 × 200 cm³
For hollow block
l = 30 cm, b = 15 cm, h = 20 cm
Volume of one hollow block = l × b × h
= 30 × 15 × 20 cm²
Number of hollow blocks required

= 4000
∴ Number of bricks = 4000

Question 10.
Find the number of cubes of side 3 cm that can be cut from a cuboid of dimensions 10 cm × 9 cm × 6 cm.
Solution:
Side of a cube = 3 cm
Volume of a cube = a³ cm
= 3 × 3 × 3 cm³
Length of the cuboid (l) = 10 cm
Breadth of the cuboid (b) = 9 cm
Height of the cuboid (h) = 6 cm
Volume of the cuboid = l × b × h cu. unit
= 10 × 9 × 6 cm
Number of cubes

∴ Number of cubes = 20
