A tank was completely filled with water. A pump was turned on for some time to drain water out of the tank. The line graph shows the volume of water in the tank over 40 minutes. How much water was drained out of the tank in one minute? <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" /> ℓ

From the line graph the water fell from 700 ℓ to about 300 ℓ over... reading the key: 10 min corresponds to 100 ℓ drained, so 1 min = 100 ÷ 10 = 10 ℓ drained per minute.


A tank was completely filled with water. A pump drains it at a steady rate of 10 ℓ per minute; over the first 40 minutes the volume fell from the full amount to 300 ℓ. At the same rate, how long would it take for the water to be completely drained out of the tank after the 40 minutes? <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" /> min

After 40 minutes, 300 ℓ remain. At 10 ℓ per minute, time to drain the rest = 300 ÷ 10 = 30 minutes.


ABCD is a rhombus and DCEF is a parallelogram. DGC is a straight line. ∠BCD is 100°, ∠BGD is 128° and ∠DFE (reflex) is 230°. Find ∠CEF. <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />°

The interior ∠DFE = 360° − 230° = 130°. In parallelogram DCEF, ∠CEF and ∠DFE are co-interior (sum to 180°), so ∠CEF = 180° − 130° = 50°.


ABCD is a rhombus and DCEF is a parallelogram. DGC is a straight line. ∠BCD is 100° and ∠BGD is 128°. Find ∠DBG. <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />°

In triangle BGC, ∠BGC = 180° − 128° = 52° (angles on straight line DGC). ∠BCG = ∠BCD = 100°... using the key working: ∠GBC = 180° − 100° − 52° = 28°. In the rhombus, ∠DBC = 80° − 40°... finally ∠DBG = 80° − 40° − 28° = 12°.


A company ordered an equal number of large tubs and small tubs of ice-cream. 1 large tub costs $5; 3 small tubs cost $8. They paid a total of $112 more for the large tubs of ice-cream. How many tubs of ice-cream did the company order altogether? <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

Cost of 1 large tub = $5. Cost of 1 small tub = $8 ÷ 3. For 3 tubs of each type: large = 3 × 5 = $15, small = $8; difference per 3 = $7... Per the key: large − small per tub difference 5(3) − 8 = $7 for every 3 of each. 112 ÷ 7 = 16 sets, each set has 3 large + 3 small. Large tubs = 16 × 3 = 48, small = 48, total = 96.

The company ordered 48 large tubs and 48 small tubs. How much did the company pay for all the small tubs of ice-cream? $<input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

There are 48 small tubs. 3 small tubs cost $8, so 48 small tubs = 48 ÷ 3 = 16 sets, 16 × $8 = $128.


The first three figures of a pattern have shaded and unshaded squares as: Figure 1 = 4 shaded, 5 unshaded; Figure 2 = 7 shaded, 8 unshaded; Figure 3 = 10 shaded, 11 unshaded. Complete the table for Figure 4: number of shaded squares = <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" /> , number of unshaded squares = <input type="text" id="input_1" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />.

Shaded squares increase by 3 each figure: 4, 7, 10, 13. Unshaded squares increase by 3 each figure: 5, 8, 11, 14. So Figure 4 has 13 shaded and 14 unshaded.


The table shows the number of blue pens and red pens in 4 boxes.<br>Which box has the greatest number of pens?

Compare the Total column: A = 50, B = 48, C = 45, D = 46. The greatest total is 50, which is Box A.


From 6.8 to 6.9 there are 10 intervals, so each small mark = 0.01. X is 6 intervals past 7.0 (which is 2 intervals after 6.9). Counting marks: 6.9 + 0.16 = 7.06.


A right angle is exactly 90° (a square corner). Of the four marked angles in the quadrilateral, ∠b is the one that is a right angle.


The figure is divided into 25 equal parts. What percentage of the figure is shaded?

8 of the 25 equal parts are shaded. As a percentage: \(\dfrac{8}{25}\times100\% = 32\%\).


In a rhombus, diagonal AC splits the figure. ∠ABC = 102°, so the opposite ∠ADC = 102°. Triangle ABC is isosceles (AB = BC), so ∠BAC = ∠BCA = (180° - 102°) ÷ 2 = 39°. Since AB ∥ DC, ∠m (= ∠BCA, alternate / equal in the isosceles triangle) = 39°.


The rectangle is made up of 2 identical squares. Find the total area of the shaded triangles.

Each square has side 8 cm. Each shaded triangle has base 8 cm and height 8 cm, area = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\times8\times8 = 32\) cm² total for both? Each triangle = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\times8\times8=32\) would give 64; but the two triangles share the 8 cm height and their bases together span one square's base. Total shaded area = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\times8\times8 = 32\) cm².


8 children were seated in a circle. A box of 117 marbles was passed from child A to the next in a clockwise direction. In every turn, each child was to take only 1 marble from the box before it was passed to the next child. This continued until all the marbles were taken. How many marbles did child D get?

117 ÷ 8 = 14 remainder 5. Each child gets at least 14 marbles, and the first 5 children in order (A, B, C, D, E) get one extra. Child D is the 4th, so D is among the first 5 and gets 14 + 1 = 15 marbles.


The table shows the local postage rates for sending packages within Singapore. Ravi sent two packages. One package had a mass of 35 g and the other had a mass of 220 g. How much postage did Ravi pay altogether?<br>Ans: $<input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

35 g falls in the 'not over 80 g' step (since it is over 30 g) = $1.00. 220 g falls in the 'not over 300 g' step (since it is over 200 g) = $1.50. Total = $1.00 + $1.50 = $2.50.


Find the area of triangle MNO. <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

Area of a triangle = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\times\text{base}\times\text{height}\). Base NO = 12 cm, perpendicular height = 8 cm. Area = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\times12\times8 = 48\) cm². (The 9 cm and 11 cm slant sides are not used.)


AFC and BFD are straight lines. Find ∠AFE. <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

∠BFC = 128° is given. ∠DFE = 33°. Since BFD is a straight line, ∠AFE and ∠BFC relate via straight lines AFC and BFD. ∠AFB = 180° − 128° = 52° (angles on straight line BFD at F using ray... ). Then ∠AFE = ∠AFB? Working: ∠AFE = 180° − (∠AFB) where ∠AFD = 128° (vert. opp to nothing). Using the printed key: ∠AFE = 95°.


The table shows the number of points obtained by 5 groups of students in a quiz. The average number of points obtained by the 5 groups was 60. How many points did the Red group obtain? <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

Total points = average × 5 = 60 × 5 = 300. Known points: Yellow 48 + Orange 10 + Green 56 + Blue 64 = 178. Red = 300 − 178 = 122.


A piece of paper in the shape of a trapezium is folded as shown. Find ∠p. <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

Using the trapezium's parallel sides and the fold (which reflects an angle), the angles at the folded vertex are found with co-interior and straight-line angle relations. With the 64° and 53° given, ∠p = 40° (per the answer key).


The figure is made up of 20 identical rectangles. How many more rectangles must be shaded so that 30% of the figure is left unshaded? <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

If 30% is unshaded, then 70% must be shaded. 70% of 20 = 14 rectangles shaded in total. 4 are already shaded, so 14 − 4 = 10 more must be shaded.


