TOPIC: TRIGONOMETRIC RATIOS
CONTENT:
Basic trigonometric ratios (i) sine (ii) cosine (iii) tangent with respect to right-angled triangles.
These trigonometric ratios are applicable to right – angled triangle. A right – angle triangle is 900. Thus the remaining two angles add up to 900 since every triangle contains two right angles.

Image

In ∆ABC, B + C = 900.

Such angles whose sum is 900 are said to be complementary angles. While capital letter are used for angles, small (lower case) letters are used for sides. Notice that the side opposite A is labelled a, the one opposite B is labelled b etc.
The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse. Every right – angled triangle obeys the Pythagoras theorem. This theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of any right angled triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

Thus in the above triangle, a2=b2+c2
Apply Pythagoras theorem to the right – angled triangles below to find the lettered sides.
Image

There are six basic trigonometric ratios viz: sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant and cotangent. The first three are commonly used.

They are applicable only to right – angled triangles. Their short forms are: Sin, Cos, tan, cosec, sec, and cot respectively.

COSINE
The trigonometric ratio cosine is adjacent divided by hypotenuse. Its reciprocal is secant.
Image

In the triangle above, B and C are complementary Sin B = b/a = Cos C
Also Sin C = c/a = CosB
For complementary angles, the sine of one is the cosine of the other i.e
Sin θ = Cos (90 - θ)

Example: solve sin2x = cos3x
Solution
Since Sin θ = cos (90 - θ)
So, sin2x = cos (90 – 2x) (i)
But we are given that
Sin2x = cos3x (ii)
From the right hand sides of equation (i) and (ii)
We conclude that

900 – 2x = 3x

900 = 5x

So x = 90/5 = 180.

Example 1.
The angle of elevation of the top of a tree is 600. If the point of observation is 4m from the foot of the tree. How far is the point from the top of the tree?
Solution
Image

Let the point of observation from the top of the tree be x metres.

Cos600 = 4/x

0.5 = 4/x

0.5x = 4

x = 4 ÷ 0.5
= 8m.

Example 2

Given that Cosx = 0.7431, 0 < x < 900, use tables to find the values of (i) 2sinx (ii) tan x/2
Solution
Cos x = 0.7431

X = cos-1 0.7431

= 420.

2Sinx = 2Sin420

= 2(0.6691)

= 1.3382

Tan x/2 = tan 42/2

= tan 210

= 0.3839

TOPIC: TRIGONOMETRIC RATIOS

Angles 300 and 600.

To consider the trigonometric ratios for the special angles 300 and 600, we shall consider an equilateral triangle of side 2units.

If the triangle is bisected we shall have 300

Image

If the value of the altitude h, can be obtained using Pythagoras theorem.

h2 + 12=22

h2 = 4 – 1

h= √3 consequently, Sin300 = opp/hyp = ½

Cos300 = adj/hyp

= √3/2

Tan300 = opp/adj

= 1/√3

Sin 600 = √3/2

Cos 600 = ½

Tan 600 = √3/1

= √3
Image

Example find x and y in the figure below
Image

Look at the figure with respect to the given 600, the known side is adjacent. The unknown side x is the hypotenuse, the trigonometric ratio that connects the known (adjacent) and the unknown (hypotenuse) is cosine.
Thus we write

Cos 600 = 4/x

But cos 60 = ½

So ½ = 4/x

Hence x = 8.

To find y, y is the opposite side and 4 is the adjacent. Hence we use tangent

Tan 600 = y/4

But tan 600 = √3

√3=y/4,

hence y = 4√3

Do not use tables but leave surds in your answer.

Trigonometric ratios related to the unit circle

Angles between 00 and 3600.

Consider a circle of radius one unit and centre at O, the origin, in the XY plane.
Image
https://youtu.be/c819bGfH8FA

The circle is called a unit circle. Point P has co-ordinate (x,y) and lOPl = 1 unit.
Line Op makes an angle of θ with Ox.
In the right – angled triangles,
Sinθ = y/1 = y
Cosθ = x/1 = x
The values of x and y are a measure of Cosθ and Sinθ respectively.
Let the unit circle be graduated in degrees from 00 to 3600 as shown below. The graph of y = Sinθ can be drawn using the unit circle.
One can plot values of y against θ to get a wave-like curve.

For instance when θ = 3600, the corresponding y value is obtained by drawing dotted horizontal line from mark 300 on the unit circle to meet the y – axis.

When θ = 900, the dotted horizontal line for 900 on the circle will meet the y – axis where y = 1
https://youtu.be/1m9p9iubMLU

Image

To draw the graph of Cosx, use the corresponding values of x and θ.
https://youtu.be/Vn4TnlrFpsw

For instance on the circle, when θ = 00, that corresponds to x = 1, when θ = 600, dotted line from point 600 on the unit circle vertically downwards will meet the x-axis at x = ½

(i.e when θ = 600, x = ½).
Plotting values of x against corresponding values of θ gives the graph of Cos θ . it is another wave-shaped curve.

