Here 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.

  1. Convert the total time to hours.

    2 hours 40 minutes=2+4060 hours=2+23 hours=83 hours2 \text{ hours } 40 \text{ minutes} = 2 + \frac{40}{60} \text{ hours} = 2 + \frac{2}{3} \text{ hours} = \frac{8}{3} \text{ hours}
  2. Calculate the total distance traveled.

    Distance=Speed×Time\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} Distance=120 km/h×83 hours=40×8 km=320 km\text{Distance} = 120 \text{ km/h} \times \frac{8}{3} \text{ hours} = 40 \times 8 \text{ km} = 320 \text{ km}
  3. Calculate the total fuel consumed.

    The car consumes 1 litre for every 4 km.

    Fuel consumed=Total distanceKilometers per litre=320 km4 km/litre=80 litres\text{Fuel consumed} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Kilometers per litre}} = \frac{320 \text{ km}}{4 \text{ km/litre}} = 80 \text{ litres}
  4. Calculate the total cost of fuel.

    Total cost=Fuel consumed×Cost per litre\text{Total cost} = \text{Fuel consumed} \times \text{Cost per litre} Total cost=80 litres×Ksh. 189/litre=Ksh. 15120\text{Total cost} = 80 \text{ litres} \times \text{Ksh. } 189/\text{litre} = \text{Ksh. } 15120

    The amount of money spent on fuel is Ksh. 15120\boxed{\text{Ksh. } 15120}.

    2. One interior angle of a polygon is equal to 80∘80^\circ and each of the other interior angles are 128∘128^\circ. Find the number of sides of the polygon.

  5. Let nn be the number of sides of the polygon.

    The sum of the interior angles of an nn-sided polygon is given by the formula:

    S=(n−2)×180∘S = (n-2) \times 180^\circ
  6. Express the sum of the interior angles using the given angle values.

    One angle is 80∘80^\circ. The remaining (n−1)(n-1) angles are each 128∘128^\circ.

    S=80∘+(n−1)×128∘S = 80^\circ + (n-1) \times 128^\circ
  7. Equate the two expressions for the sum of interior angles and solve for nn.

    (n−2)×180=80+(n−1)×128(n-2) \times 180 = 80 + (n-1) \times 128 180n−360=80+128n−128180n - 360 = 80 + 128n - 128 180n−360=128n−48180n - 360 = 128n - 48 180n−128n=360−48180n - 128n = 360 - 48 52n=31252n = 312 n=31252n = \frac{312}{52} n=6n = 6

    The number of sides of the polygon is 6\boxed{6}.

    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 = 135∘135^\circ.

    a) Construction steps:

    1. Draw a line segment AB of length 4 cm.
    2. At point B, construct an angle of 135∘135^\circ. To do this, construct a 90∘90^\circ angle, then bisect the adjacent 90∘90^\circ angle to get 45∘45^\circ, and add it to 90∘90^\circ (90∘+45∘=135∘90^\circ + 45^\circ = 135^\circ). Alternatively, construct a straight line through B, then construct a 45∘45^\circ angle from the extension of AB, which will give 135∘135^\circ on the other side.
    3. Along the 135∘135^\circ line from B, measure and mark a point C such that BC = 6 cm.
    4. 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:

    1. Extend the line segment AB beyond B.
    2. 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.
    3. From these two intersection points, draw two more arcs that intersect below (or above) the line.
    4. 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 ∠ABC=135∘\angle ABC = 135^\circ.
    The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:

    Area=12absin⁡C\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2}ab \sin C

    Here, a=BC=6 cma = \text{BC} = 6 \text{ cm}, b=AB=4 cmb = \text{AB} = 4 \text{ cm}, and the included angle is ∠ABC=135∘\angle ABC = 135^\circ.

    Area=12×4 cm×6 cm×sin⁡(135∘)\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \text{ cm} \times 6 \text{ cm} \times \sin(135^\circ)

    We know that sin⁡(135∘)=sin⁡(180∘−45∘)=sin⁡(45∘)=22\sin(135^\circ) = \sin(180^\circ - 45^\circ) = \sin(45^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.

    Area=12×24×22\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} Area=12×22\text{Area} = 12 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} Area=62 cm2\text{Area} = 6\sqrt{2} \text{ cm}^2

    Using 2≈1.414\sqrt{2} \approx 1.414:

    Area≈6×1.414=8.484 cm2\text{Area} \approx 6 \times 1.414 = 8.484 \text{ cm}^2

    The area of triangle ABC is 62 cm2 or approximately 8.484 cm2\boxed{6\sqrt{2} \text{ cm}^2 \text{ or approximately } 8.484 \text{ cm}^2}.