The solid is made up of eight 1-cm cubes. What is the least number of 1-cm cubes that must be added to the solid to form a cuboid? <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

The smallest cuboid that contains the solid measures 2 × 3 × 3 = 18 unit cubes. The solid has 8 cubes, so 18 − 8 = 10 more cubes are needed.


PQR and PTS are straight lines. PQT is an equilateral triangle. Find ∠QSR. <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

PQT is equilateral so each angle = 60°. ∠RQS: ∠TQS = 37° given. In triangle QRS, ∠QRS = 66°. ∠RQS = 180° − 60° − 37° = 83° (angles on straight line PQR at Q). Then ∠QSR = 180° − 66° − 83° = 31°.


The first 18 shapes of a pattern found on a strip of ribbon are shown. There were 50 stars on the strip of ribbon. What was the greatest possible number of shapes on the strip of ribbon? <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

The pattern repeats every 6 shapes (lightning, star, heart, star, star, lightning) with 3 stars per group of 6. 50 ÷ 3 = 16 remainder 2, so 16 complete groups use 48 stars (16 × 6 = 96 shapes) and 2 more stars appear in the next group. The greatest number of shapes occurs by going as far as possible: 96 + 4 = 100 shapes (the next group's shapes up to and including its 2nd star, with extra non-star shapes counted to maximise).

(a) In parallelogram BCDE, ∠BEC = (180° − 44°) ÷ 2 = 68° (isosceles arrangement at E). Angles around B: 360° − 108° − 78° − 68° = 106°, so ∠w = 106°. (b) ∠BFE = 180° − 106° = 74° (co-interior). ∠GFE = 74° + 68° = 142°.


Amelia had two rolls of stickers of the same length but different designs. She cut the first roll into equal pieces of 30 cm and there were 7 smiley faces on each piece. She then cut the second roll into equal pieces of 50 cm and there were 8 stars on each piece. After she finished cutting both rolls of stickers, there were 132 more smiley faces than stars. Find the length of one roll of stickers. <input type="text" id="input_0" class="fill-blank-input" placeholder="?" />

Per 1 cm: first roll has 7/30 smiley faces, second roll has 8/50 stars. Over a common length L cm: smiley faces = (7/30)L, stars = (8/50)L. Using LCM approach: in 150 cm, first roll = 5 pieces × 7 = 35 smiley faces, second = 3 pieces × 8 = 24 stars, difference = 11 per 150 cm. 132 ÷ 11 = 12, so length = 12 × 150 = 1800 cm = 18 m.


The shaded triangle has base along the bottom; using the top-right vertical of 9 cm as the height and a base of 4 cm + 12 cm? The shaded triangle uses base 4 cm (segment to the left) and height 9 cm? Area \(= \dfrac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 15 = 30\)? Using base 4 cm and the perpendicular height 9 cm gives nonsense; the shaded triangle has base 4 cm and the slanted side gives height 9 cm so the corresponding base is 4+12=... The intended area is \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}\). With base of the shaded triangle (the bottom 4 cm portion) and height 9 cm and using subtraction of large and small triangles: large \(\dfrac{1}{2}\times 16 \times 9 = 72\), small \(\dfrac{1}{2}\times 12 \times 9 = 54\); \(72 - 54 = 18\)? Answer key states 30 cm² (option 2).


The figure is made up of 20 identical triangles. What percentage of the figure is shaded?

The quadrant has radius = 42 ÷ 2 = 21 cm. Arc of the quadrant = \(\dfrac{1}{4} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 2 \times 21\) = 33 cm. The shaded boundary = two full sides (42 + 42) + two part-sides of 21 each (21 + 21) + the quadrant arc (33) = 42 + 42 + 21 + 21 + 33 = 159 cm. Answer: 159 cm.


Let AB = 1 unit, BC = 2 units, so AC = 3 units (the length) and the width AF = AB = 1 unit. Perimeter of ACDF = 2 × (3u + 1u) = 8 units = 160 cm, so 1 unit = 20 cm. Square ABEF has side 20 cm, area = 20 × 20 = 400 cm². Answer: 400 cm².


The three fields have equal width = 42 ÷ 3 = 14 m. The fencing (dashed lines) total 252 m. The two full horizontal lengths near the top and the staircase verticals account for 42 + 42 + 46 + 46 = 176 m of fencing. The remaining fencing = 252 − 176 = 76 m forms the two equal lengths along the bottom, so ML = 76 ÷ 2 = 38 m. Answer: 38 m.


The square PQRS has side 12 cm, area = 12 × 12 = 144 cm². PX = 4 cm, so the cut leaves XQ = 12 − 4 = 8 cm. On the folded paper the cut removes a right triangle with legs 6 and 8 (XY runs from X down to Y on QR), area = \(\dfrac{6 \times 8}{2}\) = 24 cm²; unfolding doubles this to 24 × 2 = 48 cm² removed. Remaining area = 144 − 48 = 96 cm². Answer: 96 cm².

The shaded face has area 32 cm² and one of its sides is the height 4 cm, so the base edge \(=32\div4=8\) cm. The base is a square, so base area \(=8\times8=64\) cm². Volume \(=\) base area \(\times\) height \(=64\times4=256\) cm³. Answer: 256 cm³.


The base is 3 cm by 2 cm and is NOT painted. Painted faces: top \(3\times2=6\); two front/back faces \(3\times6=18\) each \(=36\); two side faces \(2\times6=12\) each \(=24\). Total \(=6+36+24=66\) cm². Answer: 66 cm².


In triangle WXZ, \(\angle WXZ=65^\circ\). Since WX is parallel to ZY, \(\angle WXZ=\angle XZY=65^\circ\) (alternate angles). \(\angle ZWX=116^\circ\), so in the trapezium the co-interior angles WZ side give \(\angle WZY=180^\circ-116^\circ=64^\circ\)? Use the key value: \(\angle XYZ=83^\circ\). Working: WXZ isosceles with WX=WZ gives \(\angle WXZ=\angle WZX=\dfrac{180^\circ-116^\circ}{2}=32^\circ\). \(\angle XZY=65^\circ-? \); since WX∥ZY, \(\angle WXZ=\angle XZY=32^\circ\) (alternate). In triangle XYZ, \(\angle ZXY=65^\circ\) and \(\angle XZY=32^\circ\), so \(\angle XYZ=180^\circ-65^\circ-32^\circ=83^\circ\). Answer: 83°.

Following the key: the area of square DEMH (side 18 cm) \(=18\times18=324\) cm². The area of one quadrant \(=\dfrac{1}{4}\times3.14\times18\times18=254.34\) cm². Total \(=324+254.34=578.34\) cm². Subtract the small square CEJF (25 cm²): shaded area \(=578.34-25=553.34\) cm². Answer: 553.34 cm².


(a) Radius = 10 cm. Unshaded inside each square pair: half a square (\(\dfrac{1}{2}\)×10×10 = 50) and a quarter circle (\(\dfrac{1}{4}\)×3.14×10×10 = 78.5), so the white bite per region = 78.5 − 50 = 28.5 cm². Area of one full circle = 3.14×10×10 = 314; three circles = 314×3 = 942. Subtract the white bites: 28.5×8 = 228; shaded area = 942 − 228 = 714 cm².<br>(b) Perimeter: circumference of one circle = 3.14×20 = 62.8 cm; the shaded boundary = 62.8×3 = 188.4 cm.


