Multiple choice mathematics and statistics angle and its measurement directed angles

In $\Delta ABC$, O is the ethnocentric and $\angle BOC$ $=$ 2$\angle A,$ then the  measure of $\angle BOC$ is equal to

  1. $120^{\circ}$
  2. $100^{\circ}$
  3. $80^{\circ}$
  4. $60^{\circ}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Since, O is ethocentric,
$\angle BOC +\angle A = 180$
$3 \angle A = 180$
$\angle A = 60$

Therefore, $\angle BOC = 120^{\circ}$

Multiple choice mathematics and statistics angle and its measurement directed angles

The measure of exterior angle is $40^o$. Find number of side.

  1. $7$
  2. $8$
  3. $9$
  4. $10$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The sum of exterior angles of any convex polygon is 360 degrees. For a regular polygon, each exterior angle is 360/n. Here, 360/n = 40, so n = 360/40 = 9.

Multiple choice mathematics and statistics angle and its measurement directed angles

The equation to the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining (5,7) (3,1) is 

  1. $3x+y =16$
  2. $x - 3y =12$
  3. $x+ 3y =16$
  4. $3x - y =12$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Here, $A=(5,7)$ and $B=(3,1)$


Here, $x _1=5,y _1=7,x _2=3$ and $y _2=1$


$\Rightarrow$  Mid-point of $A$ and $B=$ $\left(\dfrac{x _1+x _2}{2},\dfrac{y _1+y _2}{2}\right)$

                                            $=\left(\dfrac{5+3}{2},\dfrac{7+1}{2}\right)$

                                            $=\left(4,4\right)$

$\Rightarrow$  Slope of $AB\,(m)=\dfrac{1-7}{3-5}=\dfrac{-6}{-2}=3$

$\Rightarrow$  Slope of the perpendicular $(m _1)$ $=\dfrac{-1}{m}=\dfrac{-1}{3}$

The perpendicular passes through $(4,4)$.

The equation is,
$\Rightarrow$  $y-4=\dfrac{-1}{3}(x-4)$

$\Rightarrow$  $3y-12=-x+4$

$\Rightarrow$  $x+3y=16$
