$=\frac{22}{7}\times (2.8)^2$
$=\frac{22}{7}\times \frac{28}{10}\times \frac{28}{10}$
$=\frac{2464}{100}$
=24.64
∴Area to be painted=Total surface of the block-(2×Area of one circular hole)

Question 14
The area of the four walls in a room is $120 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$. The length is twice the breadth. If the height of the room is 4m , find the area of the floor.
Sol :
Let breadth of room =x m
Length of room =2x m
Height of the rm=4 m
The area of the four walls=2(bh+lh)=120
2(x×4+2x×4)=120
2(12x)=120
$x=\frac{120}{4}$=5 m
Breadth=x=5 m ,
Length=2x=2×5=10 m

Question 15
A cube of edge 5 cm is cut into cubes, each of edge 1 cm. Find the ratio of the total surface area of one of small cubes to that of the large cube.
Sol :
Edge of large cube =5 cm

Edge of small cube=1 cm
Area of small cube$=6 \times(a)^{2}=6 \times(1)^{2}$
Area of small cube : Area of large cube $=\frac{6}{150}=\frac{1}{25}$
