Question 1: Find the circumference and area of a circle of radius $4.2 \ cm$ .

Answer:

Radius $= 4.2 \ cm$

Circumference of circle $= 2 \pi r = 2 \times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times 4.2 = 26.4 \ cm$

Area of circle $= \pi r^2 =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times (4.2)^2 = 55.44 \ cm^2$

$\\$

Question 2: Find the circumference of a circle whose area is $301.84 \ cm^2$ .

Answer:

Area $= 301.84 \ cm^2$

Therefore $\pi r^2 = 301.84$

$\Rightarrow r^2 =$ $\frac{7}{22}$ $\times 301.84 = 96.04$

$\Rightarrow r = 9.8 \ cm$

Therefore circumference of the circle $= 2 \pi r = 2 \times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times 9.8 = 61.6 \ cm$

$\\$

Question 3: Find the area of a circle whose circumference is $44 \ cm$ .

Answer:

Circumference $= 44 \ cm$

Therefore $2 \pi r = 44$

$\Rightarrow r = 2 \times$ $\frac{7}{22}$ $\times 44 = 28 \ cm$

Therefore Area $= \pi r^2 =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times (28)^2 = 2764 \ cm^2$

$\\$

Question 4: The circumference of a circle exceeds the diameter by $16.8 \ cm$ . Find the circumference of the circle.

Answer:

Given: $Circumference - diameter = 16.8$

$\Rightarrow 2 \pi r - 2r = 16.8$

$\Rightarrow r =$ $\frac{16.8}{2\pi -2}$ $=$ $\frac{16.8 \times 7}{2 \times 22 - 2 \times 7}$ $= 3.92$

Therefore Circumference $= 2 \pi r = 2 \times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times 3.92 = 24.64 \ cm$

$\\$

Question 5: A horse is tied to a pole with $28 \ m$ long string. Find the area where the horse can graze.

Question 6: A steel wire when bent in the form of a square encloses an area of $121 \ cm^2$ . If the same wire is bent in the form of a circle, find the area of the circle.

Answer:

Area of square $= 121 \ cm^2$

Let the side of the square $= a$

$\Rightarrow a^2 = 121 \Rightarrow a = 11 \ cm$

Therefore Perimeter $= 4 \times 11 = 44 \ cm$

Let $r$ be the radius of the circle

Therefore $2 \pi r = 44$

$\Rightarrow r =$ $\frac{7 \times 44}{2 \times 22}$ $= 7 \ cm$

Therefore Area of circle $= \pi r^2 =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times (7)^2 = 154 \ cm^2$

$\\$

Question 7: The diameters of the front and rear wheels of a tractor are $80 \ cm$ and $2 \ m$ respectively. Find the number of revolutions that rear wheel will make to cover the distance which the front wheel covers in $1400$ revolutions.

Answer:

Diameter of front wheel $= 80 \ cm$

Diameter of rear wheel $= 2 \ m$

Distance covered by front wheel $= 1400 \times 2 \times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times 0.40 = 3520 \ m$

Let no of revolution that the rear wheel $= n$

Therefore $n \times 2 \times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times 1 = 3520$

$\Rightarrow n =$ $\frac{7 \times 3520}{2 \times 22}$ $= 560$

$\\$

Area of square $= 121 \ cm^2$

Let the side of the square $= a$

$\Rightarrow a^2 = 121 \Rightarrow a = 11 \ cm$

Therefore Perimeter $= 4 \times 11 = 44 \ cm$

Let $r$ be the radius of the circle

Therefore $2 \pi r = 44$

$\Rightarrow r =$ $\frac{7 \times 44}{2 \times 22}$ $= 7 \ cm$

Therefore Area of circle $= \pi r^2 =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times (7)^2 = 154 \ cm^2$

$\\$

Question 9: The circumference of two circles are in the ratio $2: 3$ . Find the ratio of their areas.

Answer:

Let the radius of first circle $= r_1$

Let the radius of second circle $= r_2$

Therefore $\frac{2\pi r_1}{2 \pi r_2}$ $=$ $\frac{2}{3}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{r_1}{r_2}$ $=$ $\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore Ratios of their areas $=$ $\frac{\pi {r_1}^2}{\pi {r_2}^2}$ $= \Big($ $\frac{r_1}{r_2}$ $\Big)^2 =$ $\frac{4}{3}$

$\\$

Question 10: The side of a square is $10 \ cm$ . Find the area of circumscribed and inscribed circles.

