In the figure, YXZ = 30o, XYZ = 105o and XY = 8cm. Calculate YZ
A
16\(\sqrt{2}\)cm
B
8\(\sqrt{2}\)cm
C
4\(\sqrt{2}\)cm
D
22cm
correct option: c
yzx + 105o + 30o = 180o

yzx = 180 - 155 = 45o

\(\frac{yz}{sin 30^o} = \frac{8}{sin 45^o}\)

yz = \(\frac{8 \sin 30}{sin 45}\)

= 8(\(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{8}{1} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}\)

= 4 \(\div\) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

= 4\(\sqrt{2}\)cm

Find the curved surface area of the frustrum in the figure
A
16\(\pi \sqrt{10}\)cm2
B
20\(\pi \sqrt{10}\)cm2
C
24\(\pi \sqrt{10}\)cm2
D
36\(\pi \sqrt{10}\)cm2
correct option: b
\(\frac{x}{4} = \frac{6 + x}{6}\)

6x = 4(6 + x) = 24 + 4x

x = 12 = c = \(\pi RL - \pi L\)

= \(\pi (6) \sqrt{18^2} + 6^2 - \pi \times 4 \times \sqrt{12^2} + 4^2\)

= 6\(\pi \sqrt{360} - 4 \pi \sqrt{160}\)

= 36\(\pi \sqrt{10} - 16 \pi \sqrt{10}\)

= 20\(\pi \sqrt{10}\)cm2
