20 stepsHere are the solutions to your math questions:
1. A rally car travelled for 2 hours 40 minutes at an average speed of 120 km/h. The car consumes an average of 1 litre of fuel for every 4 kilometers. A litre costs Ksh. 189. Calculate the amount of money spent on fuel.
Convert the total time to hours.
Calculate the total distance traveled.
Calculate the total fuel consumed.
The car consumes 1 litre for every 4 km.
Calculate the total cost of fuel.
The amount of money spent on fuel is .
2. One interior angle of a polygon is equal to and each of the other interior angles are . Find the number of sides of the polygon.
Let be the number of sides of the polygon.
The sum of the interior angles of an -sided polygon is given by the formula:
Express the sum of the interior angles using the given angle values.
One angle is . The remaining angles are each .
Equate the two expressions for the sum of interior angles and solve for .
The number of sides of the polygon is .
3. (a) Using a pair of compasses and a ruler only, construct a triangle ABC such that AB = 4 cm, BC = 6 cm and angle ABC = .
a) Construction steps:
- Draw a line segment AB of length 4 cm.
- At point B, construct an angle of . To do this, construct a angle, then bisect the adjacent angle to get , and add it to (). Alternatively, construct a straight line through B, then construct a angle from the extension of AB, which will give on the other side.
- Along the line from B, measure and mark a point C such that BC = 6 cm.
- Join points A and C to complete triangle ABC.
(b) Construct the height of triangle ABC in (a) above taking AB as the base, hence calculate the area of triangle ABC.*
b) Construction steps for height:
- Extend the line segment AB beyond B.
- From point C, drop a perpendicular to the extended line AB. To do this, place the compass at C, draw an arc that intersects the extended line AB at two points.
- From these two intersection points, draw two more arcs that intersect below (or above) the line.
- Draw a straight line from C through the intersection of these two arcs. This line is the height of the triangle from C to the base AB (extended). Let the intersection point on the extended line AB be D. CD is the height.
Calculation of the area:
Given AB = 4 cm, BC = 6 cm, and .
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:Here, , , and the included angle is .
We know that .
Using :
The area of triangle ABC is .
4. Solve the following inequalities and present your solution on a number line:
Split the compound inequality into two separate inequalities.
Inequality 1:
Inequality 2:Solve Inequality 1.
Solve Inequality 2.
Combine the solutions.
We need values of that satisfy both and .
The combined solution is .Present the solution on a number line.
Draw a number line. Place a closed circle at -3 (because can be equal to -3) and an open circle at 5 (because cannot be equal to 5). Draw a line connecting these two circles.
