PYTHAGORAS-1


Find the length  AC. [Diagram not to scale]



Suluhu

We will use the PYTHAGORAS theorem [ a2 + b2 = c2 ]

a2 + b2 = c2

AB2 + BC2 = AC2

32 + 42 = AC2

9 + 16 = AC2

25 = AC2 [Here, we find the square root of 25]

5 = AC


Hence AC = 5mm

CIRCLE PERIMETER-2


Find the perimeter of the circle below






Solution

Diameter = 2xr =2x70=140

So, D=140mm

Perimeter = ∏ x D


                = 22 x 14070
                    71

                = 22 x 70


                = 1540



Hence perimeter is 1540 mm.

GEOMETRY-1


Find the value of x in the following figure



Solution

2x + 2x + 8x + 8x = 3600

4x + 16x = 3600

20x = 3600

20x   = 3600
20         20

X = 180


Hence x is 180

AREA OF RECTANGLE-1

Find area of the following rectangle (diagram not to scale)




Solution

Area = Length x width

         = 38 x 20

         =760m2


Hence area is 760m2

AREA OF CIRCULAR PRISM-1



Find area of the following circular prism which is closed on both sides




Solution

Area = 2∏rh + 2∏ x r2

=(2 x 22 x 355 x 100) + (2 x 22 x 355 x 35)
           71                                71

=(2 x 22 x 5 x 100) + (2 x 22 x 5 x 35)
                                           
=(44 x 500) + (44 x 5 x 35)

=22000+ 7700

=29700

Hence area is 29700 cm2
