Question: 5

The ratio of the radii of two circles is 3 : 2. What is the ratio of their circumferences?

Solution:

We have, the ratio of the radii = 3 : 2

So, let the radii of the two circles be 3r and 2r respectively.

Question: 6

A wire in the form of a rectangle 18.7 cm long and 14.3 cm wide is reshaped and bent into the form of a circle. Find the radius of the circle so formed.

Solution:

Question: 7

A piece of wire is bent in the shape of an equilateral triangle of each side 6.6 cm. It is re-bent to form a circular ring. What is the diameter of the ring?

Solution:

Question: 8

The diameter of a wheel of a car is 63 cm. Find the distance travelled by the car during the period, the wheel makes 1000 revolutions.

Solution:

It may be noted that in one revolution, the cycle covers a distance equal to the circumference of the wheel.

Now, the diameter of the wheel = 63 cm

∴ Circumference of the wheel = πd = 227 x 63 = 198 cm.

Thus, the cycle covers 198 cm in one revolution.

∴ The distance covered by the cycle in 1000 revolutions = (198 x 1000) = 198000 cm = 1980 m.

Question: 9

The diameter of a wheel of a car is 98 cm. How many revolutions will it make to travel 6160 metres.

Solution:

Question: 10
