(a)  

In the diagram, ABCD is a rectangular garden (3n - 1)m long and (2n + 1)m wide. A wire mesh 135m long is used to mark its boundary and to divide it into 8 equal plots. Find the value of n.

(b) A cylinder with base radius 14 cm has the same volume as a cube of side 22 cm. Calculate the ratio of the total surface area of the cylinder to that of the cube. [Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)]

Explanation

(a) \(3(3n - 1) + 5(2n + 1) = 135\)

\(9n - 3 + 10n + 5 = 135\)

\(19n + 2 = 135\)

\(19n = 135 - 2 = 133\)

\(n = \frac{133}{19} = 7\)

(b) Radius of a cylinder = 14 cm

side of a cube = 22 cm 

\(\therefore \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14 \times h = 22 \times 22 \times 22\)

\(44 \times 14 \times h = 22 \times 22 \times 22\)

\(h = \frac{22 \times 22 \times 22}{44 \times 14}\)

= \(\frac{121}{7} cm\)

TSA of a cylinder = \(2\pi r (r + h) = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 (14 + \frac{121}{7})\)

= \(88(\frac{98 + 121}{7}) = \frac{88 \times 219}{7}\)

= \(\frac{19272}{7} cm^{2}\)

TSA of a cube = \(6s^{2}\)

= \(6 \times 22 \times 22\)

= \(2904 cm^{2}\)

Ratio = \(\frac{19272}{7} : 2904\)

= \(73 : 77\)