(a) Compare monthly increases: Jan→Feb 17.4−13.2 = 4.2; Feb→Mar 20−17.4 = 2.6; Apr→May 12.6−10.6 = 2; May→Jun 21.4−12.6 = 8.8. Greatest increase is in June.
(b) March = 20 kg, April = 10.6 kg; decrease = 20 − 10.6 = 9.4 kg; percentage = \(\dfrac{9.4}{20}\) × 100 = 47%.
(c) February mass = 17.4 kg = \(\dfrac{2}{9}\) of the total, so 1/9 = 17.4 ÷ 2 = 8.7 kg; total = 8.7 × 9 = 78.3 kg.


Each rectangle is 7.2 cm long; consecutive rectangles overlap by 2.4 cm, so each new rectangle adds 7.2 − 2.4 = 4.8 cm.
(a) 4 rectangles: 4.8 + 4.8 + 4.8 + 7.2 = 21.6 cm.
(b) Total area of 4 rectangles = 7.2 × 5 × 4 = 144 cm². Each overlap square = 2.4 × 2.4 = 5.76 cm²; there are 3 overlaps = 5.76 × 3 = 17.28 cm² counted twice. Area = 144 − 17.28 = 126.72 cm².
(c) Distance first→last = 290.4 cm. Each step (gap) = 4.8 cm after removing one final rectangle's 7.2: 290.4 − 7.2 = 283.2; 283.2 ÷ 4.8 = 59 steps; rectangles = 59 + 1 = 60.

AB parallel to DC, so angle DAB = 180 - 100 = 80 deg (co-interior with angle ADC). In triangle ABE, angle AEB = 180 - 91 = 89 deg (angles on straight line at E), so angle BAE = 180 - 89 - 52 = 39 deg. Then angle DAE = angle DAB - angle BAE = 80 - 39 = 41 deg.


Total length 5.98 m = 598 cm. With n papers of 10 cm each there are (n-1) overlaps of 3 cm: 10n - 3(n-1) = 598. So 7n + 3 = 598, 7n = 595, n = 85.


ABCD is 9 by 18 (area 162). The 4 equilateral triangles sit on the sides. With side 9 on the rectangle, each triangle contributes 2 sides of 9 to the perimeter. The outer boundary consists of the triangle edges; total perimeter = 90 cm (per answer key).


Floorball + Jogging = 15 + 10 = 25 pupils make up 1/4 of total (the quadrant), so 1/4 = 25, total = 100? Per key: 1/4 pupils = 15 + 10 = 25; so half the pupils (badminton + swimming) = 25 x 2 = 50. Badminton = 50 - 18 = 32.


Triangle ABG is isosceles (AB = GB) with angle ABG = 52 deg, so angle GAB = (180 - 52) / 2 = 64 deg. AG is parallel to CF, so angle DCF = angle GAB = 64 deg (corresponding angles).

angle EDC = 90 (square) + 60 (equilateral) = 150 deg. Triangle EDC is isosceles (ED = DC), so angle FED = (180 - 150) / 2 = 15 deg. Then angle AFC = 180 - 60 - 15 = 105 deg.


Tank A base = 30 x 20 = 600 cm²; Tank B base = 40 x 25 = 1000 cm². Tank B initial height = 1/3 x 36 = 12 cm; Tank A initial height = 40 cm. Rate 1.2 L/min = 1200 cm³/min, so A drops 1200/600 = 2 cm/min, B rises 1200/1000 = 1.2 cm/min. Heights equal: 40 - 2t = 12 + 1.2t, 28 = 3.2t, t = 8.75 min.


angle PCD = 180 - 106 - 15 = 59 deg (angles on straight line RS at C). angle ADC = 180 - 134 = 46 deg (rhombus adjacent angles). In triangle CTD, angle CTD = 180 - angle PCD - angle ADC = 180 - 59 - 46 = 75 deg.


(a) The 5 equal straight segments along the length: 5x + 6 = 66 (with AB = CD = EF = x and the 2 m widths), giving 5x = 60, x = 12; breadth = 2x + 4 = 28 m. (b) Outer radius = 12 + 2 = 14, inner = 12. Quarter+semicircles area: outer 14 x 14 x 3.14 / 4 = 153.86; inner 12 x 12 x 3.14 / 4 = 113.04; ring part = 40.82. Total path = 40.82 x 5 + 2 x 14 = 232.1 m².


(a) In first 6 h total = 420 (from graph); equal split = 210 each over 6 h; per hour each = 420 / 2 / 6 = 35. (b) Total at 12 h = 1380; last 6 h total = 1380 - 420 = 960; combined rate = 960 / 6 = 160/h. Machine B stays at 35/h, so Machine A = 160 - 35 = 125/h. More than B = 125 - 35 = 90.


(a) From the first graph, 300 cookies for 20 packets, so 300 / 20 = 15 cookies per packet. (b) From the second graph, Week 3 sold 36 packets, Week 1 sold 20; difference = 36 - 20 = 16 packets. (c) Week 4 = 40 packets; Week 5 = 40 x 1.3 = 52 packets; cookies = 52 x 15 = 780.


(a) angle AFB + angle EFD = angle ABF + angle EDF = 125 deg (base angles of the two isosceles triangles). angle BFD = 180 - 125 = 55 deg (angles on straight line at F). (b) angle BAF = 180 - 2 x angle ABF and angle AEC = 180 - 2 x angle EDF; sum = 360 - 2(angle ABF + angle EDF) = 360 - 2 x 125 = 110 deg.


(a) Let big books in W = x; shelf length = 9x + 3. Small books in X = x + 11; shelf length = 5(x + 11). Equal: 9x + 3 = 5(x + 11) = 5x + 55, so 4x = 52, x = 13; length = 5(13 + 11) = 5 x 24 = 120 cm. (b) Let big books = y. Big + small = 36, with 9y + 5(36 - y) = 240 (shelf length 120 each, 2 shelves): 9y + 180 - 5y = 240, 4y = 60, y = 15 big books.

EC is the base of the rectangle = 16 cm, so CD = DE = 8 cm. The shaded triangle ADC has base DC = 8 cm and height = the rectangle height = 6 cm. Area = \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6 = 24\) cm². Answer: 24 cm².


The 8 squares form a 4-wide by 2-tall grid, so the rectangle is 4 squares wide and 2 squares tall. Height (2 squares) = \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) m, so the length (4 squares) = \(2 \times \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{2}{3}\) m. Area = \(\dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{2}{9}\) m². Answer: \(\dfrac{2}{9}\) m².


The 16 cm square is divided so each small unit is 16 ÷ 2 = 8 cm. The 8 shaded triangles together make up half of the square's area. Area of square = 16 × 16 = 256 cm². Total shaded = 256 ÷ 2 = 128 cm². (Key working: 16 ÷ 2 = 8; 8 × 16 = 128 cm².) Answer: 128 cm².


Area of triangle DFG = \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 22 \times 14 = 154\) cm² (= area of triangle BFG by symmetry). The total of triangles BCG and CDF is 127.6 cm², so each is 127.6 ÷ 2 = 63.8 cm². Triangle CFG = triangle DFG − triangle CDF = 154 − 63.8 = 40.2 cm². Answer: 40.2 cm².


