## Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Mensuration Ex 7.4

Question 1.
The semi-perimeter of a triangle having sides 15 cm, 20 cm and 25 cm is ……..
(a) 60 cm
(b) 45 cm
(c) 30 cm
(d) 15 cm
Solution:
(c) 30 cm
Hint:
l = 15 cm, b = 20 cm, h = 25 cm
Semi-perimeter = $$\frac{a+b+c}{2}$$
= $$\frac{15+20+25}{2}$$
= 30 cm

Question 2.
If the sides of a triangle are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm, then the area is ………
(a) 3 cm²
(b) 6 cm²
(c) 9 cm²
(d) 12 cm²
Solution:
(b) 6 cm²
Hint:
a- 3 cm, b = 4 cm, c = 5 cm
s = $$\frac{a+b+c}{2}$$
= $$\frac{3+4+5}{2}$$
= 6 cm
Area of the triangle = $$\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$$
= $$\sqrt{6×3×2×1}$$
= $$\sqrt{36}$$
= 6 cm²

Question 3.
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 30 cm. The area is ……..
(a) 10 √3 cm²
(b) 12 √3 cm²
(c) 15 √3 cm²
(d) 25 √3 cm²
Solution:
(d) 25 √3 cm²
Hint:
Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 30 cm
3a = 30 cm
a = $$\frac{30}{3}$$
= 10 cm
Area of an equilateral triangle = $$\frac{√3}{4}$$ a² sq.units
= $$\frac{√3}{4}$$ × 10 × 10
= 25 √3 cm²

Question 4.
The lateral surface area of a cube of side 12 cm is ……..
(a) 144 cm²
(b) 196 cm²
(c) 576 cm²
(d) 664 cm²
Solution:
(c) 576 cm²
Hint:
Side of a cube (a) = 12 cm
L.S.A. of a cube = 4a² sq.units
= 4 × 12 × 12 cm²
= 576 cm²

Question 5.
If the lateral surface area of a cube is 600 cm², then the total surface area is ………
(a) 150 cm²
(b) 400 cm²
(c) 900 cm²
(d) 1350 cm²
Solution:
(c) 900 cm²
Hint:
L.S.A. of a cube = 600 cm²
4a² = 600
a² = $$\frac{600}{4}$$
= 150
Total surface area of a cube = 6a² sq.units
= 6 × 150 cm²
= 900 cm²

Question 6.
The total surface area of a cuboid with dimension 10 cm × 6 cm × 5 cm is ………
(a) 280 cm²
(b) 300 cm²
(c) 360 cm²
(d) 600 cm²
Solution:
(a) 280 cm²
Hint:
T.S.A. of a cuboid = 2(lb + bh + lh) sq.units
= 2(10 × 6 + 6 × 5 + 10 × 5) cm²
= 2(60 + 30 + 50) cm²
= 2 × 140 cm²
= 280 cm²

Question 7.
If the ratio of the sides of two cubes are 2 : 3, then ratio of their surface areas will be ………
(a) 4 : 6
(b) 4 : 9
(c) 6 : 9
(d) 16 : 36
Solution:
(b) 4 : 9
Hint:
Ratio of the surface area of cubes = 4a12 : 4a22
= a12 : a22
= 4² : 9²
= 4 : 9

Question 8.
The volume of a cuboid is 660 cm and the area of the base is 33 cm². Its height is ………
(a) 10 cm
(b) 12 cm
(c) 20 cm
(d) 22 cm
Solution:
(c) 20 cm
Hint:
Volume of a cuboid = 660 cm³
l × b × h = 660
33 × h = 660 (Area of the base = l × b)
h = $$\frac{660}{33}$$
= 20 cm

Question 9.
The capacity of a water tank of dimensions 10 m × 5 m × 1.5 m is ………
(a) 75 litres
(b) 750 litres
(c) 7500 litres
(d) 75000 litres
Solution:
(d) 75000 litres
Hint:
The capacity of a tank = l × b × h cu.units
= (10 × 5 × 1.5) m³
= 75 m³
= 75 × 1000 litres [1m³ = 1000 lit]
= 75000 litres

Question 10.
The number of bricks each measuring 50 cm × 30 cm × 20 cm that will be required to build a wall whose dimensions are 5 m x 3 m x 2 m is ………
Solution:
(a) 1000
(b) 2000
(c) 3000
(d) 5000
Solution:
(a) 1000
Hint:
Volume of one brick = 50 × 30 × 20 cm³
Volume of the wall = l × b × h
[l = 5m = 500 cm]
[b = 3m = 300 cm]
[h = 2m = 200 cm]
= 500 × 300 × 200 cm³
No. of bricks

= 10 × 10 × 10
= 1000 bricks
