NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Mathematics Surface Areas and Volumes

1. A matchbox 4 cm x 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm. What will be the volume a packet containing 12 such boxes?

Ans. Given: Length = 4 cm, Breadth = 2.5 cm, Height = 1.5 cm

Volume of a matchbox =

= 4 x 2.5 x 1.5

= 15 cm³

Volume of a packet containing 12

such matchboxes = 12 x 15 = 180 cm³

2. A cubical water tank is 6 m long, 5 m wide and 4.5 m deep. How many litres of water can it hold? (1 m³ = 1000)

Ans. Volume of water in cuboidal tank = 6 m x 5 m x 4.5 m

= 135 m³= 135 x 1000 liters

= 135000 liters

Hence tank can hold 135000 liters of water.

3. A cuboidal vessel is 10 m long and 8 m wide. How high must it be to hold 380 cubic meters of a liquid?

Ans. Let height of cuboidal vessel = m

Volume of liquid in cuboidal vessel

= 380 m³

= 380 cm³

10 m x 8 m x = 380

= = 4.75 m

Hence cuboidal vessel is 4.75 m high.

4. Find the cost of digging a cuboidal pit 8 m long. 6 m broad and 3 m deep at the rate of Rs. 30 per m³.

Ans. Volume of cuboidal pit = 8 m x 6 m x 3 m= 144 m³

Cost of digging 1 m³ cuboidal pit

= Rs. 30

Cost of digging 144 m³ cuboidal pit

= 30 x 144 = Rs. 4320

5. The capacity of a cuboidal tank is 50000 litres of water. Find the breadth of the tank, if its length and depth are respectively 2.5 m and 10 m.

(1 m³ = 1000)

Ans. Capacity of cuboidal tank

= 50000 liters

= 50000 liters

2.5 m x x 10 m = m³

= 2 m

Hence breadth of cuboidal tank is 2 m.

6. A village having a population of 4000 requires 150 litres of water per head per day. It has a tank measuring 20 m by 15 m by 6 m. For how many days will the water of this tank last?

Ans. Capacity of cuboidal tank

= = 20 m x 15 m x 6 m

= 1800 m³ = 1800 x 1000 liters

= 1800000 liters

Water required by her head per day

= 150 liters

Water required by 4000 persons per day = 150 x 4000 = 600000 liters

Number of days the water will last

=

= = 3

Hence water of the given tank will last for 3 days.

7. A godown measures 40 m x 25 m x 15 m. Find the maximum number of wooden crates each measuring 1.5 m x 1.25 m x 0.5 m that can be stored in the godown.

Ans. Capacity of cuboidal godown

= 40 m x 25 m x 15 m = 15000 m³

Capacity of wooden crate = 1.5 m x 1.25 m x 0.5 m = 0.9375 m³

Maximum number of crates that can be stored in the godown

=

= = 16000

Hence maximum 16000 crates can be stored in the godown.

8. Find the minimum number of bricks each measuring 22.5 cm x 11.5 cm x 7.5 cm required to construct a wall 10 m long, 6 m high and 1.5 m thick.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ans. Volume of one cuboidal brick

=

= 22.5 cm x 11. 5 cm x 7.5 cm³

= 1940.625 cm³

= 0.001940625 m³

Volume of cuboidal wal

= 10 m x 6 m x 1.5 m= 90 m³

Minimum number of bricks required

=

=

=

= = 46376.81

= 46377 [Since bricks cannot be in fraction]

9. A solid cube of side 12 cm is cut into eight cubes of equal volume. What will be the side of the new cube? Also, find the ratio between their surface areas.

Ans. Volume of solid cube =

= = 1728 cm³

According to question, Volume of each new cube= (Volume of original cube)

= = 216 cm³

Side of new cube = = 6 cm

Now, Surface area of original solid cube = 6 (side)²

= 6 x 12 x 12 = 864 cm²

Now, Surface area of original solid cube = 6 (side)²= 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 cm²

Now according to the question,

= =

Hence required ration between surface area of original cube to that of new cube = 4 : 1.

10. A river 3 m deep and 40 m wide is flowing at the rate of 2 km per hour. How much water eill fall into the sea in a minute?

Ans. Since water flows at the rate of 2 km per hour, the water from 2 km of the river flows into the sea in one hour.

Therefore, the volume of water flowing into the sea in one hour

= Volume of a cuboid

= = 2000 m x 40 m x 3 m

= 240000 m³ [1 km = 1000 m]

Now, Volume of water flowing into sea in 1 hour (in 60 minutes)

= 240000 m³

Volume of water flowing into sea in 1 minute = = 4000 m³

11. Find the length of a wooden plank of width 2.5 m, thickness 0.025 m and volume 0.25 m³.

 

 

Ans. Given: Volume of wooden plank

= 0.25 m³

x 2.5 x 0.025 = 0.25

= 4 m

Hence required length of wooden plank is 4 m.
