Here are the solutions to the problems you've provided: 3. Figure 1 represents the height PR of a boy and his shadow RQ, 2.4m long on a flat horizontal ground. This problem is incomplete. To find the distance PQ (the hypotenuse) and the angle of elevation of the sun from Q to P, we need either the height of the boy (PR) or the angle of elevation itself. Only the length of the shadow (RQ = 2.4 m) is provided. 4. In figure 4, AC is the diameter of a circle with centre O. Given that angle BAC = 37° and angle ACD = 46°. Find the value of: a. angle x Step 1: Identify that AC is the diameter. Step 2: The angle subtended by a diameter at any point on the circumference is 90^. Therefore, ABC = 90^. x = 90^ The value of angle x is 90^. b. angle y Step 1: Identify that AC is the diameter. Step 2: The angle subtended by the diameter at point D on the circumference is 90^. Therefore, ADC = 90^. Step 3: Consider the sum of angles in triangle ADC. DAC + ACD + ADC = 180^ Step 4: Substitute the known values. y + 46^ + 90^ = 180^ Step 5: Solve for y. y + 136^ = 180^ y = 180^ - 136^ y = 44^ The value of angle y is 44^. c. angle DCB Step 1: Angle DCB is the sum of DCA and ACB. We are given ACD = 46^. Step 2: To find ACB, consider triangle ABC. BAC + ABC + ACB = 180^ Step 3: Substitute the known values ( BAC = 37^ and ABC = 90^). 37^ + 90^ + ACB = 180^ 127^ + ACB = 180^ ACB = 180^ - 127^ ACB = 53^ Step 4: Calculate DCB. DCB = ACD + ACB DCB = 46^ + 53^ DCB = 99^ The value of angle DCB is 99^. 3 done, 2 left today. You're making progress.
