   Problem Set 7 Geometry Class 10 Question 2. A washing tub in the shape of a frustum of a cone has height 21 cm. The radii of the circular top and bottom are 20 cm and 15 cm respectively. What is the capacity of the tub? = (π = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \))
   
   Given: For the frustum shaped tub,
   
   height (h) = 21 cm,
   
   radii (r
   
    1
   
   ) = 20 cm, and (r
   
    2
   
   ) = 15 cm
   
   To find: Capacity (volume) of the tub.
   
   Solution:
   
   Volume of frustum = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) πh (r
   
    1
   
   
    2
   
   + r

   10th Geometry Problem Set 7 Question 3. Some plastic balls of radius 1 cm were melted and cast into a tube. The thickness, length and outer radius of the tube were 2 cm, 90 cm and 30 cm respectively. How many balls were melted to make the tube?
   
   Given: For the cylindrical tube,
   
   height (h) = 90 cm,
   
   outer radius (R) = 30 cm,
   
   thickness = 2 cm
   
   For the plastic spherical ball,
   
   radius (r
   
    1
   
   ) = 1 cm
   
   To find: Number of balls melted.
   
   Solution:
   
    
   
   Inner radius of tube (r)
   
   = outer radius – thickness of tube
   
   = 30 – 2
   
   = 28 cm
   
   Volume of plastic required for the tube = Outer volume of tube – Inner volume of hollow tube
   
   = πR
   
    2
   
   h – πr
   
    2
   
   h
   
   = πh(R
   
    2
   
   – r
   
    2
   
   )
   
   = π × 90 (30
   
    2
   
   – 28
   
    2
   
   )
   
   = π × 90 (30 + 28) (30 – 28) …[∵ a
   
    2
   
   – b
   
    2
   
   = (a + b)(a – b)]
   
   = 90 × 58 × 2π cm
   
    3
    
   
    
   
   ∴ 7830 plastic balls were melted to make the tube.
  
   Problem Set 7 Geometry Question 4.
   
   A metal parallelopiped of measures 16 cm × 11cm × 10cm was melted to make coins. How many coins were made if the thickness and diameter of each coin was 2 mm and 2 cm respectively?
   
   Given: For the parallelopiped.,
   
   length (l) = 16 cm, breadth (b) = 11 cm,
   
   height (h) = 10 cm
   
   For the cylindrical coin,
   
   thickness (H) = 2 mm,
   
   diameter (D) 2 cm
   
   To find: Number of coins made.
   
   Solution:
   
   Volume of parallelopiped = l × b × h
   
   = 16 × 11 × 10
   
   = 1760 cm
   
    3
   
   
   Thickness of coin (H) = 2 mm
   
   = 0.2 cm …[∵ 1 cm = 10 mm]
   
   Diameter of coin (D) = 2 cm
   
    
   
   ∴ 2800 coins were made by melting the parallelopiped.
  
   Mensuration Problem Question 5.  The diameter and length of a roller is 120 cm and 84 cm respectively. To level the ground, 200 rotations of the roller are required. Find the expenditure to level the ground at the rate of ₹ 10 per sq.m.
   
   Given: For the cylindrical roller,
   
   diameter (d) =120 cm,
   
   length = height (h) = 84 cm
   
   To find: Expenditure of levelling the ground.
   
   Solution:
   
   Diameter of roller (d) = 120 cm
   
    
   
   Now, area of ground levelled in one rotation = curved surface area of roller
   
   = 3.168 m
   
    2
   
   
   ∴ Area of ground levelled in 200 rotations
   
   = 3.168 × 200 =
   
   633.6 m
   
    2
   
   
   Rate of levelling = ₹ 10 per m
   
    2
   
   
   ∴ Expenditure of levelling the ground
   
   = 633.6 × 10 = ₹ 6336
   
   ∴ The expenditure of levelling the ground is ₹ 6336.
  
   Question 6.
   
   The diameter and thickness of a hollow metal sphere are 12 cm and 0.01 m respectively. The density of the metal is 8.88 gm per cm3. Find the outer surface area and mass of the sphere, [π = 3.14]
   
   Given: For the hollow sphere,
   
   diameter (D) =12 cm, thickness = 0.01 m
   
   density of the metal = 8.88 gm per cm
   
    3
   
   
   To find: i. Outer surface area of the sphere
   
   ii. Mass of the sphere.
   
    
   
   Solution:
   
   Diameter of the sphere (D)
   
   = 12 cm
   
   ∴ Radius of sphere (R)
   
   = \(\frac { d }{ 2 } \) = \(\frac { 12 }{ 2 } \) = 6 cm
   
   ∴ Surface area of sphere = 4πR
   
    2
   
   
   = 4 × 3.14 × 6
   
    2
   
   
   = 452.16 cm
   
    2
   
   
   Thickness of sphere = 0.01 m
   
   = 0.01 × 100 cm …[∵ 1 m = 100 cm]
   
   = 1 cm
   
   ∴ Inner radius of the sphere (r)
   
   = Outer radius – thickness of sphere
   
   = 6 – 1 = 5 cm
   
   ∴ Volume of hollow sphere
   
   = Volume of outer sphere – Volume of inner sphere
   
    
   
   ∴ The outer surface area and the mass of the sphere are 452.16 cm
   
    2
   
   and 3383.19 gm respectively.
  
