1. **Problem Statement:** We will solve several geometry and trigonometry problems involving rounding, triangle side lengths, distances in 3D, volumes, surface areas, bearings, and regression analysis. --- ### Question 35: Rounding 3978.6249 to 3 significant figures 2. The rule for rounding to 3 significant figures is to keep the first three digits from the left and round the third digit based on the fourth digit. 3. The number is 3978.6249. The first three digits are 3, 9, and 7. 4. The fourth digit is 8, which is greater than 5, so we round the third digit (7) up to 8. 5. Thus, rounded to 3 significant figures, the number is 3980. 6. Expressed in scientific notation: $3980 = 3.98 \times 10^3$. **Answer:** E 3.98 × 10^3 --- ### Question 36: Length of side BC in right triangle ABC 7. Given right triangle ABC with right angle at B, sides AB = 14 m, AC = 17 m. 8. Use Pythagoras theorem: $AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$. 9. Rearranged: $BC = \sqrt{AC^2 - AB^2} = \sqrt{17^2 - 14^2} = \sqrt{289 - 196} = \sqrt{93} \approx 9.64$ m. **Answer:** C 9.6 --- ### Question 37: Distance BE in cuboid 10. Cuboid with edges AB=6 m, BC=7 m, AE=8 m. 11. Distance BE is the space diagonal of the cuboid from B to E. 12. Use 3D distance formula: $BE = \sqrt{AB^2 + BC^2 + AE^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 7^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 49 + 64} = \sqrt{149} \approx 12.21$ m. **Answer:** C 12 m --- ### Question 38: Capacity of petrol can (cylinder) 13. Cylinder height $h=45$ cm, diameter $d=35$ cm, radius $r=17.5$ cm. 14. Volume $V = \pi r^2 h = \pi \times 17.5^2 \times 45 \approx 3.1416 \times 306.25 \times 45 = 43239.4$ cm³. 15. Convert to litres: $1$ litre = $1000$ cm³, so $V \approx 43.2$ litres. **Answer:** B 43 litres --- ### Question 39: Volume remaining after small pyramid removed 16. Large pyramid: base side $30$ m, height $20$ m. 17. Small pyramid: base side $15$ m, height $10$ m. 18. Volume of pyramid: $V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{base area} \times \text{height}$. 19. Large pyramid volume: $V_L = \frac{1}{3} \times 30^2 \times 20 = \frac{1}{3} \times 900 \times 20 = 6000$ m³. 20. Small pyramid volume: $V_S = \frac{1}{3} \times 15^2 \times 10 = \frac{1}{3} \times 225 \times 10 = 750$ m³. 21. Volume remaining: $V_R = V_L - V_S = 6000 - 750 = 5250$ m³. **Answer:** B 5250 --- ### Question 40: Volume of hemisphere with diameter 50 cm 22. Radius $r = 25$ cm. 23. Volume of sphere: $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$. 24. Volume of hemisphere: $V_H = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3$. 25. Calculate: $V_H = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.1416 \times 25^3 = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.1416 \times 15625 = 32724.9$ cm³. **Answer:** C 32 725 cm³ --- ### Question 41: Surface area of cone 26. Cone radius $r=5$ cm, height $h=12$ cm. 27. Slant height $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = \sqrt{25 + 144} = \sqrt{169} = 13$ cm. 28. Surface area $A = \pi r^2 + \pi r l = \pi r (r + l) = 3.1416 \times 5 \times (5 + 13) = 3.1416 \times 5 \times 18 = 282.74$ cm². **Answer:** B 282.7 --- ### Question 42: Height of tree using shadow lengths 29. Person height $2$ m, shadow $3$ m. 30. Tree shadow $7$ m, height $x$ m. 31. Using similar triangles: $\frac{x}{7} = \frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow x = \frac{2}{3} \times 7 = 4.67$ m. **Answer:** A 4.7 --- ### Question 43: Fraction of volume remaining after slicing cone 32. Small cone height is one third of large cone height. 33. Volume scales with cube of linear dimensions. 34. Fraction removed: $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^3 = \frac{1}{27}$. 35. Volume remaining: $1 - \frac{1}{27} = \frac{26}{27}$. **Answer:** E 26/27 --- ### Question 44: Length of unknown side $x$ in triangle 36. Given angle $34^\circ$, hypotenuse $19$. 37. Use cosine: $x = 19 \times \cos 34^\circ = 19 \times 0.8290 = 15.75$. **Answer:** C 15.8 --- ### Question 45: Angle $\theta$ in triangle 38. Opposite side $31$, adjacent side $52$. 39. Use tangent: $\theta = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{31}{52} \right) = \tan^{-1} (0.596) = 30.8^\circ$. **Answer:** A 30.8° --- ### Question 46: Height of nearby building 40. Building B height $32$ m. 41. Angle of elevation to top of building T: $50^\circ$. 42. Angle of depression to base of building T: $25^\circ$. 43. Let horizontal distance from B to base of T be $d$. 44. From angle of depression: $d = 32 \times \tan 25^\circ = 32 \times 0.4663 = 14.92$ m. 45. From angle of elevation: height difference $h = d \times \tan 50^\circ = 14.92 \times 1.1918 = 17.78$ m. 46. Total height of building T: $32 + 17.78 = 49.78$ m. 47. This conflicts with options; likely the problem expects different approach or units. 48. Recalculate using correct trigonometric relations: - Let $x$ be horizontal distance from B to T. - From angle of depression: $x = 32 \times \tan 25^\circ = 14.92$ m. - From angle of elevation: height difference $h = x \times \tan 50^\circ = 14.92 \times 1.1918 = 17.78$ m. - Height of T: $32 + 17.78 = 49.78$ m. 49. Since options are much larger, possibly distances are in different units or problem context differs. **Note:** Without diagram, final answer uncertain. --- ### Question 47: Value of $x$ in triangle 50.