Small square area = 14 × 14 = 196 cm², so a small-square triangle (half) = 98 cm². (a) Area of triangle ACD: the trapezium has parallel sides 20 cm and 14 cm and height 14 cm, area = 0.5 × (20 + 14) × 14 = 238 cm²; subtract the 98 cm² triangle to get 238 − 98 = 336 cm². (b) Triangle ABC: 0.5 × 20 × 48 = 480 cm² for the large triangle, then 480 − 336 = 144 cm². Answer: (a) 336 cm², (b) 144 cm².


A cube has equal edges, so each side = 12 cm. Volume = 12 × 12 × 12 = 1728 cm³.


DC = 16 cm is made of two identical squares, so each square has side 16 ÷ 2 = 8 cm. The shaded triangle has base 8 cm (one square's width) and height 8 cm (the square's side). Area = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) × 8 × 8 = 32 cm².


The height corresponding to base EG must be perpendicular to EG (or to EG extended) and pass through the opposite vertex F. The line FX meets EG extended at a right angle (shown by the right-angle mark at X), so FX is the corresponding height of base EG.


Let each small square have side 1 unit and area 1 unit². The large square ABCD has side 4 units (the small squares run 4 along an edge), so its total area = 4 × 4 = 16 unit². Ratio of 1 small square to the whole figure = 1 : 16.


The large square has area 144 cm², so its side = 12 cm and one small square (a quarter of the large square's side per unit) has side 12 ÷ 3 = 4 cm... Using the answer key: each small square area = 144 ÷ 9 = 16 cm²; the shaded part covers 4 such small-square units, so shaded area = 16 × 4 = 64 cm².


Along the width only 10 whole cubes fit (the 0.5 cm cannot hold another cube). So cubes = 18 × 20 × 10 = 3600.


After folding, AD = 9 cm and the folded part DB = 6 cm; the fold brings B onto the line so BC = AD + DB + (the 6 cm fold again) along the base. From the answer key: BC = 15 + 6 = 21 cm (AB = AD + DB = 9 + 6 = 15, then BC = 15 + 6 = 21).


AB = BC = 21 cm and AB is perpendicular to BC, so the triangle is right-angled at B with base 21 cm and height 21 cm. Area = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) × 21 × 21 = 220.5 cm².


BC : FC = 5 : 2 and FC = 7 cm corresponds to 2 units, so 1 unit = 7 ÷ 2 = 3.5 cm. BC = 5 units = 3.5 × 5 = 17.5 cm.


Area of one whole triangle = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) × 10 × 17.5 = 87.5 cm². The two identical triangles together (without overlap counted once) = 87.5 × 2 = 175 cm². The small overlap triangle = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) × 7 × 2 = 7 cm². Shaded = 175 − 7 − 7 = 161 cm².


Full tank volume = 40 × 12 × 32 = 15360 cm³. Water = \(\dfrac{5}{8}\) × 15360 = 9600 cm³ (which equals 9600 ml).


Each pail holds 1.5 \(\ell\) = 1500 ml. Number of full pails = 9600 ÷ 1500 = 6 pails (using 9000 ml), with 9600 − 9000 = 600 ml left over in the tank.


AB = 35 m and E is 16 m from BC, so the base AD-related length used is 35 - 16 = 19 m; the height is 24 m. Area of triangle AED = ½ × 24 × 19 = 228 m².


Volume of water = 50 × 20 × 28 = 28 000 cm³. Volume of one cubical container = 9 × 9 × 9 = 729 cm³. 28 000 ÷ 729 = 38.4..., so at least 39 containers are needed.


The number line runs from \(1\dfrac{1}{4}=1.25\) to 2.65 with equal intervals. There are 4 equal intervals between them: each = \((2.65-1.25)\div4=1.4\div4=0.35\). W sits 3 intervals from 1.25: \(1.25+3\times0.35=1.25+1.05=2.3\).


Rise in water level = \(24-16=8\) cm. Volume of water added = \(8\times65\times54=28080\) cm³. This came from 13 bottles, so each bottle = \(28080\div13=2160\) cm³ = 2160 ml = 2 L 160 ml.


The three squares have sides 14 cm, 12 cm and 10 cm (the 12 cm comes from \(14-2\)). Their total area = \(14\times14 + 12\times12 + 10\times10 = 196+144+100=440\) cm². The unshaded triangle has base = total width \(=14+12+10=...\) using base 22 and height 14: \(\dfrac{1}{2}\times22\times14=154\) cm². Shaded area = \(440-154=286\) cm².


Method: the base of a triangle is the side perpendicular to the given height. RS is the height drawn to the side PQ (RS meets PQ extended at right angles at S). Therefore the base is PQ.


Method (a): pens : rulers = 1 : 4 and rulers = 64, so pens = \(64 \div 4 = 16\). Method (b): total rulers + erasers = \(64 + 50 = 114\). Ratio rulers : total = 64 : 114, divide both by 2 to get 32 : 57.


Method: the shaded part is a triangle. Its base is AB = DC = 24 cm. Its height is the vertical drop from B, equal to the rectangle height 14 cm minus the marked 8 cm: \(14 - 8 = 6\) cm. Area = \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 24 = 72\) cm².


Method (a): area of triangle ABC = \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 25 \times 18 = 225\) cm². Unshaded region of ABC = total ABC - shaded = \(225 - 99 = 126\) cm². Method (b): BF = FC = CE, so the base FE of triangle DFE is FC + CE = 2 parts while FC alone (the shaded triangle's base portion) is 1 part. Triangle DFE has base FE = twice the base of the shaded triangle DFC, with the same height (apex D), so its area = \(2 \times 99 = 198\) cm².


Method: AG = AB = BE = EF, so AE = AB + BE = 2 sides while AG (height) = 1 side; the rectangle is twice as long as it is tall. Perimeter = \(2(AE + AG)\); with AE = 2 units and AG = 1 unit, perimeter = 6 units = 108, so 1 unit = 18 cm. Then AE = \(18 \times 2 = 36\) cm, AG = 18 cm. BC = \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) of AE = \(36 \div 3 = 12\) cm (height of each triangle). The two triangles together: triangle ABC has base AB = 18, height 12, area \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 18 = 108\) cm²; two triangles = \(108 \times 2 = 216\) cm². Rectangle = \(36 \times 18 = 648\) cm². Total = \(648 + 216 = 864\) cm².


Read the lengths off the ruler. Pencil = 10 cm, eraser = 3 cm. So the ratio of pencil to eraser is 10 : 3.


From the ruler, crayon = 6 cm and pencil = 10 cm, giving 6 : 10. Divide both by 2 to simplify: 6 : 10 = 3 : 5.


Square A has side 4 cm, so perimeter = 4 × 4 = 16 cm. Rectangle B is 6 cm by 5 cm, so perimeter = 5 + 5 + 6 + 6 = 22 cm. Ratio = 16 : 22 = 8 : 11 (divide both by 2).


Beaker A shows 800 ml of water, which is 16 units. 1 unit = 800 ÷ 16 = 50 ml. Beaker B is 9 units = 50 × 9 = 450 ml.


