Exercise 13.1

Q1 2 cubes each of volume 64cm 3
= are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the
resulting cuboid.

Answer. Given that ,
Volume of cubes= ( Edge ) 3

( Edge ) = 64

Edge = 4cm

If cubes are joined end to end, the dimensions of the resulting cuboid will be 4 cm, 4 cm, 8 cm.
Surface area of cuboids

Q7 A tent is in the shape of a cylinder surmounted by a conical top. If the height and diameter
of the cylindrical part are 2.1 m and 4 m respectively, and the slant height of the top is 2.8 m,
nd the area of the canvas used for making the tent. Also, nd the cost of the canvas of the
tent at the rate of Rs 500 per m . (Note that the base of the tent will not be covered with

canvas.)

Given that,
Height (h) of the cylindrical part = 2.1 m
Diameter of the cylindrical part = 4 m
Radius of the cylindrical part =2 m
Slant height (l) of conical part =2.8 m
Area Of canvas used = CSA Of conical part + CSA Of cylindrical part

Q8 Water in canal, 6 m wide and 1.5 m deep, is owing with a speed of 10 km/h. how much
area will it irrigate in 30 minutes, if 8 of standing water is needed?

Consider an area of cross-section of canal as ABCD.
Area of cross-section = 6 x 1.5 = = 9m 2

Speed Of water = 10 km/h = metre /min 10000

60

Volume of water that ows in 1 minute from canal = 9 × 10000

60
= 1500m
3

Volume of water that ows in 30 minutes from canal 30 x 1500 = 45000m 3

Page 20

Let the irrigated area be A. Volume of water irrigating the required area will be equal to the
volume Of water that owed n 30 minutes from the canal.
Vol. of water owing in 30 minutes from canal = Vol. of water irrigating the reqd. area
2
A = 562500m

Therefore, area irrigated in 30 minutes is 562500m 2

Q9 A farmer connects a pipe of internal diameter 20 cm form a canal into a cylindrical tank in
her eld, which is 10 m in diameter and 2 m deep. If water ows through the pipe at the rate
Of 3 km/h, in how much time will the tank be lled?

Answer. Consider an area of cross-section of pipe as shown in the gure.

Radius (r ) of circular end of pipe=20/200 =0.1 m
1

Area of cross section = π × r 2

1
= π × (0.1)
2
= 0.01πm
2

Speed of water = 3km/h = 3000

60
= 50metre/min

Volume of water that ows in 1 minute from pipe = 50 × 0.01π = 0.5πm 3

Volume of water that ows in t minutes from pipe = t × 0.5πm 3

Radius (r ) of circular end of cylindrical tank =10/2=5
2

Depth (h ) of cylindrical tank = 2 m
2

Let the tank be lled completely in t minutes.
Volume of water lled in tank in t minutes is equal to the volume of water owed in t minutes
from the pipe.

Page 21

Volume of water that ows in t minutes from pipe = Volume of water in tank
2
t × 0.5π = π × (r2 ) × h2

2
t × 0.5 = 5 × 2

t = 100

Therefore, the cylindrical tank will be lled in 100 minutes.

Porous bricks are placed in the water until the cistern is full to the brim. Each brick absorbs
one-seventeenth of its own volume of water. How many bricks can be put in without
over owing the water, each brick being 22.5 cm x 7.5 cm x 6.5 cm?

Answer. Volume of cistern 150 × 120 × 110
3
= 1980000cm

Volume to be lled in cistern = 1980000 − 129600
3
= 1850400cm

Let n numbers of porous bricks were placed in the cistern
= n × 22.5 × 7.5 × 6.5

= 1850400cm

Let n numbers of porous bricks were placed in the cistern.
Volume of n bricks = n × 22.5 × 7.5 × 6.5
= 1096.875n

As each brick absorbs one - seventeenth of its volume therefore volume absorbed by these
bricks = n
(1096.875)
17
n
1850400 + (1096.875) = (1096.875)n

1850400 = (1096.875)

n = 1792.41

Therefore ,1792 bricks were placed in the cistern .