As θ increases beyond 3600, the curves of Sin θ and Cosθ repeat themselves.

Image

Notice that +700 = -2900 (same direction)

-300 = +3300

In what quadrant is (i) +1700 (ii) -1700 (iii) -450 (iv) -2600 (v)2350.?

What positive angle is equivalent to

(i) -1600 (ii) -1800 (iii) -2700?

What negative angle is equivalent to

(i) 1670 (ii) 2020 (iii) 2850

For angles in the first quadrant, 00<θ< 900.
Image

In this quadrant, x is negative, y is positive.
Image

https://youtu.be/wCOtV44IUw4

X is positive
Y is negative

Sin θ = -y/r = -Sin (3600 - θ). This is negative

Cos θ = x/r = Cos(3600 - θ). This is positive

Tan θ = -y/x = - tan(3600 - θ). This is negative

TOPIC: Mensuration
Content:
Definition and meaning of an arc sector and segment of a circle.
Length of arc of circle
Perimeter of sectors and segments
Areas of sectors and segments
Areas of sectors of a circle
Area of segments of a circle

DEFINITION AND MEANING, LENGTH OF ARCS OF CIRCLE
AN ARC: an arc of a circle is a part of the circumference of the circle.
Image

Hence, an arc is a length or a distance along the circumference of a circle. It is never an area.

A SECTOR: a sector is a part or a fraction of a circle bounded by an arc and two radii.
Image
Hence, an arc is a length whereas the sector covers an area of a circle.

A SEGMENT
The segment of a circle is the part cut off from the circle by a chord. A chord is the line segment AB.
Image

https://youtu.be/viM7a4IUp9Y

LENGHT OF ARCS OF CIRCLES
If 5 sectors are cut off from 5 different circles and the lengths of the arcs l, radii r and angles θ measured and compared.
Then

i/2π = θ/360 or L = θ/360 x 2 πr = 2 πr θ/360

hence, in a circle of radius r, the length l of an arc that subtends angle θ at the centre is given by

L = θ/360 x 2 πr

Image

Example 1:
Find the length of an arc of a circle of radius 5.6cm which subtends an angle of 600 at the centre of the circle (Take π = 22/7)
Solution

Length of arc = θ/360 x 2 πr

Given θ = 600, r = 5.6cm, π = 22/7

Substituting into the formula,

Length of arc AB = 60/360 x 2 x 22/7 x 5.6

= 1/6 x 2 x 22/7 x 5.6

= 1/6 x 2 x 22/7 x 0.8

= 17.6/3

= 5.8667cm

= 5.87cm (2 decimal places)

Example 2;
What angle does an arc 6.6cm in length subtends at the centre of a circle of radius 14cm. Use π = 22/7)
Solution

Length of arc xy = θ/360 x 2 πr

6.6 = θ/360 x 2 x 22/7 x 14

θx 2 x 22 x 14 = 6.6 x 360 x 7

θ = (6.6 x 360 x 7)/(2 x 22 x 14)

= (33 x 18)/11x2

= 3 x 9

= 270

θ = 270 , the angles subtend by the arc

Example 3:

An arc of length 12.57cm subtends an angle of 600 at the centre of a circle. Find
The radius of the circle
The diameter of the circle.
Solution

Arc= θ/360 x 2 πr

12.57 = 60/360 x 2 x 22/7 x r/1

12.57 x 360 x 7 = 60 x 2 x 22 x r

r = (12.57 x 360 x 7)/(60 x 2 x 22)

r = (12.57 x 6 x 7)/44

r = 527.94/44

r = 11.99

r = 12cm

Example 4:
An arc of a circle of diameter 28m subtends an angle of 1080 at the centre of the circle. Find the length of the major arc.
Solution

Minor arc angle = 1080
Major arc angle = 3600 – 1080

= 2520.

