Step-by-step solution

8 steps

Part a· 2 steps

  1. Find the length of ACAC using the Pythagorean theorem in △ABC\triangle ABC.

    Since ∠ABC=90∘\angle ABC = 90^\circ, we have:

    AC2=AB2+BC2AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 AC2=(3 cm)2+(4 cm)2AC^2 = (3 \text{ cm})^2 + (4 \text{ cm})^2 AC2=9 cm2+16 cm2AC^2 = 9 \text{ cm}^2 + 16 \text{ cm}^2 AC2=25 cm2AC^2 = 25 \text{ cm}^2 AC=25 cm2AC = \sqrt{25 \text{ cm}^2} AC=5 cmAC = 5 \text{ cm}
  2. Find the length of CDCD using the Pythagorean theorem in △ACD\triangle ACD.

    Since ∠ACD=90∘\angle ACD = 90^\circ, we have:

    AD2=AC2+CD2AD^2 = AC^2 + CD^2 (13 cm)2=(5 cm)2+CD2(13 \text{ cm})^2 = (5 \text{ cm})^2 + CD^2 169 cm2=25 cm2+CD2169 \text{ cm}^2 = 25 \text{ cm}^2 + CD^2 CD2=169 cm2−25 cm2CD^2 = 169 \text{ cm}^2 - 25 \text{ cm}^2 CD2=144 cm2CD^2 = 144 \text{ cm}^2 CD=144 cm2CD = \sqrt{144 \text{ cm}^2} CD=12 cmCD = 12 \text{ cm}

Part a(i)· 1 step

The length of CDCD is 12 cm\boxed{\text{12 cm}}.

  1. Find tan⁡(angle ADC)\tan(\text{angle ADC}).

    In △ACD\triangle ACD, ∠ACD=90∘\angle ACD = 90^\circ.
    The side opposite to ∠ADC\angle ADC is ACAC.
    The side adjacent to ∠ADC\angle ADC is CDCD.

    tan⁡(∠ADC)=oppositeadjacent=ACCD\tan(\angle ADC) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{AC}{CD} tan⁡(∠ADC)=5 cm12 cm\tan(\angle ADC) = \frac{5 \text{ cm}}{12 \text{ cm}} tan⁡(∠ADC)=512\tan(\angle ADC) = \frac{5}{12}

Part a(ii)

The value of tan⁡(angle ADC)\tan(\text{angle ADC}) is 512\boxed{\frac{5}{12}}.

Part b

GH¢ 5,525.00\text{GH¢ } 5,525.00

  1. Calculate the depreciation amount.

    Depreciation = 15% of GH¢ 6,500.00

    Depreciation=0.15×GH¢ 6,500.00\text{Depreciation} = 0.15 \times \text{GH¢ } 6,500.00 Depreciation=GH¢ 975.00\text{Depreciation} = \text{GH¢ } 975.00
  2. Calculate the value of the car after one year.

    Value after one year = Original value - Depreciation

    Value after one year=GH¢ 6,500.00−GH¢ 975.00\text{Value after one year} = \text{GH¢ } 6,500.00 - \text{GH¢ } 975.00 Value after one year=GH¢ 5,525.00\text{Value after one year} = \text{GH¢ } 5,525.00

    The value of the car after one year is GH¢ 5,525.00\boxed{\text{GH¢ } 5,525.00}.

Part c

136\frac{13}{6}

  1. Substitute the given values of aa and bb into the expression 2a−3b2a - 3b.

    Given a=13a = \frac{1}{3} and b=−12b = -\frac{1}{2}.

    2a−3b=2(13)−3(−12)2a - 3b = 2\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) - 3\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)
  2. Simplify the expression.

    2a−3b=23−(−32)2a - 3b = \frac{2}{3} - \left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) 2a−3b=23+322a - 3b = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{2}
  3. Add the fractions by finding a common denominator.

    The least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6.

    2a−3b=2×23×2+3×32×32a - 3b = \frac{2 \times 2}{3 \times 2} + \frac{3 \times 3}{2 \times 3} 2a−3b=46+962a - 3b = \frac{4}{6} + \frac{9}{6} 2a−3b=4+962a - 3b = \frac{4+9}{6} 2a−3b=1362a - 3b = \frac{13}{6}

    The value of the expression is 136\boxed{\frac{13}{6}}.
