If the heights of two circular cylinder are in the ratio 2 : 3 and their volumes?

A.

27 : 32

B.

27 : 23

C.

23 : 32

D.

27 : 23

Correct answer is A

h1h2 = 23

h2 = 2h13

r1r2 = 98

r2 = 9r18

v1 = π(9r18)2(2h13)

= πr1 2h1 x 2732

v = πr12h1×2732πr12h1 = 2732

v2 : v1 = 27 : 32

A cylinder pipe, made of metal is 3cm thick.If the internal radius of the pope is 10cm.Find the volume of metal used in making 3m of the pipe.

A.

153πcm3

B.

207πcm3

C.

15 300πcm3

D.

20 700πcm3

Correct answer is D

Volume of a cylinder = πr2h

First convert 3m to cm by multiplying by 100

Volume of External cylinder = π \times 132 \times 300

Volume of Internal cylinder = π \times 102 \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 = 20700πcm3

If Cos θ = 1213. Find θ + cos2θ

A.

16925

B.

25169

C.

169144

D.

144169

Correct answer is A

Cos θ = 1213

x2 + 122 = 132

x2 = 169- 144 = 25

x = 25

= 5

Hence, tanθ = 512 and cosθ = 1213

If cos2θ = 1 + 1tan2θ

= 1 + 1(5)212

= 1 + 125144

= 1 + 14425

= 25+14425

= 16925

Each of the interior angles of a regular polygon is 140°. How many sides has the polygon?

A.

9

B.

8

C.

7

D.

5

Correct answer is A

For a regular polygon of n sides

n = 360Exterior angle

Exterior < = 180° - 140°

= 40°

n = 36040

= 9 sides
