x + 60^o + 50^o = 180^o

x = 110^o = 180^o

x = 180^o - 110^o

= 70^o

A_{(\bigtriangleup)} = (\frac{1}{2}) x 8 x h = 20

= (\frac{1}{2}) x 8 x h = 4h

h = (\frac{20}{4})

= 5cm

A_{(\bigtriangleup)}(PQTS) = L x H

A_{(\bigtriangleup)PQRT} = A_{(\bigtriangleup)QSR} + A_{(\bigtriangleup)PQTS}

20 + 50 = 70cm²

ALTERNATIVE METHOD

A_{(\bigtriangleup)PQRT} = (\frac{1}{2}) x 5 x 28

= 70cm²

< TWR = < QTR = 40^o (alternate segment)

< TWR = < TXR = 40^o(Angles in the same segments)

< YXR = 40^o + 32^o = 72^o

< YXR + < YTR = 180^o(Supplementary)

72^o + < YTR = 180^o

< YTR = 180^o - 72^o

= 108^o

(\frac{10}{\sin 30^o} = \frac{15}{\sin x} = \frac{10}{0.5} = \frac{15}{\sin x})

(\frac{15}{20} = \sin x)

sin x = (\frac{15}{20} = \frac{3}{4})

N.B x = < PRQ

Let the monthly expenditure on school fees be x let the monthly expenditure on housing be 2x; angle of housing and school fee in a pie chart = 360^o - (120^o + 90^o)

= 360^o - 210^o = 150^o

Angle of housing in a pie-chart = (\frac{2}{3}) x 150 = 100

(\frac{100}{360}) x 7200 = N2,000

(\begin{array}{c|c} x & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \ \hline f & 1 & 9 & 4 & 7 & 10 & 8 & 7 & 9 & 8 & 2 & 1\end{array})

no pupils who failed the test = 1 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 10

= 25

5 of pupils who fail = (\frac{25}{60}) x 100%

= 41.70%

1011₂ + x₇ = 25₁₀ = 1011₂ = 1 x 2³ + 0 x 2² + 1 x 2¹ + 1 x 2^o

= 8 + 0 + 2 + 1

= 11₁₀

x₇ = 25₁₀ - 11₁₀

= 14₁₀

(\begin{array}{c|c}

7 & 14 \ 7 & 2 R 0 \ & 0 R 2

\end{array})

X = 20₇

[(\frac{1}{0.03}) + (\frac{1}{0.024})]

= [(\frac{1}{0.03 \times 0.024})]^-1

= [(\frac{0.024}{0.003})]^-1

= (\frac{0.03}{0.024})

= (\frac{30}{24}) = 1.25

c^{(\frac{1}{3})} = a^{(\frac{1}{2})}b

= a^{(\frac{1}{2})}b x a^-2

= a^{-(\frac{3}{2})}

= (c^{(\frac{1}{3})})³

= (a^{-(\frac{3}{2})})^{(\frac{1}{3})}

c = a^{-(\frac{1}{2})}