Arc = = θ/360 x 2 πr

= 252/360 x 2/1 x 22/7 x 14/1

= (252 x 44)/180

= 11088/180

= 61.6m
The length of major arc = 61.6m

https://youtu.be/C9z3FXS7nlo

Evaluation
Find the radius of a circle which subtends an angle of 1200 at the centre of the circle and is of length 2.8cm (π = 22/7)

In terms of π, what is the length of an arc of a circle of radius 31/2m?

https://youtu.be/SwrlKx52L5o


PERIMETER OF SECTORS AND SEGMENTS
The word perimeter simply means the distance round an object. So the perimeter of a sector of a circle is the distance round the circle.
Image

hence the perimeter of a sector AOB is the sum of two radii (2r) and length of arc l, where r is radius and l = length of arc.
Perimeter of sector AOB = 2r + Lunits

Example
Find the perimeter of the sector of radius 3.5cm which subtends an angle of (i) 450 (ii)3150.
Solution
Length of arc = θ/360 x 2πr

Here θ = 450, r = 3.5cm, π = 22/7

Length of arc = 45/360 x 2 x 22/7 x 3.5

= 1/8 x 2/1x 22/7 x 7/2

= 22/8

= 2.75cm

The perimeter of the sector is 2r + l, here r = radius which is 3.5cm and l = 2.75cm.
Perimeter = 2r + length of arc
= 2r + 2.75cm
= (2 x 3.5) + 2.75cm
= 7.0 + 2.75cm
= 9.75cm

(ii) θ = 3150, π = 22/7 , r = 3.5cm

Length of arc = 315/360 x 2 x 22/7 x 3.5cm

= 63/72 x 2 x 22/7 x 7/2 cm

= 7/8 x 2 x 22/7 x 7/2 cm

= 77/4 = 19.25cm

Perimeter = 2r + 19.25cm

= (2 x 3.5) + 19.25

= 7 + 19.25

= 26.25cm

EVALUATION
Calculate the perimeter of a sector of a circle of radius 14cm, where the sector angle is 600. Take π = 22/7
Page 163, 15, 16, 23, 27


PERIMETER OF SEGMENT
The perimeter of a segment = length of arc + length of chord.
To find the length of chord AB, we bisect <AOB

Example 2:
The perimeter of a sector is 61.43cm. If the angle subtended by the sector at the centre is 1200. Find the radius of the sector.
Solution
Perimeter of a sector = Arc + 2r

61.43 = = θ/360 x 2πr + 2r

61.43 = = 120/360 x 2 x 22/7 x r + 2r

61.43 = = 1/3 x 2 x 22/7 x r + 2r

Multiply through by L.c.m = 21

21 x 61.43 = (211/3)x 2 x 22r)/ 3 x 7+ 2r)

1290.03 = 2 x 22r + 21 + 2r

1290.03 = 44r + 42r

1290.03 = 86r

86r = 1290.03

r = 1290.03/86

r = 15.00cm
https://youtu.be/3j8p1HW9GkI

Example 3
The perimeter of a sector is 61.43cm. If the radium of the sector is 15cm. Find the angle it subtends at the centre.
Solution
Perimeter of a sector = Arc + 2r

61.43 = θ/360 x 2 πr + 2r

61.43 = θ/360 x 2 x 22/7 x 15 + 2 x 15

61.43 = 11θ/(6 x 7) + 30

61.42 – 30 = 11θ/42

31.43/1 = 11θ/42

11θ = 42 x 31.43

θ = (42 x 31.43)/11

θ = 1200

EVALUATION
The angle of a sector of a circle radius 12.5cm is 680. Calculate the perimeter of the sector.
A rope of length 18m is used to form a sector of a circle of radius 2.5m on a school playing field. What is the size of the angle of the sector? Correct to the nearest degree?
The perimeter of a sector is 75.43cm. If the angle – subtended by the sector at the centre is 1350. Find the radius of the sector.
An arc of length 21.34cm subtends an angle 1010 at the centre of a circle. Find the diameter of the circle.

Using trigonometric ratios

AD/r = Sin θ/2

AD = r Sin θ/2

But, AD = DB
Hence
AB chord AB = AD + DB

= r Sin θ/2 + r Sin θ/2

= 2r Sin θ/2 units

Length of Chord = 2r Sin θ/2units

Thus,
Perimeter of segment = θ/360 x 2πr + 2r Sin θ/2

= θ/180 x πr + 2r Sin θ/2


Example 3:
AB is a chord of a circle with centre o and radius 4cm, AOB = 1200. Calculate the perimeter of the minor segment (π = 22/7).

Solution
Image

Chord AB = rSinθ/2, r = 4cm, θ = 1200.

θ/2 = 120/2 = 600.

So chord AB = 2 x 4 Sin 600

= 8 x sin 600

= 8 x(√3)/2

= 4√3cm

= 6.92cm

Length of arc AB = 120/360 x 2 x 4 x 22/7

= 1/3 x 8 x 22/7

= 176/21

= 8.38cm (2 d.p)

Perimeter of minor segment = length of arc + chord

= 8.38 + 6.92cm

= 15.30cm

AREA OF SECTORS OF A CIRCLE

The area of a sector = θ/360 x area of circle

= θ/360 x πr2, where θ is the angle formed at the centre by the arc of the circle.

