Question 1.
(a) Match the following figures with their respective areas in the box?

(b) Write the perimeter of each shape?
Solution:
(a)

(b) (i) The given figure is a rectangle in which
Length = 14 cm
∵ Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × [Length + Breadth]
∴ Perimeter of the given figure = 2 × [14 cm + 7 cm]
= 2 × 21 cm = 42 cm

(ii) The figure is a square housing its side as 7 cm
∵ Perimeter of a square = 4 × side
∴ Perimeter of the given figure = 4 × 7 cm = 28 cm.

Question 1.
Nazma sister also has a trapezium shaped plot. Divide ¡tinto three parts as shown. Show that the area of trapezium WXYZ = h$$\frac{(a+b)}{2}$$

Solution:
Area of ∆ PWZ
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × Base × Attitude = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × c × h = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ch
Area of the rectangle PQYZ = b × h = bh
Area of ∆ QXY = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × d × h = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ch
∴ Area of the trapezium XYZW

Question 2.
If h = 10 cm, c = 6 cm, b = 12 cm, d = 4 cm, find the values of each of its parts separately and add to find the area WXYZ . Verify it by putting the values of h, a and b in the expression $$\frac{h(a+b)}{2}$$?
Solution:
Area of ∆ PWZ = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ch
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 6 × 10cm2 = 30 cm2
Area of ∆ QXY = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ch
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 4 × 10cm2 = 20cm3
Area of rectangle PQYZ = Length × Breadth
= b × h
= 12 × 10 cm2
= 120 cm2

∴ Area of trapezium WXYZ = Area of ∆ PWZ + Area of ∆ QXY + Area of rectangle PQYZ
= 30 cm2 + 20 cm2 + 120 cm2 = 170 cm2
Also, area of the trapezium WXYZ = $$\frac{h(a+b)}{2}$$
= $$\frac{10(22+12)}{2}$$ cm2 (∵a = c + b + d = 6 cm + 12 cm + 4 cm = 22 cm)
= $$\frac{10×34}{2}$$ cm2 = 170 cm2
Hence, the area of trapezium is verified.

Question 1.
Find the area of the following trapeziums?

Solution:
Note: Area of a trapezium
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × [Sum of parallel sides] × [Perpendicular distance between parallel sides]

(i) Area of the given trapezium
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (Sum of parallel sides) × (Perpendicular distance between parallel sides)
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (9 + 7) cm × 3 cm
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 16 cm × 3 cm = 24 cm2

(ii) Area of the given trapezium
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (Sum of parallel aides) × (Perpendicular distance between parallel sides)
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (10 + 5) cm × 6 cm
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 15 cm × 6 cm = 45 cm2

Question 1.
We know that parallelogram is also a quadrilateral. Let us also split such a quadrilateral, find their areas and hence thai of the parallelogram. Does this
agree with the formula that you know already?

Solution:
The diagonal BD of quadrilateral ABCD is joined and it divides the quadrilateral into two traingles.

Now,
= Area of ∆ ABD + Area of ∆ BCD
= ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ b × h) + ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ b × h) = 2($$\frac{1}{2}$$ b × h) = bh
In fact ABCD is a parallelogram
∴ Area of a parallelogram ABCD = b × h
Area of a parallelogram = Base × Height
We know that a parallelogram can also be a trapezium ABCD
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ (Sum of parallel sides) × [Perpendicular distance between the parallel sides]
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (b + h) × h = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (2b) × h = bh
orArea of parallelogram ABCD = bh.
Yes, the above relation agrees with formula that we know already.

Question 1.
Find the area of these quadrilaterals:

Solution:
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × AC × [Sum of perpendiculars on AC from opposite vertices]
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 6 cm × [3 cm + 5 cm]
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 6 cm × 8 cm = 24 cm2

(ii) The given figure is a rhombus having d1 = 7 cm and d2 = 6 cm.
∴ Area of the given rhombus
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × Product of diagonals = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × d1 × d2
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 7 cm × 6 cm = 7 cm × 3 cm = 21 cm2

(iii) The given figure is a parallelogram. Its diagonal divides it into two congruent triangles.
∴ Area of the parallelogram
= 2 × [Area of one of the triangles]
= 2 × [$$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 8 × 2] cm2
= 2 × 4 × 2 cm2
= 16 cm2

Question 1.
Divide the following polygons into parts (triangles and trapezium) to find out its area?

