LX = 30o
XWY = 180o - 120o + 30o
XWY = 30o
WXY = XYW = 30o
Side XY = YW
YW = 8m, sin 60o = $\frac{3}{2}$

If the length of a square is increased by 20% while while its width is decreased by 20% to form a rectangle, what is the ratio of the area of the rectangle to the area of the square?

6 : 5

25 : 24

5 : 6

24 : 25

Answer Details

Length and width of a square is 100%
Length increased by 20% and
Width decreased by 20% to form a rectangle
Length of rectangle = 120% to form a rectangle
Length of rectangle = 120% and
Width of rectangle = 80%
Area of rectangle = L x W
Area of square = W
Ratio of the area of the rectangle to the area of the square
A = $\frac{Area of rectangle}{Area of square}$
$\frac{120 \times 30}{100 \times 100}$ = $\frac{96}{100}$
= 24 : 25

Taking the period of day light on a certain day to be from 5.30a.m to 7.00p.m. Calculate the angle of a pie chart designed to show the periods of the day light and of darkness on that day

187o30' 172o30'

135o225'

202o30' 157o30'

195o165'

Answer Details

Period of day light is from 5.30 to 7.00p.m - 13hrs 30min. interval
24hrs make 1 day
∴ period of darkness = 24hrs - 13hrs 30mins = 10hrs 30mins.
Angle of sector of daylight = $\frac{13 \times 60 + 30 \times 360}{(24 \times 60)}$
= $\frac{810}{1440}$ x 360o
= $\frac{291600}{1440}$
= 202.5o
202.5o = 202.30o
darkness period = 360o - 202o 30'
= 157o30'

Answer Details

210o = 180o - 210o = 30o
From ratio of sides, sin -30o = - $\frac{1}{2}$
Cos 210o = 180o - 210o = -30o
= cos -30o = $\frac{- 3}{2}$
But tan 30o = $\frac{1}{3}$ , rationalizing this
= $\frac{1}{3}$ x $\frac{3}{3}$ = $\frac{3}{3}$
∴ = $\frac{- 1}{2}$ , $\frac{\sqrt{- 3}}{2}$ , $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Three angles of a nonagon are equal and the sum of six other angles is 1110o. Calculate the size of one of the equal angles.

210o

150o

105o

50o

Answer Details

Sum of interior angles of any polygon is (2n - 4) right angle; n angles of the Monagon = 9
Where 3 are equal and 6 other angles = 1110o
(2 x 9 - 4)90o = (18 - 4)90o
14 x 90o = 1260o
9 angles = 12600, 6 angles = 110o
Remaining 3 angles = 1260o - 1110o = 150o
Size of one of the 3 angles $\frac{150}{3}$ = 50o

8%

10%

12%

15%

Answer Details

profit 8% of ₦1.35 = $\frac{8}{100}$ x ₦1.35 = ₦0.08
Cost price = ₦1.35 - ₦0.10 = ₦1.25
If he sells the 20 oranges for ₦1.10 now
%loss = $\frac{actual loss}{Cost price}$ x 100
$\frac{125 - 1.10}{1.25}$ x 100
= $\frac{0.15 \times 100}{1.25}$
= $\frac{15}{1.25}$

P = $\frac{2 + 2 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 12 + 14}{8}$
$\frac{60}{8}$ = 7.5
median (Q) = $\frac{7 + 8}{2}$
$\frac{15}{2}$ = 7.5
P + Q = 7.5 + 7.5 = 15

Question 42 Report

Find the values of m which make the following quadratic function a perfect square. x2 + 2(m + 1)x + m + 3

-1, 1

-1, 2

1, -2

2, -2

Answer Details

x2 + 2(m + 1)x + m + 3 from (A + B)2 = a2 + 2AB + b2
2B = $\frac{2 (m + 1)}{2}$ = m + 1 .......(i)
Also B2 = m + 3..........(ii)
Subst. for B in equation ..........(iii)
= (m + 1)2 = m + 3 = m2 + 2m + 1 = m + 3
= m2 + 2m - m + 1 - 3 = 0
m2 + m - 2 = 0
(m + 2)(m - 1) = 0 or m - 1 = 0
m = -2 or 1

Question 43 Report

The goals scored by 40 football teams from three league divisions are recorded below:

Number of goals	0	1	2	3	4	5	6
frequency	4	3	15	16	1	0	1

What is the total number of goals scored by all the terms?

21

40

91

96

Answer Details

Let x rep. number of goals
$\begin{array}{cc} " f & " & f r e q u e n c y \\ x & f & f x \\ 0 & 4 & 0 \\ 1 & 3 & 3 \\ 2 & 15 & 30 \\ 3 & 16 & 48 \\ 4 & 1 & 4 \\ 5 & 0 & 0 \\ 6 & 1 & 6 \end{array}$
$\sum f x$ = 91
Total number of goals scored is $\sum f x$ = 91
