Miscellaneous and Practice Problems
Question 1.
A square carpet covers an area of 1024 m² of a big hall. It is placed in the middle of the hall. What is the length of a side of the carpet?
Solution:
Area of the carpet = 1024 m²
side × side = 1024 m²
(side)² = 1024 m²
(side)² = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
= 2² × 2² × 2² × 2² × 2²
= (2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2)²
(side)² = 32²
side = 32
Length of a side of the carpet = 32 m
Question 2.
There is a large square portrait of a leader that covers an area of 4489 cm². If each side has a 2 cm liner, what would be its area?
Solution:
Area of the square = 4489 cm²
(side)² = 4489 cm²
(side)² = 67 x 67
side² = 67²
Length of a side = 67
Length of a side Length of a side with liner = 67 + 2 + 2 cm = 71 cm
Area of the larger square = 71 x 71 cm²
= 5041 cm²
Area of the liner = Area of big square-Area of small square
= (5041 – 4489) cm² = 552 cm²
Question 3.
2401 plants are planted in a garden such that each contains as many plants as the number of rows. Find the number of rows and the number of plants in each row.
Solution:
Given number of plants in a row = Number of rows.
Number of rows × number of plants in a row = Total plants
Total plants = 2401
= 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 7² × 7²
= 49 × 49
∴ number of rows = 49
number of plants in a row = 49
Question 8.
Give the answer in scientific notation:
A human heart beats at an average of 80 beats per minute. How many times does it beat in
(i) an hour?
(ii) a day?
(iii) a year?
(iv) 100 years?
Solution:
Heart beat per minute = 80 beats
(i) an hour One hour = 60 minutes
Heart beat in an hour = 60 x 80 = 4800 = 4.8 x 103
(ii) In a day
One day = 24 hours = 24 x 60 minutes
∴ Heart beat in one day = 24 x 60 x 80 = 24 x 4800 = 115200 = 1.152 x 105
(iii) a year
One year = 365 days = 365 x 24 hours = 365 x 24 x 60 minutes
∴ Heart beats in a year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 80 = 42048000 = 4.2048 x 107
(iv) 100 years
Heart beats in one year = 4.2048 x 107
Heart beats in 100 years = 4.2048 x 107 x 100 = 4.2048 x 107 x 102
= 4.2048 x 109
Challenging Problems
Question 9.
A greeting card has an area 90 cm2. Between what two whole numbers is the length of its side?
Solution:
Area of the greeting card = 90 cm2
(side)2 = 90 cm2
Question 10.
225 square shaped mosaic tiles, each of area 1 square decimetre exactly cover a square shaped verandah. How long is each side of the square shaped verandah?
Solution:
Area of one tile = 1 sq. decimeter
Area of 225 tiles = 225 sq.decimeter
225 square tiles exactly covers the square shaped verandah.
∴ Area of 225 tiles = Area of the verandah
Area of the verandah = 225 sq.decimeter
side x side = 15 x 15 sq.decimeter
side = 15 decimeters
Length of each side of verandah = 15 decimeters.
Question 11.
A group of 1536 cadets wanted to have a parade forming a square design. Is it possible? If it is not possible how many more cadets would be required?
Solution:
Number of cadets to form square design
1536 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
The numbers 2 and 3 are unpaired
It is impossible to have the parade forming square design with 1536 cadets.
39 x 39 = 1521
Also 40 x 40 = 1600
∴ We have to add (1600 – 1536) = 64 to make 1536 a perfect square.
∴ 64 more cadets would be required to form the square design.
Question 12.
Find the decimal fraction which when multiplied by itself gives 176.252176.
Solution:
We will find the square root of 176.252176
Question 15.
Simplify : (3.769 x 105) + (4.21 x 105)
Solution:
(3.769 x 105) + (4.21 x 105) = 3,76,900 + 4,21,00
= 7,97,900 = 7.979 x 105
Question 16.
Order the following from the least to the greatest: 1625, 8100, 3500, 4400, 2600
Solution:
1625 = (24)25 = 2100
8100 = (23)100 = 2300
4400 = (22)400 = 2800
2600 = 2600
Comparing the powers we have, 2100 < 2300 < 2600< 2800
∴ The required order : 1625, 8100, 2600, 3500, 4400
