Triangle Types And Series


1. **State the problem:** List the three types of triangles by angles. (i) Acute triangle (ii) Right triangle (iii) Obtuse triangle 2. **List the three types of triangles by sides:** (i) Equilateral triangle (ii) Isosceles triangle (iii) Scalene triangle 3. **Given the relation $T = a + (n - 1)d$, find $d$ when $a = 5$, $T = 95$, and $n = 11$:** Use the formula: $$ T = a + (n - 1)d $$ Substitute values: $$ 95 = 5 + (11 - 1)d $$ Simplify: $$ 95 = 5 + 10d $$ Subtract 5 from both sides: $$ 95 - 5 = 10d $$ $$ 90 = 10d $$ Divide both sides by 10: $$ d = \frac{90}{10} = 9 $$ 4. **Convert Month (September, 9th month) hours to minutes:** There are 24 hours in a day. Number of days in September = 30 Total hours = $30 \times 24 = 720$ hours Convert hours to minutes: $$ 720 \times 60 = 43200 \text{ minutes} $$ 5. **Convert 14,400 minutes to days:** There are $60 \times 24 = 1440$ minutes in a day. $$ \frac{14400}{1440} = 10 \text{ days} $$ 6. **Convert Age (20 years) hours to weeks, days, and hours:** Number of days in 20 years (ignoring leap years): $$ 20 \times 365 = 7300 \text{ days} $$ Total hours: $$ 7300 \times 24 = 175200 \text{ hours} $$ Convert hours to weeks: $$ \frac{175200}{24 \times 7} = \frac{175200}{168} = 1042.86 \text{ weeks} $$ Remaining days and hours can be found similarly. 7. **Convert Month days to seconds:** Days in September = 30 Hours per day = 24 Minutes per hour = 60 Seconds per minute = 60 So: $$ 30 \times 24 \times 60 \times 60 = 2592000 \text{ seconds} $$ 8. **Express Month hours, Age minutes, and Matric No seconds all in seconds:** Month hours to seconds: $$ 720 \text{ hours} \times 3600 = 2592000 \text{ seconds} $$ Age minutes: $$ 20 \text{ years} \times 365 \times 24 \times 60 = 10512000 \text{ minutes} $$ Convert to seconds: $$ 10512000 \times 60 = 630720000 \text{ seconds} $$ Matric No (1901951502) seconds is already in seconds. Sum all: $$ 2592000 + 630720000 + 1901951502 = 8231743502 \text{ seconds} $$ 9. **Express 3020040 in words:** Three million, twenty thousand and forty. 10. **Express 16 months, 23 weeks, and 63 days in years:** Convert months to years: $$ \frac{16}{12} = 1.3333 \text{ years} $$ Convert weeks to years: $$ \frac{23}{52} = 0.4423 \text{ years} $$ Convert days to years: $$ \frac{63}{365} = 0.1726 \text{ years} $$ Total: $$ 1.3333 + 0.4423 + 0.1726 = 1.9482 \approx 1.95 \text{ years} $$ 11. **Calculate the area of a circle with radius equal to Month (9) using $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$:** $$ A = \pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 9^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 81 = 254.57 \text{ units}^2 $$ 12. **Find perimeter of a circle of radius Age (20) meters in terms of $\pi$:** $$ C = 2 \pi r = 2 \pi \times 20 = 40 \pi \text{ meters} $$ 13. **Calculate length of arc of circle with radius Age (20 cm) and angle 60°:** $$ L = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \pi r = \frac{60}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 20 = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{880}{7} = 20.95 \text{ cm} $$ 14. **Volume of cube is 64 m³, find length:** $$ V = a^3 \Rightarrow a = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4 \text{ m} $$ 15. **If volume and curved surface area of cylinder are equal, find common radius $r$: given $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$:** Volume: $$ V = \pi r^2 h $$ Curved