There is a rectangular garden of 220m x 70m. A path of width 4m is build around the garden. What is the area of the path?
A)
2472 m²
B)
2162 m²
C)
1836 m²
D)
2384 m²
Step-by-step calculation:
1. Area of the inner garden = Length × Width = 220m × 70m = 15,400 m².
2. The path is built 'around' the garden, meaning it adds to the dimensions on all sides.
New Length = 220 + 4 + 4 = 228m
New Width = 70 + 4 + 4 = 78m
3. Area of the outer rectangle (garden + path) = 228m × 78m = 17,784 m².
4. Area of the path = Outer Area - Inner Area = 17,784 m² - 15,400 m² = 2,384 m².
Therefore, option (d) is correct. Options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect as they result from calculation errors or failing to add the path width to both sides of the dimensions.

Which of the following is a coordinate point on the x-axis?
A)
(-2, 0)
B)
(0, 2)
C)
(3,3)
D)
(0, -5)
In a 2D Cartesian coordinate system, any point is represented as (x, y), where 'x' is the abscissa (horizontal distance from the y-axis) and 'y' is the ordinate (vertical distance from the x-axis).
1. A point lies on the x-axis if and only if its vertical distance from the x-axis is zero. Therefore, for any point on the x-axis, the y-coordinate must be 0. The general form is (x, 0).
2. Evaluating the options:
- Option (a) (-2, 0): The y-coordinate is 0. This point lies on the x-axis.
- Option (b) (0, 2): The x-coordinate is 0. This point lies on the y-axis.
- Option (c) (3, 3): Neither coordinate is 0. This point lies in the first quadrant.
- Option (d) (0, -5): The x-coordinate is 0. This point lies on the y-axis.
Thus, (-2, 0) is the only point located on the x-axis.

In a right-angled triangle ABC, if angle B=90° and AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm, then what is the value of sin C?
A)
3/5
B)
4/5
C)
5/8
D)
8/5
Step-by-step solution:
1. **Identify the given values**: In right-angled triangle ABC, angle B = 90°. The sides forming the right angle are AB = 6 cm and BC = 8 cm.
2. **Find the Hypotenuse (AC)**: According to the Pythagorean theorem, AC² = AB² + BC².
AC² = 6² + 8²
AC² = 36 + 64
AC² = 100
AC = √100 = 10 cm.
3. **Define sin C**: In a right-angled triangle, the sine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the side opposite to the angle to the length of the hypotenuse.
sin C = (Opposite side to angle C) / (Hypotenuse)
4. **Calculate the value**: The side opposite to angle C is AB, and the hypotenuse is AC.
sin C = AB / AC
sin C = 6 / 10
sin C = 3 / 5.
Comparing this result to the options:
- Option (a) 3/5 is correct.
- Option (b) 4/5 represents cos C or sin A.
- Option (c) 5/8 is incorrect.
- Option (d) 8/5 is impossible as the sine of an angle cannot exceed 1.

Find the correct trigonometric identity.
A)
tan²θ = sec²θ - 1
B)
tan²θ + sec²θ = 1
C)
tan²θ - sec²θ = 1
D)
tan²θ = sec²θ + 1
The fundamental Pythagorean identity in trigonometry is derived from the unit circle or a right-angled triangle. The primary identity is: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1. To find the identity involving tan and sec, we divide every term of this equation by cos²θ:
(sin²θ / cos²θ) + (cos²θ / cos²θ) = (1 / cos²θ)
Since tanθ = sinθ/cosθ and secθ = 1/cosθ, the equation becomes:
tan²θ + 1 = sec²θ
To isolate tan²θ, we subtract 1 from both sides:
tan²θ = sec²θ - 1
Evaluating the options:
- Option (a) tan²θ = sec²θ - 1: Correct, matches the derived identity.
- Option (b) tan²θ + sec²θ = 1: Incorrect. The correct form is sec²θ - tan²θ = 1.
- Option (c) tan²θ - sec²θ = 1: Incorrect. Based on the identity, tan²θ - sec²θ = -1.
- Option (d) tan²θ = sec²θ + 1: Incorrect. This contradicts the derived identity.
