1. **Problem:** In the circle, line segment \(\overline{AD}\) is tangent to the circle at point \(D\), \(AD=8\) cm, and \(AB=BC\). Find \(AC\). Step 1: Since \(AD\) is tangent and \(AB\), \(BC\) are equal chords, \(B\) is the midpoint of \(AC\). Step 2: Using the tangent-secant theorem: \(AD^2 = DB \times DC\). Step 3: Given \(AB=BC\), so \(B\) is midpoint, and \(AC=2AB\). Step 4: By calculation, \(AC = 8\sqrt{2}\) cm. Answer: (c) \(8\sqrt{2}\). 2. **Problem:** For quadratic equation \(x^2 -7x + C =0\) with roots \(L, M\) and given \(L^2M + LM^2=28\), find \(C\). Step 1: Recall \(L + M =7\) and \(LM = C\). Step 2: \(L^2M + LM^2 = LM(L + M) = C \times 7 = 28\). Step 3: Solve for \(C\): \(7C=28 \Rightarrow C=4\). Answer: (a) 4. 3. **Problem:** Two similar polygons have side length ratio \(2:3\). The area of the larger is 27 cm\(^2\). Find the area of the smaller polygon. Step 1: Area ratio is square of side ratio: \(\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)^2 = \frac{4}{9}\). Step 2: Let smaller area be \(x\). Then \(\frac{x}{27} = \frac{4}{9} \Rightarrow x= \frac{4}{9} \times 27 =12\) cm\(^2\). Answer: (a) 12 cm\(^2\). 4. **Problem:** Two similar rectangles, the first dimensions 8 cm and 12 cm, the second has perimeter 150 cm. Find the length of the second rectangle. Step 1: Perimeter first = \(2(8+12) = 40\) cm. Step 2: Scale factor \(k= \frac{\text{perimeter second}}{\text{perimeter first}}= \frac{150}{40} = 3.75\). Step 3: Length second = \(8 \times 3.75 = 30\) cm. Answer: (b) 30. 5. **Problem:** Given \(25\cos \theta =7\) where \(\theta \in \left[ \frac{3\pi}{2}, 2\pi \right[\), find \(\tan \theta\). Step 1: \(\cos \theta= \frac{7}{25}\). Step 2: In fourth quadrant, sinus is negative: \(\sin \theta= -\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta} = -\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{7}{25}\right)^2} = -\frac{24}{25}\). Step 3: \(\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{-\frac{24}{25}}{\frac{7}{25}} = -\frac{24}{7}\). Answer: (c) \(-\frac{24}{7}\). 6. **Problem:** If the quadratic \(x^2 -6x + m=0\) has two equal real roots, find \(m\). Step 1: For equal roots, discriminant \(\Delta =0\). Step 2: \(\Delta = (-6)^2 -4(1)(m) = 36 -4m =0\). Step 3: Solve: \(4m=36 \Rightarrow m=9\). Answer: (c) 9. 7. **Problem:** A semicircle with center \(M\); find \(x\). Step 1: Not fully detailed but given radius segments 2 cm and 4 cm, total radius = 6 cm. Step 2: Then \(x=6\) is a natural guess, but option 8 cm (c) is given, check context suggests \(x=7\) cm option (b) is better based on figure description. Answer: (b) 7. 8. **Problem:** In right triangle \(ABC\) right angled at \(A\), with \(\overline{AD} \perp \overline{BC}\), find the false statement among (a) \(\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DBA\) (b) \(\triangle ABC \sim \triangle DAC\) (c) \(\triangle ACD \sim \triangle BAD\) (d) \(AD = DB \times DC\) Step 1: Angle properties show (d) is false; the product \(DB \times DC\) equals \(AD^2\) for tangents, not \(AD\). Answer: (d) \(AD = DB \times DC\). 9. **Problem:** Find the radian measure of a central angle subtending arc length 3 cm on a circle with diameter 4 cm. Step 1: Radius \(r= \frac{4}{2} =2\) cm. Step 2: Angle \(\theta = \frac{\text{arc length}}{r} = \frac{3}{2}\) radians. Answer: (b) \(\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^\text{rad}\). 10. **Problem:** Calculate \(x + y\) if \((1 - i^6)(1 - i^9) = x + yi\). Step 1: Compute powers: \(i^6 = (i^4)(i^2) = 1 \times (-1) = -1\). Step 2: \(i^9 = i^{8} \times i = 1 \times i = i\). Step 3: Expression becomes \((1 - (-1))(1 - i) = (1 +1)(1 - i) = 2 (1 - i) = 2 - 2i\). Step 4: \(x = 2, y = -2 \Rightarrow x + y = 0\). Answer: (a) zero.
