XTU, < XUT + < TXU = 180

i.e. < YTS + 70

^{\circ}

= 180
< XTU = 180 - 110

^{\circ}

= 70

^{\circ}

Also < YTS + < XTU = 180 (< s on a straight line)
i.e. < YTS + < XTU - 180(< s on straight line)
i.e. < YTS + 70

^{\circ}

= 180
< YTS = 180 - 70 = 110

△

SYT + < YST + < YTS = 180

^{\circ}

(Sum of interior < s)
SYT + 40 + 110 = 180
< SYT = 180 - 150 = 30
< SYT = < XYW (vertically opposite < s)
Also < SYX = < TYW (vertically opposite < s)
but < SYT + < XYW + < SYX + < TYW = 360
i.e. 30 + 30 + < SYX + TYW = 360
but < SYX = < TYW
60 + 2(< TYW) = 360
2(< TYW) = 360

2(< TYW) = 300

TYW =

Question 7 Report

An aeroplane flies due north from airport P to Q and then flies due east R. If Q is equidistant from P and R, find the bearing of P and R

Answer Details

Since PQ = QR, Δ PQR is a right angle isosceles triangle

∴ ∠PQR = 45

^{\circ}

=> The bearing of P from R = 180 + 45
= 225

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".

Question 44 Report

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

Question 45 Report

An arc of a circle subtends an angle of \(30^\circ\) on the circumference of a circle of radius 21cm. Find the length of the arc.

11cm

22cm

44cm

66cm

Answer Details

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

^{\circ}

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
