(a) Simplify : \(\sqrt{1001_{two}}\), leaving your answer in base two.

(b) 

In the diagram, O is the centre of the circle radius x. /PQ/ = z, /OK/ = y and < OKP = 90°. Find the value of z in terms of x and y.

(c) 

In the diagram, P, Q, R and S are points of the circle centre O. \(\stackrel\frown{POQ} = 160°\), \(\stackrel\frown{QSR} = 45°\) and \(\stackrel\frown{PQS} = 40°\). Calculate, (i) < QPS ; (ii) < RQS.

Explanation

(a) \(1001_{2} = 1 \times 2^{3} + 0 \times 2^{2} + 0 \times 2^{1} + 1 \times 2^{0}\)

= \(8 + 0 + 0 + 1\)

= 9

\(\sqrt{9} = 3_{10}\)

2 3
2 1 r 1
  0 r 1

\(\therefore \sqrt{1001_{2}} = 11_{2}\)

(b) In \(\Delta QOP, OQ = OP\)

\(\therefore QK = KP\)

\(\Delta QOK = \Delta POK\) (right- angled triangle)

In \(\Delta POK\),

\(OP^{2} = PK^{2} + OK^{2}\)

\(x^{2} = y^{2} + (\frac{z}{2})^{2}\)

\(\frac{z^{2}}{4} = x^{2} - y^{2}\)

\(z^{2} = 4x^{2} - 4y^{2}\)

\(z = \sqrt{4(x^{2} - y^{2})}\)

\(z = 2\sqrt{x^{2} - y^{2}}\)

(c)(i) \(< PSQ = \frac{1}{2}(< POQ) = \frac{1}{2}(160°)\)

= 80°

In \(\Delta PSQ\),

\(< PQS + < QPS + < PSQ = 180°\)

\(40° + < QPS + 80° = 180°\)

\(< QPS = 180° - 120° = 60°\)

(ii) \(< PSR = < PSQ + < QSR\)

= \(80° + 45°\)

= \(125°\)

\(< PQS = < PQO + < RQS \)

= \(40° + < RQS\)

\(< PSR + < PQS = 180°\)

\(\therefore 125° + 40° + < RQS = 180°\)

\(< RQS = 180° - 165°\)

= \(15°\)