Answer:

When square is inscribed in the circle

Therefore diameter $= 10\sqrt{2}$

Therefore radius of circle $= 5\sqrt{2}$

Therefore are of circle $= \pi (5\sqrt{2})^2 = 50\pi = 157.143 \ cm^2$

When the circle is inscribed in the square

Diameter $= 10 \ cm$

Therefore radius $= 5 \ cm$

Therefore Area of circle $= \pi (5)^2 = 25 \pi = 78.57 \ cm^2$

$\\$

Question 11: The sum of the radii of two circles is $140 \ cm$ and the difference of their circumferences is $88 \ cm$ . Find the diameters of the circles.

Answer:

Let the two radii be $r_1$ and $r_2$

Therefore $r_1 + r_2 = 140$ … … … … … i)

$2\pi r_1 - 2\pi r_2 = 88$ … … … … … ii)

From i) and ii) $r_2 = 140 - r_1$

Therefore $2\pi (r_1-r_2) = 88$

$\Rightarrow 2 \pi (r_1 - (140 - r_1)) = 88$

$2\pi (2r_1 - 140) = 88$

$2r_1 = \Big($ $\frac{88}{2} \times \frac{22}{7}$ $\Big) + 140$

$\Rightarrow 2r_1 = 154$

$\Rightarrow r_1 = 77 \ cm$

Therefore $r_2 = 140 - r_1 = 140 - 77 = 63 \ cm$

Diameter of circles are $154 \ cm$ and $126 \ cm$

$\\$

Question 12: Find the area of the circle in which a square of area $64 \ cm^2$ is inscribed. $($ Take $\pi = 3.14)$

Answer:

Area of square $= 64 \ cm^2$

$\Rightarrow$ Side of square $= 8 \ cm$

$\Rightarrow$ Diameter of circle $= 8\sqrt{2} \ cm$

$\Rightarrow$ Radius of the circle $= 4\sqrt{2} \ cm$

Hence Area of circle $= \pi (4\sqrt{2})^2 = 100.48 \ cm^2$

$\\$

Question 13: A field is in the form of a circle. A fence is to be erected around the field. The cost of fencing would be $Rs. \ 2640$ at the rate of $Rs. \ 12$ per meter. Then, the field is to be thoroughly ploughed at the cost of $Rs. \ 0.50 \ per \ m$ . What is the amount required to plough the field? $($ Take $\pi =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $)$

Answer:

Cost of fencing $= 2640 \ Rs.$

Circumference of the field $=$ $\frac{2640}{12}$ $= 220 \ m$

Therefore $2 \pi r = 220$

$\Rightarrow r =$ $\frac{220 \times 7}{2 \times 22}$ $= 35 \ m$

Area of the field $= \pi r^2 = \pi (35)^2 = 3850 \ m^2$

Therefore cost of ploughing $= 3850 \times 0.5 = 1925 \ Rs.$

$\\$

Question 14: If square is inscribed in a circle, find the ratio of the areas of the circle and the square.

Answer:

Let the side of the square $= a$

Therefore diameter of circle $= a\sqrt{2}$

Therefore radius of the circle $=$ $\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}$

Therefore ratios of their areas $=$ $\frac{\pi (\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}})^2}{a^2}$ $=$ $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Hence the ratios of their area is $\pi : 2$

$\\$

Question 15: A park is in the form of a rectangle $120 \ m \times 100 \ m$ . At the center of the park there is a circular lawn. The area of park excluding lawn is $8700 \ m^2$ . Find the radius of the circular lawn. $($ Take $\pi =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $)$

Answer:

Let the radius of the circle $= r$

Area of the park $= 100 \times 120 = 12000 \ m^2$

Are of circle $= \pi r^2$

Therefore $12000 = \pi r^2 = 8700$

$\Rightarrow \pi r^2 = 12000 - 8700$

$\Rightarrow \pi r^2 = 3300$

$\Rightarrow r^2 = 1050$

Therefore $r = 32.40 \ m$

$\\$

Question 16: The radii of two circles are $8 \ cm$ and $6 \ cm$ respectively. Find the radius of the circle having its area equal to the sum of the areas of the two circles.

Answer:

Let the radius of the circle $= r$

Therefore $\pi r^2 = \pi (8)^2 + \pi (6)^2$

$\Rightarrow r^2 = 64 + 36$

$\Rightarrow r = 10 \ cm$

$\\$

Question 17: The radii of two circles are $19 \ cm$ and $9 \ cm$ respectively. Find the radius and area of the circle which has its circumference equal to the sum of the circumferences of the two circles.

