i. Radius of the circle (r) = 28 cm … [Given]
Area of the circle = πr²
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x (28)²
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 28 x 28
= 22 x 4 x 28
= 2464 sq. cm

ii. Radius of the circle (r) = 10.5 cm … [Given]
Area of the circle = πr²
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x (10.5)²
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 10.5 x 10.5
= 22 x 1.5 x 10.5
= 346.5 sq. cm

iii. Radius of the circle (r) = 17.5 cm … [Given]
Area of the circle = πr²
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x(17.5)²

Question 2.
Areas of some circles are given below, find their diameters.
i. 176 sq.cm
ii. 394.24 sq. cm
iii. 12474 sq. cm
Solution:
i. Area of the circle =176 sq. cm .. .[Given]
Area of the circle = πr²
∴ 176 = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x r²
∴ r² = 176 x \(\frac { 7 }{ 22 }\)
∴ r² = 56
∴ r = √56 … [Taking square root of both sides]
Diameter = 2r = 2√56 CM

ii. Area of the circle = 394.24 sq. cm … [Given]
Area of the circle = πr²
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Area Practice Set 15.6 1
∴ Diameter = 2r = 2 x 11.2 = 22.4 cm

iii. Area of the circle = 12474 sq. cm …[Given]
Area of the circle = πr²
∴ 12474 = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x r²

Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Area Practice Set 15.6 3
Diameter of the circular garden is 42 m. … [Given]
∴ Radius of the circular garden (r) = \(\frac { 42 }{ 2 }\) = 21 m
Width of the road = 3.5 m …[Given]
Radius of the outer circle (R)
= radius (r) + width of the road
= 21 + 3.5
= 24.5 m
Area of the road = area of outer circle – area of circular garden
= πR² – πr²
= π (R² – r²)
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) [(24.5)² – (21)²]
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) (24.5 + 21) (24.5 – 21)
…..[∵ a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)]
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 45.5 x 3.5
= 22 x 45.5 x 0.5
= 500.50 sq. m
∴ The area of the road is 500.50 sq. m.

Question 4.
Find the area of the circle if its circumference is 88 cm.
Solution:
Circumference of the circle = 88 cm …[Given]
Circumference of the circle = 2πr
∴ 88 = 2 x \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x r
∴ \(r=\frac{88 \times 7}{2 \times 22}\) ∴ r = 14cm
Area of the circle = πr² = \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x (14)²
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) x 14 x 14 = 22 x 2 x 14 = 616 sq. cm

Std 8 Maths Practice Set 15.5 Chapter 15 Solutions Answers

Question 1.
Find the areas of given plots. (All measures are in meters.)
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Area Practice Set 15.5 1
Solution:
i. Here, ∆QAP, ∆RCS are right angled triangles and ☐QACR is a trapezium.
In ∆QAP, l(AP) = 30 m, l(QA) = 50 m
A(∆QAP)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x product of sides forming the right angle
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(AP) x l(QA)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 30 x 50
= 750 sq. m
In ☐QACR, l(QA) = 50 m, l(RC) = 25 m,
l(AC) = l(AB) + l(BC)
= 30 + 30 = 60 m
A(☐QACR)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [l(QA) + l(RC)] x l(AC)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (50 + 25) x 60
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 75 x 60
= 2250 sq.m
In ∆RCS, l(CS) = 60 m, l(RC) = 25 m A(∆RCS)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x product of sides forming the right angle
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(CS) x l(RC)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 60 x 25
= 750 sq. m
In ∆PTS, l(TB) = 30 m,
l(PS) = l(PA) + l(AB) + l(BC) + l(CS)
= 30 + 30 + 30 + 60
= 150m
A(∆PTS) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x base x height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(PS) x l(TB)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 150 x 30
= 2250 sq. m
∴ Area of plot QPTSR = A(∆QAP) + A(☐QACR) + A(∆RCS) + A(∆PTS)
= 750 + 2250 + 750 + 2250
= 6000 sq. m
∴ The area of the given plot is 6000 sq.m.

ii. In ∆ABE, m∠BAE = 90°, l(AB) = 24 m, l(BE) = 30 m
∴ [l(BE)]² = [l(AB)]² + [l(AE)]²
…[Pythagoras theorem]
∴ (30)² = (24)² + [l(AE)]²
∴ 900 = 576 + [l(AE)]²
∴ [l(AE)]² = 900 – 576
∴ [l(AE)]² = 324
∴ l(AE) = √324 = 18 m
…[Taking square root of both sides]
A(∆ABE)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x product of sides forming the right angle
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(AE) x l(AB)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 18 x 24
= 216 sq. m
In ∆BCE, a = 30m, b = 28m, c = 26m
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Area Practice Set 15.5 2
∴ Area of plot ABCDE
= A(∆ABE) + A(∆BCE) + A(∆EDC)
= 216 + 336 + 224
= 776 sq. m
∴ The area of the given plot is 776 sq.m.
[Note: In the given figure, we have taken l(DF) = 16 m]