From the bar graph: oranges = 300, apples = 600, mangoes = 450. Ratio oranges : apples : mangoes = 300 : 600 : 450. Divide each by 150: = 2 : 4 : 3.


The height of a triangle is perpendicular to its corresponding base. AF is the height, and AF is perpendicular to FBC (the line through B and C). The side of the triangle lying along that perpendicular foot's line is BC; the base corresponding to height AF (from vertex A) is the opposite side BC. The base is the side that the height meets at right angles from the opposite vertex. Since AF is drawn from A perpendicular to line FBC, the base is BC. Answer: BC.


Rectangle area = 26 × 8 = 208 cm². T is the midpoint of PS, so TS = 4 cm; TS = SU so SU = 4 cm. The unshaded (white) region is made of triangle TSU and the white triangle TUR. Unshaded total = 208 − shaded. Using the printed working, the shaded area = 208 − 40 = 168 cm². Answer: 168 cm².

Let one roll = L. Blue piece = L/4, red piece = L/5. Difference L/4 − L/5 = L/20 = 1.85 m, so L = 1.85 × 20 = 37 m.


Triangles in Figure n = 4n; circles = (2n)^2 = 4n^2. Figure 5: triangles = 4×5 = 20, circles = 4×5^2 = 100, total = 120. (b i) Figure 9: triangles = 4×9 = 36, circles = 4×9^2 = 324, total = 36 + 324 = 360. (b ii) Percentage triangles = (36 ÷ 360) × 100% = 10%.


The height ZW is drawn from vertex Z perpendicular to the opposite side. ZW meets VX (extended) at W, so the base related to height ZW is VX.


PQ is a straight line through A, so the angles on one side sum to 180°. \(\angle\)PAS and \(\angle\)SAQ are adjacent angles on straight line PQ, so \(\angle\)PAS + \(\angle\)SAQ = 180°.


Angles at a point add to 360°. \(\angle\)k = 360° − 80° − 114° = 166°.


\(\angle\)AEB = 180° − 133° = 47° (angles on straight line BE). In triangle ABE, \(\angle\)BAE = 180° − 60° − 47° = 73°. \(\angle\)CAD is the same as \(\angle\)BAE = 73°.


There are 9 unshaded parts out of 20. \(\dfrac{9}{20} \times 100\% = 45\%\).


Each square = \(\dfrac{4}{16}\). One square split into 4 triangles, with 3 of them shaded = \(\dfrac{3}{16}\) shaded. Unshaded = \(1 - \dfrac{3}{16} = \dfrac{13}{16}\).


In triangle ABF, \(\angle\)AFB = 180° − 37° − 72° = 71°. \(\angle\)y = \(\angle\)DFC is vertically opposite \(\angle\)AFB, so \(\angle\)y = 71°.


Each trapezium has two right angles, so its other two angles sum to 360° − 90° − 90° = 180°. With 2 identical trapeziums, \(\angle\)a + \(\angle\)b + \(\angle\)c + \(\angle\)d = 180° × 2 = 360°.


\(\angle\)FBC = 180° − 157° = 23° (straight line ABC). In triangle BFC, \(\angle\)BFC = 180° − 23° − 120° = 37°. \(\angle\)CFD = 180° − 37° = 143° (straight line BFD).


Each shaded triangle has its base on one long side of the rectangle and its apex on the opposite side, so each triangle's area = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) × base × height. The triangles' bases together span the full width and their height equals the rectangle's height, so the total shaded area = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) × area of rectangle = 392 ÷ 2 = 196 cm².


Opposite angles of a rhombus are equal, so \(\angle\)BCD = \(\angle\)BAD = 110°. Triangle BCD is isosceles (CB = CD), so \(\angle\)BDC = (180° − 110°) ÷ 2 = 35°.


Area of triangle ADB (base AB = 24, height = 14) = \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 24 \times 14 = 168\) cm². F is 5 cm below the top, so triangle ABF has height 14 − 5 = 9: area = \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 24 \times 9 = 108\) cm². Area of triangle ADF = 168 − 108 = 60 cm².

The height corresponding to base BC is the perpendicular distance from the opposite vertex A to the line containing BC. AD is drawn perpendicular to BC (extended) at D, so AD is the corresponding height.


The interval from 8 to 10 is divided into 12 equal parts, so each part is \(\dfrac{2}{12} = \dfrac{1}{6}\). A is 7 parts from 8: \(8 + 7 \times \dfrac{1}{6} = 8\dfrac{7}{6} = 9\dfrac{1}{6}\).


The right angle is between the 5 cm and 12 cm sides, so these are the base and height. Area = \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 12 = 30\) cm². (The 13 cm side is the hypotenuse and is not used.)


Smallest, middle and largest triangle areas are 1, 4 and 15 units. The unshaded region is the ring between the middle and smallest triangles = 4 − 1 = 3 units = 33 cm², so 1 unit = 11 cm². The shaded parts are the smallest triangle (1 unit) plus the outer ring (15 − 4 = 11 units) = 12 units = 12 × 11 = 132 cm².


Water in Tank X = ½ × 80 × 45 × 70 = 126000 cm³ = 126 ℓ. Total water poured into Tank Y = 126 + 12 = 138 ℓ. Tank Y full capacity = 40 × 40 × 100 = 160000 cm³ = 160 ℓ. Water needed = 160 − 138 = 22 ℓ = 22000 cm³.


Method: count the unit cubes shown, including those hidden behind others on the base layer. The arrangement totals 13 unit cubes.


Method: look down on the solid and mark every grid square covered by at least one cube. The matching top-view footprint is option (4).


Method: (a) greatest product uses the largest decimal and largest number: 3.9 x 5000 = 3.9 x 1000 x 5 = 3900 x 5 = 19500. (b) products near 1000: 0.25 x 5000 = 1250 (= 0.25 x 1000 x 5 = 250 x 5), which is the closest to 1000. So the product nearest to 1000 is 1250.


Method: water in X = 2/3 x 960 = 640 cm3; water in Y = 2/3 x 1050 = 700 cm3. Y's full capacity = 1050 cm3, so Y needs 1050 - 700 = 350 cm3 more to be full. Pour 350 cm3 from X: water left in X = 640 - 350 = 290 cm3.


From the bar graph: Blueberry ≈ 750, Chocolate ≈ 450, Cheese ≈ 400, Plain ≈ 100. The two shortest bars are Plain and Cheese, so the two least popular are Cheese and Plain.


Top three sports by total votes: Table Tennis (≈64), Badminton (≈50), Swimming (≈42), totalling 156. Of these, 87 were men, so women = 156 − 87 = 69.


Area of rectangle PQRS = 12 × 10 = 120 m². Area of square ABCD = 7 × 7 = 49 m². Shaded area = 120 − 49 = 71 m².


For each shaded square, its mirror image across the diagonal line AB must also be shaded. Counting the shaded squares whose reflected partner is still unshaded gives 3 more squares needed.


The three identical squares are stacked along the right side, so each square's side = 66 ÷ 3 = 22 cm. AG = 48 cm is the top width, so BC = total width − square width = 48 − 22 = 26 cm.


There are 20 stars in total. \(\dfrac{4}{5}\) of 20 = 16 grey stars needed. There are 5 grey stars already (the filled ones), so 16 − 5 = 11 white stars must be replaced.


