Each of the interior angles of a regular polygon is 140^o. Calculate the sum of all the interior angles of the polygon

1080^o

1260^o Resposta correta

1800^o

2160^o

Detalhes da Resposta

In a regular polygon with n sides, each interior angle measures: \begin{align*} 180^\circ - \frac{360^\circ}{n} \end{align*} Since each interior angle of this polygon is 140^o, we can equate the above formula to 140^o: \begin{align*} 180^\circ - \frac{360^\circ}{n} &= 140^\circ\\ \frac{360^\circ}{n} &= 40^\circ\\ n &= \frac{360^\circ}{40^\circ}\\ n &= 9 \end{align*} Therefore, the given polygon is a nonagon (a polygon with nine sides). The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides can be calculated using the formula: \begin{align*} S &= (n-2)180^\circ \end{align*} Substituting n=9 into this formula, we get: \begin{align*} S &= (9-2)180^\circ\\ &= 7\cdot180^\circ\\ &= 1260^\circ \end{align*} Therefore, the sum of all the interior angles of the given polygon is 1260^o. Hence, the correct option is: - 1260^o

N3800.00 Resposta correta

N4845.00

Detalhes da Resposta

We can solve this problem using a proportion. If 85% of x is N3230, that means we can write: 0.85x = N3230 To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides by 0.85: x = N3230 ÷ 0.85 Using a calculator, we get: x ≈ N3800.00 Therefore, the value of x is N3800.00.

Pergunta 7 Relatório

A bucket holds 10 litres of water. How many buckets of water will fill a reservoir of size 8m x 7m x 5m.(1 litre = 1000cm³)`

280

2800

28000 Resposta correta

Detalhes da Resposta

The volume of the reservoir can be found by multiplying its dimensions: 8m x 7m x 5m = 280 m^3 Since 1 liter is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters (cm^3), 1 cubic meter is equal to 1,000,000 cubic centimeters. Therefore, the reservoir has a volume of: 280 m^3 x 1,000,000 cm^3/m^3 = 280,000,000 cm^3 Each bucket can hold 10 liters of water or 10,000 cubic centimeters (cm^3) of water since 1 liter is equal to 1000 cm^3. Therefore, the number of buckets needed to fill the reservoir is: 280,000,000 cm^3 ÷ 10,000 cm^3/bucket = 28,000 buckets Therefore, the answer is 28,000.

Pergunta 8 Relatório

What is the median of the following scores: 22 35 41 63 74 82

52 Resposta correta

Detalhes da Resposta

To find the median of a set of numbers, we first need to arrange them in ascending or descending order. In this case, arranging the numbers in ascending order gives us: 22, 35, 41, 63, 74, 82 The median is the middle number in the set when the numbers are arranged in order. Since we have an even number of numbers in this set, there are two middle numbers: 41 and 63. To find the median, we take the average of these two numbers: Median = (41 + 63) / 2 = 104 / 2 = 52 Therefore, the median of the scores is 52.

Find the value to which N3000.00 will amount in 5 years at 6% per annum simple interest

N3,900.00 Resposta correta

N3,750.00

N3,600.00

N3,300

Detalhes da Resposta

Simple interest is calculated as the product of the principal, the rate of interest, and the time duration. From the question, we have a principal of N3000.00, an interest rate of 6%, and a duration of 5 years. Using the formula for simple interest, we can find the interest accrued over the 5 years as: Interest = (P * R * T) / 100 = (3000 * 6 * 5) / 100 = N900.00 The total value to which N3000.00 will amount to after 5 years is the sum of the principal and the interest, which is: Total = Principal + Interest = 3000 + 900 = N3900.00 Therefore, N3000.00 will amount to N3900.00 after 5 years at 6% per annum simple interest. So the correct answer is option A, N3,900.00.

The pie chart shows the distribution of 4320 students who graduated from four departments in a university. If a student is picked at random from the four departments, what id the probability that he is not from the education department?

$\frac{3}{10}$

$\frac{2}{9}$

$\frac{5}{18}$

$\frac{7}{10}$ Resposta correta

Detalhes da Resposta

To find the probability that a student picked at random is not from the education department, we need to find the total number of students who are not from the education department and divide it by the total number of students in all departments. From the pie chart, we can see that the education department has 30% of the total students. Therefore, the remaining three departments have a total of 70% of the total students. To find the probability of picking a student who is not from the education department, we divide the percentage of students who are not in the education department by 100%: Probability = $\frac{70}{100}$ = $\frac{7}{10}$ Therefore, the probability that a student picked at random is not from the education department is $\frac{7}{10}$. The correct option is: $\frac{7}{10}$.

