In the diagram above, if ∠RPS = 50o, ∠RPQ = 30o and PQ = QR, find the value of ∠PRS.
A
80o
B
70o
C
60o
D
50o
correct option: b
Δ PQR is isosceles
∴∠PRQ = 30o
Also in Δ PQR
^Q = 180 -(30 + 30)
= 120o
PQRS is a cyclic quad
^S + ^Q = 180(opp ∠s of a cyclic quad)
S + 120 = 180
S = 60o
In ΔPSR
x + 50 + 60
= 180(sum of ∠s of a Δ)
x + 110 = 180
x = 180 - 110
x = 70o

In the diagram, If < RPS = 50o, < RPQ = 30o and pq = QR, Find the value of < prs
A
50o
B
60o
C
70o
D
80o
correct option: c
< QPR = < PRQ = 30o (PQ = QR)

< SPQ + < QRS = 180o (supplementary)

80 + < QRS = 180o = < QRS = 180o - 80o = 100o

< QRP + < PRS = 100o = 30o + < PRS = 100o

= < PRS = 100o - 30o = 70o

correct option: b
\(\bigtriangleup\)OEN = \(\bigtriangleup\)OGN

OE = OG = r(radii)

(r - 8)2 + 122 = r2

r2 - 16r + 64 + 144 = r2

16r = 64 + 144 = r2

16r = 64 + 144 = 208

\(\frac{208}{16}\) = 13cm

FH = 2FO = 2OH = 2R

= 2 x 13cm

= 26cm

If the diagram is the graph of y = x2, the shaded area is
A
64 square units
B
\(\frac{126}{4}\) square units
C
32 square units
D
\(\frac{64}{3}\) square units
correct option: d
A = \(\int^{x = 4}_{x = 0}\) ydx = \(\int^{4}_{0}\) x2dx = [\(\frac{x^3}{3} + c]^{4}_{0}\)

= \(\frac{64}{3}\) square units
