B Correct answer
Explanation

Let the coordinates of the third vertex be (x,y). Applying the Pythagoras theorem in the right angled triangle, we get 8 = (x-2)2 + y2 + x2 + (y-2)2 8 = x2+4-4x+y2+x2+y2+4-4y Cancelling 8, we get x2+y2-2x-2y=0 (Correct Answer)

Multiple choice
  1. 110o

  2. 140o

  3. 175o

  4. 200o

B Correct answer
Explanation

The gonial is very high in children: 130o in fetus and 140o at birth, and it progressively decreases in the growth period.

Multiple choice
  1. 550

  2. 600

  3. 900

  4. None of these

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

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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
  1. 180 degrees from

  2. 0 degrees to

  3. 180 degrees to

  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.

Multiple choice
  1. ASI

  2. VSI

  3. DG

  4. AI

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

The attitude indicator (AI) or artificial horizon shows the aircraft's orientation relative to the earth's horizon, including both pitch (nose up/down) and bank (angle of roll) information. The instrument display directly indicates the angle of bank through the relationship between the miniature aircraft and the horizon bar. ASI shows airspeed, VSI shows vertical speed, and DG shows heading - none of these display bank angle.

Multiple choice
  1. 50°

  2. 40°

  3. 60°

  4. 45°

  5. None of these

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

Largest angle of quadrilateral = (360o x 6) / 18 = 120o   Largest angle of triangle = (120o x 5) / 6 – 30o = 70o  Second largest angle of quadrilateral = (360o x 5)/18 = 100o  Second angle = (100o x 3) / 5 = 60o  Third angle of triangle = 180o - (70o + 60o) = 180o – 130o = 50o 

Multiple choice
  1. isosceles triangle

  2. scalene triangle

  3. equilateral triangle

  4. obtuse angled triangle

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

A scalene triangle has three unequal sides and three unequal angles. An isosceles triangle has at least two equal sides. An equilateral triangle has all three sides equal. An obtuse-angled triangle has one angle greater than 90 degrees but may have equal or unequal sides.

Explanation

In LOGO turtle graphics, the turtle is represented as a small triangle. The pointed tip is called the nose, and the flat base opposite the nose is referred to as the back.
