INTRODUCTION


In this chapter, we shall discuss problems on conversion of one of the solids like cuboid, cube, right circular cylinder, right circular cone and sphere in another.


In our day-to-day life we come across various solids which are combinations of two or more such solids. For example, a conical circus tent with cylindrical base is a combination of a right circular cylinder and a right circular cone, also an ice-cream cone is a combination of a cone and a hemi-sphere. We shall discuss problems on finding surface areas and volumes of such solids. We also come across solids which are a part of a cone. For example, a bucket,a glass tumbler, a friction clutch etc. These solids are known as frustums of a cone. In the end of the chapter, we shall discuss problems on surface area and volume of frustum of a cone.


UNITS OF MEASUREMENT OF AREA AND VOLUME
The inter-relationships between various units of measurement of length, area and volume are listed below for ready reference:

LENGTH
1 Centimetre (cm) = 10 milimetre (mm)
1 Decimetre (dm) = 10 centimetre
1 Metre(m) = 10 dm = 100 cm = 1000mm
1 Decametre (dam)= 10 m = 1000 cm
1 Hectometre (hm) = 10 dam = 100 m
1 Kilometre (km) = 1000 m = 100 dam = 10 hm
1 Myriametre = 10 kilometre
 

AREA

1 cm2 = 1 cm × 1 cm = 10 mm × 10 mm = 100 mm2
1 dm2 =1 dm × 1 dm =10 cm × 10 cm =100 cm2
1 m2 = 1 m × 1 m =10 dm × 10 dm =100 dm2
1 dam2 =1 dam × 1 dam = 10 m × 10 m = 100 m2
1 hm2 = 1 hectare = 1 hm × 1 hm = 100 m × 100 m = 10000 m2 = 100 dm2
1 km2 = 1 km × 1 km = 10 hm × 10 hm = 100 hm2 or 100 hectare

 

VOLUME
1 cm3 = 1 ml = 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm = 10 mm × 10 mm × 10 mm = 1000 mm3
1 litre = 1000 ml = 1000 cm3
1 m3 = 1 m × 1 m × 1 m = 100 cm × 100 cm × 100 cm = 106 cm3 = 1000 litre = 1 kilolitre
1 dm3 = 1000 cm3
1 m3 = 1000 dm3
1 km3 = 109 m3

 

CUBOID
A rectangular solid bounded by six rectangular plane faces is called a cuboid. A match box, a teapacket, a brick, a book, etc., are all examples of a cuboid.

A cuboid has 6 rectangular faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices.

Mathematics, Class X, Questions and Answers, Q and A, Important, CBSE, NCERT, Board Exam, Preparation

The following are some definitions of terms related to a cuboid:

(i) The space enclosed by a cuboid is called its volume.

(ii) The line joining opposite corners of a cuboid is called its diagonal.
A cuboid has four diagonals.
A diagonal of a cuboid is the length of the longest rod that can be placed in the cuboid.
 

(iii) The sum of areas of all the six faces of a cuboid is known as its total surface area.

(iv) The four faces which meet the base of a cuboid are called the lateral faces of the cuboid.

(v) The sum of areas of the four walls of a cuboid is called its lateral surface area.

 

Formulae
For a cuboid of length = Mathematics, Class X, Questions and Answers, Q and A, Important, CBSE, NCERT, Board Exam, Preparation units, breadth = b units and height = h units, we have :

REMARK : For the calculation of surface area, volume etc. of a cuboid, the length, breadth and
height must be expressed in the same units.

 

CUBE
A cuboid whose length, breadth and height are all equal is called a cube .

CROSS SECTION

A cut which is made through a solid perpendicular to its length is called its cross section. If the cut has the same shape and size at every point of its length, then it is called uniform cross-section.

Volume of a solid with uniform cross section = (Area of its cross section) × (length).

Lateral Surface Area of a solid with uniform cross section = (Perimeter of cross section) × (length).

 

Ex.1 The length, breadth and height of a rectangular solid are in the ratio 6 : 5 : 4. If the total
surface area is 5328 cm2, find the length, breadth and height of the solid.

Sol. Let length = (6x) cm, breadth = (5x) cm and height = (4x) cm.
Then, total surface area = [2(6x × 5x + 5x × 4x + 4x × 6x)] cm2 = [2(30x2 + 20x2 + 24x2)] cm2
= (148x2) cm2.

Mathematics, Class X, Questions and Answers, Q and A, Important, CBSE, NCERT, Board Exam, Preparation

Hence, length = 36 cm, breadth = 30 cm, height = 24 cm.

