Ondo | 126 |
Oyo | 154 |
In a pie chart drawn to represent this distribution, the angle subtended by Ondo is
Maelezo ya Majibu
To find the angle subtended by Ondo in the pie chart, we need to first calculate the total number of students in the Faculty of Science. Total number of students = 45 + 410 + 105 + 126 + 154 = 840 Next, we need to find the percentage of students from Ondo: Percentage of students from Ondo = (Number of students from Ondo / Total number of students) x 100 = (126/840) x 100 = 15 Since there are five states in total, and the pie chart represents 360 degrees, we can find the angle subtended by Ondo as follows: Angle subtended by Ondo = (Percentage of students from Ondo / 100) x 360 = (15/100) x 360 = 54 degrees Therefore, the answer is (e) 54o.

A stick of length 1.75m was measured by a boy as 1.80m. Find the percentage error in his measurement
Maelezo ya Majibu
To find the percentage error, we need to first calculate the absolute error which is the difference between the measured value and the actual value. Absolute error = |1.80 - 1.75| = 0.05m Then, we can calculate the percentage error using the formula: Percentage error = (Absolute error / Actual value) x 100% Percentage error = (0.05 / 1.75) x 100% = 2.86% Therefore, the percentage error in the boy's measurement is approximately 2.86%. The closest option to this value is 26/7%.

What is the probability that the total sum of seven would appear in toss of a fair die?
Maelezo ya Majibu
When a fair die is rolled, there are 6 possible outcomes, each with an equal probability of 1/6. The only way to obtain a sum of 7 is by rolling a combination of (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), or (6,1). That means there are 6 possible ways to get a sum of 7 out of 36 possible outcomes. Therefore, the probability of obtaining a sum of 7 is 6/36, which simplifies to 1/6. So the answer is: 1/6.

Calculate the total surface area of a cone of height 12cm and base radius 5cm. [Take π = 22/7]
Maelezo ya Majibu
To find the total surface area of a cone, we need to add the area of the base and the curved surface area. Given that the base radius is 5cm, we can find the base area by using the formula for the area of a circle: Area of base = πr² = π(5)² = 25π To find the curved surface area, we need to first find the slant height of the cone. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find this value: l = √(r² + h²) = √(5² + 12²) = √169 = 13cm Now, we can find the curved surface area using the formula: Curved surface area = πrl Curved surface area = π(5)(13) = 65π Therefore, the total surface area of the cone is: Total surface area = Base area + Curved surface area Total surface area = 25π + 65π = 90π Using the approximation π = 22/7, we get: Total surface area = 90π = 90(22/7) = 282.8571... cm² Rounding off to one decimal place, we get: Total surface area ≈ 282.9 cm² Therefore, the correct option is 4) 282 6/7cm².

If sin x = 12/13, where 0° < x < 90°, find the value of 1 - cos\(^2\)x
Maelezo ya Majibu
We know that sin x = opposite/hypotenuse = 12/13, therefore, the adjacent side of the right-angled triangle is √(13^2 - 12^2) = 5. Now, we need to find the value of 1 - cos^2x. Using the identity sin^2x + cos^2x = 1, we can write: cos^2x = 1 - sin^2x Substituting sin x = 12/13, we get: cos^2x = 1 - (12/13)^2 cos^2x = 1 - 144/169 cos^2x = 25/169 Therefore, 1 - cos^2x = 1 - 25/169 = 144/169. Hence, the answer is (d) 144/169.

What is the probability of obtaining a number less than 3 ?
Maelezo ya Majibu
To find the probability of obtaining a number less than 3, we need to add up the number of times the die rolled a 1 or a 2, since these are the numbers less than 3. From the table, we see that the number of times the die rolled a 1 is 25 and the number of times it rolled a 2 is 30. So the total number of times the die rolled a number less than 3 is: 25 + 30 = 55 Therefore, the probability of obtaining a number less than 3 is: 55/200 = 0.275 So the answer is option C: 0.275.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The area of a rhombus is half the product of the lengths of its diagonals. Therefore, if we know the area of the rhombus and one of its diagonals, we can use this formula to find the length of the other diagonal. Let's call the length of the first diagonal 12 cm, and let's call the length of the other diagonal d cm. The area of the rhombus is given as 60 cm\(^2\). We can write the formula for the area of a rhombus as: Area = (1/2) x (diagonal 1) x (diagonal 2) Substituting the values we know, we get: 60 = (1/2) x 12 x d Simplifying this equation, we get: 60 = 6d Dividing both sides by 6, we get: d = 10 Therefore, the length of the other diagonal is 10 cm. So, the answer is option C - 10cm.

Maelezo ya Majibu
To add or subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. Here, we have denominators of 6r and 4r. The least common multiple (LCM) of 6r and 4r is 12r. So, we need to convert each fraction so that it has a denominator of 12r. \(\frac{5}{6r} - \frac{3}{4r} = \frac{5 \cdot 4}{6r \cdot 4} - \frac{3 \cdot 3}{4r \cdot 3}\) Simplifying the resulting fractions, we get: \(\frac{20}{24r} - \frac{9}{12r} = \frac{20}{24r} - \frac{18}{24r}\) Now, we can combine the fractions by subtracting the numerators and keeping the same denominator: \(\frac{20}{24r} - \frac{18}{24r} = \frac{2}{24r}\) Finally, we can simplify the resulting fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 2: \(\frac{2}{24r} = \frac{1}{12r}\) Therefore, the answer is:

Factorize 2x\(^2\) - 21x + 45
Maelezo ya Majibu
To factorize 2x\(^2\) - 21x + 45, we need to find two numbers that multiply to give 2\(\times\)45 = 90 and add to give -21. Let's factorize 90 to find such numbers: 90 = 1\(\times\)90 = 2\(\times\)45 = 3\(\times\)30 = 5\(\times\)18 = 6\(\times\)15 Out of these, the pair that adds up to -21 is 6 and 15. So, we can rewrite the expression as: 2x\(^2\) - 21x + 45 = 2x\(^2\) - 6x - 15x + 45 Now, we can group the first two terms and the last two terms separately and factorize them using the distributive law. That gives us: 2x\(^2\) - 6x - 15x + 45 = 2x(x - 3) - 15(x - 3) Notice that we have a common factor of (x - 3) in both terms. We can factor it out to get the final answer: 2x\(^2\) - 21x + 45 = (x - 3)(2x - 15) Therefore, the correct answer is (x - 3)(2x - 15).