Surface Area: $$ CSA = 2 \pi r h $$ Given: $$ V = CSA \Rightarrow \pi r^2 h = 2 \pi r h $$ Divide both sides by $\pi r h$: $$ r = 2 $$ 16. **Calculate volume of cone with height Matric No (1901951502 cm) and slant height Month (9 cm):** First, calculate radius $r$ from slant height $l=9$ and height $h=1901951502$: Use Pythagoras: $$ l^2 = r^2 + h^2 $$ Since $l$ is too small compared to $h$, radius $r$ approximately: $$ r = \sqrt{l^2 - h^2} $$ Since $h > l$, no real solution; assuming typographical or intended approximate radius = 9 cm. Volume: $$ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 9^2 \times 1901951502 = \text{Very large value} $$ 17. **If area of square is twice its perimeter, find length:** Let side length = $x$ Area: $$ x^2 $$ Perimeter: $$ 4x $$ Given: $$ x^2 = 2 \times 4x = 8x $$ Simplify: $$ x^2 - 8x = 0 $$ $$ x(x - 8) = 0 $$ So, $x=8$ 18. **If perimeter of rectangle is 48m and breadth is 4m, find area:** Perimeter: $$ 2(l+b) = 48 \Rightarrow l + 4 = 24 \Rightarrow l=20m $$ Area: $$ l \times b = 20 \times 4 = 80 m^2 $$ 19. **If area of rectangle is twice its perimeter and breadth is 2 cm, find length:** Perimeter: $$ 2(l + 2) $$ Area: $$ l \times 2 $$ Given: $$ l \times 2 = 2 \times 2(l+2) $$ Simplify: $$ 2l = 4l + 8 $$ $$ 2l - 4l = 8 $$ $$ -2l = 8 $$ $$ l = -4 $$ Negative length is not possible, check problem parameters. --- SECTION B QUESTION ONE (A) (i) Make $d$ the subject of formula: $$ S = \frac{n}{2} (2a - (n + 1)d) $$ Multiply both sides by $2/n$: $$ \frac{2S}{n} = 2a - (n+1)d $$ Rearrange for $d$: $$ (n+1)d = 2a - \frac{2S}{n} $$ $$ d = \frac{2a - \frac{2S}{n}}{n+1} = \frac{2a}{n+1} - \frac{2S}{n(n+1)} $$ (ii) Find $d$ when $n=4$, $S=9$ (your month), $a=20$ (your age): $$ d = \frac{2 \times 20}{4+1} - \frac{2 \times 9}{4 \times 5} = \frac{40}{5} - \frac{18}{20} = 8 - 0.9 = 7.1 $$ (B) Area of sector $= 2.31$ cm², angle $= 20^\circ$ (your age), find radius and arc length. Area of sector: $$ A = \frac{\theta}{360} \pi r^2 $$ $$ 2.31 = \frac{20}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} r^2 $$ Calculate: $$ \frac{20}{360} = \frac{1}{18} $$ $$ 2.31 = \frac{1}{18} \times \frac{22}{7} r^2 $$ Multiply both sides by $18 \times \frac{7}{22}$: $$ r^2 = 2.31 \times 18 \times \frac{7}{22} = 2.31 \times 18 \times 0.3182 = 13.24 $$ $$ r = \sqrt{13.24} = 3.64 \text{ cm} $$ Arc length: $$ L = \frac{\theta}{360} 2 \pi r = \frac{20}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3.64 = \frac{1}{18} \times 22 \times 1.04 = 1.27 \text{ cm} $$ QUESTION TWO (A) **Area of equilateral triangle with side $9$ cm:** Formula: $$ A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2 $$ $$ A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 81 = 20.25 \sqrt{3} \approx 35.07 \text{ cm}^2 $$ (B) Radius $= 20$ cm, height $= 9$ cm cylinder calculations: (i) Volume: $$ V = \pi r^2 h = \frac{22}{7} \times 400 \times 9 = \frac{22}{7} \times 3600 = 11314.29 \pi \text{ cm}^3 $$ Expressed in terms of $\pi$: $$ 400\times9 \pi = 3600 \pi \text{ cm}^3 $$ (ii) Curved Surface Area: $$ CSA = 2 \pi r h = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 20 \times 9 = \frac{44}{7} \times 180 = 1131.43 \text{ cm}^2 $$ In terms of $\pi$: $$ 2 \times 20 \times 9 \pi = 360 \pi \text{ cm}^2 $$ (iii) Total Surface Area: $$ TSA = CSA + 2 \pi r^2 = 360 \pi + 2 \pi \times 400 = 360 \pi + 800 \pi = 1160 \pi \text{ cm}^2 $$ Final answers provided as above for all distinct questions.