Solution:
(a) We draw perpendiculars from opposite vertices on FI. i.e. GL $$\perp$$ FI, HM $$\perp$$ FI and EN $$\perp$$ FI
= ar (∆ GFL) + ar (trapezium GLMH) + ar (∆ HMI) + ar (∆ NEI) + ar (∆ EFN)
= ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ FL × GL) + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ (GL + HM) × LM + ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ MI × MH) + ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ NI × NE) + ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ × FN × NE)

(b) NQ is a disgonal. Draw OA $$\perp$$ NQ, MB $$\perp$$ NQ, PC $$\perp$$ NQ and RD $$\perp$$ NQ

∴ Area of polygon OPQRMN
= ar (∆ OAN) + as (trap. CPOA) + ar (∆ PCQ) + ar (∆ RDQ) + ar (trap. MBDR) + ar (∆ MBN)
= ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ × NA × OA) + ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (CP + AO) × AC] + ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ × CQ × PC) + ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ × QD × RD) + [$$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (DR + MB) × BD] + ($$\frac{1}{2}$$ × BN × MB)

Question 2.

Poligon ABCDE is divided into pans as shown below Find its area if AD = 8 cm, AH = 6 cm, AG = 4 cm, AF = 3 cm and perpendiculars BF = 2 cm, CH = 3 cm, EG = 2.5 cm.

Area of polygon ABCDE = Area of ∆AFB + ………. Area of ∆AFB = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × AF × BF
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 3 × 2 = ……………..
Area of trapezium FBCH = FH × $$\frac{(BF+CH)}{2}$$
= 3 × $$\frac{(2+3)}{2}$$ [FH = AH – AF]
Area of ∆ CHD = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × HD × CH = …………..
Area of ∆ ADE = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × AD × GE = …………….
So, the area of polygon ABCDE = ……………
Solution:
Area of polygon ABCDE = Area of ∆ AFB + Area of trapezium FBCH + Area of ∆ CHD + Area of ∆ ADE
Area of ∆ AFB = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × AF × BF
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 3 × 2 = 3 cm2
Area of trapezium FBCH = FH × $$\frac{BF+CH}{2}$$
= 3 × $$\frac{(2+3)}{2}$$ cm2 [∵ FH = AH – AF]
= 3 × $$\frac{5}{2}$$ cm2 = $$\frac{15}{2}$$ cm2 = 7.5 cm2
Area of ∆ CHD = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × HD × CH
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (AD – AH) × CH [∵HD = AD – AH]
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ (8 – 6) × 3 cm2 = 3 cm2
Area of ∆ ADE = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × AD × GE
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 8 × 2.5 cm2 = 4 × 2.5 cm2 = 10 cm2
So, the area of polygon ABCD = 3 cm2 + 7.5 cm2 + 3 cm2 + 10 cm2 = 23.5 cm2

Question 3.

= ar (∆MAN) + ar (trap, ACON) + ar (∆CP) + ar (∆PDQ) + ar (trap. DBRQ) + ar (∆RBM)
∵ Area of ∆MAN = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × MA × AN
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 2 × AN cm2 = AN cm2
Area of trapezium ACON = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ (AN + OC) × AC

Area of ∆OCP = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × CP × OC

Area of ∆PDQ = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × PD × DQ

Area of trapezium DBRQ

Area of ∆RBM = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × MB × BR
= $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 4 × BR cm2 = 2BR cm2
∴ Area of polygon MNOPQR

Question 1.
Find the volume of the following cuboids?

Solution:
(i) Base area = 8 cm × 3 cm
Height = 2 cm
∴ Volume of the cuboid
(8 cm × 3 cm) × 2 cm = 48 cm3

(ii) Base area = 24 m2
Height = 3 cm
∴ Volume of the cuboid = Base area × height
= 24 m2 × 3 cm = 24 × $$\frac{3}{100}$$ m3
= $$\frac{72}{100}$$ m3 = 0.72 m3
Cube: Cube is a special case of a cuboid such that its Length = Breadth = Height
∴ Its volume = Edge × Edge × Edge
Volume of a cube = (Edge)3

Question 2.

Solution:
(a) Side (edge) of the cube = 4 cm
∴ Volume of the cube = (Edge)3 = (4 cm)3
= 4 × 4 × 4 cm3 64 cm3

(b) Side (edge) of the cube = 1.5 m
∴ Volume of the cube = (Edge)3
= (1.5 m)3 = ($$\frac{15}{10}$$ × $$\frac{15}{10}$$ × $$\frac{15}{10}$$)m3
= $$\frac{3375}{1000}$$m3 = 3.375m3

Solution:
(i) Radius (r) = 7 cm
Height (h) = 10 cm

= Base area × Height
250 m2 × 2 m = 500 m3
