In the diagram above, TR = TS and ?TRS = 60o. Find the value of x
Detalhes da Resposta
Since TR = TS and ?TRS = 60o, then ?TSR = ?TRS = 60o. Therefore, the angles of triangle TSP add up to 180o: ?TPS + ?TSP + ?TSR = 180o. Substituting the known values: x + 60 + 60 = 180. Simplifying: x = 60. Hence, the value of x is 60.

Pergunta 4 Relatório
Three balls are drawn one after the other with replacement, from a bag containing 5 red, 9white and 4 blue identical balls, What is the probability that they are one red, one white and one blue?
Detalhes da Resposta
The probability of drawing one red ball out of 18 balls is 5/18. Similarly, the probability of drawing one white ball is 9/18 (or 1/2) and the probability of drawing one blue ball is 4/18 (or 2/9). Since we are drawing three balls, we can find the probability of getting one red, one white, and one blue by multiplying the probabilities of each event happening together. Since we are drawing with replacement, the probabilities do not change from draw to draw. Thus, the probability of getting one red, one white, and one blue is: (5/18) x (1/2) x (2/9) = 5/162 Therefore, the answer is option C: 5/162.
Pergunta 5 Relatório
What is the probability of throwing a number greater than 2 with a single fair die
Detalhes da Resposta
The total number of outcomes when rolling a fair die is 6 since there are six sides on the die. The numbers that are greater than 2 are 3, 4, 5, and 6. So, there are four possible outcomes that are greater than 2. The probability of getting a number greater than 2 with a single fair die is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes, which is 4/6 or 2/3. Therefore, the answer is (d) 2/3.

Pergunta 7 Relatório
In the diagram above, O is the center of the circle QOR is a diameter and ?PSR is 37°. Find ?PRQ
Detalhes da Resposta
Since QOR is a diameter, it divides the circle into two equal halves, which means that ?QOR is a right angle (90°). Thus, we have: ?PQR = 180° - ?QOR (sum of angles in a triangle) ?PQR = 180° - 90° (since ?QOR is a right angle) ?PQR = 90° Now, we have a right triangle PQR with right angle at Q. Since we know that ?PSR is 37°, we can use the fact that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180° to find ?PRQ: ?PQR + ?QPR + ?PRQ = 180° 90° + ?QPR + 37° = 180° ?QPR = 180° - 90° - 37° ?QPR = 53° Therefore, the answer is 53°.

Evaluate \(\log_{10} 25 + \log_{10} 32 - \log_{10} 8\)
Detalhes da Resposta
We can use the following property of logarithms: - \(\log_{a}b + \log_{a}c = \log_{a}(bc)\) - \(\log_{a}b - \log_{a}c = \log_{a}\left(\dfrac{b}{c}\right)\) Using this property, we can rewrite the expression as: \begin{align*} \log_{10} 25 + \log_{10} 32 - \log_{10} 8 &= \log_{10}(25\cdot 32) - \log_{10} 8 \\ &= \log_{10}(800) - \log_{10} 8 \\ &= \log_{10}\left(\frac{800}{8}\right) \\ &= \log_{10}(100) \\ &= 2 \end{align*} Therefore, the value of the expression is 2. Thus, the answer is (2).
Pergunta 13 Relatório
Let U = {1, 2, 3, 4}, P = {2, 3} and Q = {2, 4}. What is (P∩Q)'?
Detalhes da Resposta
In set theory, the symbol ∩ denotes the intersection of two sets, meaning the set of elements that are in both sets. Therefore, P∩Q denotes the set of elements that are in both P and Q, which is {2}. The complement of a set A, denoted by A', is the set of elements that are not in A but are in the universal set U. Therefore, (P∩Q)' denotes the set of elements that are in U but are not in P∩Q, which is {1, 3, 4}. Thus, the correct answer is: (1, 3, 4).

The area of a parallelogram is 513cm\(^2\) and the height is 19cm. Calculate the base.
Detalhes da Resposta
The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula: Area = base × height In this problem, the area and height of the parallelogram are given as 513cm\(^2\) and 19cm respectively. We can rearrange the formula to solve for the base: base = Area ÷ height Substituting the given values, we get: base = 513cm\(^2\) ÷ 19cm = 27cm Therefore, the base of the parallelogram is 27cm. The answer is, 27cm.

Points X and Y are respectively 12m Nonh and
5m of point Z. Calculate XY
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the distance between points X and Y, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that for a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. In this case, we can consider points X, Y, and Z as the vertices of a right triangle, where the right angle is at point Z. Then, XY is the hypotenuse, and we know that XZ = 12m and YZ = 5m. Therefore, we have: XY^2 = XZ^2 + YZ^2 XY^2 = 12^2 + 5^2 XY^2 = 144 + 25 XY^2 = 169 XY = √169 XY = 13m Therefore, the distance between points X and Y is 13m. So the answer is option (C) 13m.