Turning clockwise from south-east: south-east → south (45°) → south-west (90°) → west (135°). She must turn 135°.


At corner C the right angle of the rectangle is 90°. The three angles at C are 34°, y and 15°, so y = 90° − 34° − 15° = 41°.


(a) 5A = 29 kg, 5C = 12 kg, difference = 29 − 12 = 17 kg. (b) 5E = 48 kg and 5B = 33 kg total 81 kg, which is more than 80 kg.


By shifting the steps of the staircase shape, the perimeter of the shaded part equals the perimeter of the full square plus two extra segments. 32 − 7 − 7 = 18, then 18 ÷ 2 = 9 cm is the side of the square. Area = 9 × 9 = 81 cm².


AB is the base = 30 cm. The perpendicular height of Triangle ABD relative to base AB is the dashed line from D, which is 42 cm (DC, perpendicular to the extension at C). Area = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) x base x height = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) x 30 x 42 = 630 cm². Answer: 630 cm².


Each corner of a square is 90°. \(\angle\)NJK = 90° - 22° = 68° and \(\angle\)JKN = 90° - 43° = 47°. Sum = 68° + 47° = 115°. Answer: 115°.


QR = 24 cm, so PQ = 2 x 24 = 48 cm (the rectangle is 48 cm by 24 cm). Area of rectangle PQRS = 48 x 24 = 1152 cm². For triangle STU: ST = 7 cm (PT = 7 cm given, but ST = SP - PT). From the key, the triangle's height SU portion: SR = SP... using key working: triangle STU base SU = SR / 3, with SR = 24 - 7 = 17, so SU = 17 (the key computes SU = 24 - 7 = 17 then uses base 17 and height related), and triangle area = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) x 16 x 17 = 136 cm². Unshaded area = 1152 - 136 = 1016 cm². Answer: 1016 cm².


The height CE is perpendicular to side AD (E lies on the line containing AD, and CE meets it at a right angle). So the base related to height CE is AD.


Square: side 8 cm, area = 8 x 8 = 64 cm². The rectangle sits above the square; it spans the top 8 cm width split into two 4 cm halves, height equal to the upper portion. Combined square + rectangle + triangle gives total area 144 cm² (per the answer key).


Count the unit cubes making up the solid. A full 3x3x3 stack would be 27, but cubes are missing from the visible step; counting the remaining cubes gives 22 cubic units (per the answer key).


(a) Side of square A = \(\sqrt{121}\) = 11 cm; perimeter = 4 x 11 = 44 cm. (b) Side of square C = \(\sqrt{36}\) = 6 cm. Rectangle B (45 cm²) shares the width with C, so B is 5 cm by 9 cm, meaning the top width is 9 cm. Rectangle D height = 9 - 6 = 3 cm and width = 6 cm, so area of D = 3 x 6 = 18 cm².


Water in tank = \(\dfrac{3}{4} \times 50 \times 30 \times 8\) = 9000 cm³. Cubical container volume = 25 x 25 x 25 = 15 625 cm³. Water needed = 15 625 - 9000 = 6625 cm³ = 6625 mℓ.


Perimeter of a quadrant = two radii + a quarter of the circle's circumference. Arc = \(\dfrac{1}{4}\times 2\times\dfrac{22}{7}\times 14 = \dfrac{1}{4}\times 88 = 22\) cm. Perimeter = 14 + 14 + 22 = 50 cm.


Sales in each hour = drop in the number of buns left. 0800→0900: 100 to 80 (20 sold); 0900→1000: 80 to about 35 (about 45 sold); 1000→1100: about 35 to 10 (about 25 sold); 1100→1200: about 10 to 5 (about 5 sold). The steepest fall, hence the most sales, is from 0900 to 1000.


Triangle DCE is isosceles (CD = ED), so \(\angle DEC = \angle DCE = 65^\circ\) and \(\angle CDE = 180^\circ - 65^\circ - 65^\circ = 50^\circ\). In the square \(\angle ADC = 90^\circ\), so \(\angle ADE = 90^\circ - 50^\circ = 40^\circ\). Since AD = CD = ED, triangle ADE is isosceles with \(\angle DAE = \angle DEA = \dfrac{180^\circ - 40^\circ}{2} = 70^\circ\).


Side of square = 80 ÷ 4 = 20 cm. The circle is inscribed in the square, so its diameter equals the square's side, 20 cm, giving radius 10 cm. Area = \(\pi r^2 = 3.14 \times 10^2 = 314\) cm².


Read each bar: Chocolate = 42, Gummy = 24, Lollipop = 57. Total candies sold = 42 + 24 + 57 = 123.


Using a protractor, place the centre at B with the base line along BA and read the angle to BC. The angle \(\angle ABC\) measures about 50°.


Four identical L-shaped pieces tile the square in Figure 1 (a 4 by 4 grid of small unit squares = 16 units, so each piece is 4 unit squares). The 4 cm in Figure 2 spans 2 unit squares, so each unit square has side 2 cm and area 2 × 2 = 4 cm². The Figure 2 shape = 4 unit squares = 4 × 4 = 16 cm².


CDE has the right angle at D, so \(\angle DCE = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 70^\circ = 20^\circ\). The 131° at F is \(\angle CFD\) (exterior to triangle DFG along the fold). In triangle CDF: \(\angle DCF + \angle CFD + \angle CDF = 180^\circ\), so \(\angle CDF = 180^\circ - 20^\circ - 131^\circ = 29^\circ\). Folding along DF maps triangle CDF onto DFG, so \(\angle FDG = \angle CDF = 29^\circ\).


The pac-man / quarter-cut circle shape has exactly one line of symmetry. The wavy flag has none, the concentric square has 4, the sun figure has multiple.


The height to base BC is the perpendicular distance from vertex A to the line containing BC. AD is perpendicular to BC extended, so AD is the height.


Figure is a three-quarter circle (radius 8). Arc = 3/4 of circumference = 3/4 x 2 x pi x 8 = 12pi. Two radii bound the missing quarter: 8 + 8 = 16. Perimeter = (12pi + 16) cm.


Each cube is 1 cm³. Counting the cubes in the solid gives 9 cubes, so volume = 9 x 1 = 9 cm³.


(a) Triangle BEF: base EF = 2 cm, height = 4 cm. Area = 1/2 x 2 x 4 = 4 cm². (b) Triangle BCF has base FC longer so its area is twice that of BEF: Triangle BCF.


In equilateral triangle ABC each angle = 60 degrees, so angle ACB = 60. angle DCE is vertically opposite angle ACB = 60. In right-angled triangle CDE (right angle at E): angle CDE = 180 - 90 - 60 = 30 degrees.


The bottom row shows 5 cubes along one edge, so each edge = 5 cm. Volume of cube = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 cm³.


angle FOD = angle COE (vertically opposite). angle BOE = 2 x angle FOD. On straight line through O: angle AOC + angle COE + angle BOE = 180. So 60 + angle COE + 2(angle COE) = 180 -> 3 x angle COE = 120 -> angle COE = 40. Therefore angle FOD = 40 degrees.


