Question 1.
Nazma’s sister also has a trapezium shaped plot. Divide it into three parts as shown (Fig.). Show that the area of , (a + b) trapezium WXYZ = h \(\frac{a+b}{2}\).
AP 8th Class Maths 11th Chapter Mensuration InText Questions 4
Solution:
Shape of the PLOT is trapezium ‘WXYZ’
AP 8th Class Maths 11th Chapter Mensuration InText Questions 5
Let y1, z’ are two points on WX.
Such that Zz’, Yy’ are two perpendiculars then Yz = y’z’ = b ; let Wz’ = c, Xy’ = d ; Zz’ = Yy’ = h
then area of trapezium
= area of ∆Wz’Z + area of rectangle ZYy’z’ + area of ∆Yy’x
formula for area of triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × b × h
then area of ∆Wz’Z = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × Wz’ × Zz’
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × c × h = \(\frac{ch}{2}\) …………..(1)
area of ∆Yy’X = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (Yy’) × (Xy’)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) dh = \(\frac{dh}{2}\) …………….(2)
Formula for area of retangle
= length × breadth
∴ area of y’z’ZY = y’z’ x Zz’ = b × h ………….. (3)
∴ area of trapezium = (1) + (2) + (3)
= \(\frac{ch}{2}\) + \(\frac{dh}{2}\) +bh = 2(c + d) + bh
We can write it as = \(\frac{h}{2}\) (c + d) + \(\frac{2bh}{2}\)
⇒ \(\frac{h}{2}\) (c + d + b + d) ⇒ \(\frac{h}{2}\) (a + b)
(∵ b + c + d = a from figure)
Area of trapezium = \(\frac{h}{2}\) (a + b)

Question 2.
If h = 10 cm, c = 6 cm, b = 12 cm. d = 4 cm, find the values of each of its parts separetely 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:
Given h = 10 cm; c = 6 cm, b = 12 cm, d = 4 cm
∴ area of ∆Wz’Z = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × c × h = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 6 × 10 = 30 cm² ………….(1)

∴ area of ∆XYy’ = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × d × h = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 4 × 10 = 20 cm² …………..(2)
area of z’y’YZ = b × h = 12 × 10= 120 cm² …………. (3)
Total area of Trapezium = (1) + (2) + (3) = 30 + 20 + 120 = 170 cm² ………. (4)
Verification from formula,
Putting these values in formula \(\frac{h}{2}\) (a + b)
where h = 10 ; .
a = b + c + d = 12 + 6 + 4 = 22; b = 12 cm
then area = \(\frac{10}{2}\) (22 + 12) = 5(34) = 170 cm² ……………(5)
(4) = (5) Hence verified.

Question 4.
The area of this triangle and the area of the trapezium WXYZ are same (How?). Get the expression for the area of trapezium by using the expression for the area of triangle.
Answer:
Yes, area of trapezium WXYZ = \(\frac{h}{2}\) (WX + ZY) and
area of larger ∆ = \(\frac{h}{2}\) (WX + ZY)
Thus area of trapezium
= (\(\frac{1}{2}\) × a × h) + (\(\frac{1}{2}\) × b × h)

A parallelogram is divided into two con-gruent triangles by drawing a diagonal across it. Can we divide a trapezium into two congruent triangles ?
Answer:
We can divide a parallelogram into two congruent triangles by drawing a diagonal.
Because the opposite sides are parallel and equal but in the case of trapezium, the opposite sides are not equal then AB ≠ CD.
But height is same for the both AABD and ABCD, then areas
\(\frac{1}{2}\) × AB × h = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × CD × h (∵ AB ≠ CD)
So they are not congruent.
So we cannot divide a trapezium into two congruent triangles.

