(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. (stackrelfrown{POQ} = 160°), (stackrelfrown{QSR} = 45°) and (stackrelfrown{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 = 2sqrt{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°)
