Chapter 11 Circle Set 11.1

Question 1.
Complete the table below:

Solution:
i. Radius (r) = 7 cm
Diameter (d) = 2r
= 2 x 7 = 14 cm
Circumference (c) = πd
= 22/7 x 14
= 44 cm

ii. Diameter (d) = 28 cm

Question 2.
If the circumference of a circle is 176 cm, find its radius.
Solution:
Circumference (c) = 176 cm
∴ 2πr = 176
∴ 2 x 22/7 x r = 176
∴ x r = 176
∴ r = 176 x 7/44 = 28 cm
∴ The radius of the circle is 28 cm.

Question 3.
The radius of a circular garden is 56 m. What would it cost to put a 4-round fence around this garden at a rate of 40 rupees per metre?
Solution:
Radius of the circular garden (r) = 56 m
∴ Circumference of the circular garden (c) = 2πr
= 2 x 22/7 x 56
= 352 m
∴ Length of the wire required to put 1-round fence = Circumference
∴ Length of wire required to put a 4-round fence = 4 x Circumference
= 4 x 352
= 1408 m
∴ Cost of wire per meter = Rs 40
∴ Total cost = length of wire required x cost of the wire
= 1408 x 40
= Rs 56320
∴ The cost to put a 4-round fence around the garden is Rs 56320.

Question 4.
The wheel of a bullock cart has a diameter of 1.4 m. How many rotations will the wheel complete as the cart travels 1.1 km?
Solution:
Diameter of the wheel of the bullock cart (d) = 1.4 m
Circumference of the wheel of the bullock cart (c) = πd

Distance covered in 1 rotation = Circumference of the wheel
= 4.4 m

∴ The wheel of the bullock cart will complete 250 rotations as the cart travels 1.1 km.
