its total surface area.
Solution:
L = 20, b = 15, h = 10
Surface area of cuboid = 2 ( lb × bh × hl )

= 2 ( 20 ×15 + 15 ×10 + 20 ×10 )

= 2 ( 300 + 150 + 200 )
= 2 ( 650 )
= 1300m 2

11. Volume of a cube is 8000cm3. Find its total surface area.

Solution:
V = 8000cm3.
⇒ l3 =
8000cm3

 Solution:

Length of side of a square = 8m

Area of square = 82 = 64m2
Length of rope = 3m = r (radius of circle)

16. If x units are added to the length of the radius of a circle, what is the number of units by
which the circumference of the circle is increased?
Solution: Let the radius of the circle be ‘r’ units
The circumference of the circle will be 2π r units.
If the radius is increased by ‘x’ units, the new radius will be (r + x) units.
New circumference will be 2π ( r + x ) = 2π r + 2π x

Circumference increased by 2π x units.

21. From the adjoining figure find the area of shaded portion.

Solution: From the figure,

Area of shaded portion = [Area of rectangle with l = 24, b = 10] – [Area of rectangle with b =
6, l = 10 + Area of square with side = 4]…..(i)
Area of big rectangle = l × b
= 24 ×10 = 240cm 2 ... ( ii )

Area of small rectangle = l × b

=6 ×10 =60cm 2 ... ( iii )

Area of squares = 4 × 4 = 16cm 2 ... ( iv )

Using (ii), (iii) and (iv) in (i)

Area of shaded portion = 240 – (60 + 16)

= 164cm2

22. A flooring tile has a shape of a parallelogram whose base is 28cm and the corresponding
height is 20cm. How many such tiles are required to cover a floor of a area 2800m2.
Solution:
Given, Base = 28cm, height = 20cm
Area of floor = 2800m2
= 2800 ×104 cm 2
= 28 ×106 cm 2
Area of each parallelogram tile = base × height

23. Rain water which falls on a flat rectangular surface of length 6m and breadth 4m is
transferred into a cylindrical vessel of internal radius 20cm. What will be the height of water
in the cylindrical vessel if the rain fall is 1cm(Take π = 3.14)
Solution:

Since the water in rectangular surface is transferred to cylindrical vessel.

Length of surface = 6m = 600cm
Breadth of surface = 4m = 400cm

www.vedantu.com 10
 Height of water level = 1cm
Volume of water on the surface = l × b × h
= 600 × 400 ×1
= 24000cm3
Let ‘h’ be the height of the cylindrical vessel, r = 20cm (radius of cylindrical vessel)
Volume of cylindrical vessel = π r 2 h

= π ( 20 ) × h
2

Volume of water on surface = Volume of water in cylindrical vessel

24000 π ( 20 ) × h
2
=
240000
h=
π × 20 × 20
h = 191.08cm

24. If each edge of a cube is doubled

(a) how many times will its surface area increases
(b) how many times will its volume increases
Solution:

For side of ‘x’ units, surface area s1 = 6 x 2

When side of cube is doubled (2x units)

Surface area s2 = 6 ( 2 x )
2

s2 = 6.4.x 2
s2 = 4 ( 6 x 2 )
s2 = 4 s1
Surface area increases by 4 times.
Volume for edge of ‘x’ units v1 = x3

Volume of cube when edge is doubled(2x), v2 = ( 2 x )

3

www.vedantu.com 11
 v2 = 8 x 3
v2 = 8v1

Volume increases by 8 times.

25. A box with measures 80cm × 48cm × 24cm is to be covered with a tarpaulin cloth how
many metres of tarpaulin cloth of width 96cm is required to cover 5o such boxes?
Solution:
The box =
