One square metre is the area enclosed inside a square of side 1 metre.
Problem 1.1: What is the area of a 10 square each of side of 1 m.
Solution: Area of a square = side x side
= 1 m x 1 m = 1m2 or 1 square metre
Area of 10 squares = 1 square metre x 10 = 10 square metre
(Even though the area is given in square metre, the surfaces need not to be square in shape)
Problem 1.2: Find the area of the following regular shaped figures: (Take π = 22/7). (a) A rectangle whose length is 12 m and breadth is 4 m. (b) A circle whose radius is 7 m. (c) A triangle whose base is 6 m and height is 8 m.
Solution: (a) Area of rectangle = length x breadth = 12 x 4 = 48 m2
(b) Area of circle = π x r2 = (22/7) x 7 x 7 = 154 m2
(c) Area of triangle = (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 6 x 8 = 24 m2
Problem 1.3: Find the volume of (Take π = 22/7). (i) a cube whose side is 3 cm. (ii) a cylinder whose radius is 3 m and height is 7 m.
Solution: (a) Volume of a cube = side x side x side = 3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm = 27 cubic cm or cm3.
(b) Volume of a cylinder = π x r2 x height = (22/7) x 3 x 3 x 7 = 198 m3.
To measure the volume of liquids, some other units are also used, some of them are gallon ounce and quart.
1 gallon = 3785 ml
1 ounce = 30 ml
1 quart = 1 litre
Problem 1.4: A solid cylinder of mass 280 kg has a volume of 4 cm3. Find the density of cylinder.
Solution: Density of cylinder = mass of cylinder/volume of cylinder = 280/4 = 70 kg/m3
Problem 1.5: A box is made up of iron and it has a volume of 125 cm3. Find its mass. (Density of iron is 7.8 g/cm3).
Solution: Density = Mass/Volume
Hence, Mass = Volume x Density = 125 x 7.8 = 975 g.
Problem 1.6: A sphere is made from copper whose mass is 3000 kg. If the density of copper is 8900 kg/m3, find the volume of the sphere.
Solution: Density = Mass/Volume
Hence, Volume = Mass/Density = 3000/8900 = 30/89 = 0.34 m3.
Water has more density than oils like cooking oil and castor oil, although this oil appears to be denser than water. Density of castor oil is 961 kg/m3. If we put one drop of water in oil, water drop sinks. But, if we put one drop of oil in water, oil floats and forms a layer on water surface. However, some oils are denser than water.
