12.5) Which of the following is true about an isosceles triangle?

  1. Two of its angles are equal but the three sides are not equal.
  2. Two angles are equal and the opposite sides to the equal angles are equal.
  3. Two sides are equal but all the angles are different.
View Solution

The correct answer is b). To be precise: an isosceles triangle has two sides that are equal in length, and the angles opposite to those equal sides are also equal in measure.

12.6) Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 10 cm and a width of 5 cm.

View Solution

Perimeter \(= 2 \times \text{Length} + 2 \times \text{Width} = 2(10) + 2(5) = 20 + 10 = \mathbf{30 \text{ cm}}\).

12.7) Calculate the area of a circle of radius 1 m.

View Solution

Area \(= \pi \times r^2 \approx 3.14 \times (1)^2 = \mathbf{3.14 \text{ square meters}}\).

12.8) ABCD is a rectangle bounded on the left side by segment AE. Find the area of the shaded (in blue) surface given that the length of segment DE is equal to 2 cm.

Rectangle with a Right Triangle
View Solution

Area of the entire rectangle ABCD \(= \text{length} \times \text{width} = 10 \times 7 = 70 \text{ cm}^2\).

Area of the unshaded right triangle ADE \(= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 7 = 7 \text{ cm}^2\).

Area of the shaded region \(= \text{Total Area} - \text{Triangle Area} = 70 - 7 = \mathbf{63 \text{ cm}^2}\).

13.1) Determine the number of edges and faces of the truncated pyramid shown below.

Truncated Pyramid
View Solution

Number of edges = 4 (top) + 4 (bottom) + 4 (sides) = 12 edges.

Number of faces = 1 (top) + 1 (bottom) + 4 (sides) = 6 faces.

13.2) Given the rectangular prism below:

Rectangular Prism
  1. Find the area of the rectangles ABCD, ADHE and DCGH.
  2. Find the surface area of the rectangular prism.
  3. Find the volume of the rectangular prism.
View Solution
  1. Area ABCD (top) \(= 6 \times 4 = \mathbf{24 \text{ sq units}}\)
    Area ADHE (side) \(= 4 \times 10 = \mathbf{40 \text{ sq units}}\)
    Area DCGH (front) \(= 6 \times 10 = \mathbf{60 \text{ sq units}}\)
  2. Surface area is twice the sum of the three distinct faces:
    \(SA = 2 \times (24 + 40 + 60) = 2 \times 124 = \mathbf{248 \text{ sq units}}\).
  3. Volume \(= \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} = 6 \times 4 \times 10 = \mathbf{240 \text{ cubic units}}\).

13.3) Given that the volume of the triangular prism below is 24, find its total surface area.

Triangular Prism
View Solution

First, find the area of the triangular base. It is a right triangle with legs 3 and 4:
Area of base \(a = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4 = 6\).

The volume is the area of the base times the length of the prism (\(AF\)):
\(24 = 6 \times AF \implies AF = 4\).

The total surface area is the sum of the two triangular bases and the three rectangular faces:
Two bases: \(6 + 6 = 12\).
Three rectangles: \((4 \times 4) + (3 \times 4) + (5 \times 4) = 16 + 12 + 20 = 48\).

Total Surface Area \(= 12 + 48 = \mathbf{60 \text{ sq units}}\).

14.1) The number of hours Harry spent training for his soccer match during 5 days of the week are shown in the line plot below. How many hours did Harry spend training for his match during the week?

Line Plot Hours of Training
View Solution

Add the hours for each day: 3 (Mon) + 3 (Tue) + 2 (Wed) + 4 (Thu) + 3 (Fri).

Total \(= 3 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 3 = \mathbf{15 \text{ hours}}\).

14.2) The number of students (on the vertical axis) and the range of scores (on the horizontal axis) on an English test are shown in the histogram below.

Histogram Grades English Test
  1. How many students scored in the range 90-99?
  2. How many more students scored in the range 80-89 than students who scored in the range 60-69?
View Solution
  1. From the histogram, 3 students scored in the 90-99 range.
  2. 7 students scored 80-89, and 4 students scored 60-69.
    Difference \(= 7 - 4 = \) 3 more students.

15 - Statistics

15.1) Calculate the range, mean, mode and median of the data set: \( \{ 1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 2, 7 \} \)

View Solution

First, order the data: \(1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 7\)

  • Range: Largest value - Smallest value \(= 7 - 1 = \mathbf{6}\).
  • Mean: \(\frac{1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 7}{7} = \frac{21}{7} = \mathbf{3}\).
  • Mode: The most frequent value is 2 (appears three times).
  • Median: The middle value in the ordered list is 2.

16 - Probabilities

16.1) Which of the following cannot be a measure of probability?

  1. 1
  2. -0.5
  3. 2
  4. 0
  5. 0.0001
View Solution

Probability must always be a number between 0 and 1 (inclusive). Therefore, b) -0.5 and c) 2 cannot be probabilities.

16.2) Probability Outcomes:

  1. How many outcomes are possible if you flip a coin?
  2. How many outcomes are possible if you select one of five different cards at random?
  3. How many outcomes are possible if you flip a coin and select one of five different cards at random?
View Solution
  1. Flipping a coin has 2 outcomes (heads, tails).
  2. Selecting from 5 cards has 5 outcomes.
  3. Doing both creates \(2 \times 5 =\) 10 possible outcomes.

16.3) Die Roll Probability:

  1. What are all the possible outcomes if you roll a fair die with numbers from 1 to 6 on the 6 faces?
  2. When you roll a fair die, what is the probability that the number obtained is equal to 0?
  3. What is the probability that the number obtained is equal to 5?
  4. What is the probability that the number obtained is greater than 4?
View Solution
  1. The 6 possible outcomes are: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
  2. 0 is not on a standard die, so the probability is 0.
  3. There is one 5, so the probability is \(\dfrac{1}{6}\).
  4. The numbers greater than 4 are 5 and 6 (two outcomes). The probability is \(\dfrac{2}{6} = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{3}}\).
