4, 16, 30, 20, 10, 14 and 26 are represented on a pie chart. Find the sum of the angles of the bisectors representing all numbers equals to or greater than 16

A.

48o

B.

84o

C.

92o

D.

276o

Correct answer is D

Given that 4, 16, 30, 20, 10, 14 and 26

Adding up = 120

nos 16 are 16 + 30 + 20 + 26 = 92

The requires sum of angles = 92120 x 360o1

= 276o

A cylinder pipe, made of metal is 3cm thick.If the internal radius of the pipe 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 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

The angle of a sector of a circle, radius 10.5cm, is 48°, Calculate the perimeter of the sector

A.

8.8cm

B.

25.4cm

C.

25.6cm

D.

29.8cm

Correct answer is D

Length of Arc AB = \frac{\theta}{360} 2\pir

= \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

P(-6, 1) and Q(6, 6) are the two ends of the diameter of a given circle. Calculate the radius.

A.

6.5 units

B.

13.0 units

C.

3.5 units

D.

7.0 units

Correct answer is A

PQ^2 = (x2 - x1)^2  + (y2 - y1)^2 

= 12^2  + 5^2 
= 144 + 25
= 169

PQ = √169 = 13

But PQ = diameter = 2r, r = PQ/2 = 6.5 units

Three brothers in a business deal share the profit at the end of a contract. The first received \frac{1}{3} of the profit and the second \frac{2}{3} of the remainder. If the third received the remaining N12000.00 how much profit did they share?

A.

N60 000.00

B.

N54 000.00

C.

N48 000.00

D.

N42 000.00

Correct answer is B

use "T" to represent the total profit. The first receives \frac{1}{3} T

remaining, 1 - \frac{1}{3}

= \frac{2}{3}T

The seconds receives the remaining, which is \frac{2}{3} also

\frac{2}{3} x \frac{2}{3} x \frac{4}{9}

The third receives the left over, which is \frac{2}{3}T - \frac{4}{9}T = (\frac{6 - 4}{9})T

= \frac{2}{9}T

The third receives \frac{2}{9}T which is equivalent to N12000

If \frac{2}{9}T = N12, 000

T = \frac{12 000}{\frac{2}{9}}

= N54, 000