Example 1:

Find the area of the sector of a circle of radius 4.8cm which subtends an angle of 1350 at the centre.(Take π = 3.142)
Solution

The area of a sector = θ/360 x πr2

Here θ = 1350, r = 4.8cm, π = 3.142

The area of a sector = 135/360 x 3.142 x (4.8)2

= 135/360 x 3.142 x 4.8 x 4.8

= 27 x 3.142 x 0.4 x 0.8

= 27.14688cm2

Area of sector = 27.15cm2 (decimal places)

Example 2:
AB is an arc of a circle of length 9.2cm with centre 0 and the radius is 4.6cm. Find the area of the sector AOB.
Solution

Length of arc AB = θ/360 x 2πr

r = 4.6cm, length of arc = 9.2cm

Length of arc AB = θ/360 x 2 x π x 4.6

9.2 = θ/360 x 2 x π x 4.6

9.2 x 360 = θ x 2 x π x 4.6

θ = (9.2 x 360)/(2 π x 4.6)

θ = ( 360)/π

Area of sector AOB
= θ/360 x πr2

= θ/360 x πr2

= θ/360 x 1/360 x π x (4.6)2

= (4.6)2

= (4.6) x (4.6)

= 21.16cm2

New general mathematics for senior secondary school, Book 1 page 154 exercise 12d Nos 1 – 6.



SEGMENTS OF CIRCLES
Area of segments = area of sector – area of triangle

∴ Area of segment = θ/360 x πr2 - 1/2r2 Sin θ/2

= (r2/2) [πθ/180- Sin θ]
Example: The arc AB of a circle, radius 6.5cm, subtends an angle of 450 at the centre o. Find the area of the (i) Minor segment cut off by the chord AB (Take π = 22/7)
Solution
(i) Area of sector AOB = θ/360 x πr2

θ = 450, r = 6.5, π = 22/7

Area of sector AOB = 45/360 x 22/7 x (6.5)2cm2

= 1/8 x 22/7 x 6.5 x 6.5

= 1/8 x 22/7 x 42.25

= 16.598

= 16.60cm2 (2d.p)

(ii.) Area of segment = Area of sector – Area of ∆

Area of ∆ = 1/2 AO X OBSin450

= 1/2 X 0.5 x 6.5Sin450

= 42.25/2 x 1/√2

= (42.25√2)/4

= (42.25 x 1.414)/4

= 14.935375cm2

∴area of segment = 16.60 – 14.35375

Surface area of cone
From the above diagram.
The area of the sector = area of the curved surface of the cone
Length of arc AB = circumference of the circular base of the cone

Curved surface area of cone = θ/3600 x πl2

Also, θ/3600 x 2πl= 2πr

θ/3600 = r/l

Curved surface area of cone = r/l x πl2 =

Total surface area of cone = πrl + πr2

= πr(l + r).

Example 1: Calculate in terms of π, the total surface area of a cone of base diameter 12cm and height 10cm.
Solution
Image

Using Pythagoras rule,

l2 = 102 + 62

l2 = 100 + 36

= 136

l= √136

Total surface area

= πrl + πr2

= πr(l + r).

= 6π(√136 + 6)cm2.

2. A 2160 sector of a circle of radius 5cm is bent to form a cone. Find the radius of the base of the cone and its vertical angle.
Solution
Image

Radius = r
Vertical angle = 2α
Circumference of base of cone = length of arc of sector
Substituting values

216/3600 x 2π x 5= 2πr

r = 216/3600 x 2π x 5 x 1/2π

r = 216/72 = 3

∴ r = 3

Sin α = 3/5 = 0.6000

α = 36.870

2α = 36.870 x 2

= 73.740

Radius of base = 3cm

Vertical angle = 73.70 (to 0.10)

SURFACE AREA OF CUBES, CUBOIDS AND CYLINDER

CUBE: since a cube is solid with six faces

Area of one face is a x a = a2.

Total area = a x a x 6 = 6a2.

Surface Area = 6a2 units

Example 1:
What is the surface area of a cube of edges 12cm.
Solution
A = 6 x 12 x 12

= 6 x 144

= 864cm2
https://youtu.be/5xdKfAwDKWA

Example 2: calculate the surface area of a cube of edge 11cm.
Solution

A = 6a2

= 6 x 11 x 11

= 6 x 121

= 726cm2


CUBOIDS
Surface area of a cuboids = 2(lb + bh + lh)

Example: Given a cuboid of edges 3cm, 5cm, 8cm. calculate the surface area.
Solution
Surface area of a cuboids = 2(lb + bh + lh)

= 2(8 x 5 +8 x 3 + 5 x 3)

= 2(40 + 24 + 15)

= 2 x 79

= 158cm2

https://youtu.be/hi2QMbROemk

CYLINDER

Area of cylinder with one end closed = 2πrh + πr2

= πr(2h + r)
https://youtu.be/7mdSmvvOmF4

If two ends are closed.

