IGCSE Mathematics Paper-1: Specimen Questions with Answers 159 - 161 of 324
Question 159
Explanation
Here,
(a) A perimeter can find by adding the length of all shapes or boundaries.
So, here, perimeter =
Where, AB = 18 cm, BC = 14 cm, CD = 12 cm, DA = 14 cm.
So, Perimeter =
(b) Area of Trapezoid ABCD = , where, a and b = two parallel sides, h = height.
So, here, a = 12 cm, b = 18 cm and h = 12 cm.
So, Area A =
Question 160
Explanation
Here,
(a) A perimeter can find by adding the length of all shapes or boundaries.
So, here, perimeter =
Where, AB = 10 cm, BC = 22 cm, CD = 10 – 6 = 4 cm, DE = 22 – 14 = 8 cm, EF = 6 cm, FA = 14 cm.
So, Perimeter =
(b) Area of ABCDEF = Area of ABGF (rectangle) + Area of EGCD (rectangle)
So, area of ABGF =
Now, area of EGCD =
So, .
Question 161
Describe in Detail Subjective▾
There is a sale of 60% discount on a shop of clothes. Vicky bought shirts of in this sale.
(a) How much did Vicky paid?
(b) The next day, all items were sold at 70% of the original price. How much more would Vicky have saved if he had waited until the next day to buy the shirts?
