13. ∵ BD = BE

∴ △BDE is an isosceles triangle.

(ext. Ð of △)

∵ ÐBAC = ÐABC = 72°

∴ BC = AC (sides opp. equal Ðs)

∴ △ABC is an isosceles triangle.

ÐCFG = ÐBAC = 72° (alt. Ðs, FG // EA)

ÐCGF = ÐABC = 72° (alt. Ðs, FG // EA)

∴ ÐCFG = ÐCGF = 72°

∴ CG = CF (sides opp. equal Ðs)

∴ △CFG is an isosceles triangle.


14. (a)

(b) ∵ ÐBCG + (3x – 7°) = 180° (adj. Ðs on st. line)

(c) From the graph, the number of students passing the test

16.

(a) The cumulative frequency that corresponds to the lower quartile

From the graph, the weight that corresponds to a cumulative frequency of 15 is 53 kg.

∴ Lower quartile

(b) The cumulative frequency that corresponds to the median

From the graph, the weight that corresponds to a cumulative frequency of 30 is 58 kg.

∴ Median

(c) The cumulative frequency that corresponds to the upper quartile

From the graph, the weight that corresponds to a cumulative frequency of 45 is 62.5 kg.

∴ Upper quartile

(d) The cumulative frequency that corresponds to the 80th percentile

From the graph, the weight that corresponds to a cumulative frequency of 48 is 63.5 kg.

∴ The 80th percentile

Multiple Choice Questions

1. Answer: C

For 2.058, 0 is the second sig. fig.

2. Answer: B

25.4648 = 25.46 (cor. to 4 sig. fig.)

3. Answer: B


4. Answer: C

5. Answer: B

6. Answer: C

7. Answer: B

Lower limit of the actual length of the eraser

Upper limit of the actual length of the eraser

8. Answer: C

Lower limit of the actual weight of the box

Upper limit of the actual weight of the box

The actual weight of the box ranges between 1.045 kg and 1.055 kg.

∴ Only 1.0501 kg lies within this range.

The answer is C.

9. Answer: C

∠ACD = y (alt. Ðs, DC // AB)

∵ CE = CD

∴ ∠CED = 2y (base Ðs, isos. △)

Consider △CED.

(Ð sum of △)

10. Answer: D

(Ð sum of polygon)


11. Answer: B

Consider △ACF and △AEB.

ÐA = ÐA (common angle)

AF = AB (given)

AC = AE (given)

∴ △ACF △AEB (SAS)

12. Answer: A

∵ AB = BC = CA

∴ △ABC is an equilateral triangle

and ÐBAC = ÐABC = ÐACB = 60 °.

In △ACD,

ÐADC = ÐCAD = 50° (base Ðs, isos. △)

and (Ð sum of △)

In △BCD,

∵ ÐCBD = ÐCDB (base Ðs, isos. △)

13. Answer: D

14.  Answer: D

For choice A, the cumulative frequency that corresponds to the median

From the graph, the marks that corresponds to a cumulative frequency of 20 is 44.

∴ The median is 44 marks.

∴ Choice A is correct.

For choice B, the number of students who pass the examination

∴ Choice B is correct.


For choice C, the cumulative frequency that corresponds to the upper quartile

From the graph, the marks that corresponds to a cumulative frequency of 30 is 54.

∴ The upper quartile is 54 marks.

∴ Choice C is correct.

For choice D, the cumulative frequency corresponds to the lower quartile

From the graph, the marks that corresponds to a cumulative frequency of 10 is 24.

∴ The lower quartile is 24 marks.

∴ Choice D is wrong.