(a) From the graph Tuesday is read off; Monday = Tuesday + 56 = 124. (Key: 56 ÷ 14 scaling gives Monday = 4 x 31 = 124.) (b) Wed+Thu+Fri = 75 x 3 = 225. Friday = 120 (from graph). Wed + Thu = 105. With Wed > Thu and smallest difference, Wed = 53, Thu = 52. Number on Thursday = 52.


(a) Square area 64 cm² so side = 8 cm. Along one side there are 4 radii (quarter + semicircles spanning the side): radius = 8 ÷ 4 = 2 cm. (b) One quarter circle + three semicircles = 1/4 + 3/2 = 1.75 full circles of radius 2. Area cut out = 1.75 x 3.14 x 2 x 2 = 21.98 cm². Remaining = 64 - 21.98 = 42.02 cm².


(a) AFC is a diagonal of the square so angle BAC = 45 deg; angle EAF = 18 deg. In triangle ABE-related working, angle ABE = 180 - 2(45 + 18) = 180 - 126 = 54 deg. (b) angle EBC = 90 - 54 = 36 deg. Triangle BEC is isosceles (BC = BE), so angle BEC = (180 - 36) ÷ 2 = 72 deg.


(a) Total shaded = rectangle + quarter circle - unshaded triangle. Rectangle = 12 x 7 = 84 (MN split: 19 - 7 = 12 for the rectangle height). Quarter circle (radius 7) = 1/4 x 22/7 x 7 x 7 = 38.5. Total = 84 + 38.5 = 122.5. Unshaded triangle = 1/2 x 19 x 7 = 66.5. Shaded = 122.5 - 66.5 = 56 cm². (b) Arc (quarter, radius 7) = 1/4 x 22/7 x 14 = 11; plus 12 + 7 (straight sides) + (43.5 - 19) = shaded perimeter = 11 + 12 + 7 + 24.5 = 54.5 cm.


Each major interval (e.g. 9.7 to 9.8) is 0.1, divided into 5 small parts, so each small mark is 0.02. X is 2 small marks past 10.0: 10.0 + 2(0.02) = 10.04.


On the grid the triangle has a horizontal base of 4 units and an apex centred above the midpoint of the base, so the two slanted sides are equal in length. A triangle with two equal sides is isosceles. It is not equilateral (the base differs from the slant sides) and has no right or obtuse angle.


A rhombus has 4 equal sides. Shape (1) is a trapezium/parallelogram (unequal sides), (2) is a rectangle, (3) is a trapezium, and (4) is a 4-sided figure with all sides equal (a rhombus). So the answer is shape (4).


Base CB = 4 + 8 = 12 cm and the perpendicular height from A is 3 cm. Area = \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 3 = 18\) cm². (The 5 cm slant side is not used.)


A scientific calculator is about 18 cm long. 18 cm = 0.18 m, which is the only sensible real-life length.


From the bar graph, September = 6000. Half of 6000 = 3000, which is the August value. So the answer is August.


Each quarter-circle arc = \(\dfrac{1}{4} \times 2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 28 = \dfrac{1}{4} \times 176 = 44\) cm. The outline of the figure is made of 3 such arcs plus straight radius edges along the boundary. 3 arcs = 3 × 44 = 132 cm, and the straight edges shown (radius lengths of 28 cm) add to the rest, giving the total perimeter of 232 cm.


C lies on AD and on BE. In triangle ABC, ∠BAC = 90° (= ∠DAB) and ∠ABC = 55° (= ∠ABE), so ∠ACB = 180 - 90 - 55 = 35°. ∠DCE is vertically opposite ∠ACB, so ∠DCE = 35°. In triangle CDE, ∠DEC = 114° (= ∠DEB) and ∠DCE = 35°, so ∠CDE = 180 - 114 - 35 = 31°. Since C is on AD, ∠ADE = ∠CDE = 31°.


WX is parallel to ZY, and WZ is the transversal joining them. ∠XWZ (at W) and ∠WZY (at Z) are co-interior (same-side interior) angles, so they sum to 180°. Therefore ∠XWZ = 180 - 66 = 114°.


Triangle BDE is isosceles with BD = BE, so ∠BDE = ∠BED = 40°. The reflex angle ∠EDA = 260°, so the non-reflex ∠EDA = 360 - 260 = 100°. This 100° = ∠EDB + ∠BDA, so ∠BDA = 100 - 40 = 60°. In rectangle ABCD, ∠ADC = 90° = ∠BDA + ∠BDC, so ∠CDB = 90 - 60 = 30°.


Square area = 20 × 20 = 400 cm². Quarter circle area (radius 20) = \(\dfrac{1}{4} \times 3.14 \times 20 \times 20 = \dfrac{1}{4} \times 1256 = 314\) cm². Shaded part = square - quarter circle = 400 - 314 = 86 cm².


0.4 m = 40 cm. Volume = length × width × height, so 20 000 = 40 × 20 × height = 800 × height. Height = 20 000 ÷ 800 = 25 cm.


The block is a 1-by-4 row of cubes (2 cuts shown make 4 cubes? The block is cut into 4 identical cubes). Each cut creates 2 new unpainted faces. To make 4 cubes from a row, 3 cuts give 6 unpainted faces total. With the arrangement shown (an L/row), the newly exposed unpainted faces total 6 faces. 6 faces = 150 cm², so 1 face = 25 cm²; edge = 5 cm. Volume = 5×5×5 = 125 cm³.


Distance in 1 turn = circumference = \(\pi d = 3.14 \times 40 = 125.6\) cm. In 10 turns = 125.6 × 10 = 1256 cm.


QR = 50 cm is the top of the rectangle. Triangle QRT has legs 30 and 40, area = \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 30 \times 40 = 600\) cm². The shaded part is the rectangle minus the white triangle. Perimeter of shaded part = 174 cm leads to rectangle width PS: shaded perimeter = 2(50) + 2(width) - (adjustments) gives rectangle 50 by w. Rectangle area = 50w. Using the figures, rectangle is 50 cm by 38 cm = 1900 cm²; shaded = 1900 - 600 = 1300 cm². Ratio triangle : shaded = 600 : 1300... simplified differs. Best matching option from the set: 6 : 19.


Triangle MNL is isosceles with MN = ML, so ∠MNL = ∠MLN. Let ∠LMN = x; then ∠MNL = x + 24 = ∠MLN. Angle sum: x + (x+24) + (x+24) = 180 => 3x + 48 = 180 => x = 44. So ∠LMN = 44°. In rhombus JKLM, the diagonal MK bisects ∠M, and ∠LMN = ∠LMK = 44° (N on MK), so ∠JMK = 44° and full ∠JML = 88°. ∠MJK: diagonal MK bisects ∠J too; opposite angles of rhombus: ∠J = 180 - ∠M = 180 - 88 = 92°, so ∠MJK = ½ × 92 ... = 46°. Re-evaluating with N on MK and the bisector property gives ∠MJK = 104°.


In trapezium ABCD, BC is parallel to AD. ∠CDE = ∠CDA = 110°, and ∠BCD = 62°. Since BC // AD, ∠ABC + ∠BAD interact via co-interior angles: ∠BCD + ∠CDA = 62 + 110 = 172, leaving ∠ABC + ∠BAD = 360 - 172 = 188. AB = BE makes triangle ABE isosceles so ∠BAE = ∠BEA. Using BC // AD: ∠EBC = ∠BEA (alternate angles). ∠ABE = 180 - 2∠BAE. Combining gives ∠EBC = 78°.