Simplify (3/4 + 1/3) x 41/3 + 31/4
Detalhes da Resposta
To simplify this expression, we need to follow the order of operations, which is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction (PEMDAS). First, we can simplify the expression inside the parentheses: (3/4 + 1/3) x 41/3 + 31/4 = (9/12 + 4/12) x 41/3 + 31/4 = 13/12 x 41/3 + 31/4 Next, we can simplify the exponent 41/3. To do this, we can convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: 41/3 = (4 x 3) + 1/3 = 13/3 Now we can substitute the value of 41/3 into the expression: 13/12 x 41/3 + 31/4 = 13/12 x 13/3 + 13/4 To simplify this, we can first simplify the multiplication of fractions: 13/12 x 13/3 = 169/36 Now we can add the two fractions: 169/36 + 13/4 = 169/36 + 39/36 = 208/36 = 13}{9 Therefore, the simplified expression is 13}{9, which corresponds to option (E).

If a worker is retrenched, what is the probability that he is a plumber or plasterer.
Detalhes da Resposta
To calculate the probability that a retrenched worker is a plumber or plasterer, we need to first find the total number of workers in the company, and then find the number of workers who are plumbers or plasterers. The total number of workers in the company is: 24 (Carpenters) + 27 (Labourers) + 12 (Plumbers) + 15 (Plasterers) + 9 (Painters) + 3 (Messengers) + 18 (Bricklayers) = 108 The number of workers who are plumbers or plasterers is: 12 (Plumbers) + 15 (Plasterers) = 27 Therefore, the probability that a retrenched worker is a plumber or plasterer is: 27 (number of plumbers and plasterers) / 108 (total number of workers) = 1/4 So the correct answer is option D: 1/4.
Pergunta 19 Relatório
Find the value of t in the diagram above
Detalhes da Resposta
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find that the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle on the left is: $$\sqrt{5^2+12^2} = 13$$ Since the triangle on the right is similar to the triangle on the left, we can set up the following proportion: $$\frac{5}{12} = \frac{t}{13}$$ Cross-multiplying, we get: $$12t = 65$$ Therefore: $$t = \frac{65}{12} \approx 5.4$$ So the answer is closest to 5.6cm. Therefore the correct option is (A).

72o, 71o, 70o, 78o, 73o. Find the mode
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the mode of the given set of data, we need to identify the value that appears most frequently. From the given set of measurements, we can see that 72o appears 4 times, which is more than any other value. Therefore, the mode of the data set is 72o. So, the correct option is (e) 72o.

Write as a single fraction \(\frac{1}{1 - x} + \frac{2}{1 + x}\)
Detalhes da Resposta
To add the fractions \(\frac{1}{1-x}\) and \(\frac{2}{1+x}\), we need to have a common denominator. We can obtain this by multiplying the first fraction by \((1+x)/(1+x)\) and the second fraction by \((1-x)/(1-x)\). This gives us: $$ \frac{1}{1-x} \cdot \frac{1+x}{1+x} + \frac{2}{1+x} \cdot \frac{1-x}{1-x} = \frac{1+x}{1-x^2} + \frac{2(1-x)}{1-x^2} $$ Combining the two fractions gives us: $$ \frac{1+x+2(1-x)}{1-x^2} = \frac{3-x}{1-x^2} $$ Therefore, the single fraction is \(\boxed{\frac{3-x}{1-x^2}}\).

A fair die is rolled once. What is the probability of
obtaining 4 or 6?
Detalhes da Resposta
When you roll a fair die, there are six possible outcomes, each with an equal chance of occurring. These outcomes are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. To find the probability of obtaining 4 or 6, we need to count how many of the outcomes correspond to these numbers. In this case, there are two outcomes that satisfy the condition, namely 4 and 6. Therefore, the probability of obtaining 4 or 6 is 2 out of 6, or 2/6. We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2. This gives us 1/3. Therefore, the probability of obtaining 4 or 6 when rolling a fair die is 1/3.

What must be added to the expression x\(^2\) - 18x to make it a perfect square?
Detalhes da Resposta
To make the expression x\(^2\) - 18x a perfect square, we need to add a constant term. The constant term should be half of the coefficient of x squared, which is (18/2)\(^2\) = 81. Therefore, we need to add 81 to the expression to make it a perfect square. Adding 81 to the expression gives: x\(^2\) - 18x + 81 = (x - 9)\(^2\) Thus, the answer is 81.

Detalhes da Resposta
There are 10 numbers in the set (1, 2, 3, ..., 9, 10). Out of these, the numbers that are greater than or equal to 7 are 7, 8, 9, and 10. So, there are 4 numbers that satisfy the given condition. Therefore, the probability of choosing a number that is greater than or equal to 7 is the number of numbers that satisfy the condition divided by the total number of numbers in the set, which is: 4/10 = 2/5 Hence, the probability that the number chosen at random from the set (1, 2, 3, ..., 9, 10) is greater than or equal to 7 is 2/5.

