Geometry MATHEMATICS COURSE A

Warning: There are more than one versions of the test. This test is designed for those students who have already passed the first test with the grade G, and are aiming to a higher grade.
Instructions Test period Resources 100 minutes. Monday 19 Jan 2009. Formula sheet, your personalised formula booklet, ruler, protractor, and a graphic calculator. No telephone may be used as a calculator. You are not allowed to borrow anything from your classmates during the test. Write the solution of the problem under each problem in the designated area. In case you need extra space, you may use extra sheets available. For most items a single answer is not enough. It is also expected that you write down what you do that you explain/motivate your reasoning that you draw any necessary illustrations. Try all of the problems. It can be relatively easy, even towards the end of the test, to receive some points for partial solutions. A positive evaluation can be given even for unfinished solutions. Problems 4, 9 and 10 are larger problem which may take up to 30 minutes to solve completely. It is important that you try to solve these problems. Score and The maximum score is 35 points. mark levels The maximum number of points you can receive for each solution is indicated after each problem. If a problem can give 2 Pass-points and 1 Pass with distinctionpoint this is written [2/1]. Some problems are marked with , which means that they more than other problems offer opportunities to show knowledge that can be related to the criteria for Pass with Special Distinction in Assessment Criteria 2000. Lower limit for the mark on the test VG: Pass with distinction: 20 points (VG/MVG-test) MVG: Pass with special distinction: 25 points (VG/MVG-test). You should show the highest quality work in the -problems.

In each case, show how you arrived at your answer by clearly indicating all of the necessary steps, formula substitutions, diagrams, graphs, charts, etc. 1. How many degrees must the equilateral triangle be rotated about point P so that the triangle will coincide with the original one? Give the least possible angle. Explain. (0/1) P Suggested solutions: 360 = 120 Answer: 120 3 This is due to special rotational symmetry of the equilateral triangle. Under a rotation of 120 about its center point P , no difference may be noticed in the configuration of the equilateral triangle. 2. Investigate isosceles triangles, which have one angle that is 20 . Find the measure of the other angles in the triangles you find. Motivate with figures or with calculations. (1/1) Suggested Solution: There are basically two distinguishably different solutions: If the vertex A = 20 , then the other two angles must be equal to each other and their measure are: 180 A 180 20 160 B=C = = = = 80 Answer: B = C = 80 2 2 2 As illustrated in the figure. [1/0] If the any one of the side vertices is B = 20 , then due to the fact that C the triangle is an isosceles triangle, two side angles must be the same, i.e.: C = B = 20 And therefore: A = 180 2 B = 180 2 20 35 35 A = 180 40 = 140 A Answer: C = B = 20 , A = 140 As illustrated in the figure.

3. Calculate the length of the diameter, BD , of the isosceles trapezoid illustrated below where: DC = 38.0 cm , AB = 20.0 cm , AD = BC = 30.0 cm . (2/2) Suggested Solutions: We may draw a vertical line from A to the side DC . This is the height of the trapezoid. Due to the symmetry of the 38.0 20.0 = 9.0 cm problem DM = 2 The triangle AMD is a right triangle. Therefore, using the Pythagoras theorem, we may calculate the height of the trapezoid. h 2 = 30 2 9 2 = 819 h = 819 = 28.6 cm x is the hypotenuse of the right triangle BND , where

A gang secede to steal the 3.00 meter high and 5.50 ton Buddha status from the temple Chori-naram at Bangkok. In order to smuggle it out of the country, they decide on to smelt the golden status and make 500 identical golden statuses in proportion to the original. How high are the new status and how much do they each weight? (1/3)

A regular octagon is illustrated in the figure below: a. The angles shown in the figure are called exterior angles. What is the sum of all exterior angles of an octagon? Why? (0/2) b. If the sum of the degree measures of the interior angles of a polygon is 5 940 , how many sides does the polygon have? (0/2)

A H

F

E c. Calculate the area of the regular octagon illustrated above, if the length of each side of it is 1.00 cm . (0/2) Suggested Solution: a) No matter how many sides a polygon has, due to the fact that in starting from a point, A and going round to B , C , we always make a complete circle (turn) and therefore, the total sum of the exterior angles of any polygon (and therefore, an octagon) is always 360 . b) The total sum of angles of a polygon of number of sides n is 180 (n 2 ) . This is due to the fact that we may draw lines connecting a vertex of the polygon to the other vertices, making (n 2 ) triangles. Each one of these triangles contribute 180 to the system, making the total sum of (n 2) 180 . Therefore, if the degree measures of the interior angles of a polygon is 5 940 : (n 2)180 = 5 940 (n 2) = 5 940 = 33 n = 23 + 2 = 35 Answer: n = 35 180

c) We may draw two vertical segments BE , AF and two horizontal lines HC and GD . These segments divide the octagon to: One central square of the sides 1.00 cm and the area: Asq = 1.00 1.00 = 1.00 cm 2

2 1 2 2 2 , and area: A4Triangle = 4 / cm and the height = 1.00 cm 2 / / 2 2 2 2 2

Therefore, the total area of a regular octagon of sides 1.00 cm is:

A = 1.00 + 2 2 + 1.00 = 2.00 + 2 2 cm 2 Answer: A = 2.00 + 2 2 cm 2 4.83 cm 2

Second Method: Each interior angle, , every exterior angle a regular octagon may be calculated as:

6 180 1080 = = 135 A = B = C... = 180 135 = 45 8 8 There are eight such angles, therefore, sum of all exterior angles of a regular octagon is:

tot = A + B + C + D + E + F + F + H = 8 45 = 360
The sides of corner right-triangles at the figure above i.e. x may be calculated as: x 2 2 sin 45 = x = 1.0 sin 45 = 1.0 = cm 1 .0 2 2 Or as: x 2 2 cos 45 = x = 1.0 cos 45 = 1.0 = cm 1 .0 2 2 We may calculate the total area of the octagon above as the sum of 2 a rectangle of the width 1.0 cm and 1 + 2 / cm = 1 + 2 cm , and / 2 therefore area of Arec tan gle = (1.0 cm) 1.0 + 2 cm = 1.0 + 2 cm 2

8. The area of the right triangle illustrated in the figure below is equal to one third of the area of the half-circle illustrated below. Find the angles of the triangle. (2/4/)
Suggested Solutions: 1 Data: Atriangle = Ahalf circle 3 Problem: A = 90 , B = ? , C = ?

A = 90

C O The triangle is a right-triangle and A = 90 . This is due to the fact that the hypotenuse of the triangle is the diameter of the circle.

We may draw a vertical line from the A = 90 vertex A to the base of the triangle AB and name it h . x h 2x x We may realize that due to the fact C D O B that two sides of the triangle AOC are the radius of the circle, i.e.: AO = OB = r , it is an isosceles triangle and therefore: ABO = OAB x . Therefore AOC = 2 x . This is due to the fact that AOC = 2 x is an exterior angle to the triangle AOC . Naming the radius of the circle r , we may express the area relationship as: 1 Atriangle = Ahalf circle 3 1 11 h BC = r 2 / / 2 32 1 / h 2r = r 2 / 3 1 h = r 6 In the triangle ADO we may express the height of the triangle as h h sin (AOC ) = sin (2 x ) = h = r sin(2 x ) OA r 1 1 h = r r sin (2 x ) = r sin (2 x ) = 2 x = sin 1 2 x = 31.6 B = 15.8 16 / / 6 6 6 6 Answer: A = 90, B 16, C 74
