Solution:
\(\text { Average rainfall during the week }=\frac{\text { sum of rainfall for each day of the week }}{\text { number of days }}\)
= \(\frac{9+11+8+20+10+16+12}{7}\)
= \(\frac { 86 }{ 7 }\)
= 12.285 ≈ 12.29
∴ The average rainfall during the week is 12.29 mm.

Question 2.
During the annual function of a school, a Women’s Self-help Group had set up a snacks stall. Their sales every hour were worth Rs 960, Rs 830, Rs 945, Rs 800, Rs 847, Rs 970 respectively. What was the average of the hourly sales?
Solution:
\(\text { Average hourly sales }=\frac{\text { sum of sales every hour }}{\text { number of hours }}\)
= \(\frac{960+830+945+800+847+970}{6}\)
= \(\frac { 5352 }{ 6 }\)
= Rs 892
∴ The average of the hourly sales was Rs 892.

Question 3.
The annual rainfall in Vidarbha in five years is given below. What is the average rainfall for those 5 years?
900 mm, 650 mm, 450 mm, 733 mm, 400 mm.
Solution:
\(\text { Average rainfall for } 5 \text { years }=\frac{\text { sum of annual rainfall in five years }}{\text { number of years }}\)
= \(\frac{900+650+450+733+400}{5}\)
= \(\frac { 3133 }{ 5 }\)
= 626.6
∴ The average rainfall in Vidarbha for 5 years was 626.6 mm.

49.8, 49.7, 49.5, 49.3, 50,48.9, 49.2, 48.8.
Solution:
\(\text { Average weight of the sacks }=\frac{\text { sum of weight of each sack }}{\text { number of sacks }}\)
= \(\frac{49.8+49.7+49.5+49.3+50+48.9+49.2+48.8}{8}\)
= \(\frac { 395.2 }{ 8 }\)
= \(\frac { 3952 }{ 80 }\)
= 49.4
∴ The average weight of the sacks is 49.4 kg.

…. [(a + b)(a – b) = a² – b²]
= 9x² – 25

iii. Here, A = a, B = 6
(a + 6) (a – 6) = a² – 6²
…. [(A + B)(A – B) = A² – B²]
= a² – 36

iv. Here, a = \(\frac { x }{ 5 }\), b = 6
\(\left(\frac{x}{5}+6\right)\left(\frac{x}{5}-6\right)=\left(\frac{x}{5}\right)^{2}-(6)^{2}\)

iii. 54 × 46
iv. 98 × 102
Solution:
i. 502 × 498 = (500 + 2) (500 – 2)
Here, a = 500, b = 2
∴ (500 + 2) (500 – 2) = 500² – 2²
…. [(a + b)(a – b) = a² – b²]
= 250000 – 4
= 249996
∴ 502 × 498 = 249996

ii. 97 × 103 = (100 – 3) (100 + 3)
Here, a = 100, b = 3
∴ (100 – 3) (100 + 3) = 100² – 3²
…. [(a + b)(a – b) = a² – b²]
= 10000 – 9
= 9991
∴ 97 × 103 = 9991

iii. 54 × 46 = (50 + 4) (50 – 4)
Here, a = 50, b = 4
∴ (50 + 4) (50 – 4) = 50² – 4²
…. [(a + b)(a – b) = a² – b²]
= 2500 – 16 = 2484
∴ 54 × 46 = 2484

iv. 98 × 102 = (100 – 2) (100 + 2)
Here, a = 100, b = 2
∴ (100 – 2) (100 + 2) = 100² – 2²
…. [(a + b)(a – b) = a² – b²]
= 10000 – 4
= 9996

Balbharti Maharashtra State Board Class 7 Maths Solutions covers the 7th Std Maths Practice Set 48 Answers Solutions Chapter 13 Pythagoras Theorem.

Pythagoras Theorem Class 7 Practice Set 48 Answers Solutions Chapter 13

Question 1.
In the figures below, find the value of ‘x’.

Solution:
i. In ∆LMN, ∠M = 90°.
Hence, side LN is the hypotenuse.
According to Pythagoras’ theorem,
l(LN)² = l(LM)² + l(MN)²
∴ x² = 72 + 24²
∴ x² = 49 + 576
∴ x² = 625
∴ x² = 25²
∴ x = 25 units

ii. In ∆PQR, ∠Q = 90°.
Hence, side PR is the hypotenuse.
According to Pythagoras’ theorem,
l(PR)² = l(PQ)² + l(QR)²
∴ 412 = 92 + x²
∴ 1681 = 81 + x²
∴ 1681 – 81 = x²
∴ 1600 = x²
∴ x² = 1600
∴ x² = 40²
∴ x = 40 units

iii. In AEDF, ∠D = 90°.
Hence, side EF is the hypotenuse.
According to Pythagoras’ theorem,
l(EF)² = l(ED)² + l(DF)²
∴ 17² = x² + 8²
∴ 289 = x² + 64
∴ 289 – 64 = x²
∴ 225 = x²
∴ x² = 225
∴ x² = 15²
∴ x = 15 units