 

Ex.2 An open rectangular cistern is made of iron 2·5 cm thick. When measured from outside, it is
1 m 25 cm long, 1 m 5 cm broad and 90 cm deep.

Find:

(i) the capacity of the cistern in litres;
(ii) the volume of iron used;
(iii) the total surface area of the cistern.

Sol. External dimensions of the cistern are :
Length = 125 cm, Breadth = 105 cm and Depth = 90 cm.
Internal dimensions of the cistern are :
Length = 120 cm, Breadth = 100 cm and Depth = 87·5 cm.
(i) Capacity = Internal volume = (120 × 100 × 87.5) cm3Mathematics, Class X, Questions and Answers, Q and A, Important, CBSE, NCERT, Board Exam, Preparation litres = 1050 litres.
The vertex of a right circular cone is farthest from its base.

(ii) Volume of iron = (External volume) – (Internal volume) = [(125 × 105 × 90) – (120 × 100 × 87·5)] cm3
= (1181250 – 1050000) cm3 = 131250 cm3.

(iii) External area = (Area of 4 faces) + (Area of the base) = ([2(125 + 105) × 90] + (125 × 105)} cm2
= (41400 + 13125) cm2 = 54525 cm2.

Internal area = ([2(120 + 100) × 87·5] + (120 × 100)} cm2 = (38500 + 12000) cm2 = 50500 cm2.
Area at the top = Area between outer and inner rectangles = [(125 × 105) – (120 × 100)] cm2
= (13125 - 12000) cm2 = 1125 cm2.
Mathematics, Class X, Questions and Answers, Q and A, Important, CBSE, NCERT, Board Exam, PreparationTotal surface area = (54525 + 50500 + 1125) cm2 = 106150 cm2.

 

Ex.3.A field is 80 m long and 50 m broad. In one corner of the field, a pit which is 10 m long, 7.5 m broad and 8 m deep has been dug out. The earth taken out of it is evenly spread over the remaining part of the field. Find the rise in the level of the field.

Sol. Mathematics, Class X, Questions and Answers, Q and A, Important, CBSE, NCERT, Board Exam, Preparation

Area of the field = (80 × 50) m2 = 4000 m2
Area of the pit = (10 × 7.5) m2 = 75 m2
Area over which the earth is spread out = (4000 – 75) m2 = 3925 m2
Volume of earth dug out = (10 × 7.5 × 8) m3 = 600 m3.

RIGHT CIRCULAR CYLINDER
Solids like circular pillars, circular pipes, circular pencils, measuring jars, road rollers and gas cylinders, etc., are said to be in cylindrical shape.

Mathematics, Class X, Questions and Answers, Q and A, Important, CBSE, NCERT, Board Exam, Preparation
In mathematical terms, a right circular cylinder is a solid generated by the revolution of a rectangle about its sides.

Let the rectangle ABCD revolve about its side AB, so as to describe a right circular cylinder as shown in the figure.
You must have observed that the cross-sections of a right circular cylinder are circles congruent and parallel to
each other.
 

Cylinders Not Right Circular
There are two cases when the cylinder is not a right circular cylinder.

Case-I : In the following figure, we see a cylinder, which is certainly circular, but is not at right angles to the
base. So we cannot say it is a right circular cylinder.

Mathematics, Class X, Questions and Answers, Q and A, Important, CBSE, NCERT, Board Exam, Preparation

Case-II : In the following figure, we see a cylinder with a non-circular base as the base is not circular. So we
cannot call it a right circular cylinder.

Mathematics, Class X, Questions and Answers, Q and A, Important, CBSE, NCERT, Board Exam, Preparation

 

REMARK : Unless stated otherwise, here in this chapter the word cylinder would mean a right circular cylinder.
The following are definitions of some terms related to a right circular cylinder :

(i) The radius of any circular end is called the radius of the right circular cylinder.
Thus, in the above figure, AD as well as BC is a radius of the cylinder.

(ii) The line joining the centres of circular ends of the cylinder, is called the axis of the right circular cylinder.
In the above figure, the line AB is the axis of the cylinder. Clearly, the axis is perpendicular to the circular ends.

 

REMARK : If the line joining the centres of circular ends of a cylinder is not perpendicular to
the circular ends, then the cylinder is not a right circular cylinder.

(iii) The length of the axis of the cylinder is called the height or length of the cylinder.

(iv) The curved surface joining the two bases of a right circular cylinder is called its lateral surface.

 

Formulae
For a right circular cylinder of radius = r units & height = h units, we have :
