Introduction
Find the rule which gives the number of matchsticks required to make the following matchsticks patterns. Use a variable to write the rule.
(a) A pattern of letter T as
(b) A pattern of letter Z as
(c) A pattern of letter U as
(d) A pattern of letter Vas
(e) A pattern of letter E as
(f) A pattern of letter S as
(g) A pattern of letter A as
(a)
From the figure, we observe that two matchsticks are required to make the letter T. Hence, the pattern is 2n
(b)
From the figure, we observe that three matchsticks are required to make the letter Z. Hence, the pattern is 3n
(c)
From the figure, we observe that three matchsticks are required to make the letter U. Hence, the pattern is 3n
(d)
From the figure, we observe that two matchsticks are required to make the letter V. Hence, the pattern is 2n
(e)
From the figure, we observe that 5 matchsticks are required to make the letter E. Hence, the pattern is 5n
(f)
From the figure, we observe that 5 matchsticks are required to make the letter S. Hence, the pattern is 5n
(g)
From the figure, we observe that 6 matchsticks are required to make the letter A. Hence, the pattern is 6n
We already know the rule for the pattern of letters L, C and F. Some of the letters from Q.1 (given above) give us the same rule as that given by L. Which are these? Why does this happen?
We know that T require only two matchsticks. So, the pattern for the letter T is 2n. Among all the letters given in question 1, only T and V are the letters which require two matchsticks. Hence, (a) and (d).
Cadets are marching in a parade. There are 5 cadets in a row. What is the rule which gives the number of cadets, given the number of rows? (Use n for the number of rows)
Let n be the number of rows
Number of cadets in a row = 5
Total number of cadets = number of cadets in a row × number of rows
= 5n
If there are 50 mangoes in a box, how will you write the total number of mangoes in terms of the number of boxes? (Use b for the number of boxes.)
Let b be the number of boxes
Number of mangoes in a box = 50
Total number of mangoes = number of mangoes in a box × number of boxes
= 50b
The teacher distributes 5 pencils per students. Can you tell how many pencils are needed, given the number of students? (Use s for the number of students.)
Let s be the number of students
Pencils given to each student = 5
Total number of pencils = number of pencils given to each student × number of students
= 5s
A bird flies 1 kilometer in one minute. Can you express the distance covered by the birds in terms of its flying time in minutes? (Use t for flying time in minutes.)
Let t minutes be the flying times
Distance covered in one minute = 1 km
Distance covered in t minutes = Distance covered in one minute × Flying time
= 1 × t
= t km
Radha is drawing a dot Rangoli (a beautiful pattern of lines joining dots) with chalk powder. She has 9 dots in a row. How many dots will her Rangoli have for r rows? How many dots are there if there are 8 rows? If there are 10 rows?
Number of dots in a row = 9
Number of rows = r
Total number of dots in r rows = Number of dots in a row × number of rows
= 9r
Number of dots in 8 rows = 8 × 9
= 72
Number of dots in 10 rows = 10 × 9
= 90
Leela is Radha’s younger sister. Leela is 4 years younger than Radha. Can you write Leela’s age in terms of Radha’s age? Take Radha’s age to be x years.
Let Radha’s age be x years
Leela’s age = 4 years younger than Radha
= (x – 4) years
Mother has made laddus. She gives some laddus to guests and family members; still 5 laddus remain. If the number of laddus mother gave away is l, how many laddus did she make?
Number of laddus mother gave = l
Remaining laddus = 5
Total number of laddus = number of laddus given away by mother + number of laddus remaining
= (l + 5) laddus
Oranges are to be transferred from larger boxes into smaller boxes. When a large box is emptied, the oranges from it fill two smaller boxes and still 10 oranges remain outside. If the number of oranges in a small box are taken to be x, what is the number of oranges in the larger box?
Number of oranges in a small box = x
Number of oranges in two small boxes = 2x
Number of oranges remaining = 10
Number of oranges in large box = number of oranges in two small boxes + number of oranges remained
= 2x + 10
(a) Look at the following matchstick pattern of squares (Fig 11.6). The squares are not separate. Two neighbouring squares have a common matchstick. Observe the patterns and find the rule that gives the number of matchsticks
in terms of the number of squares. (Hint: If you remove vertical stick at the end, you will get a pattern of Cs)
(b) Fig 11.7 gives a matchstick pattern of triangles. As in Exercise 11 (a) above, find the general rule that gives the number of matchsticks in terms of the number of triangles.