Area = 2πrh + 2πr2

= 2πr(h + r), where r = radius of cylinder, h = height of cylinder

Example:
Find the surface area of a cylinder with height 14cm and base radius of 7cm consider all the three cases namely;
Open ended cylinder
One end open cylinder
Both ends closed cylinder
Solution
Open ended cylinder
Area = 2πrh

r = 7cm, h = 14cm

A = 2 x 22/2 x 7 x 14

= 44 x 14

= 616cm2

Open end open cylinder

Area = 2πrh + πr2

= (616 + 22/2 x 72 )cm2

= (616 + 154)cm2

= 770cm2.
https://youtu.be/PhA-7AE6MIU

Both ends closed cylinder
Area = 2πr(h + r)

= 2 x 22/2 x 7(14 + 7)cm2

= 44/2 x 7 x 21

= 924cm2.

https://youtu.be/gK9OgZ6eLx0

Evaluation

SURFACE AREA OF PRISMS AND PYRAMIDS
PRISMS: The total surface area is the sum of the surface of the five faces as shown below

https://youtu.be/xCdxURXMdFY

Image

Solution
Area of ABCD

=20 x 10cm2

= 200cm2

Area of AFED = 20 x 6cm2

= 120cm2

Area of BCEF = 20 x 8cm2

= 160cm2

Area of ∆ABF = area of ∆DCE

= 1/2 X 8 X 6cm2

= 24cm2

Total surface area of prism = (200 + 120 + 160 + 24 + 24)cm2

= 528cm2

In the case of a rectangular prism or cuboid, the total surface area is determined by finding and summing up the areas of the four rectangular faces and the two end faces.
https://youtu.be/ZE41ljhfq2o

Examples 2: find the total surface area of the solid.

Image

Area of A = 5 x 3cm2 = 15cm2

Area of B = 8 x 5cm2 = 40cm2

Area of C = 8 x 3cm2 = 24cm2

Area of D= 8 x 5cm2 = 40cm2

Area of E = 8 x 3cm2 = 24cm2

Area of F = 5 x 3cm2 = 15cm2

∴ Total surface area = (15 + 40 + 24 + 40 + 24 + 15)cm2

= 158cm2.

https://youtu.be/VwdMbDpMab4

PYRAMIDS: the total surface area of a pyramid is found by summing up areas of the common shapes that make up the pyramid.
Example 3:
Find the total surface area of a right pyramid with a rectangular base 6cm by 10cm, a height of 8.3cm and a slant edge of 10.14cm.

Image

Solution
The total surface area is the sum of the surface areas of the five faces:
ABCD, VAB, VDC, and VAD

ABCD is a rectangle so AB = DC and AD = BC

If AB = 10cm, then DC = AB = 10cm

If AD = 6cm, then BC = AD = 6cm

Hence, area of ABCD = 10 x 6 = 60cm2

Area of ∆VAB = Area of ∆VDU and ∆VBC = Area of ∆VAD

Image

Area of ∆VAB = 1/2 x AB x VP
By using Pythagoras rule

VP2 = VB2 – PB2

= (10.14)2 - 52

= 102.8 – 25

= 77.8

VP = √77.8 = 8.82cm

Area of ∆VAB = 1/2 x AB x VP

= 1/2 x 10 x 8.82

= 5 x 8.82

= 41.10cm2

Area of ∆VDU

Area of ∆VBC = 1/2 x AB x VF

But VF2 = VC2 – FC2

= (10.14)2 – 32

= 102.8 – 9

= 93.8

VF = √93.8 = 9.69cm

Area of ∆VBC = 1/2 x BC x VF

= 1/2 x 6 x 9.69

= 3 x 9.69

= 29.07cm2

Area of∆VAD
Image

Area of rectangular base ABCD = 10 x 6 = 60cm2.

Total surface area of the pyramid = [(41.10 + 41.10 + 29.07 + 29.07 + 60)]

=(82.20 + 58.14 + 60)cm2

= 200.34cm2

Volume of frustum of a cone and pyramid
Surface area and volume of compound shapes.

TOTAL SURFACE AREA OF FRUSTUM OF CONE AND PYRAMIDS
A frustum is the remaining part of cone or pyramid when the top part is cut off as shown below. Daily examples of frustums are buckets lamps shades etc

Image
Frustum of a cone

Image

In surface area of the frustrum of a pyramid, we sum up all areas of the surfaces that make up the frustum.

