Question 1 Report

A trapezium has two parallel sides of length 5cm and 9cm. If the area is 21cm2, find the distance between the parallel sides

3 cm

4 cm

6 cm

7 cm

Answer Details

The area of a trapezium is given by the formula A = (1/2)(a+b)h, where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides, and h is the perpendicular distance between them. In this question, we are given that the parallel sides have lengths 5cm and 9cm, and the area is 21cm^2. We can plug these values into the formula and solve for h: 21 = (1/2)(5+9)h 21 = (1/2)(14)h 21 = 7h h = 3 Therefore, the distance between the parallel sides is 3cm. So the answer is option A: 3cm.

Answer Details

Since PQ = QR, Δ PQR is a right angle isosceles triangle

∴ ∠PQR = 45

Question 19 Report

Find the range of the value of \(x\) satisfying the inequalities \(5 + x \le 8\) and \(13 + x \ge 7\)

-3 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 3

3 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 6

-6 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 3

-6 $\leq$ x $\leq$ -3

Answer Details

5 + x $\leq$ 8 and 13 + x $\geq$ 7
5 + x $\leq$ 8
X $\leq$ 8 – 5
X $\leq$ 3
And 13 + x $\geq$ 7
X $\geq$ 7 – 15
X $\geq$ -7
Combining the two together
-6 $\leq$ x $\leq$ 3

< SYT = < XYW (vertically opposite < s)
Also < SYX = < TYW (vertically opposite < s)

Answer Details

To solve the system of inequalities 4x - 7 ≤ y ≤ 3x and 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x, we can use the following steps: 1. For the first inequality, isolate y in the middle by adding 7 to both sides: 4x - 7 + 7 ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7, which simplifies to 4x ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7. 2. For the second inequality, isolate y in the middle by adding 4 to both sides: 3x - 4 + 4 ≤ y + 4 ≤ 4x + 4, which simplifies to 3x ≤ y + 4 ≤ 4x + 4. 3. We want to find the range of values of x that satisfy both inequalities. To do this, we need to find the intersection of the two intervals [4x, 3x + 7] and [3x, 4x + 4] for y. 4. We start by finding the maximum lower bound of the two intervals. The lower bound of [4x, 3x + 7] is 4x, and the lower bound of [3x, 4x + 4] is 4x. So the maximum lower bound is 4x. 5. We then find the minimum upper bound of the two intervals. The upper bound of [4x, 3x + 7] is 3x + 7, and the upper bound of [3x, 4x + 4] is 4x + 4. So the minimum upper bound is 3x + 7. 6. Therefore, the range of values of x that satisfy both inequalities is 4x ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7 and 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x, which simplifies to 4x ≤ y + 7 ≤ 3x + 7 and 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x. 7. To solve for x, we can use the second inequality: 3x - 4 ≤ y ≤ 4x. We can substitute the upper bound of y with 4x and the lower bound of y with 3x - 4 to get 3x - 4 ≤ 3x - 4 ≤ x ≤ 4x. Therefore, the range of values of x that satisfy both inequalities is -4 ≤ x ≤ 7. Therefore, the correct option is "-4 ≤ x ≤ 7".