(a) We may observe that in the given matchstick pattern, the number of matchsticks are 4, 7, 10 and 13, which is 1 more than thrice the number of squares in the pattern
Therefore, the pattern is 3x + 1, where x is the number of squares
(b) We may observe that in the given matchstick pattern, the number of matchsticks are 3, 5, 7 and 9, which is 1 more than twice the number of triangles in the pattern.
Therefore, the pattern is 2x + 1, where x is the number of triangles.
Matchstick Patterns
The side of an equilateral triangle is shown by l. Express the perimeter of the equilateral triangle using l.
Side of equilateral triangle = l
Perimeter = l + l + l
= 3l
The side of the regular hexagon (Fig 11.10) is denoted by l. Express the perimeter of the hexagon using l.
(Hint: A regular hexagon has all its six sides equal in length.)
Side of a regular hexagon = l
Perimeter = l + l + l + l + l + 1
= 6l
A cube is a three-dimensional figure, as shown in Fig 11.11. It has six faces, and all of them are identical squares. The length of an edge of the cube is given by l. Find the formula for the total length of the edges of a cube.
Length of an edge of the cube = l
Number of edges = 12
Total length of the edges = Number of edges × Length of an edge
=12l
The diameter of a circle is a line which joins two points on the circle and also passes through the centre of the circle. (In the adjoining figure (Fig 11.2), AB is a diameter of a circle; C is its centre.) Express the diameter of the circle (d) in terms of its radius (r).
Diameter = AB
= AC + CB
= r + r
= 2r
Hence, the diameter of the circle in terms of its radius is 2r.
To find the sum of three numbers, 14, 27 and 13, we can have two ways:
(a) We may first add 14 and 27 to get 41 and then add 13 to it to get the total sum 54 or
(b) We may add 27 and 13 to get 40 and then add 14 to get the sum 54. Thus, (14 + 27) + 13 = 14 + (27 + 13)
For any three whole numbers a, b and c,

Solve the following riddles. You may yourself construct such riddles.
Who am I?
(i) Go round a square
Counting every corner
Thrice and no more!
Add the count to me
To get exactly thirty-four!
(ii) For each day of the week
Make an upcount from me
If you make no mistake
You will get twenty-three!
(iii) I am a special number
Take away from me a six!
A whole cricket team
You will still be able to fix!
(iv) Tell me who I am
I shall give a pretty clue!
You will get me back
If you take me out of twenty-two!
(i) There are 4 corners in a square.
Thrice the number of corners in the square = 3 × 4 = 12
When 12 is added to the number, it becomes 34
So, the number will be the difference of 34 and 12
34 – 12 = 22
(ii) The result was 23 when the old number was up counted on Sunday
The result was 22 when the old number was up counted on Saturday
The result was 21 when the old number was up counted on Friday
The result was 20 when the old number was up counted on Thursday
The result was 19 when the old number was up counted on Wednesday
The result was 18 when the old number was up counted on Tuesday
The result was 17 when the old number was up counted on Monday
`Hence, the number taken at starting was 17 – 1 = 16
(iii) There are 11 players in a cricket team
If 6 is subtracted from a required number, it will be 11
11 + 6 = 17
Hence, the number is 17
(iv) The required number is such that if it is subtracted from 22, the result is the number itself.
The number is 11 because if it is subtracted from 22, the result will be 11 only.
Pick out the solution from the values given in the bracket next to each equation.
Show that the other values do not satisfy the equation.
(a) 5m = 60 (10, 5, 12, 15)
(b) n + 12 (12, 8, 20, 0)
(c) p – 5 = 5 (0, 10, 5 – 5)
(d) q / 2 = 7 (7, 2, 10, 14)
(e) r – 4 = 0 (4, -4, 8, 0)
(f) x + 4 = 2 (-2, 0, 2, 4)
(a) 5m = 60
m = 12 is a solution for this equation because for m = 12,
5m = 5 × 12
= 60
∴ Equation satisfied
m = 10 is not a solution for this equation because for m = 10,
5m = 5 × 10
= 50 and not 60
m = 5 is not a solution for this equation because for m = 5,
5m = 5 × 5
= 25 and not 60
m = 15 is not a solution for this equation because for m = 15,
5m = 5 × 15
= 75 and not 60
(b) n + 12 = 20
n = 8 is a solution for this equation because for n = 8,
