Q4(b)(ii) Can someone please explain how to get the bearing? I tried many ways and still can't get it.

Same paper, Q11(d)(i) & Q11(d)(ii). For (i) please could you explain step by step how to do the algebraic manipulation, and for (ii) I would like to know a shortcut to find two consecutive terms of a sequence from the their sum?

Q3(a) Can someone please explain step by step how to prove this?

Same paper, Q7(a) Can someone explain the reasons for x & y? Especially y, I don't understand how y is = 62, and why the MS says that it's because they're angles in the same segment/arc. How do you determine a segment or arc?

Also, Q7(c) Can someone explain this step by step?

Lastly, Q(9)(d) Can you explain step by step how to do the algebraic manipulation?

Thanks a lot in advance to whoever answers any of these questions. I hope they can be answered soon because the paper is on Monday.

2. a floor is covered by 800 tiles measuring 10 cm square. how many square tiles of side 8 cm would be needed to cover the same floor??

The first question seems tough. I gave it a try.
First I found the depth which can be dug by 10 people in 4 days.

In 4 days:
Men Depth
6 3
10 x

x=5 feet

Then with that I found the number of days it would take to dig 7 feet.

Depth Days
5 4
7 x

x= 28/5
= 5.6 days. ( 5 days 14 hours 24 minutes )

I'm not sure about that answer. If you get the right answer do tell me. :)


Second question:
Area of the whole floor= 10 cm sq.* 800
= 8000 cm sq.

Area of square with sides 8cm = 64 cm sq.

64 cm sq. * x tiles = 8000 cm sq.
x = 125 tiles.