For frustum of a cone.
Total surface area of a closed frustum = π(height x sum of radii) + area of top and base circles.

https://youtu.be/uhLrZvzKV9o

Example 1:
Find the total surface area of a bucket 36cm in diameter at the top and 24cm at the bottom.
The depth of the bucket is 30cm.
Solution
The total surface area of bucket = sum of curved part + area of bottom circle
= π x height x (sum of radii) + area of bottom

= π x 30 x (18 + 12) + π122

= π x 30 x 30 + π(144)

= 900π + 144π

= 1044π2
https://youtu.be/jHQhs9SfZM4

Example 2:
Find in cm2, the area of material required for a lamp shade in the form of a frustum of a cone of which the top and bottom diameters are 20cm and 30cm respectively and the vertical height is 12cm.
Solution
Image

By Pythagoras’s theorem, y = 26 and z = 13
Image

z2 = 122 + 52

= 144 + 25

= 169

Z = √169

= 13

Surface area of frustum

= π x 15 x 39 - π x 10 x 26cm2

= 13π(45 - 20)cm2

= 13π x 25cm2

= 1021cm2

Area of material required = 1021cm2. (3 s. f)

Evaluation
A bucket is 12cm in diameter at the top 8cm in diameter at the bottom and 4cm deep. Calculate its volume in cm3 in terms π. (JAMB)




SURFACE AREA OF FRUSTRUM OF PYRAMIDS
Example:
A frustum of a pyramid consists of a square base of length 10cm and a top square of length 7cm height of the frustum is 6cm. Calculate to the nearest whole number in the surface area.
Solution
Image

Diagonals of the top and bottom

IPRI2 = IPQI2 + IQRI2

= 102 + 102

= 100 + 100

= 200

IPRI = √200

= 14.14

IYRI = 14.14/2

= 7.07cm

= 7.1cm

Diagonal AC

IACI2 = IABI2 + IBCI2

= 72 + 72

= 49 + 49

= 98

IACI2 = √98

= 9.89

BUT CX = 9.89/2

= 4.945

= 4.95cm

Image

To calculate the height of the added pyramid.
Let the heights of the added pyramid be h by similar ∆

h/4.95 = (h+6)/7.07

7.07h = 4.95h + 29.7

7.07h – 4.95h = 29.7

2.12h = 29.7

= 29.7/2.12

= 14cm

∴height of bigger pyramid
= 13.8 + 6cm
= 19.8cm

To calculate the slant side of the smaller and bigger ∆s
Bigger ∆

IVRI2 = 7.12 + 19.82

= 50.41 + 392.04

= 442.45

∴IVRI2 = √442.45

= 21.04

= 21cm
https://youtu.be/jHQhs9SfZM4

Smaller ∆:
Image

= 4.95 + 13.82

= 24.50 + 190.44

= 214.94

IVCI = √214.94

= 14.66cm

= 14.7cm

To find the surface area of frustum of pyramids using Hero’s formula for finding the area of the triangular face.
S = √((s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

Where s = 1/2(a + b + c) and a, b and c are sides of the triangle

s = 1/2(21+ 21 + 10)

= 1/2 x 52

= 26
Area of a ∆face of big pyramid = √((s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

S = √((26(26-21)(26-21)(26-10))

= √((26(5)(5)(16))

= √10400

= 101.98

= 102
Image

Area of 4 ∆faces of the pyramid

= 4 x 101.98cm2

= 407.92cm2

= 408cm2

Area of 4 ∆faces of the small pyramid
s = 1/2(a + b + c)
s = 1/2(14.7 + 14.7 + 7)
s = 1/2 x 36.4
= 18.2
Area of a face = √((s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))
= √((18.2(18.2-14.7)(18.2-14.7)(18.2-7))
= √((18.2(3.5)(3.5)(11.2))
= √2497.04
= 49.97cm2
Area of a 4face = 4 x 49.97
= 199.88
= 200cm2
Image

Area of the base of the frustum = l x b
= 10 x 10
= 100cm2
Area of the top of the frustum = l x b
= 7 x 7
49cm2
Total surface area of the frustum = [(Area of the 4∆faces of the big pyramid – Area of the 4∆faces of the small pyramid )] + Bottom + Top area
= [(407.2 – 199.88) + 100 + 49]
= 208.04 + 149
= 357.04cm2
= 375cm2

Evaluation
A pyramid is on a square base of 25m side and 25m high. The top of the pyramids 10m high was cut off. Find the surface area of the four sides of the frustum formed.



