A nursery school play ground is 160 m long and 80 m wide. In it 80 m × 80 m is kept for swings and in the remaining portion, there is 1.5 m wide path parallel to its width and parallel to its remaining length as shown in Fig. 9.9. The remaining area is covered by grass. Find the area covered by grass. Fig. 9.9 15-04-2018
Solution : Area of school playground is 160 m × 80 m = 12800 m2 Area kept for swings = 80 m × 80 m = 6400 m2 Area of path parallel to the width of playground = 80 m × 1.5 m = 120 m2 Area of path parallel to the remaining length of playground = 80 m × 1.5 m = 120 m2. Area common to both paths = 1.5 m × 1.5 m = 2.25 m2. [since it is taken twice for measuerment it is to be subtracted from the area of paths] Total area covered by both the paths = (120 + 120 – 2.25) m2 = 237.75 m2. Area covered by grass = Area of school playground – (Area kept for swings + Area covered by paths) = 12800 m2 – [ 6400 + 237.75] m2 = (12800 – 6637.75) m2 = 6162.25 m2. Any side of a triangle can be the base. The diagrams below show the length of the base (b) and the height (h) of several triangles. h represents the height. b represents the length of the base. 15-04-2018
In Fig. 9.10, ABCD is a parallelogram, in which AB = 8 cm, AD = 6 cm and altitude AE = 4 cm. Find the altitude corresponding to side AD. Fig. 9.10
Solution: Area of parallelogram ABCD = AB × AE = 8 × 4 cm2 = 32 cm2 Let altitude corresponding to AD be h. Then, h × AD = 32 or h × 6 = 32 32 16 or h= = 6 3 Thus, altitude corresponding to AD is cm.
A rectangular shaped swimming pool with dimensions 30 m × 20 m has 5 m wide cemented path along its length and 8 m wide path along its width (as shown in Fig. 9.11). Find the cost of cementing the path at the rate of Rs 200 per m2. Fig. 9.11 15-04-2018
Solution: Area covered by swimming pool = 30 m × 20 m= 600 m2. Length of outer rectangle = (30 + 8 + 8) m = 46 m and its breadth = (20 + 5 + 5) m = 30 m So, the area of outer rectangle = 46 m × 30 m = 1380 m2. Area of cemented path = Area of outer rectangle – Area of swimming pool = (1380 – 600) m2 = 780 m2. Cost of cementing 1 m2 path = 200 So, total cost of cementing the path = 780 × 200 = 156000 To become familiar with some of the vocabulary terms consider the following.
Circumference of a circle is 33 cm. Find its area.
Solution: Let the radius of the circle be r. Then, 2πr = 33 15-04-2018 33 33 7 21 i.e., r= = × = 2π 2 22 4 Thus, radius is cm 2 22 21 21 693 So, area of the circle = πr = . . = 7 4 4 8 Thus, area of the circle is cm2.
Rectangle ABCD is formed in a circle as shown in Fig. 9.12. If AE = 8 cm and AD = 5 cm, find the perimeter of the rectangle.
Solution: DE = EA + AD = (8 + 5)cm =13 cm DE is the radius of the circle. Also, DB is the radius of Fig. 9.12 the circle. Next, AC = DB [Since diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length] Therefore, AC = 13 cm. From ∆ADC, DC2 = AC2 – AD2 = 132 – 52 = 169 – 25 = 144 = 122 So, DC = 12 Thus, length of DC is 12 cm. Hence, perimeter of the rectangle ABCD = 2 (12 + 5)cm = 34 cm.
Find the area of a parallelogram shaped shaded region of Fig. 9.13. Also, find the area of each triangle. What is the ratio of area of shaded portion to the remaining area of rectangle? 15-04-2018 Fig. 9.13
Solution: Understand and Explore the Problem • What information is given in the question? (i) It is given that ABCD is a rectangle whose l = 10 cm and b = 6 cm. (ii) In the figure AF = 4 cm (iii) To find the area of shaded region. Plan a Strategy • First recall the areas of a triangle and a rectangle Area of a rectangle = length × breadth Area of a triangle = × base × altitude • In the Fig. 9.13, DAF is a right triangle in which ∠ A = 90°. ABCD is a rectangle and DEBF is a parallelogram, Since ∆ DAF ≅ ∆ BCE, therefore their areas will be equal. Solve • Area of ∆ DAF = × 4 × 6 cm 2 15-04-2018 • Area of rectangle = l × b = 10 cm × 6 cm = 60 cm2 • Area of shaded region = Area of rectangle – Area of ∆DAF – Area of ∆ BCE = (60 – 12 – 12)cm2 = (60 – 24)cm2 = 36 cm2 • Area of remaining part = Area of Rectangle – Area of shaded portion = (60 – 36) cm2 = 24 cm2 Ratio = Area of shaded portion : Area of remaining rectangle = 36 : 24 = 3 : 2 Revise • Area of shaded portion + Area of remaining portion = Area of rectangle That is, (36 + 24) cm2 = 60 cm2 1. We can also calculate area of shaded portion by using area of parallelogram. Think what would be its base and altitude. 2.