Answer:

Let the radius of the circle $= r$

Therefore $2\pi r = 2\pi (19) + 2\pi (9)$

$\Rightarrow r = 19 + 9 = 28 \ cm$

Therefore Area $= \pi (28)^2 = 2464 \ cm^2$

Circumference $= 2 \pi (28) = 176 \ cm$

$\\$

Question 18: A car travels 1-kilometer distance in which each wheel makes $450$ complete revolutions. Find the radius of its wheels.

Answer:

Let the radius of the wheel $= r$

Therefore $2 \pi r \times 450 = 1000$

$\Rightarrow r =$ $\frac{1000 \times 7}{2 \times 450 \times 22}$ $= 0.3535 \ m \ or \ 35.35 \ cm$

$\\$

Question 19: The area enclosed between the concentric circles is $770 \ cm^2$ . If the radius of the outer circle is $21 \ cm$ , find the radius of the inner circle.

Answer:

Let the radius of the inner circle $= r$

Therefore $\pi (21)^2 - \pi (r)^2 = 770$

$\Rightarrow \pi r^2 =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times 21^2 - 770$

$\Rightarrow \pi r^2 = 616 \ cm^2$

Therefore $r^2 = \frac{7}{22} \times 616 = 196$

$\Rightarrow r = 14 \ cm$

$\\$

Question 20: The wheel of a car is making $5$ revolutions per second. If the diameter of the wheel is $84 \ cm$ , find its speed in $km/hr$ . Give your answer, correct to nearest km.

Answer:

No. of revolutions per second $= 5$

Radius of the wheel $= 42 \ cm$

Therefore circumference of the wheel $= 2 \pi r = 2 \times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times 42 = 264 \ cm$

Hence the distance covered in 1 second $= 5 \times 264 = 1320 \ cm \ or \ 13.20 \ m$

Hence distance covered in one hour $= 13.20 \times 3600 = 47520 \ m \ or \ 47.52 \ km$

$\\$

Question 21: A sheet is $11 \ cm$ long and $2 \ cm$ wide. Circular pieces of $0.5 \ cm$ in diameter are cut from it to prepare discs. Calculate the number of discs that can be prepared.

No of disks by breadth $= 4$

Therefore total number of disks that can be cut $= 4 \times 22 = 88$

$\\$

Question 22: A copper wire when bent in the form of an equilateral triangle has area $121\sqrt{3} \ cm^2$ . If the same wire is bent into the form of a circle, find the area enclosed.

Answer:

Let the side of the equilateral triangle $= a$

Therefore $h =$ $\sqrt{a^2 - (\frac{a}{2})^2}$ $=$ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ $a$

Therefore $121 \sqrt{3} =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times a \times$ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ $a$

$\Rightarrow a^2 = 2^2 \times 11^2$

$\Rightarrow a = 22 \ cm$

Therefore perimeter $= 66 \ cm$

Let the radius of the circle $= r$

Therefore $2\pi r = 66$

$\Rightarrow r =$ $\frac{7 \times 66}{2 \time 22}$ $= 10.5 \ cm$

Area of circle $= \pi (10.5)^2 = 346.5 \ cm^2$

$\\$

Question 23: A plot is in the form of a rectangle $ABCD$ having semi-circle-on $BC$ as shown in the adjoining figure. $AB =60 \ m$ and $BC = 28 \ m$ , find the area of the plot.

Answer:

Area of rectangle $= 60 \times 28 = 1680 \ m^2$

Diameter of semi circle $=$ $\frac{28}{2}$ $= 14 \ m$

Therefore Area of semi circle $=$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times \pi (14)^2 =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times (14)^2 = 308 \ m^2$

Hence area of the park $= 1680 + 308 = 1988 \ m^2$

$\\$

Question 24: A play ground has the shape of a rectangle, with two semi-circles on its smaller sides as diameters, added to its outside. If the sides of the rectangle are $36 \ m$ and $24.5 \ m$ , find, the area of the playground. $($ Take $\pi =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $)$

Answer:

Area of rectangle $= 36 \times 24.5 = 882 \ m^2$

Radius of semicircle $=$ $\frac{24.5}{2}$ $= 12.25 \ m$

Therefore Area of 2 semi circles $= 2 [$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\pi (12.25)^2 ] = 471.625 \ m^2$

Therefore total area $= 882 + 471.625 = 1353.625 \ m$

$\\$

Question 25: The outer circumference of a circular race-track is $528 \ m$ . The track is everywhere $14 \ m$ wide. Calculate the cost of leveling the track at the rate of $50$ paise per square meter. $($ Take $\pi =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $)$

