Some questions from NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter 15 – Mensuration

Q.1. In a stack, there are 5 books each of thickness 20mm and 5 paper sheets each of thickness 0.016 mm. What is the total thickness of the stack? 

Solution 

Thickness of 5 books = 5 × 20 = 100 mm 

Thickness of 5 paper sheets = 5 × 0.016 = 0.080 mm 

Total thickness of stack = 100 + 0.080 = 100.08 mm 

= 1.0008 × 102 

Q.2. A plastic box 1.5 m long, 1.25 m wide and 65 cm deep is to be made. It is opened at the top. Ignoring the thickness of the plastic sheet, 

(i) determine the area of the sheet 

(ii) the cost of the sheet for it, if a sheet measuring 1 m2 costs Rs.20. 

Solution 

= [2 × 1.5 × 0.65 + 2 × 1.25 × 0.65 + 1.5 × 1.25] m2 

= (1.95 + 1.625 + 1.875)m2 = 5.45 m2 

1. ii) Cost of sheet per m2 area = Rs. 20 

Cost of sheet of 5.45m2 area = Rs. 5.45 × 20 

= Rs. 109
