Important Topics to Study:
1. Area of a Polygon
– Methods to find the area of a polygon by splitting it into triangles and trapeziums.
– Example problems involving polygons like pentagons, hexagons, and trapeziums.
2. Trapeziums and Rhombuses
– Finding the area of trapezium-shaped fields.
– Calculating the area and diagonals of rhombuses.
3. Solid Shapes
– Understanding how two-dimensional figures relate to the faces of three-dimensional shapes.
– Identifying solids like cubes, cuboids, and cylinders and their features.
Summary:
Students will learn to find the area of various polygons by dividing them into simpler shapes, understand properties of trapeziums and rhombuses for area calculations, and grasp the concept of solid shapes such as cubes and cylinders in this chapter on mensuration.
Define the concept of area and perimeter for a closed plane figure.
For a closed plane figure, the perimeter is the distance around its boundary, while the area is the region covered by it.
Explain how to find the area of a polygon according to the chapter.
A polygon can be split into parts like triangles and trapeziums to find its area. Diagonals are often used to divide the polygon into simpler shapes for area calculation.
Solve the exercise problem: 'The shape of the top surface of a table is a trapezium. Find its area if its parallel sides are 1 m and 1.2 m and the perpendicular distance between them is 0.8 m.'
The area of the trapezium can be calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * (a + b) * h, where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the perpendicular distance between them.
Provide the solution to the problem where the area of a trapezium is 34 cm², one parallel side is 10 cm, and the height is 4 cm. Calculate the length of the other parallel side.
Using the area formula for a trapezium, the length of the other parallel side can be found by rearranging the formula and substituting the known values.
In the context of mensuration, explain how a hexagon can be divided into parts to find its area using different methods.
A hexagon can be divided into triangles or trapeziums to simplify area calculation. Different methods, such as dividing it into congruent trapeziums or congruent triangles, can be used to find the area.