Answer:

Let the outer radius $= r$

Circumference $= 528 \ m$

$\Rightarrow 2 \pi r = 528$

$\Rightarrow r =$ $\frac{528 \times 7}{2 \times 22}$ $= 84 \ m$

Therefore inner radius $= 84 - 12 = 70 \ m$

Therefore area of track $= \pi (84)^2 - \pi (70)^2 = 6776 \ m^2$

Cost of leveling $= 6776 \times 0.5 = 3388 \ Rs.$

$\\$

Question 26: A rectangular piece is $20 \ m$ long and $15 \ m$ wide. From its four corners, quadrants of radii $3.5 \ m$ have been cut. Find the area of the remaining part.

Answer:

Area of the rectangle $= 20 \times 15 = 300 \ cm^2$

Area of quadrants $= 4 [$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\times \pi \times 3.5^2 ] = 38.5 \ m^2$

Therefore Remaining area $= 300 - 38.5 = 261.5 \ m^2$

$\\$

Question 27: Four equal circles, each of radius $5 \ cm$ , touch each other as shown in the adjoining figures. Find the area included between them. $($ Take $\pi = 3.14)$

Area of the square $= 10 \times 10 = 100 \ cm^2$

Area of quadrants $= 4 [$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\times \pi \times 5^2 ] = 78.5 \ cm^2$

Therefore Remaining area $= 100 - 78.5 = 21.5 \ cm^2$

$\\$

Question 28: Four cows are tethered at four corners of a square plot of side $50 \ m$ , so that they just cannot reach one another. what area will be left ungrazed?

Area of quadrants $= 4 [$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\times \pi \times 25^2 ] = 1964.29 \ m^2$

Therefore Remaining area $= 2500 - 1964.29 = 535.71 \ m^2$

$\\$

Question 29: A road which is $7 \ m$ wide surrounds a circular park whose circumference is $352 \ m$ . Find the area of the road.

Answer:

Let the radius of the park $= r$

Circumference of park $= 352 \ m$

Therefore $2 \pi r = 352$

$\Rightarrow r = \frac{352 \times 7}{2 \times 22} =56 \ m$

Outer radius $= 56 + 7 = 63 \ m$

Therefore area of the road $= \pi (63)^2 - \pi (56)^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times (63^2 - 56^2) = 2618 \ m^2$

$\\$

Question 30: Four equal circles, each of radius a, touch each other. show that the area between the is $\frac{6}{7} a^2$ . $($ Take $\pi =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $)$

Area of rectangle = (2a) \times (2a) = 4a^2

Area of quadrants $= 4 [$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\times \pi \times a^2 ] =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $a^2$

Therefore Remaining area $= 4a^2 -$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $a^2 =$ $\frac{6}{7}$ $a^2$

$\\$

Question 31: Two circular pieces of equal radii and maximum area, touching each other are cut out from a rectangular card board of dimensions $14 \ cm \times 7 \ cm$ . Find the area of the remaining cardboard. $($ Take $\pi =$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $)$

Answer:

Area of board $= 14 \times 7 = 98 \ cm^2$

Area of two cut outs $= 2 [ \pi 3.5^2 ] = 77 \ cm^2$

Remaining area $= 98 - 77 = 21 \ cm^2$

Question 32: In the adjoining figure, a square $OABC$ is inscribed in a quadrant $ODBE$ of a circle. If $OA=21 \ cm$ , find the area of the shaded region.

Answer:

Given: $OA = 21 \ cm$ , $ABCO$ is a square

Therefore Radius $= 21\sqrt{2} \ cm$

Hence area of quadrant $=$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $[ \pi \times (21\sqrt{2})^2 ] =$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $\times 2 \times 21 \times 21 = 693 \ cm^2$

Area of square $= 21 \times 21 = 441 \ cm^2$

Therefore shaded area $= 693 - 441 = 252 \ cm^2$

$\\$

Question 33: In the adjoining figure, $ABC$ is a right angled triangle in which $\angle A = 90^o, AB = 21 \ cm$ and $AC = 28 \ cm$ . Semi-circles are described on $AB, BC$ and $AC$ as diameters. Find the area of the shaded region.

