A Correct answer
Explanation

A triangle with sides 3, 4, and 5 satisfies the Pythagorean theorem: 5^2 = 25 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25. This makes it a right-angled triangle. It's not equilateral (all sides equal), not isosceles (two sides equal), and not scalene (all sides different - though technically it is scalene too, but the right angle is the defining property).

D Correct answer
Explanation

A triangle with angles 45°, 45°, 90° has two equal angles, making it isosceles. Since one angle is 90°, it's also right-angled. Combining these properties gives a right-angled isosceles triangle.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The Whitworth thread form, developed by Joseph Whitworth, uses a 55° thread angle with rounded crests and roots, differing from the more common 60° metric thread. This British standard thread was widely used in historical engineering applications.

Multiple choice
  1. 90 degree

  2. 180 degree

  3. 360 degree

  4. 60 degree

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

An equilateral triangle has three equal sides and three equal angles. Since the sum of angles in any triangle is 180 degrees, each angle in an equilateral triangle measures 180/3 = 60 degrees.

Multiple choice
  1. 90 degree

  2. 180 degree

  3. 360 degree

  4. 120 degree

B Correct answer
Explanation

The sum of interior angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees. This is a fundamental theorem in geometry that applies to all triangles - whether equilateral, isosceles, or scalene.

Multiple choice
  1. 1 degree

  2. 2.5 degrees

  3. 3 degrees

  4. 4.5 degrees

B Correct answer
Explanation

In a standard 4-dot Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) used with VOR/ILS navigation, each dot represents 2.5 degrees of deviation from the selected course. Full deflection (4 dots) indicates 10 degrees off-course, providing pilots with precise lateral guidance information.

Multiple choice
  1. 2 degrees

  2. 3 degrees

  3. 4 degrees

  4. none of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

On a standard 5-dot CDI used with VOR/ILS, each dot represents 2 degrees of course deviation. This sensitivity allows pilots to track courses precisely - full-scale deflection (5 dots) indicates 10 degrees off course, which is the typical VOR/ILS full-scale indication.

Multiple choice

  4. none of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

When testing a VOR receiver using a VOT (VOR Test Facility), the correct indication is 180 degrees TO (with the flag showing TO). This is because VOTs transmit on all radials simultaneously, and the CDI interprets this as flying away from the station, resulting in the 180° TO indication.
