EXERCISE 13.1


1. A plastic box 1.5 m long, 1.25 m wide and 65 cm deep is to be made. It is opened at the top. Ignoring the thickness of the plastic sheet, determine:

(i) The area of the sheet required for making the box. 

(ii) The cost of sheet for it, if a sheet measuring 1m2 costs Rs 20.

Solution:

L = 1.5m,      B = 1.25m,     H = 65cm  ? 0.65m

Surface area of cuboid =  2(l + b) × h + lb

2(1.5 × 1.25) × 0.65 + 1.5 × 1.25

2 × 2.75 × 0.65 × 1.875

3. The floor of a rectangular hall has a perimeter 250 m. If the cost of painting the four walls at the rate of 10 per m2 is 15000, find the height of the hall.

[Hint : Area of the four walls = Lateral surface area.]

Solution:

Perimeter = 250m

10m2 painted = Rs. 15000

Area of four walls = 15000/250 = 1500m2

Area of four walls = lateral surface area

1500cm2 = 2(l + b) × h

1500 = 250m × h
