Task 1: Knowledge and understanding (25 marks) Show all work for each question.
1. Convert each measure. (4 marks)
a) 8 ft. 6 in. to the nearest centimetre.
12in= 1ft
8ft x 12= 96 in
8ft= 96 in
8ft. 6 in = 96 in +6 in = 102 in
1 in = 2.54cm
102 in => 102 in X 2.54 = 259.08 cm
∴
259 cm

11. A room in the shape of a rectangular prism measuring 3.5 m wide by 4.2 m long by 2.4 m
high is to be painted. All surfaces except the floor are to be painted. How many square metrs
of surface are to be painted, rounded to one decimal place? (4 marks)
Width ( w) = 3.5m,
Length (L) = 4.2 m,
Height( H) =2.4m

b) What dimensions would you use to minimize the costs of making the box? Explain. (2 marks)
To minimize the cost of making the box, you typically want to minimize the
surface area, as this is directly related to the amount of material used. The
cost of making the box is often proportional to the surface are. choose the
dimensions with the minimum surface area. Looking at the table, we can see
that when:
the length is 3, the width is 4, and the height is 2 or,
the length is 4, the width is 3, and the height is 2
The surface area is the smallest (52 m²).
Therefore, to minimize the costs of making the box, use dimensions of:
length 6 meters, width 2 meters, and height 2 meters or,
length 4 meters, width 3 meters, and height 2 meters.
Task 3: Communication (25 marks)
Show all work for each question.
13. Define the following terms. (5 marks)
a) Obtuse Angle
An obtuse angle is a type of angle that is always larger than 90° but less than 180°. In other
words, it lies between 90° and 180°.
b) Oblique Triangle
An oblique triangle is any triangle that is not a right triangle. It could be an acute triangle (all
three angles of the triangle are less than right angles) or it could be an obtuse triangle (one of
the three angles is greater than a right angle).
c) Angle of Elevation
The angle of elevation is an angle that is formed between the horizontal line and the line of
sight. If the line of sight is upward from the horizontal line, then the angle formed is an angle of
elevation.
d) Angle of Depression
An angle of Depression is the angle created when an observer is looking at an object which is
below the horizontal. The angle between the horizontal and the observer's line of sight is called
angle of depression.
e) SOHCAHTOA
SOHCAHTOA is a mnemonic device helpful for remembering what ratio goes with which
function. SOH = Sine is Opposite over Hypotenuse. CAH = Cosine is Adjacent over Hypotenuse.
TOA = Tangent is Opposite over Adjacent. They are often shortened to sin, cos and tan.

14. What is the effect on the perimeter of a rectangle if the dimensions of the rectangle are
doubled? What is the effect on the area if the dimensions are doubled? (3 marks)
Assuming the sides of the rectangle as a, b now as given in the question the sides are doubled
the sides of the rectangle become 2a,2b.
The area of the rectangle of sides a, b is a x b=ab.
The area of the rectangle with sides doubled =2ax2b=4ab.
So the area of the rectangle with the sides doubled is 4times its previous area.
From the comparison of the above two areas we can conclude that If the sides of the rectangle
is done x times then the area would be x2(x square) times of its original area.

17. The promotion manager of a new band is deciding how much to charge for concert tickets.
She has calculated that if tickets are $28 each, then 220 people will come to the concert. For
every $1 increase in price, however, 10 fewer people come. (11 marks)
Complete the table to investigate the ticket price if the goal is to maximize the revenue.

$ 22 x 280 = $ 6160

$24 x 260 = $ 6240

$28
220
$28 x 220 = $6160
$29
210
$29 x 210 = $6090
Conclusion: The maximum revenue of $ ____6250__ occurs when the ticket price is $ _25___.
As we can see from bottom price reduced by $1 like 29, 28,27 therefore for
next column price will be $26, 25,24, 23, 22. Similarly,
every $1 increase in price, 10
fewer people come. Therefore, number of people from bottom will be 210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270,
280.
So, the maximum revenue is $ 6250. We can see column 5 where 25 x 250 =$ 6250.

, can this air conditioner
cool the house sufficiently? (5 marks)
Volume of total shape = volume of cuboid + volume of prism.

19. A furnace manufacturer wants to know how much of the metal surface area is giving off
heat in this design. The metal box is cube-shaped (all sides equal) with sides measuring 40 in.
The circular metal vent is 30 in tall with a diameter of 8 in. Calculate the surface area giving
off heat, excluding the cube’s base and the bottom and top of the vent tube. (Hint: You must
also subtract the area of the circle where the vent connects to the cube.) (5 marks)
Surface given off heat = curved surface area of vent + lateral surface of the cube + top surface
of cube
Curved surface area of vent