    4. Solve the following inequalities and present your solution on a number line:

    2x−2≤3x+1<x+112x - 2 \le 3x + 1 < x + 11
  8. Split the compound inequality into two separate inequalities.

    Inequality 1: 2x−2≤3x+12x - 2 \le 3x + 1
    Inequality 2: 3x+1<x+113x + 1 < x + 11

  9. Solve Inequality 1.

    2x−2≤3x+12x - 2 \le 3x + 1 −2−1≤3x−2x-2 - 1 \le 3x - 2x −3≤x-3 \le x x≥−3x \ge -3
  10. Solve Inequality 2.

    3x+1<x+113x + 1 < x + 11 3x−x<11−13x - x < 11 - 1 2x<102x < 10 x<5x < 5
  11. Combine the solutions.

    We need values of xx that satisfy both x≥−3x \ge -3 and x<5x < 5.
    The combined solution is −3≤x<5-3 \le x < 5.

  12. Present the solution on a number line.

    Draw a number line. Place a closed circle at -3 (because xx can be equal to -3) and an open circle at 5 (because xx cannot be equal to 5). Draw a line connecting these two circles.

    <-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|----->
         -4    -3    -2    -1     0     1     2     3     4     5
                [------------------------------------------------)
    

    The solution is −3≤x<5\boxed{-3 \le x < 5}.

    6. Two similar solids have surface areas 48 cm248 \text{ cm}^2 and 108 cm2108 \text{ cm}^2 respectively. Find the volume of the smaller solid if the bigger one has a volume of 162 milliliters.

  13. Find the ratio of the surface areas.

    Let A1=48 cm2A_1 = 48 \text{ cm}^2 (smaller solid) and A2=108 cm2A_2 = 108 \text{ cm}^2 (bigger solid).
    The ratio of surface areas is A1A2=48108\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{48}{108}.
    Simplify the ratio:

    48108=2454=1227=49\frac{48}{108} = \frac{24}{54} = \frac{12}{27} = \frac{4}{9}
  14. Find the ratio of corresponding linear dimensions.

    For similar solids, the ratio of surface areas is the square of the ratio of corresponding linear dimensions (L1/L2L_1/L_2).

    A1A2=(L1L2)2\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)^2 49=(L1L2)2\frac{4}{9} = \left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)^2 L1L2=49=23\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \sqrt{\frac{4}{9}} = \frac{2}{3}
  15. Find the ratio of the volumes.

    The ratio of volumes is the cube of the ratio of corresponding linear dimensions.

    V1V2=(L1L2)3\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)^3 V1V2=(23)3=2333=827\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3 = \frac{2^3}{3^3} = \frac{8}{27}
  16. Calculate the volume of the smaller solid.

    Given V2=162 millilitersV_2 = 162 \text{ milliliters}. Since 1 ml=1 cm31 \text{ ml} = 1 \text{ cm}^3, V2=162 cm3V_2 = 162 \text{ cm}^3.

    V1162 cm3=827\frac{V_1}{162 \text{ cm}^3} = \frac{8}{27} V1=827×162 cm3V_1 = \frac{8}{27} \times 162 \text{ cm}^3 V1=8×16227 cm3V_1 = 8 \times \frac{162}{27} \text{ cm}^3 V1=8×6 cm3V_1 = 8 \times 6 \text{ cm}^3 V1=48 cm3V_1 = 48 \text{ cm}^3

    The volume of the smaller solid is 48 cm3\boxed{48 \text{ cm}^3}.

    7. A triangular flower garden has an area of 28 cm228 \text{ cm}^2. Two of its edges are 14 m and 8 m. find the angle between the two edges.

  17. Use the formula for the area of a triangle given two sides and the included angle.

    Area=12absin⁡θ\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2}ab \sin \theta

    Given Area =28 m2= 28 \text{ m}^2, a=14 ma = 14 \text{ m}, b=8 mb = 8 \text{ m}. Let θ\theta be the angle between the two edges.

    28=12×14×8×sin⁡θ28 = \frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 8 \times \sin \theta
  18. Solve for sin⁡θ\sin \theta.

    28=7×8×sin⁡θ28 = 7 \times 8 \times \sin \theta 28=56sin⁡θ28 = 56 \sin \theta sin⁡θ=2856\sin \theta = \frac{28}{56} sin⁡θ=12\sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}
  19. Find the angle θ\theta.

    The angle whose sine is 12\frac{1}{2} is 30∘30^\circ.

    θ=sin⁡−1(12)\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) θ=30∘\theta = 30^\circ

    The angle between the two edges is 30∘\boxed{30^\circ}.
