Kerala 9th Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Question 1.
The base of a prism is an equilateral triangle of perimeter 15 centimetres and its height is 5 centimetres. Calculate its volume.
Base perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 15 cm.
Base edge = 15/3 = 5 cm
Height = 5 cm
Volume = Base area x Height

Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Notes Chapter 11 Question 2.
A hexagonal hole of each side 2 metres is dug in the school ground to collect rainwater. It is 3 metres deep. It now has water one metre deep. How much litres of water is in it?
One side of the hexagon = 2 m
It is given that the depth of the pit is 3 metre but the water level is only in 1 metre. So we take the height as 1 metre.
Volume of water = Volume of the hexagonal prism = Area of the hexagon × height

Area of the regular hexagon is equal to six times the area of equilateral triangle.

Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Question 3.
A hollow prism of base a square of side 16 centimetres contains water 10 centimetres high. If a solid cube of side 8 centimetres is immersed in it, by how much would the water level rise?
When a solid cube is immersed into water, the volume of water is raised.
Sum of the volume of the water at first time and volume of the solid cube immersed equally to the product of base area and height of water level now.
Volume of the water at first = Base area × height
= 16 × 16 × 10 = 2560 cm3
Volume of the solid cube when edges are 8 cm
= 8 × 8 × 8 = 512 cm3
Height at first = 10 cm
Water level raised = 12 -10 = 2 cm

Class 9 Maths Solution Kerala Syllabus Chapter 11 Question 1.
The base of a prism is an equilateral triangle of perimeter 12 centimetres and its height is 5 centimetres. What is its total surface area?
Base perimeter of equilateral triangular prism = 12 cm
Base side = 12/3 = 4 cm
Lateral surface area of equilateral trian-gular prism = Base perimeter × Height
=12 × 5 = 60 cm2
Base area of equilateral triangular prism = $$\frac { √3 }{ 4 }$$ × 42 = 4√3 = 6.92 cm2
Total surface area of equilateral triangular prism =60 + 2 × 6.92 = 73.84 cm2

Kerala Syllabus 9th Standard Notes Maths Chapter 11 Question 2.
Two identical prisms with right tri-angles as base are joined to form a rectangular prism as shown below:

What is total surface area?
The sides of the rectangular prism are
Length = 12 cm
Height = 15 cm.
Base area = 2 × perimeter of rectangle
2 × 12 × 5 = 120 cm2
Lateral surface area = base perimeter × height
= 2 (length + breadth) × height = 2(12 + 5) × 15
= 2 × 17 × 15 = 510 cm2
Total surface area = 120 + 510 = 630 cm2

Class 9 Maths Notes Kerala Syllabus Chapter 11 Question 3.
A water trough in the shape of a prism has trapezoidal faces. The dimensions of a base are shown in this picture:

The length of the trough is 80 centimetres. It is to be painted inside and outside. How much would be the cost at 100 rupees per square metre?
Now we add the area of two edge faces and three lateral faces ( 1 on bottom and 2 on sides).
In figure, AB = 50 cm, CD = 70 cm

EC = $$\frac { 70 – 50 }{ 2 }$$ = 10 cm
BE = 24 cm
BC2 = BE2 + EC2 = 242 + 102
= 576 + 100 = 676
BC = √676 = 26 cm.
Area of the trapezoidal faces of the water

= 12 × 120 = 1440 cm2 Area of two trapezoidal faces
= 2 × 1440 = 2880 cm2 Area of two rectangular faces on sides
= 2 × 80 × 26=4160 cm2
Area of rectangular face at bottom
=50 × 80 = 4000 cm2
Total Area= 2880 + 4160 + 4000 = 11040 cm2 = 1.1 m2
Total area to be painted
= 2 × 1.1 =2.2 m2
Total cost = 2.2 × 100 = 220
= Rs. 220

Question 2.
The volume and base area of a square prism are 3600 cubic centimetre and 144 cm2 respectively. What is its total surface area ?
Volume of the prism = 3600 cm3
Base area × height = 3600 cm3
144 × height = 3600
height = 3600/144 = 25 cm
Surface area = = Base area + Lateral surface area
Lateral surface area = Base perimeter × height
= 12 × 4 × 25 = 1200 cm2
(Base area = 144, One side = √144 =12 cm)
Total surface area = 144 + 1200 = 1344 cm2

Question 3.
A cylinder has height 20 cm and base radius 4 cm. Then find its vol-ume.
When the square of the radius is multiplied by π we get the area of the circle.

Total surface area = Base area + Lateral surface area
= 2a2 + 4ah (base egde is ‘a’)
1950 = 2 × 152 + 4 × 15 × h
1950 = 450 + 60h
60h = 1950 – 450 = 1500
h = 1500/60 = 25 cm

ii. Volume = a2 × h = 15 × 15 × 25
= 5625 cm3

Area of the land
= 32 × 24
= 768 m2

Area of the pond = 4 × 3 = 12m2
Area of the remaining places = 768 – 12 = 756 m2.
Volume of the sand dug out = 4 × 3 × 1.5
Height of soil = $$\frac { Volume }{ Base area }$$
= $$\frac { 4 × 3 × 1.5 }{ 756 }$$ = 0.0238m = 2.38 cm

‘Volume of the ghee in the first tin
= πr2h = π × 15 × 15 × 25 = 5625π cm3
Volume of the ghee in the second tin
= πr2h = π × 10 × 10 × 18 = 1800 π cm3
Total volume = 5625 π + 1800 π
=7425 π cm3 Volume of the ghee in the bigger tin
= πr2h = 7425 π
h =30
πr2h = πr2 × 30 = 7425 π
r2 = $$\frac { 7425 π }{ 30π }$$ = 247.5
$$r=\sqrt{247.5}=15.73 \mathrm{cm}$$

Volume of quadrangular prism = base area × height = 37.5 × 18× 40 = 27000 cm3
Volume of quadrangular prism = Volume of cube
∴ Volume of cube = 27000 cm3
Let one side of a cube be x, then a3 = 27000 ; a = 30cm
30 × 30 × 30 = 27000, Hence
Surface area of the cube = 6a2 = 6 × 30 × 30 = 5400 cm2