In ∆PSR, l(PS) = 36 m, l(SR) = 15 m
A(∆PSR)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x product of sides forming the right angle
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(SR) x l(PS)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 15 x 36
= 270 sq.m
In ∆PSR, m∠PSR = 90°
[l(PR)]² = [l(PS)]² + [l(SR)]²
…[Pythagoras theorem]
= (36)² + (15)²
= 1296 + 225
∴ l(PR)² = 1521
∴ l(PR) = 39m
…[Taking square root of both sides]
In ∆PQR, a = 56m, b = 25m, c = 39m
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Area Practice Set 15.4 3
A(☐PQRS) = A(∆PSR) + A(∆PQR)
= 270 + 420
= 690 sq. m
∴ The area of ☐PQRS is 690 sq.m

Question 3.
Some measures are given in the figure, find the area of ☐ABCD.
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Area Practice Set 15.4 4
Solution:
A(☐ABCD) = A(∆BAD) + A(∆BDC)
In ∆BAD, m∠BAD = 90°, l(AB) = 40m, l(AD) = 9m
A(∆BAD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x product of sides forming the right angle
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(AB) x l(AD)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 40 x 9
= 180 sq. m
In ∆BDC, l(BT) = 13m, l(CD) = 60m
A(∆BDC) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x base x height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x l(CD) x l(BT)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 60 x 13
= 390 sq. m
A (☐ABCD) = A(∆BAD) + A(∆BDC)
= 180 + 390
= 570 sq. m
∴ The area of ☐ABCD is 570 sq.m.

Std 8 Maths Practice Set 15.3 Chapter 15 Solutions Answers

Question 1.
In the given figure, ☐ABCD is a trapezium, side AB || side DC, l(AB) = 13 cm, l(DC) = 9 cm, l(AD) = 8 cm, find the area ☐ABCD.
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Area Practice Set 15.3 1
Solution:
☐ABCD is a trapezium, side AB || side DC,
l(AB) = 13 cm, l(DC) = 9 cm, l(AD) = 8 cm,
Area of a trapezium = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height
∴ A (☐ABCD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [l(AB) + l(DC)] x l(AD)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (13 + 9) x 8
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 22 x 8
= 11 x 8
= 88 sq.cm
∴ The area of ☐ABCD is 88 sq. cm.
[Note: The question is modified.]

Question 2.
Length of the two parallel sides of a trapezium are 8.5 cm and 11.5 cm respectively and its height is 4.2 cm, find its area.
Solution:
Length of the two parallel sides of a trapezium are 8.5 cm and 11.5 cm and its height is 4.2 cm.
Area of a trapezium
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (8.5 + 11.5) x 4.2
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 20 x 4.2
= 10 x 4.2
= 42 sq. cm
∴ The area of the trapezium is 42 sq. cm.

Question 3.
☐PQRS is an isosceles trapezium. l(PQ) = 7 cm, seg PM ⊥ seg SR, l(SM) = 3 cm. Distance between two parallel sides is 4 cm, find the area of ☐PQRS.
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Area Practice Set 15.3 2
Solution:
☐PQRS is an isosceles trapezium.
l(PQ) = 7 cm, seg PM ⊥ seg SR,
l(SM) = 3 cm, l(PM) = 4cm
Draw seg QN ⊥ seg SR.
In ☐PMNQ,
seg PQ || seg MN
∠PMN = ∠QNM = 90°
∴ ☐PMNQ is a rectangle.
Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Area Practice Set 15.3 3
Opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent.
∴ l(PM) = l(QN) = 4 cm and
l(PQ) = l(MN) = 7 cm
In ∆PMS, m∠PMS = 90°
∴ [l(PS)]² = [l(PM)]² + [l(SM)]² … [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ [l(PS)]² = (4)² + (3)²
∴ [l(PS)]² = 16 + 9 = 25
∴ l(PS) = √25 = 5 cm
…[Taking square root of both sides]
☐PQRS is an isosceles trapezium.
∴ l(PS) = l(QR) = 5 cm
In ∆QNR, m ∠QNR = 90°
∴ [l(QR)]² = [l(QN)]² + [l(NR)]²
… [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ (5)² = (4)² + [l(NR)]²
∴ 25 = 16 + [l(NR)]²
∴ [l(NR)]² = 25 – 16 = 9
∴ l(NR) = √9 = 3 cm
…[Taking square root of both sides]
l(SR) = l(SM) + l(MN) + l(NR)
= 3 + 7 + 3
= 13 cm
Area of a trapezium
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height
∴ A(☐PQRS) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [l(PQ) + l(SR)] x l(PM)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x (7+ 13) x 4
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 20 x 4
= 40 sq.cm
∴ The area of ☐PQRS is 40 sq. cm.
