1. **Problem statement:** In the circle with center O, given \(\angle ACB = 36^\circ\) and line DC tangent at C, find: (i) \(\angle ABC\) (ii) \(\angle BAC\) (iii) \(\angle BCD\) 2. **Formula and rules:** - The angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference subtending the same arc. - Tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact. - The sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^\circ\). 3. **Step-by-step solution:** (i) Find \(\angle ABC\): - \(\angle ACB = 36^\circ\) is an angle at the circumference. - The arc AB subtends \(\angle ACB\) at the circumference and \(\angle AOB\) at the center. - By the circle theorem, \(\angle AOB = 2 \times \angle ACB = 2 \times 36^\circ = 72^\circ\). - Triangle OBC is isosceles with \(OB = OC\) (radii). - Let \(\angle OBC = \angle OCB = x\). - Sum of angles in \(\triangle OBC\): \(x + x + 72^\circ = 180^\circ\) so \(2x = 108^\circ\) and \(x = 54^\circ\). - \(\angle ABC\) subtends the same arc as \(\angle OBC\), so \(\angle ABC = 54^\circ\). (ii) Find \(\angle BAC\): - In \(\triangle ABC\), sum of angles is \(180^\circ\). - Known angles: \(\angle ACB = 36^\circ\), \(\angle ABC = 54^\circ\). - So \(\angle BAC = 180^\circ - 36^\circ - 54^\circ = 90^\circ\). (iii) Find \(\angle BCD\): - Line DC is tangent at C, so \(\angle OCB = 90^\circ\) (radius perpendicular to tangent). - \(\angle BCD = 90^\circ - \angle ACB = 90^\circ - 36^\circ = 54^\circ\). --- 4. **Problem statement:** Each interior angle of a regular polygon is \(162^\circ\). Find: (i) the size of each exterior angle (ii) the number of sides 5. **Formula and rules:** - Exterior angle = \(180^\circ - \) interior angle - Sum of exterior angles of any polygon = \(360^\circ\) - Number of sides \(n = \frac{360^\circ}{\text{exterior angle}}\) 6. **Step-by-step solution:** (i) Exterior angle = \(180^\circ - 162^\circ = 18^\circ\) (ii) Number of sides \(n = \frac{360^\circ}{18^\circ} = 20\) --- 7. **Problem statement:** (a) Factorize completely: \(3a^2b - 6ab + 5ab^2\) 8. **Step-by-step solution:** - Factor out common factor \(ab\): $$3a^2b - 6ab + 5ab^2 = ab(3a - 6 + 5b)$$ - Simplify inside parentheses: $$3a - 6 + 5b$$ - Factor 3 from \(3a - 6\): $$3a - 6 = 3(a - 2)$$ - So expression is: $$ab(3(a - 2) + 5b)$$ - No further factorization possible. --- 9. **Problem statement:** (b) Simplify \(2 - 5(y - 7) + 3y\) 10. **Step-by-step solution:** - Expand \(-5(y - 7)\): $$-5y + 35$$ - Expression becomes: $$2 - 5y + 35 + 3y$$ - Combine like terms: $$2 + 35 + (-5y + 3y) = 37 - 2y$$ --- **Final answers:** (i) \(\angle ABC = 54^\circ\) (ii) \(\angle BAC = 90^\circ\) (iii) \(\angle BCD = 54^\circ\) (b)(i) Exterior angle = \(18^\circ\) (b)(ii) Number of sides = 20 (11)(a) Factorized form: \(ab(3a - 6 + 5b)\) (11)(b) Simplified form: \(37 - 2y\)