The diameter of a bicycle wheel is 42cm. If the wheel makes 16 complete revolution, what will be the total distance covered by the wheel? [Take $\pi \frac{22}{7}$

672cm

1056cm

2112cm Resposta correta

4224cm

Detalhes da Resposta

The distance covered by the wheel is equal to the circumference of the wheel multiplied by the number of revolutions made. The circumference of the wheel can be calculated using the formula: circumference = diameter x pi circumference = 42cm x 22/7 circumference = 132cm Therefore, the distance covered by the wheel in 16 complete revolutions is: distance = circumference x number of revolutions distance = 132cm x 16 distance = 2112cm So, the answer is (c) 2112cm.

An arc of a circle subtends an angle of 60^o at the centre. If the radius of the circle is 3cm, find , in terms of $\pi$, the length of the arc

$\pi$cm Resposta correta

2$\pi$cm

3$\pi$cm

6$\pi$cm

Detalhes da Resposta

When an angle in degrees is subtended at the center of a circle, the length of the arc it cuts out is given by: $$\text{Length of arc} = \frac{\text{angle}}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r$$ where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the angle is 60° and the radius is 3 cm. Substituting these values into the formula above, we get: $$\text{Length of arc} = \frac{60}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi (3\text{ cm}) = \frac{1}{6} \times 6\pi = \pi \text{ cm}$$ Therefore, the length of the arc, in terms of π, is π cm. Hence, the correct option is: $\pi$cm.

If log 2 = x, log 3 = y and log 7 = z, find, in terms of x, y and z, the value of log ($\frac{28}{3}$)

2x + y - z

2x + z - y Resposta correta

x + y - 2x

x + x - y

Detalhes da Resposta

We can use logarithmic rules to solve this question. Let's first express log($\frac{28}{3}$) in terms of x, y, and z. log($\frac{28}{3}$) = log(28) - log(3) We know that: log(28) = log(4 × 7) = log(4) + log(7) = 2x + z log(3) = y Therefore: log($\frac{28}{3}$) = 2x + z - y So the correct answer is 2x + z - y.

$\frac{1}{5}$

-$\frac{1}{5}$

-1

Detalhes da Resposta

To solve the equation $\frac{2x + 1}{6} - \frac{3x - 1}{4} = 0$, we need to simplify the left-hand side and solve for x. First, we need to find a common denominator for the two fractions. The smallest common multiple of 6 and 4 is 12, so we can rewrite the equation as: \[\frac{2x+1}{6}\cdot \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3x-1}{4}\cdot \frac{3}{3} = 0\] Simplifying, we get: \[\frac{4x+2}{12} - \frac{9x-3}{12} = 0\] Combining the fractions, we get: \[\frac{4x+2-(9x-3)}{12} = 0\] Simplifying further, we get: \[\frac{-5x+5}{12} = 0\] Multiplying both sides by 12, we get: \[-5x+5=0\] Adding 5 to both sides, we get: \[-5x=-5\] Dividing both sides by -5, we get: \[x=1\] Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 1.

N140.25

N31.17

Detalhes da Resposta

The exchange rate of naira (N) varies directly with the Dollars($). This means that the exchange rate is constant, and we can set up a proportion to solve the problem. If N1122 is equivalent to $8, we can write: N1122/$8 = x/$36 where x is the Naira equivalent of $36. To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify: N1122 x 36 = $8 x x 40392 = 8x x = 40392/8 = 5049 Therefore, the Naira equivalent of $36 is N5049. So, the correct option is (B) N5049.

Detalhes da Resposta

To find the quadratic equation given its roots, we use the fact that for a quadratic equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, the roots are given by the formula: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a If the roots are given as α and β, then the quadratic equation can be written as: (x - α)(x - β) = 0 Expanding the above equation gives: x² - (α + β)x + αβ = 0 Therefore, to find the quadratic equation whose roots are -$\frac{1}{2}$ and 3, we substitute α = -$\frac{1}{2}$ and β = 3 into the equation: x² - (α + β)x + αβ = 0 x² - (-$\frac{1}{2}$ + 3)x + (-$\frac{1}{2}$ × 3) = 0 Simplifying the above equation, we get: 2x² - 5x - 3 = 0 Therefore, the quadratic equation whose roots are -$\frac{1}{2}$ and 3 is 2x² - 5x - 3 = 0. The correct option is (C) 2x² - 5x - 3 = 0.

