Using ruler and a pair of compasses only,
(a) construct a rhombus PQRS of side 7 cm and < PQR = 60°;
(b) locate point X such that X lies on the locus of points equidistant from PQ and QR and also equidistant from Q and R ;
(c) measure |XR|.
(a) The total surface area of two spheres are in the ratio 9 : 49. If the radius of the smaller sphere is 12 cm, find, correct to the nearest \(cm^{3}\), the volume of the bigger sphere.
(b) A cyclist starts from a point X and rides 3 km due West to a point Y. At Y, he changes direction and rides 5 km North- West to a point Z.
(i) How far is he from the starting point, correct to the nearest km? ; (ii) Find the bearing of Z from X, to the nearest degree.
The table shows the scores obtained when a fair die was thrown a number of times.
| Score | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Frequency | 2 | 5 | x | 11 | 9 | 10 |
If the probability of obtaining a 3 is 0.26, find the (a) median
(b) standard deviation of the distribution.
(a) The area of trapezium PQRS is 60\(cm^{2}\). PQ // RS, /PQ/ = 15 cm, /RS/ = 25 cm and < PSR = 60°. Calculate the : (i) perpendicular height of PQRS ; (ii) |PS|.
(b) Ade received \(\frac{3}{5}\) of a sum of money, Nelly \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the remainder while Austin took the rest. If Austin's share is greater than Nelly's share by N3,000, how much did Ade get?
(a) P varies directly as Q and inversely as the square of R. If P = 1 when Q = 8 and R = 2, find the value of Q when P = 3 and R = 5.
(b) An aeroplane flies from town A(20°N, 60°E) to town B(20°N, 20°E). (i) if the journey takes 6 hours, calculate, correct to 3 significant figures, the average speed of the aeroplane. (ii) if it then flies due North from town B to town C, 420 km away, calculate correct to the nearest degree, the latitude of town C. [Take radius of the earth = 6400 km and \(\pi\) = 3.142].
