"iv almost finished"-know i how to do nearly all of the questions thanx to you guys but there a stil a few that have still gone unanswered proberly because of their diffulculty and there a are few that i dont know how to solve but got the answer for:for example q.66 that asks to fill in the missing gap question 39 (it states the reason but why) and question 8.

so if you got the time would you please:

explain question:8,13,16,18,81 and 82 (and)

these are diagram questions:1,29,25(can you explain a step-by step method,74,75 and 79

Alrighty then.

q8. Point K lies on the line y=-4x and you're given the x value which is -2, so you sub that into the equation to get the y value.
y=-4(-2) = 8
So K is (-2, 8)

q13. The boat drops a crab pot every 10min. There are 60min in an hour. So the boat drops 6pots an hour. So, for it to drop 96 pots that would take 96/6=16hours

q16. Two whole numbers which multiply to give 231, and neither of them is one. If you look at the number, the digit sum is 6 which is a multiple of 3, so the entire number is divisible by 3. Then you just divide it by 3 to give 3 and 77 [you could also rearrange it to give 21 and 11, or 33 and 7 or whatever]

q18. (3× 10^4)× (2× 10^–6). You just multiply the 2 and 3 at the front together to give 6, and use your index laws to multiply the 10^4 and 10^-6 to give 10^-2. Which gives 6x0.01, which is 0.06

q81a] Stella is a netball player. The number of goals she scored in her first seven games was 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 8, 9. The mode is 5- mode is the most frequently occuring score.

b] Of her first 7 games, she scored 6goals in one of them, 8 in another and 9 in a third. Therefore she has a 3/7 probability of scoring at least 6goals in her next match.

c] To calculate the mean, add all the scores together and divide by the number of scores. Which is 40/7

d] After her next 3 games, for her to have a mean of 7 she'd need to bring up her total number of goals to 70 over 10 games. So she'd have to score 10 goals in each of the next 3 games, and that's the only way you can do it while keeping a range of 7.

q82a] 60L at $1.24 a litre. So she pays 60x1.24 = $74.40

b] Hers is $1.24 a litre, his is $1.16 a litre. The difference and thus the saving is 8cents per litre.

c] She uses 15L over 100km. 20 is a fifth of 100, so to travel 20 she'll use a fifth of what she uses to travel 100. Which is 1/5 x 15 = 3L

d] The saving she'd make on buying 60L at his station is 60x0.08 = $4.80
The return trip to his station and back would be 40km, which uses 6L [as in c]] which unfortunately for her would cost more than she's saving even if she bought it at his station. Silly woman.

Hope that helps :]

1,29,25(can you explain a step-by step method,74,75 and 79

Question 1?! Either thats a typo or im lost
Maths SC 2007 right?


1. 0.56

25. Okay by Pythagoras Theorem you can find the diagonals of the square.
We know that these diagonals bisect each other, as ABCD is a square.
Now use the scale given, to find out the point where Leah is 350 metres from A, and do the same for B.
Shade the region where this is always true.

29. 220 million = 220,000,000 = 2.2 * 10^8 (7 zeroes, and the decimal point)
This is scientific notation and im sure as you seem to be interested in science, would have come across this during description of distances etc.

74. Area of the two semi-circles = 1 circle = pi *4*4 = 16pi
Area of the rectangle= l * b = 8*10 = 80
Area of the shaded region= 80-16pi = ...

75. Cool math .com - The Properties of a Kite (perimeter, area, interior angles, diagonals, lengths of sides)
And more specifically: "There is one set of congruent angles. These are opposite of each other and are between sides that are different lengths. "
So the angle opposite theta and theta are equal.
Now the inner most angle (I hope you get me) of all the kites are equal (as the kites are congruent).
Secondly, all these equal angles(lets call them x for now) add up to 360. (One whole revolution)
so its 5x = 360
Hence one angle is 72.
Thus in this one kite we know have two thetas, one 30 degree angle and a 72 degree angle.
Find theta using the angle sum of quad. theorem. (2theta + 30 +72 = 360)

79. Area is either:
PQ * QS
PQ=QS=(a+b)
So PQ*QS=(a+b)^2

OR

area of the triangles + the inner square
0.5*a*b*4+c^2=2ab+c^2

alright thanx,does any know the formula for question 65? not the square but the 1/4 circle i think it theta/360 times pi or something.

Perimeter of circle = 2 x pi x r
Perimeter of 1/4 of a circle = 2 x 1/4 x pi x r
= 1/2 x pi x 4
= 2pi

Perimeter of whole figure = 4 x 4 + 2pi
