example-7Short answer

160 m3 of water is to be used to irrigate a rectangular field whose area is 800 m2. What will be the height of the water level in the field?

Show solution

Solution : Volume of water = 160 m3 Area of rectangular field = 800 m2 Let h be the height of water level in the field. Now, volume of water = volume of cuboid formed on the field by water. 160 = Area of base × height = 800 × h h = = 0.2 So, required height = 0.2 m

example-8Short answer

Find the area of a rhombus whose one side measures 5 cm and one diagonal as 8 cm.

Show solution

Solution : Let ABCD be the rhombus as shown below. DO = OB = 4cm, since diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other. Therefore, using Pythagoras theorem in AOB, AO2 + OB2 = AB2 AO = AB2 OB2 = 52 42 = 3 cm So, AC = 2 × 3 = 6 cm 1 1 Thus, the area of the rhombus = × d1 × d2 = × 8 × 6 2 2 = 24 cm2.

Q4Long answer

The word ‘circumference’ comes from the Latin word circumferre, meaning to “carry around”. How does the Latin meaning help you define the circumference of a circle? Now, draw CL || AD Then ALCD is a parallelogram So AL = CD = 20 cm and CL = AD = 26 cm. In ∆CLB, we have CL = CB = 26 cm Therefore, ∆CLB is an isosceles triangle. Draw altitude CM of ∆CLB. Since ∆ CLB is an isosceles triangle. So, CM is also the median. 1 1 Then LM = MB = BL = × 20 cm = 10 cm 2 2 [as BL = AB – AL = (40 – 20) cm = 20 cm]. Applying Pythagoras theorem in ∆CLM, we have CL2 = CM2 + LM2 262 = CM2 + 102 CM2 = 262 – 102 = (26 – 10) (26 + 10) = 16 × 36 = 576 CM = 576 = 24 cm Hence, the area of the trapezium = (sum of parallel sides) × Height = (20 + 40) × 24 = 30 × 24 = 720 cm2.
