Make $y$ the subject of the formula $Z = x^2 + \frac{1}{y^3}$

y =

\frac{1}{(z - x^{2})^{3}}

y =

\frac{1}{(z + x^{2}) \frac{1}{3}}

y =

h1 =

\frac{h_{1} + h_{2}}{1.5}

=

\frac{h_{1}}{h_{2}} = 2

$\frac{A_{△ P Q R}}{A_{T P (Q R S T)}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times h_{1}}{\frac{1}{2} \times h_{2} (2 + 3)}$

$\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{h_{1}}{h_{2}} = \frac{2}{5} \times 2$

= $\frac{4}{5}$

Three angles of a nonagon are equal and the sum of six other angles is 1110o. Calculate the size of one of the equal angles.

210o

150o

105o

50o

Maelezo ya Majibu

Sum of interior angles of any polygon is (2n - 4) right angle; n angles of the Monagon = 9
Where 3 are equal and 6 other angles = 1110o
(2 x 9 - 4)90o = (18 - 4)90o
14 x 90o = 1260o
9 angles = 12600, 6 angles = 110o
Remaining 3 angles = 1260o - 1110o = 150o
Size of one of the 3 angles

\frac{150}{3}

= 50o
