    Refer to page 14-19 for Exercise 11.3 in the PDF

    1. There are two cuboidal boxes as shown in the adjoining figure. Which
    box requires the lesser amount of material to make.

    Ans: When it is asked about the material required to make any object, we
    calculate the total surface area of the object. The formula of total surface area
    of the cuboid of length l , breadth b , and height h , is T = 2 ( lb + bh + hl ) .

    Let the box with dimensions 60 cm, 40 cm, and 50 cm be the box 1. Let the
    total surface area of box (a) be T1 .

     T1 = 2 ( 60  40 + 40  50 + 50  60 )
     T1 = 2 ( 2400 + 2000 + 3000 )
     T1 = 2  7400
     T1 = 14800 cm 2

    Let the box with dimensions 50 cm, 50 cm, and 50 cm be the box 2. Let the
    total surface area of box (b) be T2 . Observe that this cuboid has sides of equal
    length, thus, we can say it is a cube. Then, T2 = 6 ( side ) .
    2

    Hence, T1  T2 . So, the cuboidal box will require a lesser amount of material
    because its surface area is lesser than the surface of the cube.

    Class VIII Maths www.vedantu.com 1


     T2 = 6  ( 50 )
    2

     T2 = 6  2500
     T2 = 15000 cm 2

    2. A suitcase with measures 80cm  48cm  24cm is to be covered with a


    tarpaulin cloth. How many metres of tarpaulin of 96 cm is required to
    cover 100 such suitcases?
    Ans: The suitcase has a cuboidal shape. The formula of total surface area of
    the cuboid of length l , breadth b , and height h , is T = 2 ( lb + bh + hl ) .

    Let the total surface area of the suitcase be T .


     T1 = 2 ( 80  48 + 48  24 + 24  80 )
     T1 = 2 ( 3840 + 1152 + 1920 )
     T1 = 2  6912
     T1 = 13824 cm 2

    The total area of 100 suitcases will be,


     100  T1 = 100 13824
     100  T1 = 1382400 cm 2

    The tarpaulin will be rectangular in shape. Equate the area of tarpaulin with the
    total surface area of 100 suitcase to get the length of tarpaulin required.
    Let the length of the tarpaulin be l .
     required tarpaulin = length  breadth
     1382400 = l  96
    On dividing both sides by 96, we get,
    1382400
     =l
    96
     14400 = l
    The required length of the tarpaulin is 14400 cm.
    Convert 14400 cm into meters. To convert 14400 cm into meters, divide by
    100.
    14400
     = 144 m
    100

    Hence, 144 meters of tarpaulin is required to cover 100 suitcases.

    3. Find the side of a cube whose surface area is 600 square centimeter.
    Ans: The surface area of the cube is T = 6a2 .
    For the given question, T is 600.
     600 = 6a2

    Divide both sides by 6 and take the square root.


    600
     = a2
    6
     100 = a 2
     100 = a 2
     10 = a
    Since the length cannot be negative, then, only the positive value will be
    considered. Thus, a = 10 .
    The side of the square is 10 cm.

    4. Rukhshar painted the outside of the cabinet of measure 1m  2m 1.5m .


    How much surface area did she cover if she painted all except the
    bottom of the cabinet?

    Ans: The length, l of the cabinet is 2 m. The breadth, b of the cabinet is 1 m.


    The height, h of the cabinet is 1.5 m.
    The area of the cabinet that is to be painted will be the lateral surface area
    added to the area of the top.
    Thus, A = 2  h  ( l + b ) + l  b .

    Substitute l as 2, b as 2 m, h as 1.5 and simplify.

    Class VIII Maths www.vedantu.com 3


     A = 2 1.5  ( 2 + 1) + 2  1
     A = 2 1.5  ( 3) + 2
     A= 9+2
     A = 11m 2

    Therefore, the total area to be painted is 11 square meter.

    5. Daniel is painting the walls and ceiling of a cuboidal hall with length,
    breadth, and height of 15 m, 10 m, and 7 m respectively. From each
    can of paint 100 m2 of area is painted. How many cans of paint will she
    need to paint the room?
    Ans: The length, l of the wall is 15 m. The breadth, b of the cabinet is 10 m.
    The height, h of the cabinet is 7 m.
    The area of the hall will be the sum of the area of the wall and area of the
    ceiling.
    Thus, A = 2  h  ( l + b ) + l  b .

