8. The diameter of a wheel of a car is 63 cm. Find the distance travelled by the car 
during the period, the wheel makes 1000 revolutions. 
 
Solution: 
It may be noted that in one revolution, the cycle covers a distance equal to the 
circumference of the wheel. 
Given the diameter of the wheel = 63 cm 
We know that circumference of the wheel = p d  
= 22/7 x 63  
= 198 cm. 
Thus, the cycle covers 198 cm in one revolution. 
Therefore the distance covered by the cycle in 1000 revolutions = (198 x 1000)  
= 198000 cm  
= 1980 m.

Given diameter of the wheel of a car = 98 cm 
Circumference of the wheel of the car = p d 
= 22/7 x 98

FAQs on Mensuration – I (Area of Circle Exercise 21.1) RD Sharma Solutions - Mathematics (Maths) Class 7

1. What is the formula for finding the area of a circle?
Ans. The formula for finding the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where A represents the area and r represents the radius of the circle.
2. How do I calculate the radius of a circle if I know the area?
Ans. To calculate the radius of a circle if you know the area, you can use the formula r = √(A/π), where r represents the radius and A represents the area of the circle.
3. Can I use the diameter to find the area of a circle?
Ans. Yes, you can use the diameter to find the area of a circle. The formula for finding the area of a circle using the diameter is A = (π/4) × d^2, where A represents the area and d represents the diameter of the circle.
4. How can I find the circumference of a circle if I only know the area?
Ans. If you only know the area of a circle and want to find the circumference, you can use the formula C = 2√(πA), where C represents the circumference and A represents the area of the circle.
5. What is the relationship between the radius and diameter of a circle?
Ans. The radius of a circle is half the length of its diameter. In other words, the diameter is twice the length of the radius. So, if you know the radius, you can find the diameter by multiplying it by 2, and vice versa.
