Answer:

(i) We know that the area A of a circle of radius is given by Aπr2.
     Here, r  = 7 cm
A = 227×72 cm2.
A = 227×7×7 cm2 = 22×7 cm2 = 154 cm2.
(ii) â€‹We know that the area A of a circle of radius r is given by Aπr2.
     Here, r  = 2.1 m
∴ A = 227×2.12 m2.
A = 227×2.1×2.1 m2 = 22×0.3×2.1 m2 = 13.86 m2.
(iii) â€‹We know that the area A of a circle of radius r is given by A =  πr2.

Question 8:

A steel wire when bent in the form of a square encloses an area of 121 cm2. If the same wire is bent in the form of a circle, find the area of the circle.

Answer:

We have :
Area of the square = 121 cm2 
⇒ (side)2 = (11)2 cm2 
⇒ side =  11 cm.
So, the perimeter of the square = 4(side) = (4 x 11) cm = 44 cm.

Let r be the radius of the circle. Then,
Circumference of the circle = Perimeter of the square
  ⇒     2πr =  44
  ⇒     2 x 227x r =  44
 ⇒ r = 7 cm.
∴ Area of the circle = π​r2  = 227×7×7 = 22×7 = 154 cm2 .

Question 9:

A road which is 7 m wide surrounds a circular park whose circumference is 352 m. Find the area of of road.

Answer:

We have :
Circumference of the circular park = 2πr = 352 m
  ​  ⇒     2 x 227r =  352
   ⇒ r = 56 m.
Radius of the path including the 7m wide road = (r +7) =  56 +7 = 63 m.
∴ Area of the road :
 =π632 - π562 m2=π632 - 562 m2=π63 +5663 - 56 m2=π1197=227×119×7 m2 = 22×119 m2 = 2618 m2.

Question 12:

A wire of 5024 m length is in the form of a square. It is cut and made a circle. Find the ratio of the area of the square to that of the circle.

Answer:

We have:
    Perimeter of the square = 5024 m = Circumference of the circle
⇒​ 4 x Side of the square = 5024
∴ Side of the square = 50244 = 1256 m.
Let the area of the square be A1 and the area of the circle be A2.
Area of the square (A1)= side x side =50244 ×50244m2 .
Circumference of the circle = 5024 m
    ⇒ 2 πr = 5024 m

  2×227×r=5024 m  r = 5024×72×22.
 
Area of the circle (A2)= πr2   = â€‹227×5024×72×22×5024×72×22=5024×5024××72×2×22m2.

 A1:A2= 50244×50244 : 5024×5024××72×2×22 A1A2= 50244×50244 ÷ 5024×5024××72×2×22  A1A2=50244×50244×2×2×225024×5024××7A1A2=1114.A1:A2 = 11:14.
Hence, the ratio of the area of the square to the area of the circle is 11:14.

Question 13:

The radius of a circle is 14 cm. Find the radius of the circle whose area is double of the area of the circle.

Answer:

Let the area of the circle whose radius is 14 cm be A1.
Let the radius and area of the circle, whose area is twice the area of the circle A1 , be r2 and A2, respectively.

Thus,
A1πr2 = π142 = 227×14×14 cm2=44×14 cm2= 616 cm2.
A2 = 2 ×A1 = 2 × 616 = 1232 cm2
A2 = πr22 = 1232 cm2
 227×r22 = 1232 cm2r22 = 1232×722 = (56×7) cm2r2 = 56×7 = 7×8×7 =7×7×4×2  = 142 cm

Hence, the radius of the circle A2 is 142 cm.

Radius of the 2nd circle = 3 cm
Area of the 1st circle = π(6)2=36πcm2
Area of the 2nd circle = π(3)2=π×3×3=9π cm2
Area of the big circle = π(9)2=π×9×9=81π cm2
Area of the shaded portion = Area of the big circle - (Area of the Ist circle + Area of the IInd circle)
Area of the shaded portion = 81π-(36π+9π)=36π cm2.

Question 19:

The area of circle is 100 times the area of another circle. What is the ratio of their circumferences?

Answer:

Let the area of the first circle be A1, the circumference be  C1and the radius be r1.
Let the area of the second circle be A2 , the circumference be C2  and the radius be r2.

Thus,

    C1: C2=2πr1 : 2πr2C1C2 = 2πr12πr2 = r1r2

We know that :
         
   A1 =  100A2
∴ πr12 = 100×πr22 r12 = 100 ×r22r1 = 10 ×r2r1r2= 10

 Substituting the values, we get:
∴​ C1C2=r1r2 = 101C1:C2 =10:1 

Hence, the ratio of their circumferences is 10:1.

Question 11:

How long will John take to make a round of a circular field of radius 21 m cycling at the speed of 8 km/hr?

Answer:

 We have:
    The radius of the circular field = 21 m
∴ Circumference of the circular field = 2πr =2× 227×21 m= 132 m.
     If John cycles at the speed of 8 km/hr (In 1 hour John covers 8 km = 8000 m ), then,
     John covers 8000 m in 1 hour.

​​∴ Time required to cover 132 m  = 1328000 = 0.0165 hours
    1 hour = 3600 seconds
∴ 0.0615 hours = 0.0615 x 3600 = 59.4 seconds.

Question 12:

The hour and minute hands of a clock are 4 cm and 6 cm long respectively. Find the sum of the distances travelled by their tips in 2 days.

Answer:

The radius of the path inscribed by the hour hand = Length of the hour hand = 4 cm
The radius of the path inscribed by the minute hand = Length of the minute hand = 6 cm

The circumference of the path inscribed by the hour hand = 2πr = 2×227x 4 = 1767 cm.
The hour hand makes 2 revolutions in one day.
∴ The distance covered by the hour hand in 2 days = 1767×2×2 = 100.57 cm.
    The distance covered by the minute hand in 1 revolution = 2πr = 2×227x 6 = 2647 cm
  The minute hand makes 1 revolution in one hour. 
∴ In  1 day, it makes 24 revolutions.
    In 2 days, it makes  2 x 24 revolutions.
∴ ​The distance covered by the minute hand in â€‹2 days = 2 ×24×2647cm =126727  cm = 1810.28 cm
The sum of the distances travelled by the hour and minute hands in 2 days = 1810.28 + 100.57 = 1910.85 cm.

Question 16:

A boy is cycling such that the wheels of the cycle are making 140 revolutions per minute. If the diameter of the wheel is 60 cm, calculate the speed per hour with which the boy is cycling.

Answer:

​​We have:
The diameter of the wheel =  60 cm
Distance covered by the wheel in 1 revolution = Circumference of the wheel
∴ Distance covered by the wheel in 1 revolution = πd = 227×60 cm.
∴ Distance covered in 140 revolutions =  227×60×140 cm   = 1848007cm = 26400 cm.

Thus, the wheel covers 26400 cm in 1 minute. Then,
    Speed = 26400100×60m/hr = 264×60m/hr Speed= 264×601000km/hr = 15.84 km/hr.

Question 17:

The diameter of the driving wheel of a bus is 140 cm. How many revolutions per minute must the wheel make in order to keep a speed of 66 km per hour?

Answer:

We have:
   Diameter of the wheel = 140 cm, desired speed of the bus = 66 km/hr
∴ Distance covered in 1 revolution = The circumference of the wheel = πd = 227×140cm = 440 cm.
   Now, the desired speed of the bus = 66 km/hr  =66×1000×10060 = 1,10,000 cm/min.
∴ Number of revolutions per minute = 110000440 = 10004 = 250.

Thus, the bus must make 250 revolutions per minute to keep the speed at 66 km/hr.