VOLUME OF FRUSTUM OF CONE AND PYRAMIDS
Volume of frustum = volume of the full cone/pyramid – volume of teh part cut off.
Example:
A square cone 24cm high and of 18cm diameter at its base is cut off at half of its height. Calculate the volume of the remaining frustum. Leave π in your answer.
Solution
Image

Volume of original cone = 1/3πr2h

= 1/3π x 92 x 24

= 1/3π x 81 x 24

= 27 π(24)

To find the radius r of the base of the cut off part, we use similarity of ∆s = 12/r = 24/9

r = (12 x 9)/24 = 9/2 = 41/2cm

Volume of small cone = 1/3π(9/2)2 x 12

= 81π

Hence volume of frustum (i) – (ii)
= 27 x 24π - 81π

= (81 x 8) π - 81π

= 81π(8 - 1)

= 567 πcm3

Example 2:
Find the volume of the frustum of a pyramid with 30cm square top and 50cm square base and height 20cm.Solution
Image

If x is the height of the cut – off part and 15cm is half the side of its square base,
Then

x/(x+20) = 15/25

i.e 25x = 300 + 15x

10x = 300

x = 30.

Volume of entire pyramid

= 1/3(base x height)

= 1/3(base x height)

= 1/3(50 x 50) x (20 + 60)

= 1/3(2500 x 80)

= 1/3(200,000)cm3

But volume of top pyramid

= 1/3(base x height)

= 1/3(30 x 30 x 60)

= 1/3(900 x 60)

= 1/3(54,000)cm3

Volume of frustum = 1/3(200,000 – 54,000)

= 1/3(146,000)cm3

=48666 2/3cm3

What is the capacity of a bucket that is 42cm deep and inner radii of the base and topmost part of the bucket are 12cm by 20cm respectively?
Surface area of a Hut
A hut has:
The curved surface of cone
The curved surface of cylinder
The circular base of cylinder
Total surface area of a hut = 2πrh + πrl + π r2
= πr(2h + l + r)


Example 2:
A machine part is made up of a cylinder and a cone on each end, the dimension of which are shown below. Calculate the total surface area of the machine.
Image

Solution
Surface area of 1st cone = πrl
By Pythagoras rule.

L2 = (62 + 42)cm2

= (36 + 16)cm2

= 52cm

l = √52
the surface area of the come
= π x 4cm x √52cm

= 4π√52cm2

Surface area of 2nd cone = πrl

l2 = 92 + 42

= 81 + 16

= 97cm

L = √97cm2

Area = 4π√97cm2

Therefore total surface area of the machine = surface area of cylinder + surface area of 1st cone + surface area of 2nd
= 64πcm2 + 4π√52cm2 + 4π√97cm2

= 4π(16+ √52+ √97)cm2

TOPIC: Data Presentation
Sub-Topics: Revision on collection, tabulation and presentation of data.

Frequency distribution.
Statistics can be considered as a way or method used in the collection and organisation of data in order to interprets, predict and get other information required out of the data.
This data could be information about some people e.g..ages, weights, heights, examination scores, etc
https://youtu.be/T7KYO76DoOE

Collection of Data
Let us remind ourselves that there are two kinds of data namely:
(a) Discrete data (b) continuous data
Discrete data are those which are obtained by direct counting e.g numbers of persons born on a particular days of the week, month of the year, etc.
Continuous data are those which require measurement before counting e.g number of persons of some age, height, weight etc.

Activity 1
Collect and tabulate data on the days of the Week each member of the class was born.

Tabulation and Presentation of data.
For easy access to information, data are normally presented using frequency tables. This table marches each data with the number of times it appeared. The frequency table is prepared as follows:
1. Draw the columns
2. Represent the data given in the first column in ascending or descending order.
3. Represent each data with the use of a tally.

Raw data and frequency tables
When data is first collected and has not been organised in any way, it is called Raw Data. For example, in a game, a die was thrown several times. Below are the results of the scores.

2 3 4 4 2 1 3 2 6 5
3 2 1 1 2 5 2 1 4 4
6 5 6 1 6 5 4 5 4 3
6 5 5 3 5 2 1 4 5 2
4 5 4 6 3 1 5 6 6 5

The above is an example of raw data. One way we can organise the above data is to present it in a frequency distribution table (or frequency table for short) as shown below.
No of throws Tally Frequency

Note – Frequency table can be given with or without the tally column
https://youtu.be/3iWQQyTv77E

In a test marked out of 10, a group of pupils obtained the following marks.
3 4 6 3 4 3 5 6 7 6
8 9 5 9 10 7 8 2 6 5

LINE GRAPH
Line graphs are used to show trends over a period of time and have the advantage that they can be extended. To draw a line graph, plot the given data as a series of points and then join the points together by straight lines. The lines can be drawn vertically or horizontally and have no thickness.

Example 1
A comparison of traffic densities in a number of countries produced the following results.

Frequency

PIE CHART.
A pie chart is a circular shape which is divided into sections whose angles are proportional to the frequencies of the items.

Steps to Drawing a Pie Chart

Step 1.
Calculate the angles of sector of the pie chart using x/yx = 3600. Where x is the frequency of the total frequencies of all the items.