   Question 7.
   
   A cylindrical bucket of diameter 28 cm and height 20 cm was full of sand. When the sand in the bucket was poured on the ground, the sand got converted into a shape of a cone. If the height of the cone was 14 cm, what was the base area of the cone?
   
   Given: For the cylindrical bucket,
   
   diameter (d) = 28 cm, height (h) = 20 cm
   
   For the conical heap of sand,
   
   height (H) = 14 cm
   
   To find: Base area of the cone (πR
   
    2
   
   ).
   
   Solution:
   
   Diameter of the bucket (d) = 28 cm
   
    
   
    
   
   The base area of the cone is 2640 cm
   
    2
   
   .
  
   Question 8.
   
   The radius of a metallic sphere is 9 cm. It was melted to make a wire of diameter 4 mm. Find the length of the wire.
   
   Given: For metallic sphere,
   
   radius (R) = 9 cm
   
   For the cylindrical wire,
   
   diameter (d) = 4 mm
   
   To find: Length of wire (h).
   
   Solution:
   
    
   
   ∴ The length of the wire is 243 m.
  
   Question 9.
   
   The area of a sector of a circle of 6 cm radius is 157t sq.cm. Find the measure of the arc and length of the arc corresponding to the sector.
   
   Given: Radius (r) = 6 cm,
   
   area of sector = 15 π cm
   
    2
   
   
   To find: i. Measure of the arc (θ),
   
   ii. Length of the arc (l)
   
   Solution:
   
    
   
   ∴ The measure of the arc and the length of the arc are 150° and 5π cm respectively.
  
   Question 10.
   
   In the adjoining figure, seg AB is a chord of a circle with centre P. If PA = 8 cm and distance of chord AB from the centre P is 4 cm, find the area of the shaded portion.
   
    
   
   (π = 3.14, \(\sqrt { 3 }\) = 1.73)
   
   Given: Radius (r) = PA = 8 cm,
   
   PC = 4 cm
   
   To find: Area of shaded region.
   
   Solution:
   
    
   
   Similarly, we can show that, ∠BPC = 60°
   
   ∠APB = ∠APC + ∠BPC …[Angle sum property]
   
   ∴ θ = 60° + 60° = 120°
   
    
   
    
   
   Area of shaded region = A(P-ADB) – A(∆APB)
   
   = 66.98 – 27.68
   
   = 39.30 cm
   
    2
   
   
   ∴ The area of the shaded region is 39.30 cm
   
    2
   
   .
  
   Question 11.
   
   In the adjoining figure, square ABCD is inscribed in the sector A-PCQ. The radius of sector C-BXD is 20 cm. Complete the following activity to find the area of shaded region.
   
    
   
   Solution:
   
   Side of square ABCD
   
   = radius of sector C-BXD = [20] cm
   
   Area of square = (side)
   
    2
   
   = 20
   
    2
   
   = 400 cm
   
    2
   
   ….(i)
   
   Area of shaded region inside the square = Area of square ABCD – Area of sector C-BXD
   
    
   
   Radius of bigger sector
   
   = Length of diagonal of square ABCD
   
   = \(\sqrt { 2 }\) × side
   
   = 20 \(\sqrt { 2 }\) cm
   
   Area of the shaded regions outside the square
   
   = Area of sector A-PCQ – Area of square ABCD
   
   = A(A – PCQ) – A(꠸ABCD)
   
    
   
   Alternate method:
   
    
   
   □ABCD is a square. … [Given]
   
   Side of □ABCD = radius of sector (C-BXD)
   
   = 20 cm
   
   Radius of sector (A-PCQ) = Diagonal
   
   = \(\sqrt { 2 }\) × side
   
   = \(\sqrt { 2 }\) × 20
   
   = 20 \(\sqrt { 2 }\) cm
   
    
   
   Now, Area of shaded region
   
   = A(A-PCQ) – A(C-BXD)
   
   = 628 – 314
   
   = 314 cm
   
    2
   
   
   ∴ The area of the shaded region is 314 cm
   
    2
   
   .
  
   Question 12.
   
   In the adjoining figure, two circles with centres O and P are touching internally at point A. If BQ = 9, DE = 5, complete the following activity to find the radii of the circles.
   
    
   
   Solution:
   
   Let the radius of the bigger circle be R and that of smaller circle be r.
   
   OA, OB, OC and OD are the radii of the bigger circle.
   
   ∴ OA = OB = OC = OD = R
   
   PQ = PA = r
   
   OQ + BQ = OB … [B – Q – O]
   
   OQ = OB – BQ = R – 9
   
   OE + DE = OD ….[D – E – O]
   
   OE = OD – DE = [R – 5]
   
   As the chords QA and EF of the circle with centre P intersect in the interior of the circle, so by the property of internal division of two chords of a circle,
   
   OQ × OA = OE × OF
   
   ∴ (R – 9) × R = (R – 5) × (R – 5) …[∵ OE = OF]
   
   ∴ R
   
    2
   
   – 9R = R
   
    2
   
   – 10R + 25
   
   ∴ -9R + 10R = 25
   
   ∴ R = [25units]
   
   AQ = AB – BQ = 2r ….[B-Q-A]
   
   ∴ 2r = 50 – 9 = 41
   
   ∴ r = \(\frac { 41 }{ 2 } \) = 20.5 units
