Mathematics Theory (a)  In the diagram, AB // CD and BC // FE. (stackrelfrown{CDE} = 75°) and…

(a) 

In the diagram, AB // CD and BC // FE. (stackrelfrown{CDE} = 75°) and (stackrelfrown{DEF} = 26°). Find the angles marked x and y.

(b) 

The diagram shows a circle ABCD with centre O and radius 7 cm. The reflex angle AOC = 190° and < DAO = 35°. Find :

(i) < ABC ; (ii) < ADC.

(c) Using the diagram in (b) above, calculate, correct to 3 significant figures, the length of : (i) arc ABC ; (ii) the chord AD. [Take (pi = 3.142)].

Explanation

(a)  105° + 26° + x = 180°

131° + x = 180°

x = 180° – 131° 

= 49°.

131° + x + 131° + 360 – y = 360°

131° + 49° + 131° + 360 – y = 360°

671° – y = 360° 

y = 671° – 360°

= 311°.

(b)(i) (stackrelfrown{ABC} = frac{1}{2} stackrelfrown{AOC} reflex)

= (frac{1}{2} times 190° = 95°)

(ii) (stackrelfrown{ADC} = frac{1}{2} stackrelfrown{AOC})

= (frac{1}{2} (360° – 190°))

= (frac{1}{2} times 170°)

= 85°

(c) (i) (stackrelfrown{ABC} = frac{360 – 190}{360} times 2pi r)

= (frac{170}{360} times 2 times 3.142 times 7)

= (20.77 cm)

(approxeq 20.8 cm) (3 significant figures)

(ii) (AD = 2 times 7cos 35)

= (14 times 0.8192)

= (11.468 cm approxeq 11.5 cm) (3 significant figures)