Step 2.
Using a pair of compasses, draw a circle with a suitable radius.

Step 3.
Partition it into the various angles of sectors obtained in step 1 using a protractor.

Step 4.
Label each sector showing the information which relates to the sector.

Step 5
Give a title to your pie chart, by stating the information the pie chart is representing.

Example 1:
The table below shows the expenditure of a Bachelor in a given month
Items | Expenditure N1000
Food | 10
Rent | 5
Bills | 3
Clothing | 2
Savings | 6
Miscellaneous | 4
Image
Draw a pie chart to illustrate the information

Solution
First, we shall calculate the angle of sector for each item as follows.
Image
Title: Pie chart showing the expenditure of Bachelor in a certain month.

Example 2:
In a certain school, the lesson periods for each week are as itemized below.
English 10, Mathematics 7, Biology 3, Statistics 4, Ibo 3, others 9.
Draw a pie chart to illustrate this information
Image
Title : pie Chart showing the lesson periods for each week in a certain school.

Example 3:
The pie chart illustrates the amount of private time a student spends in a week studying various subjects. Find the value of k.
Image

Solution
Since the total angles of all sectors in a given circle is 3600.

1050 + 750 + (2k)0+ k0 + (3k)0 = 3600

1050 + 750 + (6k)0=3600

1800 + 6k =3600

6k = 3600 -1800

6k = 1800

Divide through by 6

6k/6 = 1800/6

K = 300.

Example 4:
The pie chart represents the fruits on display in grocery shop. If there are too oranges on display. How many apples are there?
Image

Solution
The only sector that has useful information is that of oranges.
Number of oranges = 60

Sector angle of orange = 360 – (60 + 100 + 120)

= 3600 – 2800

= 800.

But 60/(total fruits) x 360/1 = 800.

60/(T.f)x 360/1 = 800

21600/(total fruits) = 80/1

Cross multiplying
21600 = 80(total fruit)

Dividing both sides by 80

21600/80 = (80(total fruit))/80

= 270
∴ Total number of fruit is 270.

Let the number of apples be x, then;

x/270 x 360/1 = 1200

x= (120 x 270)/3600

= 900

Example 5:
The Pie chart below shows the distribution of students in a certain school into some major ethnic groups in Nigeria.
Image

In its simplest form, what fraction of the students are Igbos?
What percentage of the students are Hausas?
What is the ratio of the Binis to Hausas in the school in its simplest terms.

Solution

The angle of the sector representing Igbos is 700.

= 70/360 of the students are Igbos.

= 70/360 = 7/36

The angle of sector for Hausa is x0 and this can be obtained using

1100 + x0 + 700 + 600 + 900 = 3600

3300 + x0 = 3600

x = 300.

Taking the percentage of the fraction, the students who are Hausas use

= 30/ 300 x 100/1

= 1/12 x 100/1

= 100/12

8.3%

The angle of sector for binis = 900

The angle of sector for Hausas= 300

ratio of Binis to Hausas 900 : 300

= 3 : 1

Example 6:
The Pie chart below shows the weekly sales of a motor dealer in Lagos in 1999.
Image
What fraction of the cars were Toyota?
What percentages of the Cars were Datsun?
If the dealer sold 16 Peugeots, How many BMW did he sell in a week?
Solution

The angle of the sector representing Toyota is 1200.

= 120/ 360

= 12/36

= 1/3

Taking the percentage of the fraction of the Datsun Cars

= 90/ 360 x 100/1

= 1/4 x 100/1

= 25%

To get the total number of Cars, we will first get the angle of sector for Peugeot.

70 + 120 + 90 + x + 360
280 + x = 360
X = 360 – 280
x = 800

Assuming the total number of Cars to be y, then

16/y x 360/1 = 800

5760/y = 80/1

Cross multiplying
5760 = 80y

Divide both sides by 80

5760/80 = 80y/80

y = 720.

To get the number of BMW sold in a week, let the number of the BMW sold be m

m/72 x 360/1 = 700

360m/72 = 70

Cross multiplying
360m = 5040

Dividing both sides by 360

360m/360 = 5040/360

m = 14

Frequency polygon
The frequency polygon is obtained by joining the midpoints of the tops of the histogram rectangles with straight lines. Since the polygon is a closed figure, we take one interval below the lowest internal on the base axis. Then we join the ends of the polygon to the midpoints of the new intervals as shown below.

Example 1
The table shows the distribution of the masses of fifty logs exported in September 1981 by a timber and plywood company.
Mass (kg) No of Logs
150 -154 1
155 – 159 4
160 – 164 8
165 - 169 13
170 – 174 12
175 – 179 8
180 – 184 3
185 – 189 1
Image

Construct the frequency polygon for the distribution