Question 2.
In the right-angled ∆PQR, ∠P = 90°. If l(PQ) = 24 cm and l(PR) = 10 cm, find the length of seg QR.
Solution:

In ∆PQR, ∠P = 90°.
Hence, side QR is the hypotenuse.
According to Pythagoras’ theorem,
l(QR)² = l(PR)² + l(PQ)²
∴ l(QR)² = 10² + 24²
∴ l(QR)² = 100 + 576
∴ l(QR)² =676
∴ l(QR)² = 26²
∴ l(QR) = 26 cm
∴ The length of seg QR is 26 cm.

Question 3.
In the right-angled ∆LMN, ∠M = 90°. If l(LM) = 12 cm and l(LN) = 20 cm, find the length of seg MN.
Solution:

In ∆LMN, ∠M = 90°.
Hence, side LN is the hypotenuse.
According to Pythagoras’ theorem,
l(LN)² = l(LM)² + l(MN)²
∴ 20² = 12² + l(MN)²
∴ l(MN)² = 20² – 12²
∴ l(MN)² = 400 – 144
∴ l(MN)² = 256
∴ l(MN)² = 16²
∴ l(MN)= 16 cm
∴ The length of seg MN is 16 cm.

Question 4.
The top of a ladder of length 15 m reaches a window 9 m above the ground. What is the distance between the base of the wall and that of the ladder?
Solution:

The wall and the ground are perpendicular to each other. Hence, the ladder leaning against the wall forms a right-angled triangle.
In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90°
According to Pythagoras’ theorem,
l(AC)² = l(AB)² + l(BC)²
∴ 15² = l(BC)² + 9²
∴ 225 = l(BC)² + 81
∴ 225 – 81 = l(BC)²
∴ 144 = l(BC)²
∴ 12² = l(BC)²
∴ l(BC) = 12
∴ The distance between the base of the wall and that of the ladder is 12 m.

Question 1.
Write the name of the hypotenuse of each of the right angled triangles shown below.
i.

The hypotenuse of ∆ABC is__
ii.

The hypotenuse of ∆LMN is__
iii.

Solution:
i. AC
ii. MN
iii. XZ

Question 2.
Draw right-angled triangles with the lengths of hypotenuse and one side as shown in the rough figures below. Measure the third side. Verify the Pythagoras’ theorem. (Textbook pg. no. 87)

Solution:

i. From the figure, by measurement,
l(AB) = 4 cm
Now, in right-angled triangle ABC,
l(AB)² + l(BC)² = (4)² + (3)²
= 16 + 9
∴ l(AB)² + l(BC)² = 25 …. (i)
l(AC)² = (5)² = 25 ….(ii)
∴ From (i) and (ii),
l(AC)² = l(AB)² + l(BC)²
∴ Pythagoras’ theorem is verified.
(Students should draw the triangles PQR and XYZ and verify the Pythagoras ’ theorem)

Question 3.
Without using a protractor, can you verify that every angle of the vacant quadrilateral in the adjacent figure is a right angle? (Textbook pg. no. 89)
Solution:

In the square ABCD the shaded triangles are right-angled and are the same.
In ∆LBM,
m∠BLM + m∠BML + m∠LBM = 180° …. (Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangles is 180° )
∴ m∠BLM + m∠BML + 90° = 180°
∴ m∠BLM + m∠BML = 90° …. (i)
Now, ∆LBM and ∆LAP are same.
∴ m∠BML = m∠ALP …. (ii)
∴ m∠BLM + m∠ALP = 90° …. IFrom (i) and (ii)l
Now, m∠ALP + m∠PLM + m∠BLM = 180° …. (The measure of a straight angle is 180°)
∴ m∠ALP + m∠BLM + m∠PLM = 180°
∴ 90° + m∠PLM = 180°
∴ m∠PLM = 180°- 90° = 90°
∴ m∠PLM is a right angle.
Similarly, we can prove that the other angles of the vacant quadrilateral are right angles.