     A = 2  7  (15 + 10 ) + 15 10
     A = 14  ( 25 ) + 150
     A = 350 + 150
     A = 500 m 2

    The surface area that is needed to be painted from each can is 100 m2 .
    Let the number required to paint 500 m2 be n .
    total area to be painted
    n=
    area needs to be painted of each can
    500
    n=
    100
    n=5
    Hence, to paint the walls and to paint the ceiling of the cuboidal hall, 5 cans are
    required.

    6. Describe how the two figures below are alike and how they are
    different. Which box has larger lateral surface area?

    Class VIII Maths www.vedantu.com 4


    Ans: The given figures have the same height.
    The two figures have a difference which is that one figure is a cylinder and the
    other figure is a cube.
    The formula of lateral surface area of the cube is A = 4a2 . For the given cube, a
    is 7 cm.

     Acube = 4  ( 7 )
    2

     Acube = 4  49
     Acube = 196 cm 2

    The formula of lateral surface area of the cylinder is A = 2 rh . Substitute h as


    7, r as 7 in the formula.
    22 7
     Acylinder = 2   7
    7 2
     Acylinder = 2 11 7
     Acylinder = 154 cm 2

    Hence, Acylinder  Acube .

    Therefore, the cube has a larger lateral surface area.

    7. A closed cylindrical tank of radius 7 m and height 3 m is made from a


    sheet of metal. How much sheet of metal is required?
    Ans: The formula of total surface area of the cylinder is T = 2 r ( r + h ) .
    22
    Substitute r as 7, and h as 3 in the formula. Take  = .
    7

    Class VIII Maths www.vedantu.com 5


    22
     T = 2  7 ( 7 + 3)
    7
    22
     T = 2   7  10
    7
     T = 2  22 10
     T = 440 m 2

    Hence, 440m2 of sheet of metal is required to make the cylindrical tank.

    8. The lateral surface area of the hollow cylinder is 4224 square


    centimeter. It is cut along its height and formed a rectangular sheet of
    width 33 cm. Find the perimeter of the rectangular sheet.
    Ans: A hollow cylinder is cut along its height to form a rectangular sheet
    whose width is 33 cm. The area of the cylinder will be equal to the area of the
    rectangular sheet. Assume the length of the sheet is l .
     4224 = 33 l

    Divide both sides by 33.


    4224
     =l
    33
     128cm = l

    The rectangular sheet has a length of 128 cm.


    The perimeter of the rectangular sheet will be 2 ( l + b ) .

    Substitute l as 128, and b as 33.


     perimeter = 2 (128 + 33)
     perimeter = 2 (161)
     perimeter = 322cm

    Hence, the perimeter of the sheet is 322 cm.

    9. A road roller takes 750 complete revolutions to move once over to level
    a road. Find the area of the road if the diameter of a road roller is 84
    cm and length is 1 m.

    Class VIII Maths www.vedantu.com 6


    Ans: The distance covered by the roller in 1 revolution will be equal to its
    lateral surface area. The formula of lateral surface area of the cylinder is
    A = 2 rh .
    84
    The diameter is 84 cm. The radius will be = 42cm .
    2

    The SI units of the road roller are different. Convert 42 cm into meters.
    42
     42cm = m
    100

    Let the area covered by the road roller in 1 revolution be L .


    22 42
     L = 2  1
    7 100
    6
     L = 2  22  1
    100
    264 2
    L= m
    100
    Now, find the distance covered in 750 revolutions by multiplying the lateral
    surface area by 750.
    264 2
     L = 750  m
    100
     L = 1980m 2
    Hence, the road has an area of 1980 square centimeter.

    10. A company packages its milk powder in a cylindrical container whose


    base has a diameter of 14cm and height 20cm. Company places a label
    around the surface of the container(as shown in the figure).If the label
    is placed 2 cm from top and bottom, what is the area of the label.

    Ans: The height of the label will be the difference of 20 cm and 2 cm.

    Class VIII Maths www.vedantu.com 7


     20 − 2 − 2 = 20 − 4
    = 16 cm

    The diameter of the label is 14 cm.


    The radius is half of the diameter. So,
    14
    r=
    2
     r = 7cm
    The area of the label is of the form of a cylinder. The radius is 7 cm and height
    16 cm.
    A = 2    7 16
    22
    A = 2   7 16
    7
    A = 2  22 16
    A = 704 cm 2

    The area of the label is 704 square cm.
