iv. Stick this strip on the beaker straight up from the bottom.
v. Fill the water in the beaker upto the first mark of the strip from bottom.
vi. Push the ball in the beaker so that it touches the bottom.
Observe how much water level rises.
You will notice that the water level has risen exactly upto the total height of the strip. Try to obtain the formula for volume of sphere using the volume of the cylindrical beaker.
Solution:
Suppose volume of beaker upto height 2r is V.
V = πr2 h
∴ V = πr2(2r) …[∵ h = 2r]
∴ V = 2πr3
But, V = volume of the ball + volume of water in the beaker
∴ 2πr3 = Volume of the ball + 13 × 2πr3
∴ Volume of the ball = 2πr3 – 23 πr3
= 6πr3−2πr33
∴ Volume of the ball = 43 πr3
∴ Volume of a sphere = 43 πr3

Practice Set 7.4

Question 1. In the adjoining figure, A is the centre of the circle. ∠ABC = 45° and AC = 72–√ cm. Find the area of segment BXC, (π = 3.14)
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Mensuration Practice Set 7.4 1
Solution:
In ∆ABC,
AC = AB … [Radii of same circle]
∴ ∠ABC = ∠ACB …[Isosceles triangle theorem]
∴ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 45°
In ∆ABC,
∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180° … [Sum of the measures of angles of a triangle is 180° ]
∴ 45° + 45° + ∠BAC = 180°
∴ 90° + ∠BAC = 180°
∴ ∠BAC = 90°
Let ∠BAC = θ = 90°
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Mensuration Practice Set 7.4 2
∴ The area of segment BXC is 27.93 cm2.

Given: Radius (r) =15 cm, central angle (θ) = 60°
To find: Areas of major and minor segments.
Solution:

Let chord PQ subtend ∠POQ = 60° at centre.
∴ θ = 60°
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 7 Mensuration Practice Set 7.4 10
= 225 [0.0908]
= 20.43 cm2
∴ area of minor segment = 20.43 cm2
Area of circle = πr2
= 3.14 × 15 × 15
= 3.14 × 225
= 706.5 cm2
Area of major segment
= Area of circle – area of minor segment
= 706.5 – 20.43
= 686.07 cm2
Area of major segment 686.07 cm2
∴ The area of minor segment Is 20.43 cm2 and the area of major segment is 686.07 cm2.
