(i) Let r be the radius of the circle. Then, r = 8.4 $÷$ 2 = 4.2 cm.
∴ Area of the circle  = ${\mathrm{\pi r}}^{2}$
.

#### Question 3:

The area of a circle is 154 cm2. Find the radius of the circle.

Let the radius of the circle be r cm.
Area of the circle (A) = 154 cm2

Hence, the radius of the circle is 7 cm.

(i) 4 π cm2
(ii) 55.44 m2
(iii) 1.54 km2

(i) â€‹Let the radius of the circle be r cm.

∴ Area of the circle (A) = 55.44 m2

(iii) â€‹Let the radius of the circle be r cm.

#### Question 5:

The circumference of a circle is 3.14 m, find its area.

We have :

Circumference of the circle = 3.14  â€‹m = $2\mathrm{\pi r}$

Area of the circle (A) = ${\mathrm{\pi r}}^{2}$

#### Question 6:

We have :
Area of the circle (A) = â€‹${\mathrm{\pi r}}^{2}$ = 50.24 m2

Circumference of circle (C) = $2\mathrm{\pi r}$

#### Question 7:

A horse is tied to a pole with 28 m long string. Find the area where the horse can graze. (Take π = 22/7).

We have :
Length of the string = â€‹28 m
The area over which the horse can graze is the same as the area of a circle of radius 28 m.
Hence, required area = πâ€‹r2.

#### Question 8:

A steel wire when bent in the form of a square encloses an area of 121 cm2. If the same wire is bent in the form of a circle, find the area of the circle.

We have :
Area of the square = 121 cm2
⇒ (side)2 = (11)2 cm2
⇒ side =  11 cm.
So, the perimeter of the square = 4(side) = (4 x 11) cm = 44 cm.

Let r be the radius of the circle. Then,
Circumference of the circle = Perimeter of the square
⇒     2πr =  44
⇒     2 x $\frac{22}{7}$x r =  44
⇒ r = 7 cm.
∴ Area of the circle = πâ€‹r2  =  .

Radius of the path including the 7m wide road = (r +7) =  56 +7 = 63 m.
∴ Area of the road :

#### Question 10:

We have :
Given perimeter of the circle = 4$\mathrm{\pi }$r cm = 2â€‹$\mathrm{\pi }$ (2r) cm

We know that, the perimeter of a circle = 2$\mathrm{\pi }$r

∴ Radius of the circle = 2r cm
Area of the circle= $\mathrm{\pi }$r2   = â€‹$\mathrm{\pi }$ (2r)2 = 4â€‹$\mathrm{\pi }$r2 .

#### Question 12:

A wire of 5024 m length is in the form of a square. It is cut and made a circle. Find the ratio of the area of the square to that of the circle.

We have:
Perimeter of the square = 5024 m = Circumference of the circle
⇒â€‹ 4 x Side of the square = 5024
∴ Side of the square = .
Let the area of the square be A1 and the area of the circle be A2.
Area of the square (A1)= side x side = .
Circumference of the circle = 5024 m
⇒ 2 $\mathrm{\pi }$r = 5024 m

Area of the circle (A2)= $\mathrm{\pi }$r2   = â€‹$\left[\frac{22}{7}×\frac{5024×7}{2×22}×\frac{5024×7}{2×22}\right]=\left[\frac{5024×5024××7}{2×2×22}\right]{\mathrm{m}}^{2}$.

Hence, the ratio of the area of the square to the area of the circle is 11:14.

#### Question 13:

The radius of a circle is 14 cm. Find the radius of the circle whose area is double of the area of the circle.

Let the area of the circle whose radius is 14 cm be A1.
Let the radius and area of the circle, whose area is twice the area of the circle A1 , be r2 and A2, respectively.

Thus,
A1.
A2 = 2 $×$A1 = 2 $×$ 616 = 1232 cm2
A2 = $\mathrm{\pi }{\left({\mathrm{r}}_{2}\right)}^{2}$ = 1232 cm2

Hence, the radius of the circle A2 is 14$\sqrt{2}$ cm.

Area of the 2nd circle =
Area of the big circle =
Area of the shaded portion = Area of the big circle - (Area of the Ist circle + Area of the IInd circle)
Area of the shaded portion = $81\mathrm{\pi }-\left(36\mathrm{\pi }+9\mathrm{\pi }\right)=36\mathrm{\pi }$ cm2.

