The diagram is a polygon. Find the largest of its interior angles
300o
100o
120o
150o
Correct answer is D
Sum of interior angles = 3602
i.e 3x + 2x + 2x + x + 4x = 360o
12x = 360
x = \(\frac{360}{12}\)
x = 30o
x + c = 180
30o + c = 180
c = 180 - 30
c = 150o
-\(\frac{1}{2} \leq x\) < 3
-\(\frac{1}{2} < x \leq 3\)
-\(\frac{1}{2} < x < 3\)
-\(\frac{1}{2} \leq x \leq 3\)
Correct answer is C
2x2 - 5x - 3 = 0
2x2 - 6x + x - 3 = 0
2x(x - 3) + 1(x - 3) = 0
(2x + 1)(x - 3) = 0
2x + 1 = 0
2x = -1
x = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
x - 3 = 0
-\(\frac{1}{2}\) < x < 3
In the diagram, |SR| = |QR|. < SRP = 65o and < RPQ = 48o, find < PRQ
65o
45o
25o
19o
Correct answer is D
< RSQ = < RPQ = 48o (angle in the same segment)
< SQR < RSQ (Base angle of an isosceles \(\bigtriangleup\))
< SQR = 480
< QRS + < RSQ + < RSQ = 180o(sum of interior angles of a \(\bigtriangleup\))
i.e. < QRS + 48o + 48o = 180
< QRS = 180 - (48 + 48) = 180 - 96 = 84o
but < PRQ + < PRS = < QRS
< PRQ = < QRS - < PRS - 84 - 65
= 19o
2.32cm

The diagram is a circle with centre P. PRST are points on the circle. Find the value of < PRS
144o
72o
40o
36o
Correct answer is A
Reflex < POS = 2x (angle at centre is twice that at circumference)
reflex < POS + < POS = 350o(angles at a point)
i.e. 2x + 8x = 360o
10x = 360o
x = \(\frac{360}{10}\)
= 36o
< PRS = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
< POS(< at centre twice that circumference)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 8x = 4x
4 x 36o
< PRS = 144
