Exercise 7.1

Question 1.
Using Heron’s formula, find the area of a triangle whose sides are 41 m, 15 m, 25 m.
Solution:

Question 2.
Find the area of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 150 m.
Solution:
3a = 150

Question 3.
Find the area of a quadrilateral whose sides are PQ = 15 cm, QR = 8 cm, RS = 25 cm, PS = 12 cm and LQ = 90°
Solution:

Exercise 7.2

Question 1.
Find the TSA and LSA of a cuboid whose length, breadth and height are 10 cm, 12 cm and 14 cm respectively.
Solution:
TSA = 2 (lb + bh + Ih)
= 2 (10 × 12 + 12 × 14 + 10 × 14) = 2 (120 + 168 + 140) = 856 cm²
LSA = 2 (bh + Ih) = 2 (12 × 14 + 10 × 14) = 2 (168 + 140) =2 (308) = 616 cm²

Question 2.
A cuboid has total surface area of 40 m² and its lateral surface area is 26 m². Find the area of its base.
Solution:

Question 3.
Find the surface area of a cube whose edge is
(i) 27 cm
(ii) 3 cm
(iii) 6 cm
(iv) 2.1 cm
Solution:
(i) TSA = 6a² = 6 × 27² = 6 × 729 = 4374 cm²
(ii) TSA = 6a² = 6 × 3² = 54 cm²
(iii) TSA = 6a² = 6 × 6² = 6 × 36 = 216 cm²
(iv) TSA = 6a² = 6 × 2.1² = 6 × 4.41 = 26.46 cm²

Exercise 7.3

Question 1.
Find the volume of a cube whose surface area is a 96 cm².
Solution:
6a² = 96 cm²

a = 6
Volume = a³ = 6³ = 36 × 6 = 216 cm³

Question 2.
The volume of a cuboid is 440 cm³ and the area of its base is 88 cm², find its height.
Solution:
l × b × h = 440 cm³

Question 3.
How many 3 metre cubes can be cut from a cuboid measuring 18 m × 12 m × 9 m?
Solution:

Question 4.
The outer dimensions of a closed wooden box are 10 cm by 8 cm by 7 cm. Thickness
of the wood is 1 cm³. Find the total cost of wood required to make box if 1 cm³ of wood costs ₹ 2.00?
Solution:
Volume of wood = 12 × 10 × 9 – 10 × 8 × 7 = 1080 – 560 = 520 cm³ × 2.00 = ₹ 1040