∴ Circumference of the circular field = .
If John cycles at the speed of 8 km/hr (In 1 hour John covers 8 km = 8000 m ), then,
John covers 8000 m in 1 hour.

â€‹â€‹∴ Time required to cover 132 m  =
1 hour = 3600 seconds
∴ 0.0615 hours = 0.0615 x 3600 = 59.4 seconds.

#### Question 12:

The hour and minute hands of a clock are 4 cm and 6 cm long respectively. Find the sum of the distances travelled by their tips in 2 days.

The radius of the path inscribed by the hour hand = Length of the hour hand = 4 cm
The radius of the path inscribed by the minute hand = Length of the minute hand = 6 cm

The circumference of the path inscribed by the hour hand = .
The hour hand makes 2 revolutions in one day.
∴ The distance covered by the hour hand in 2 days = .
The distance covered by the minute hand in 1 revolution =
The minute hand makes 1 revolution in one hour.
∴ In  1 day, it makes 24 revolutions.
In 2 days, it makes  2 x 24 revolutions.
∴ â€‹The distance covered by the minute hand in â€‹2 days =
The sum of the distances travelled by the hour and minute hands in 2 days = 1810.28 + 100.57 = 1910.85 cm.

#### Question 13:

A rhombus has the same perimeter as the circumference of a circle. If the side of the rhombus is 2.2 m, find the radius of the circle.

We have:

The side of a rhombus  = 2.2 m
Let C be the circumference of a circle having a radius r cm. Then,
the perimeter of the rhombus = 4$×\mathrm{side}$ = 4 x 2.2 = 8.8 m.
â€‹
We know:
Perimeter of the rhombus = Circumference of the circle

The radius of the circle is 1.4 m.

#### Question 14:

A wire is looped in the form of a circle of radius 28 cm. It is re-bent into a square form. Determine the length of the side of the square.

We have:

The radius of the circle  = 28 cm
∴ Circumference of the circle  = .
Let a cm be the side of the square. Then,
the circumference of the circle  = the perimeter of the square

The side of the square is 44 cm.

#### Question 15:

A bicycle wheel makes 5000 revolutions in moving 11 km. Find the diameter of the wheel.

We have:

Total distance covered in 5000 revolutions =  11 km = 11,000 m
∴â€‹ Distance covered in 1 revolution = .
Distance covered in 1 revolution =  Circumference of the wheel
â€‹
Thus, the diameter of the wheel is 0.7 m = 70 cm.

#### Question 16:

A boy is cycling such that the wheels of the cycle are making 140 revolutions per minute. If the diameter of the wheel is 60 cm, calculate the speed per hour with which the boy is cycling.

â€‹â€‹We have:
The diameter of the wheel =  60 cm
Distance covered by the wheel in 1 revolution = Circumference of the wheel
∴ Distance covered by the wheel in 1 revolution =
∴ Distance covered in 140 revolutions = .

Thus, the wheel covers 26400 cm in 1 minute. Then,

The speed with which the boy is cycling is 15.84 km/hr.                                 â€‹

#### Question 17:

The diameter of the driving wheel of a bus is 140 cm. How many revolutions per minute must the wheel make in order to keep a speed of 66 km per hour?

We have:
Diameter of the wheel = 140 cm, desired speed of the bus = 66 km/hr
∴ Distance covered in 1 revolution = The circumference of the wheel = $\mathrm{\pi d}$ = .
Now, the desired speed of the bus = 66 km/hr  =.
∴ Number of revolutions per minute = .

Thus, the bus must make 250 revolutions per minute to keep the speed at 66 km/hr.

#### Question 18:

A water sprinkler in a lawn sprays water as far as 7 m in all directions. Find the length of the outer edge of wet grass.

The wet grass forms a circular region of radius 7 m.
∴ The length of the outer edge of the wet grass is .

#### Question 19:

A well of diameter 150 cm has a stone parapet around it. If the length of the outer edge of the parapet is 660 cm, then find the width of the parapet.

We have :
Diameter of the well  = 150 cm
Length of the outer edge of the parapet = 660 cm
Width of the parapet = ?
Radius of well = 150 $÷$ 2 = 75 cm.
Let the width of  the stone parapet be x cm.Clearly, the outer edge of the parapet forms a circular region of radius (x +75 cm). Therefore,

Thus, the width of the parapet is 30 cm.

#### Question 20:

An ox in a kolhu (an oil processing apparatus) is tethered to a rope 3 m long. How much distance does it cover in 14 rounds?