Question 4.
On a sheet of card paper, draw a right-angled triangle of sides 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm. Construct a square on each of the sides. Find the area of each of the squares and verify Pythagoras’ theorem. (Textbook pg. no. 89)
Solution:

Area of square ABLM = l(AB)² = 32 = 9 sq.cm
Area of square BCPN = l(BC)²= 42 = 16 sq.cm
Area of square ACQR = l(AC)² = 52 = 25 sq.cm
Now, 25 = 16 + 9
i.e. 5² = 4² + 3²
∴ l(AC)² = l(BC)² + l(AB)²
∴ (hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (height)²

(A) 140°
(B) 60°
(C) 240°
(D) 160°
Solution:
(C) 240°

Hint:
Measure of major arc = 360° – measure of corresponding minor arc
∴ m (arc AYB) = 360 – m (arc AXB)
∴ m (arc AYB) = 360 – 120
∴ m (arc AYB) = 240°

Question 2.
Some arcs are shown in the circle with centre ‘O’ Write the names of the minor arcs, major arcs and semicircular arcs from among them.

Solution:
Minor arcs : arc QXP, arc PR, arc RY, arc YQ, arc QX, arc XP, arc PRY.
Major arcs : arc PYQ, arc PQR, arc RQY, arc XPQ, arc XQP, arc XQR
Semicircular arcs : arc QPR, arc QYR.

Question 3.
In a circle with centre O, the measure of a minor arc is 110°. What is the measure of the major arc PYQ?

Solution:
Measure of major arc = 360° – measure of corresponding minor arc
∴ m (arc PYQ) = 360 – 110
∴ m (arc PYQ) = 250°
∴ The measure of the major arc PYQ is 250°.

Question 1.
If the side of a square is 12 cm, find its area.
Solution:
Area of a square = (side)² = (12)²
= 144 sq. cm.
∴ The area of the square is 144 sq. cm.

Question 2.
If the length of a rectangle is 15 cm and breadth is 5 cm, find its area.
Solution:
Area of a rectangle = length × breadth
= 15 × 5
= 75 sq. cm.
∴ The area of the rectangle is 75 sq. cm.

Question 3.
The area of a rectangle is 102 sq. cm. If its length is 17 cm, what is its perimeter?
Solution:
Area of a rectangle = length × breadth
∴ 102 = 17 × breadth
∴ breadth = \(\frac { 102 }{ 17 }\) = 6 cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
= 2 (17 + 6)
= 2 × 23
= 46 cm
∴ The perimeter of rectangle is 46 cm.

Question 4.
If the side of a square is tripled, how many times will its area be as compared to the area of the original square?
Solution:
Let the side of the square be a.
∴ Area of a square = (side)² = a²
New side of the square = 3 × a = 3a
∴ New area of the square = (3a)²
= 9a²
= 9 × area of original square
∴ If the side of a square is tripled, its area will become 9 times the area of the original square.

Length of new rectangle PQRS = 65 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 68 m
Breadth of new rectangle PQRS = 30 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 33m
Area of path = Area of rectangle PQRS – Area of rectangle ABCD = 68 x 33 – 65 x 30
= 2244 – 1950
= 294 sq m

Question 2.
Is there another way to find the area of the pathway in the problem above? (Textbook pg. no. 82)

Solution:
Yes. The area of the pathway can be found by dividing it into rectangles and adding the areas of these rectangles.
Length of rectangle 1 = 30 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 33 m
Breadth of rectangle 1 = 1.5 m
∴ Area of rectangle 1 = 33 x 1.5
= 49.5 sq. m
Area of rectangle 4 = Area of rectangle 1
= 49.5 sq. m.
Length of rectangle 2 = 65 m
breadth of rectangle 2 = 1.5 m
∴ Area of rectangle 2 = 65 x 1.5
= 97.5 sq. m.
Area of rectangle 3 = area of rectangle 2
= 97.5 sq. m.
∴ Area of pathway = Sum of area of the 4 rectangles = 49.5 + 49.5 + 97.5 + 97.5
= 294 sq. m.

Question 3.
The length and the width of a mobile phone are 13 cm and 7 cm respectively. It has a screen PQRS as shown in the figure. What is the area of the screen? (Textbook pg. no. 82)

Solution:
ABCD is the rectangle formed by the edges of the mobile. PQRS is the rectangle formed by leaving a 1.5 cm wide edge alongside AB, BC, and DC, and a 2 cm edge alongside DA.
Length of rectangle PQRS = 9.5 cm
Breadth of rectangle PQRS = 4 cm
Area of screen = Area of rectangle PQRS = 9.5 x 4
= 38 sq .cm

i. 12 cm, 10 cm, 5 cm
ii. 5 cm, 3.5 cm, 1.4 cm
iii. 2.5 m, 2 m, 2.4 m
iv. 8 m, 5 m, 3.5 m
Solution:
i. Total surface area of cuboid
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 (12 × 10 + 10 × 5 + 12 × 5)
= 2 (120 + 50 + 60)
= 2 × 230
= 460 sq. cm.

ii. Total surface area of cuboid
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 (5 × 3.5 + 3.5 × 1.4 + 5 × 1.4)
= 2(17.5 + 4.9 + 7)
= 2 × 29.4
= 58.8 sq. cm.

iii. Total surface area of cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2(2.5 × 2 + 2 × 2.4 + 2.5 × 2.4)
= 2 (5 + 4.8 + 6)
= 2 × 15.8
= 31.6 sq. m.

iv. Total surface area of cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 (8 × 5+ 5 × 3.5 + 8 × 3.5)

= 171 sq. m.