Answer:

$BC = \sqrt{AB^2 + AC^2}$

$= \sqrt{21^2 + 28^2}$ $= \sqrt{1225}$ $= 35 \ cm$

Area of small semi circle with diameter $AB =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[ \pi \Big($ $\frac{21}{2}$ $\Big)^2 ] = 173.25 \ cm^2$

Area of large semi circle with diameter $AC =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[ \pi \Big($ $\frac{28}{2}$ $\Big)^2 ] = 308 \ cm^2$

Area of large semi circle with diameter $BC =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[ \pi \Big($ $\frac{35}{2}$ $\Big)^2 ] = 481.25 \ cm^2$

Area of $\triangle ABC =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times 21 \times 28 = 294 \ cm^2$

Therefore shaded area $= 173.25 + 308 - (481.25 - 294) = 294 \ cm^2$

$\\$

Question 34: In the adjoining figure, $AB = 36 \ cm$ and $O$ is mid-point of $AB$ . Semi-circles are drawn on $AB , AO$ and $OB$ as diameters. A circle with center $C$ touches all the three circles. Find the area of the shaded region.

Answer:

Total area of large semi circle

$=$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $(\pi (18)^2) = 162 \pi$

Area of two smaller semi circles $= 2 [$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times \pi (9)^2] = 81 \pi$

Let the radius of the small circle $= r$

Therefore, $(9+r)^2 = 9^2 + (18-r)^2$

$\Rightarrow 81 + r^2 + 18r = 81 +324 + r^2 -36r$

$\Rightarrow 54r = 324$

$\Rightarrow r = 6 \ cm$

Therefore area of small circle $= \pi r^2 = \pi (6)^2 = 36 \pi$

hence the shaded area $= 162 \pi -36 \pi -81 \pi = 45 \pi$

$\\$

Question 35: In the adjoining figure, the boundary of the shaded region consists of four semi-circular arcs, the smallest two being equal. If the diameter of the largest is $14 \ cm$ and of the smallest is $3.5 \ cm$ , find i) the length of the boundary ii) the area of the shaded region.

Answer:

Length of boundary $=$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[2 \pi (7) ] +$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[2 \pi (1.75) ] +$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[2 \pi (3.5) ] +$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[2 \pi (1.75) ]$

$= 7\pi + 1.75 \pi + 3.5 \pi +1.75 \pi = 14 \pi = 14 \times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $= 44 \ cm$

Therefore shaded area $=$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[ \pi (7)^2 ] - 2 \times$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[ \pi (1.75)^2 ] +$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[ \pi (3.5)^2 ]$

$= 24.5 \pi - 3.0625 \pi + 6.125 \pi = 27.5625 \pi = 27.5625 \times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $= 86.625 \ cm^2$

Therefore Radius $= 10 \ cm$

Perimeter $=$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[ 2 \pi (10) ] + 12+16 = 10 \pi + 28 = 59.42 \ cm$

Shaded region $=$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[ \pi (10)^2 ] -$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times 12 \times 16 = 50\pi -96 = 61.1428 \ cm^2$

$\\$

Answer:

i) Area of quadrant $OACB$

$=$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $[ \pi (3.5)^2 ] = 9.625 \ cm^2$

ii) Area of shaded region $= 9.625 -$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $[ \pi (2)^2 ]$

$= 9.625 - 3.14 = 6.465 \ cm^2$

Question 43: In the adjoining figure, $ABCD$ is a rectangle, having $AB = 20 \ cm$ and $BC = 14 \ cm$ . Two sectors of $180^o$ have been cut off. Calculate: i) the area of the shaded region ii) the length of the boundary of the shaded region.

Answer:

Area of the shaded region $= 20 \times 14 - 2 \times [$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\pi (7)^2 ]$

$= 280 - 154 = 126 \ cm^2$

Perimeter $= 20 +$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[ 2 \pi (7) ] + 20 +$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $[2 \pi (7) ]$

$= 20 + 7 \pi + 20 + 7 \pi = 84 \ cm$

Question 44: A circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle $ABC$ is side $12 \ cm$ , touching its Sides as shown in the adjoining figure. Find the radius of the inscribed circle and the area of the shaded part.

Answer:

$AO = \sqrt{12^2 - 6^2} = \sqrt{108} = 6\sqrt{3}$

Area of $\triangle ABC =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times 12 \times 6\sqrt{3} = 36 \sqrt{3}$

Let the radius of the circle $= r$

Therefore $36\sqrt{3} =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times 1.2 \times r \times 3$

$\Rightarrow r = 2\sqrt{3}$

Therefore area of circle $= \pi (2\sqrt{3})^2 = 12 \pi$

Therefore shaded area $= 36 \sqrt{3} - 12 \times$ $\frac{22}{7}$ $= 24.639 \ cm^2$
