Question 1 Report

On the pie chart, there are four sectors of which three angles are \(45^\circ\), \(90^\circ\) and \(135^\circ\). If the smallest sector represents N28.00, how much is the largest sector?

N96.00

N84.00

N48.00

N42.00

Answer Details

To solve this problem, we need to first find the total angle of the pie chart, which is always 360∘. Next, we need to determine the value of one degree of the pie chart. We can do this by dividing the value of the smallest sector (N28.00) by its corresponding angle (45∘): N28.00 ÷ 45∘ = N0.62 per degree Now that we know the value of one degree, we can use it to find the value of the largest sector, which has an angle of 135∘: N0.62 × 135∘ = N83.70 Therefore, the largest sector represents N83.70, which is closest to the option N84.00.

66cm

Answer Details

θ = 30 x 2(∠ at center twice ∠ at θ)
∴ θ = 60

Length of arc =

\frac{θ}{360} \times 2 π r = \frac{60}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{21}{1} = 22 c m

Answer Details

To solve the system of inequalities 4x - 7 ≤ y ≤ 3x and 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x, we can use the following steps: 1. For the first inequality, isolate y in the middle by adding 7 to both sides: 4x - 7 + 7 ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7, which simplifies to 4x ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7. 2. For the second inequality, isolate y in the middle by adding 4 to both sides: 3x - 4 + 4 ≤ y + 4 ≤ 4x + 4, which simplifies to 3x ≤ y + 4 ≤ 4x + 4. 3. We want to find the range of values of x that satisfy both inequalities. To do this, we need to find the intersection of the two intervals [4x, 3x + 7] and [3x, 4x + 4] for y. 4. We start by finding the maximum lower bound of the two intervals. The lower bound of [4x, 3x + 7] is 4x, and the lower bound of [3x, 4x + 4] is 4x. So the maximum lower bound is 4x. 5. We then find the minimum upper bound of the two intervals. The upper bound of [4x, 3x + 7] is 3x + 7, and the upper bound of [3x, 4x + 4] is 4x + 4. So the minimum upper bound is 3x + 7. 6. Therefore, the range of values of x that satisfy both inequalities is 4x ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7 and 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x, which simplifies to 4x ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7 and 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x. 7. To solve for x, we can use the second inequality: 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x. We can substitute the upper bound of y with 4x and the lower bound of y with 3x - 4 to get 3x - 4 ≤ 3x - 4 ≤ x ≤ 4x. Therefore, the range of values of x that satisfy both inequalities is -4 ≤ x ≤ 7. Therefore, the correct option is "-4 ≤ x ≤ 7".

Find the range of the value of \(x\) satisfying the inequalities \(5 + x \le 8\) and \(13 + x \ge 7\)

-3 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 3

3 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 6

-6 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 3

-6 $\leq$ x $\leq$ -3

Answer Details

5 + x $\leq$ 8 and 13 + x $\geq$ 7
5 + x $\leq$ 8
X $\leq$ 8 – 5
X $\leq$ 3
And 13 + x $\geq$ 7
X $\geq$ 7 – 15
X $\geq$ -7
Combining the two together
-6 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 3