Find the area of these quadrilaterals
(Fig).
i)

Solution:
In quadrilateral ABCD
diagonal AC = d = 6 cm
heights h1 = 3 cm, h2 = 5 cm
∴ area of quadrilateral ABCD = \(\frac{1}{2}\) d(h1 + h2)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 6 × (3 + 5) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 6 × 8 = 24 cm²

ii)
AP 8th Class Maths 11th Chapter Mensuration InText Questions 17
Solution:
In the given quadrilateral all sides are equal (4 cm each) and two diagonals are different.
So it is Rhombus.
∴ Area of Rhombus = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × d1 × d2
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 7 × 6 = 21 cm²

iii)
AP 8th Class Maths 11th Chapter Mensuration InText Questions 18
Solution:
In the given quadrilateral, opposite sides are equal (5 cm, 4 cm). So it is aparaller logram.
In a parallelogram a diagonal divides it into two congruent triangles.
So area of first triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) bh
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)× 8 × 2 = 8 cm²
then area of second triangle = 8 cm²
∴ area of quadrilateral = 8 + 8 = 16 cm²

Find the total surface area of the following cuboids (Fig):
AP 8th Class Maths 11th Chapter Mensuration InText Questions 23
Solution:
Here (l) = 6 cm, b = 4 cm, h = 2 cm
formula for total surface area of a cuboid = 2(lb + bh + lh) now putting values in it
We get T.S.A = 2[(6 × 4) + (4 × 2) + (2 × 6)]
= 2[24 + 8 + 12] = 2{44]
= 88 sq.cm.
AP 8th Class Maths 11th Chapter Mensuration InText Questions 24
In this cuboid
length = 4 cm ; b = 4 cm, h = 10 cm

Question 1.
Can we say that the total surface area of cuboid = lateral surface area + 2 × area of base ?
Answer:
Yes, we can
∵ Lateral Surface Area = 2h(l + b) = 2lh + 2bh
2 × area of base = 2 lb
∴ Lateral Surface Area + 2 • area of base
2lh + 2bh + 2lb = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= total surface area.

Question 2.
If we interchange the lengths of the base and the height of a cuboid (Fig(i)) to get another cuboid (Fig (ii)), will its lateral surface area change
AP 8th Class Maths 11th Chapter Mensuration InText Questions 25
Answer:
No. If we change ‘l’ and ‘b’ vice-versa, then the lateral surface area wont change.
But, If we change
l → b, b → h and h → l then the lateral surface area changes, but volume won’t change.

Two cubes each with side b are joined to form a cuboid (Fig). What is the surface area of this cuboid ? Is it 12b2? Is the surface area of cuboid formed by joining three such cubes, 18b2? Why ?
AP 8th Class Maths 11th Chapter Mensuration InText Questions 29
Solution:
Two cubes each with side “b” are joined to form a cuboid.
then lengh (l) = 2b, breadth (b) = b; height (h) = b
then surface area = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(2b.b + b.b + 2b.b)
= 2(2b2 + b2 + 2b2)
= 2(5b2) = 10b2
but not 12b2.

• If three such cubes joined, then l = 3b, b = b, h = b
then surface area = 2(3b.b + b.b + 3b.b)
= 2(3b2 + b2 + 3b2)
= 2 (7b2) = 14b2
but not 18b2

ii) How will you arrange 12 cubes of equal length to form a cuboid of smallest surface area ?

How many have no face painted ? 1 face painted ? 2 faces painted ? 3 faces painted ?
Solution:
The cube is cut into 64 smaller cubes. So the first cube would be 4 × 4 × 4.
How many have no face painted ? = 8
Formula = (n – 2)3 = (4 – 2)3 = 23 = 8
How many cubes have 1 face painted = 6(n – 2)2 = 6(4 – 2)2 = 6 × 4 = 24
How many cubes have 2 face painted = 12(n – 2) = 12(4 – 2) = 12 × 2 = 24
How many cubes have 3 face painted = 64 – (8 + 24 + 24) = 8

• Cylinders :
Formula for curved (lateral) surface area of a cylinder (CSA) = 2πrh.
