153\(\pi\)cm3
207\(\pi\)cm3
15 300\(\pi\)cm3
20 700\(\pi\)cm3
Correct answer is D
Volume of a cylinder = πr\(^2\)h
First convert 3m to cm by multiplying by 100
Volume of External cylinder = π \times 13\(^2\) \times 300
Volume of Internal cylinder = π \times 10\(^2\) \times 300
Hence; Volume of External cylinder - Volume of Internal cylinder
Total volume (v) = π (169 - 100) \times 300
V = π \times 69 \times 300
V = 20700πcm\(^3\)
If Cos \(\theta\) = \(\frac{12}{13}\). Find \(\theta\) + cos2\(\theta\)
\(\frac{169}{25}\)
\(\frac{25}{169}\)
\(\frac{169}{144}\)
\(\frac{144}{169}\)
Correct answer is A
Cos \(\theta\) = \(\frac{12}{13}\)
x2 + 122 = 132
x2 = 169- 144 = 25
x = 25
= 5
Hence, tan\(\theta\) = \(\frac{5}{12}\) and cos\(\theta\) = \(\frac{12}{13}\)
If cos2\(\theta\) = 1 + \(\frac{1}{tan^2\theta}\)
= 1 + \(\frac{1}{\frac{(5)^2}{12}}\)
= 1 + \(\frac{1}{\frac{25}{144}}\)
= 1 + \(\frac{144}{25}\)
= \(\frac{25 + 144}{25}\)
= \(\frac{169}{25}\)
Each of the interior angles of a regular polygon is 140°. How many sides has the polygon?
9
8
7
5
Correct answer is A
For a regular polygon of n sides
n = \(\frac{360}{\text{Exterior angle}}\)
Exterior < = 180° - 140°
= 40°
n = \(\frac{360}{40}\)
= 9 sides
Find the length of a side of a rhombus whose diagonals are 6cm and 8cm
8cm
5cm
4cm
3cm
Correct answer is B
The diagonal of a rhombus is a line segment that joins any two non-adjacent vertices.
A rhombus has two diagonals that bisect each other at right angles.
i.e this splits 6cm into 3cm each AND 8cm to 4cm
Using Hyp\(^2\) = adj\(^2\) + opp\(^2\)
Hyp\(^2\) = 3\(^2\) + 4\(^2\)
Hyp\(^2\) = 25
Hyp = 5
∴ Length (L) is 5cm because a rhombus is a quadrilateral with 4 equal lengths
The angle of a sector of s circle, radius 10.5cm, is 48°, Calculate the perimeter of the sector
8.8cm
25.4cm
25.6cm
29.8cm
Correct answer is D
Length of Arc AB = \(\frac{\theta}{360}\) 2\(\pi\)r
= \(\frac{48}{360}\) x 2\(\frac{22}{7}\) x \(\frac{21}{2}\)
= \(\frac{4 \times 22 \times \times 3}{30}\) \(\frac{88}{10}\) = 8.8cm
Perimeter = 8.8 + 2r
= 8.8 + 2(10.5)
= 8.8 + 21
= 29.8cm