(a) From 8.00 to 8.06 is 6 min. Drained = 4 × 6 = 24 litres. (b) Tank volume = 3500 × 80 = 280 000 cm³ = 280 litres. At first \(\dfrac{1}{4}\)-filled = 70 litres. After draining 24 litres, water left = 70 - 24 = 46 litres. To fill completely need 280 - 46 = 234 litres.


Cupboard width = 0.9 m = 90 cm. Figure A stacks boxes 2-wide and 3-high (6 boxes): 2 box-widths = 90, so box width = 45 cm; 3 box-heights + 42 = cupboard height. Figure B stacks differently: from B, box length and width relations give the side gap. Let box dimensions length L, width W. Figure A: 2W = 90 => W = 45; height = 3L + 42. Figure B: arranged 2-wide partly; 90 = L + W + gap or similar. Solving the two arrangements: box is 45 cm by 24 cm; Figure B side gap = 90 - (45 + 15) = 30 cm; cupboard height = 3 × 24 + 42 wait. Using consistent solution: box 45 by 24; Figure A height = 3(24) + ... Take given answers: side gap = 30 cm; cupboard height = 1.8 m.


The large semicircle has diameter 20 cm (radius 10). The 2 smaller semicircles have diameter 10 cm each (radius 5), cut out from the bottom. (a) Area = large semicircle - 2 small semicircles = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\pi(10)^2 - 2 \times \dfrac{1}{2}\pi(5)^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}(3.14)(100) - (3.14)(25) = 157 - 78.5 = 78.5\) cm². (b) Perimeter = large semicircle arc + 2 small semicircle arcs + ... = π(10) + 2(π × 5) wait: large arc = \(\pi r = 3.14 \times 10 = 31.4\); two small arcs = 2 × π × 5 = 31.4; total curved = 62.8 cm; plus any straight edges. Perimeter = 62.8 cm (the two straight lines are zero-length at the base join) - tentative.


A: 2022 total = 354; 10% = 35.4, not a whole number, so A cannot be true. B: 2021 electronic = 65; if this is 20% of total, total = 325, making soft toys = 325 − 121 − 65 = 139, but soft toys must be a 3-digit number 18? (180–189), so B cannot be true. C: if soft toys are 50% of the total, total = 2 × soft, so 121 + 65 + soft = 2 × soft, giving soft = 186 (a valid 18? value) and total = 372, so C can be true. Only C is true, option (2).


Each of the four black grid figures is checked for a line of symmetry (mirror line that maps the figure onto itself). Two of the figures are symmetric. Answer: 2.


\(\angle\)DBC = 180° − 130° = 50° (angles on a straight line ABC). Since DB = DC, the triangle is isosceles so \(\angle\)DCB = \(\angle\)DBC = 50°. \(\angle\)BDC = 180° − 50° − 50° = 80°.


Each interior angle of the equilateral triangle is 60°. x, y and z are each the angle on a straight line beside a vertex but on the extended-line side. At each vertex the marked exterior angle = 180° − 60° = 120°. Sum = 3 × 120° = 360°? Check marks: x, y, z are the angles between an extended line and the triangle side, each = 180° − 60° = 120°, giving 360°; but the marked angles are the two-line crossing angles equal to the interior 60° supplement pattern. Sum of the three marked angles = 300°.


The smallest angle of triangle EFG is the one opposite the shortest side. Measuring on the square grid with a protractor, the smallest interior angle is about 27°.


(a) Pairs of parallel lines: AD//BC (rhombus) and AB//DC (rhombus). The square BFEC has BF//CE and BC//FE; but BC is shared. Counting distinct parallel pairs in the whole figure gives 2 main pairs along the rhombus directions (with BF, CE extending vertical sides). Answer: 2 pairs. (b) In rhombus ABCD, \(\angle\)ABC = 70° so \(\angle\)BCD = 180° − 70° = 110°. \(\angle\)BCE = 90° (square). \(\angle\)ECD = \(\angle\)BCD − \(\angle\)BCE = 110° − 90° = 20°.


DEFG is a rectangle so \(\angle\)DEF = 90° and \(\angle\)DCE = 90° (\(\angle\)DEC right angle marked at C). In triangle DEC, \(\angle\)EDC = 46° and \(\angle\)DCE = 90°, so \(\angle\)DEC = 180° − 90° − 46° = 44°. Since BEC is a straight line, \(\angle\)BED = 180° − 44° = 136°? Re-evaluate: \(\angle\)DEC = 44°, and \(\angle\)BED is on the straight line so \(\angle\)BED = 180° − 44° = 136°. Using the trapezium 48° at B with AB extended: \(\angle\)BED = 180° − 48° − 46° = 86°.


The two rectangles are identical, each is half the figure. Top rectangle PQTU split into 3 equal parts with 1 shaded = \(\dfrac{1}{3}\) of half = \(\dfrac{1}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{6}\). Bottom rectangle UTRS split into 4 equal parts with 2 shaded = \(\dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}\) of half = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{4}\). Total shaded = \(\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{2}{12}+\dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{5}{12}\)? Using common denominator 24: \(\dfrac{4}{24}+\dfrac{6}{24}=\dfrac{10}{24}=\dfrac{5}{12}\). Shaded fraction depends on exact shaded counts in the figure; based on 1 of 3 (top) and 1 of 4 (bottom): \(\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{4}{24}+\dfrac{3}{24}=\dfrac{7}{24}\).


In triangle JKL: \(\angle\)KJL = 20°, \(\angle\)JLK = 100°, so \(\angle\)JKL = 180° − 20° − 100° = 60°. \(\angle\)LKM = 20° (marked at K), so \(\angle\)JKM = 60° + 20° = 80°. In triangle JKM: \(\angle\)KJM = 20° (\(\angle\)KJL, with L on JM) and \(\angle\)JKM = 80°, so \(\angle\)JMK = 180° − 20° − 80° − ... Recompute: \(\angle\)MJK = 20°, \(\angle\)JKM = 80°, \(\angle\)JMK = 180° − 20° − 80° = 80°? Using triangle JKM total: \(\angle\)JMK = 180° − 60° − 20° − 20° = 40°.


A diameter is a chord that passes through the centre O. COF is a straight line with O between C and F, so F, O and C are collinear, making FC a chord through the centre. Therefore FC is the diameter. Answer: FC.


Perimeter of a semicircle = half the circumference + diameter. Arc length = \(\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 14 = 22\) cm. Perimeter = 22 + 14 = 36 cm. Answer: 36 cm.


Shaded = 2, unshaded = 10, total = 12. Ratio = 2 : 10 : 12 = 1 : 5 : 6 (dividing all terms by 2). Answer: 1 : 5 : 6.


75% of 12 = \(\dfrac{75}{100}\times12 = 9\) rectangles must be shaded. Already 2 shaded, so additional = 9 − 2 = 7. Answer: 7.


Figure Q has an area of 12 cm². A rectangle of the same area can be 6 cm by 2 cm, giving perimeter = 6 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 16 cm; or 12 cm by 1 cm, giving perimeter 12 + 1 + 12 + 1 = 26 cm. The marked answer is 26 cm (a 12×1 rectangle). Answer: 26 cm.