Question 3.
A matchbox is 4 cm long, 2.5 cm broad and 1.5 cm in height. Its outer sides are to be covered exactly with craft paper. How much paper will be required to do so?
Solution:
Length of the matchbox (l) = 4 cm, breadth (b) = 2.5 cm, height (h) = 1.5 cm
∴ Total surface area of the matchbox = 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 (4 × 2.5 + 2.5 × 1.5 + 4 × 1.5)
= 2 (10 + 3.75 + 6)
= 2 × 19.75
= 39.5 sq. cm.
∴ 39.5 sq. cm paper will be required.

Question 4.
An open box of length 1.5 m, breadth 1 m, and height 1 m is to be made for use on a trolley for carrying garden waste. How much sheet metal will be required to make this box? The inside and outside surface of the box is to be painted with rust proof paint. At a rate of Rs 150 per sq. m, how much will it cost to paint the box?
Solution:
Length of the box (l) = 1.5 m, breadth (b) = 1 m, height (h) = 1 m
Since, the box is open at top,
∴ Sheet required to make the box = total surface area of the box – area of the top
= 2 (lb + bh + lh) – lb
= 2lb + 2bh + 2lh – lb
= lb + 2bh + 2lh
= 1.5 × 1 + 2 × 1 × 1 + 2 × 1.5 × 1
= 1.5 + 2 + 3
= 6.5 sq. m.
Since, the inside and outside surface of the box are to be painted.
∴ Area to be painted = 2 × Area of the box = 2 × 6.5 = 13 sq. m.
Total cost of painting = area to be painted × rate per sq. m.
= 13 × 150
= Rs 1950
∴ 6.5 sq. m. sheet of metal will be required and the cost of painting the box will be Rs 1950.

Question 1.
A page of a calendar is 45 cm long and 26 cm wide. What is its area?
Solution:
Area of page of a calendar = length × breadth
= 45 × 26
= 1170 sq. cm.
∴ The area of the page of the calendar is 1170 sq. cm.

Question 2.
What is the area of a triangle with base 4.8 cm and height 3.6 cm?
Solution:
Area of triangle = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × base × height
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × 4.8 × 3.6
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) × 17.28
= 8.64 sq. cm.
∴ The area of the triangle is 8.64 sq. cm.

Question 3.
What is the value of a rectangular plot of land 75.5 m long and 30.5 m broad at the rate of Rs 1000 per square metre?
Solution:
Area of the rectangular plot = length × breadth
= 75.5 × 30.5
= 2302.75 sq. m.
Value of the plot = area of the plot × rate per square metre = 2302.75 × 1000
= Rs 230275
∴ The value of the plot is Rs 23,02,750.

Question 4.
A rectangular hall is 12 m long and 6 m broad. Its flooring is to be made of square tiles of side 30 cm. How many tiles will fit in the entire hall? How many would be required if tiles of side 15 cm were used?
Solution:
Area of the rectangular hall = length × breadth
= 12 × 6
= 72 sq. m.
Side of the square shaped tile = 30 cm
= \(\frac { 30 }{ 100 }\) m …[1cm = \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 }\)m]
= \(\frac { 3 }{ 10 }\) m
Area of the tile = (side)²
= \(\left(\frac{3}{10}\right)^{2}\)
= \(\frac{9}{100}\) sq.m
Number of tiles required = \(\frac{\text { Area of the hall }}{\text { Area of each tile }}\)
= \(72 \div \frac{9}{100}\)
= \(72 \times \frac{100}{9}\)
= 800
∴ 800 square shaped tiles of 30 cm side will be required.
If the side of the square is reduced to half, its area will become \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) times the original.
i. e. number of tiles required will become 4 times the original tiles.
∴ Number of tiles required = 4 × number of tiles of side 30 cm
= 4 × 800
= 3200
∴ 3200 square shaped tiles of 15 cm side will be required.

Question 5.
Find the perimeter and area of a garden with measures as shown in the figure alongside.

Solution:

The boundary of the garden is made of 12 sides each of length 13 m.
Perimeter of the garden = sum of the lengths of all sides
= 12 × 13
= 156 m
The garden in the given figure can be divided into 5 squares each of side 13 m.
∴ Area of the garden = 5 × area of each square part
= 5 × (side)²
= 5 × (13)²
= 5 × 169
= 845 sq. m.
∴ The perimeter and area of a garden are 156 m and 845 sq. m. respectively.
