In the diagram above, |QR| is the diameter of the semicircle QR. Find the area of the figure to the nearest whole number. {\(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)}
A
90cm2
B
89cm2
C
80cm2
D
70cm2
correct option: a
Area of PQRS = length x breath(7 x 10)cm2 = 70
Area of semi-circle \(\frac{1}{2} \pi r^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2}\)
= 19.5cm2 = 20cm2(appr.)
Area of the figure = (70 + 20)cm2
= 90cm2

In the parallelogram PQRS given, find anle SQR
A
50o
B
80o
C
80cm2
D
100o
correct option: d
< QRS = 30o(corresponding < ), < QSR = 50o
< SQR = 180o - (30 + 50)o (Sum of < S in a \(\bigtriangleup\))
180o - 80o = 100o
Users' Answers & Comments< SQR = 180o - (30 + 50)o (Sum of < S in a \(\bigtriangleup\))
180o - 80o = 100o

In the diagram above, PQO is a diameter of the circle PQR. If < PSR = 145o find xo
A
35o
B
55o
C
25o
D
45o
correct option: b
Construction RQ
< PRQ = 90o(amgle substended at the circumfernce of a circle by diameter). Also in figure PQRS
< PQS + PSQ = 180(supplementary angle)
< PQS = 180 - 145 = 35
In \(\bigtriangleup\)PRQ x = 180 - 935 = 90)
x = 55

i the diagram given PQ = 10cm, PS = 8cm and < PSR is 60 while < SRQ is a right angle. Find SR
A
10 \(\sqrt{3}\)cm
B
10cm
C
45cm
D
14cm
correct option: d
Draw a line perpendicular to |SR| to form |PT| in \(\bigtriangleup\) PST, cos 60 = \(\frac{|ST|}{8}\(
|PT| = 8 cos 6 = 4cm
Since |TR| = |PQ|
SR = ST + TR
= (4 + 10)cm
= 14cm
Users' Answers & Comments|PT| = 8 cos 6 = 4cm
Since |TR| = |PQ|
SR = ST + TR
= (4 + 10)cm
= 14cm

D
45o
correct option: d
Reflex of < 260 = 360 - 260
= 10(angle at a point0
x = 100 - 55 = 45o
Users' Answers & Comments= 10(angle at a point0
x = 100 - 55 = 45o

The pie chart above shows the expenditure of a family whose income is N30.000. If the expenditure on food is twice that on housing and that on school fees is twice that on transport, how much does the family spend on food?
A
N28,000
B
N12,500
C
N15,000
D
N25,000
correct option: b
school fees is 90o
Transport = 45o
Housing and food = 360 - (90 + 45) = 225
food \(\frac{2}{3} \times 225 = 150\)
expenses on food = \(\frac{150}{360} \times 30000\)
= N12500
Users' Answers & CommentsTransport = 45o
Housing and food = 360 - (90 + 45) = 225
food \(\frac{2}{3} \times 225 = 150\)
expenses on food = \(\frac{150}{360} \times 30000\)
= N12500

A
55%
B
52%
C
36%
D
22%
correct option: a
(\(\frac{52}{160} = \frac{36}{160}\))% = \(\frac{88}{160}\)%