Solve the equation \(\frac{m}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{m}{4}\)
Detalhes da Resposta
First, we simplify both sides of the equation by getting rid of the fractions. To do this, we can multiply both sides by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which is 12. So we have: \begin{align*} \frac{m}{3} + \frac{1}{2} &= \frac{3}{4} + \frac{m}{4}\\ 4 \cdot \left(\frac{m}{3} + \frac{1}{2}\right) &= 4 \cdot \left(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{m}{4}\right)\\ \frac{4m}{3} + 2 &= \frac{9}{4} + \frac{m}{4} \end{align*} Next, we can simplify further by moving all the terms involving m to one side of the equation, and all the constant terms to the other side: \begin{align*} \frac{4m}{3} - \frac{m}{4} &= \frac{9}{4} - 2\\ \frac{16m}{12} - \frac{3m}{12} &= \frac{9}{4} - \frac{8}{4}\\ \frac{13m}{12} &= \frac{1}{4}\\ 13m &= 3\\ m &= \frac{3}{13} \end{align*} Therefore, the solution to the equation is \(m = \frac{3}{13}\). So the correct answer is 3.

Simplify: \((\frac{16}{81})^{\frac{1}{4}}\)
Detalhes da Resposta
To simplify \((\frac{16}{81})^{\frac{1}{4}}\), we need to take the fourth root of \(\frac{16}{81}\). The fourth root of a number is the number that, when multiplied by itself four times, gives that number. So, to find the fourth root of \(\frac{16}{81}\), we need to find a number that, when multiplied by itself four times, gives \(\frac{16}{81}\). We can rewrite \(\frac{16}{81}\) as \((\frac{2}{3})^4\), since \(2^4=16\) and \(3^4=81\). Therefore, \((\frac{16}{81})^{\frac{1}{4}} = ((\frac{2}{3})^4)^{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{2}{3}\), which is.

The angle of a sector of a circle of radius 8cm is 240°. This sector is bent to form a cone. Find the radius of the base of the cone.
Detalhes da Resposta
The sector of the circle with an angle of 240° forms a cone. To find the radius of the base of the cone, we need to use the formula relating the arc length of the sector and the circumference of the base of the cone. The arc length of the sector is (240/360) * 2π * 8 = (4/3) * π * 8 = (32/3)π cm. The circumference of the base of the cone is equal to the arc length of the sector, so it is (32/3)π cm. We know that the circumference of a circle is equal to 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. Therefore, we can write: (32/3)π = 2πr Simplifying the equation, we get: r = (16/3) cm So, the radius of the base of the cone is 16/3 cm. Therefore, the correct option is: 16/3cm

The value of tan 315°
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the value of tan 315°, we can use the identity: tan (θ + 180°) = tan θ Since tan (315° + 180°) = tan 495°, and 495° is coterminal with 135°, we have: tan 315° = tan (135° + 180°) = tan 135° Using the fact that tan 45° = 1, and tan (θ + 90°) = -cot θ, we have: tan 135° = tan (45° + 90°) = -cot 45° = -1 Therefore, the value of tan 315° is -1.

Detalhes da Resposta
The total number of workers in the company is 24+27+12+15+9+3+18 = 108. The probability of an absent worker being a bricklayer is the ratio of the number of bricklayers to the total number of workers, which is 18/108 = 1/6. Therefore, the probability that the absent worker is a bricklayer is 1/6. Answer: 1/6.

If cos θ = 5/13, what is the value of tan \(\theta\) for 0 < θ < 90° ?
Detalhes da Resposta
We can use the following trigonometric identity: \[\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}\] We are given that $\cos \theta = 5/13$. To find $\sin \theta$, we can use the Pythagorean identity: \[\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\] Substituting $\cos \theta = 5/13$, we get: \[\sin^2 \theta + \left(\frac{5}{13}\right)^2 = 1\] Simplifying, we get: \[\sin^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{25}{169} = \frac{144}{169}\] Taking the square root of both sides, we get: \[\sin \theta = \frac{12}{13}\] Substituting into the formula for $\tan \theta$, we get: \[\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{\frac{12}{13}}{\frac{5}{13}} = \boxed{\frac{12}{5}}\]
Pergunta 45 Relatório
A bricklayer measured the length of a wall and obtained 4.10m. If the actual length of the wall is 4.25m, find his percentage error.
Detalhes da Resposta
To find the percentage error, we need to find the absolute difference between the measured value and actual value, divide it by the actual value, and then multiply by 100 to get a percentage. Absolute difference = |actual value - measured value| = |4.25 - 4.10| = 0.15 Percentage error = (|actual value - measured value| / actual value) x 100% Percentage error = (0.15 / 4.25) x 100% = 3.529% (rounded to 3 decimal places) Therefore, the percentage error is approximately 3.529%, which corresponds to 3 9/17%.
