1. Which of the following are complementary angles?
A. 90° and 90°
B. 18° and 18°
C. 71° and 19°
D. 15° and 30°
VIEW ANSWER
Option C
Explanation
Complementary angles are two angles whose sum equals 90°. In option A, both angles are already 90°, so they cannot be complementary. In option B, both angles are the same, so their sum would be 36°, which is not equal to 90°.
In option C, their sum equals 90°, which means they are complementary angles. Therefore, the answer is option C, 71° and 19°.
2. If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 4:6:5, then the triangle is _________.
A. isosceles
B. acute
C. right
D. obtuse
VIEW ANSWER
Option D
Explanation
The correct answer is D. Obtuse.
Let the angles of the triangle be 4x, 6x, and 5x, where x is a positive constant.
According to the triangle angle sum theorem, the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. Therefore, we can write:
4x + 6x + 5x = 180°
15x = 180°
x = 12°
Substituting x = 12° in the expressions for the angles, we get:
4x = 48°
6x = 72°
5x = 60°
So, the angles of the triangle are 48°, 72°, and 60°.
To determine whether the triangle is acute, right, or obtuse, we can use the Pythagorean theorem or the cosine rule.
Using the cosine rule, we have:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos(C)
c = 72
Since 72 is the largest side of the triangle, it is opposite the largest angle, which is 72°. Therefore, the triangle is obtuse.
Hence, the correct answer is option D, obtuse.

5. Lola Tetchi wishes to fence her agricultural land using only a 600-meter long material. If the land is quadrilateral in shape, what should be its dimensions in order to enclose the maximum area?
A. 270m x 30m
B. 250m x 50m
C. 200m x 100m
D. 150m x 150m
VIEW ANSWER
Option D
Explanation
The correct answer is D. 150m x 150m.
Let the dimensions of the quadrilateral be x and y. Since the total length of the material is 600 meters, we have:
2x + 2y = 600
x + y = 300
y = 300 - x
The area of the quadrilateral is given by:
A = xy
Substituting y = 300 - x, we get:
A = x(300 - x)
A = 300x - x^2
This is a quadratic equation, which represents a parabola that opens downwards. Therefore, the maximum area occurs at the vertex of the parabola. The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by:
x = -b/2a
where a = -1 and b = 300.
Substituting the values, we get:
x = -300/(2*(-1))
x = 150
Therefore, the dimensions of the quadrilateral that encloses the maximum area are x = 150m and y = 300 - x = 150m. This means that the quadrilateral is a square with sides of 150 meters, and the maximum area that can be enclosed is 150m x 150m = 22,500 square meters.
Hence, the correct answer is option D, 150m x 150m.