Detalhes da Resposta

We will start by simplifying the expression inside the parenthesis first. 3$\frac{1}{2}$ + 4$\frac{1}{3}$ = (7/2) + (13/3) To add these two fractions, we need a common denominator. Multiplying the denominators together gives us 6, so: (7/2) + (13/3) = (21/6) + (26/6) = 47/6 Now, let's simplify the expression in the denominator: $\frac{5}{6} - \frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{5}{6} - \frac{4}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$ Finally, we can substitute these values into the original expression: (3$\frac{1}{2}$ + 4$\frac{1}{3}$) ÷ ($\frac{5}{6}$ - $\frac{2}{3}$) = (47/6) ÷ (1/6) When dividing fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second: (47/6) ÷ (1/6) = (47/6) x (6/1) = 47 Therefore, the answer is 47.

Detalhes da Resposta

To find the number of students who graduated from the science department, we need to look at the pie chart and determine the percentage of students that belong to that department. From the pie chart, we can see that the science department occupies 20% of the entire circle. To find the number of students in the science department, we need to calculate 20% of 4320, which can be done by multiplying 4320 by 0.20. 20% of 4320 = 0.20 x 4320 = 864 Therefore, the number of students who graduated from the science department is 864. So, the correct answer is option B: 864.

Detalhes da Resposta

In the given diagram, we have a circle with center O and angle 20^o subtended at the center. We need to find the value of x. Firstly, we know that the angle subtended at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended at the circumference by the same arc. Therefore, angle AOB = 2 × 20^o = 40^o Also, we know that angle in a semicircle is a right angle. So, angle AOC = 90^o. Using the fact that the angles in a triangle add up to 180^o, we can find angle BOC as follows: angle BOC = 180^o - angle AOB - angle AOC = 180^o - 40^o - 90^o = 50^o Since angle BOC is an angle at the circumference that subtends the arc BC, which is equal to x degrees, we have: x = angle BOC = 50^o Therefore, the value of x is 50^o. Answer is correct.

Pergunta 43 Relatório

A box contains black, white and red identical balls. The probability of picking a black ball at random from the box is $\frac{3}{10}$ and the probability of picking a white ball at random is $\frac{2}{5}$. If there are 30 balls in the box, how many of them are red?

9 Resposta correta

Detalhes da Resposta

The probability of picking a black ball at random from the box is $\frac{3}{10}$ and the probability of picking a white ball at random is $\frac{2}{5}$. Let's assume that there are x red balls in the box. Since there are a total of 30 balls, we can write: number of black balls + number of white balls + number of red balls = total number of balls $\frac{3}{10}(30) + \frac{2}{5}(30) + x = 30$ Simplifying the above equation gives: 9 + 12 + x = 30 x = 30 - 9 - 12 x = 9 Therefore, there are 9 red balls in the box.

In an examination, Kofi scored x% in Physics, 50% in Chemistry and 70% in Biology. If his mean score for the three subjects was 55%, find x

45 Resposta correta

Detalhes da Resposta

Kofi's mean score for the three subjects was 55%, so the total percentage score for the three subjects is 3 x 55 = 165%. Let's assume that Kofi scored x% in Physics. Then, the total percentage score for Physics, Chemistry and Biology would be: x + 50 + 70 = 165 Simplifying the equation, we get: x = 165 - 50 - 70 x = 45 Therefore, Kofi scored 45% in Physics. So the correct option is (B) 45.

Arrange the following numbers in descending orders of magnitude: 22_three, 34_five, 21_six

21_six, 22_three, 34_five,

21_six, 34_five, 22_three

22_three, 34_five, 21_six

34_five, 21_six, 22_three Resposta correta

Detalhes da Resposta

To compare these numbers, we need to convert all of them to the same base. Let's convert them all to base 10 for simplicity: - 22_three = 2\*3¹ + 2\*3⁰ = 6 + 2 = 8 - 34_five = 3\*5¹ + 4\*5⁰ = 15 + 4 = 19 - 21_six = 2\*6¹ + 1\*6⁰ = 12 + 1 = 13 So, in base 10, the numbers are 8, 19, and 13. To arrange them in descending order of magnitude, we simply sort them from largest to smallest: - 19, 13, 8 Therefore, the correct answer is: 34_five, 21_six, 22_three
