So Anar also tried many different ways to make a boundary for 800 square meters of land.
He made rectangles A, B, and C of different sizes. Find out the length of the boundary of each. How much gold wire will he get for these rectangles?
- A
Gold wire for A = _________ metres - B

Gold wire for B = _________ metres - C
Gold wire for C = __________ metres
But then Anar made an even longer rectangle... See how long!
- D

So he will get __________ metres of gold wire!!

उत्तर
Area of 30 m × 20 m rectangle = 600 square metres
Its area is larger than the area of the first rectangle.
The other rectangles that he can make with 100 metres of wire are
40 m × 10 m,
48 m × 2 m,
49 m × 1 m,
45 m × 5 m
- A

As the area of a rectangle, A is shown as 40 m × 20 m.
So, the length of rectangle = 40 m
Width of rectangle = 20 m
Gold wire for A
= 40 + 20 + 40 + 20
= 120 metres - B
As the area of rectangle B is shown as 80 m × 10 m.
So, the length of rectangle = 80 m
Width of rectangle = 10 m
Gold wire for B
= 80 + 10 + 80 + 10
= 180 metres - C

As the area of rectangle C is shown as 800 m × 1 m.
So, the length of rectangle = 800 m
Width of rectangle = 1 m
Gold wire for C
= 800 + 1 + 800 + 1
= 1602 metres - D

As the area of rectangle D is shown as 8000 m × 0.1 m.
So, the length of rectangle = 8000 m
Width of rectangle = 0.1 m
Gold wire for C
= 8000 + 0.1 + 8000 + 0.1
= 16000 + 0.2
= 16000.2 metres.
So, he will get 16000.2 metres of gold wire!!

In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid 1 mL of oleic acid is dissolved in 19 mL of alcohol. Then 1 mL of this solution is diluted to 20 mL by adding alcohol. Now 1 drop of this diluted solution is placed on water in a shallow trough. The solution spreads over the surface of water forming one molecule thick layer. Now, lycopodium powder is sprinkled evenly over the film and its diameter is measured. Knowing the volume of the drop and area of the film we can calculate the thickness of the film which will give us the size of oleic acid molecule.
Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:
- Why do we dissolve oleic acid in alcohol?
- What is the role of lycopodium powder?
- What would be the volume of oleic acid in each mL of solution prepared?
- How will you calculate the volume of n drops of this solution of oleic acid?
- What will be the volume of oleic acid in one drop of this solution?
