http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge IGCSE/Mathematics (0580)/ it's w05 q08 I want to know why it's 1/2a-1/2c and not 1/2aplus 1/2c and need explanation for 11
Find the perimeter of the table. Exclude the inner part.
Since there are four sides of the rectangle that make the table's perimeter, you multiply it by 4.
So 4*4=16m
We know that 4 quarters make a compete circle, so we can just simply find the circumference of one circle using radius 1.2m, and the formula 2πr.
So, 2πr, 2*π*1.2 = 7.54m

N
ow add these.
7.54+16
=23.54 m
This is the table's perimeter.

Since each person occupies 1m around the table, we can allow 23 people to sit.
We ignore the decimal because no one can squeeze into the remaining 0.54m.

The sides crossed red make the perimeter.

Q The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 85cm, to the nearest cm
complete
Limits of its perimeter that I worked it out are 84.5cm and 85.5cm
The other part of the question asks me to get the limits of length of one side the limits were 28.2cm and 28.5cm. Why the limits aren't 27.8cm and 28.8 cm

Divide 84.5 by 3, you get 28.167 = 28.2 cm
Divide 85.5 by 3, you get 28.500 = 28.5 cm

How are you getting 28.7 and 28.8?

Many people find it hard, but to be honest it's just more of logic..that's all!


Sequences!

Using log for indices.
please help me with this question in complex numbers
For complex numbers satisfying |z-(1+u)| = 1, find the greatest possible value of |z|. thankkk uuu
