SIMPLE EQUATIONS WITH FRACTIONS

Equations such as e.t.c are equations involving fractions.

To solve any of these equations, we consider the L.C.M of the denominators and multiply each term of the equation by the L.C.M to clear the fractions and solve the equation as usual.

Example 1

Solve the equation:

Solution

The denominators of the fractions in this equation are; 5 and 2.

L.C.M of 5 and 2 is 10.

We multiply through by this L.C.M. i.e) = 2 = 20 – 5

Opening brackets we have,

2 8 = 20 – 5

Collecting like terms we have,

5 + 2 = 20 +8

7 = 28.

Thus, = = 4

Example 2

Solve +

Solution

The denominators are 3, 5 and 15.

Their L.C.M is 30

Thus, 30 x + 30 x

• 10 x + 6 x 4 = 2 x 17
• + 24 = 34

vi. Three-fifth of the difference between four and

Example 4

A fisherman had 30 fish in his net. He ate some of them and discovered that there are 19 fish left. How many did he eat?

Solution

Total number of fish in the net = 30.

Let number of fish eaten =

Number of fish left in the net = 19

Hence, 30 = 19

Or = 30 – 19 = 11. Hence the man ate 11 fish

Example 5

The sum of the ages of a man and his son is 56 years. In 8 years time, the ratio of their ages will be 13:5. (a) How old are they now (b) find the difference between their ages.

Solution

(a) Let the age of the man be years.

Therefore the son’s age will be (56 – ) years.

In 8 years time, their ages will be(8 + ) years (man)

and (8 +56 – m) years (son).

The ratio of their ages at this time is 13:5.

Hence,[mediator_tech][mediator_tech]

Cross multiplying,

we have 5(8 + m) = 13( 64 – m)

Opening brackets,

40 + 5m = 832 – 13m

Collecting like terms,

5m + 13m = 832 – 40

18m = 792

Hence, the man’s age is 44 years and the son’s age is 56 – 44 = 12 years.

(b)The difference between their ages is 44 – 12 = 32

Example 6

When a certain number is subtracted from 56 and the result divided by 5, it is the same as if 14 is added to the number and the result divided by 2. Find the number

Solution

Let the number be n

The number subtracted from 56 is 56 – n

The result divided by 5 is

14 added to the number is n + 14

The result divided by 2 is

Hence, according to the given information,

Cross multiplying, we have,

Opening brackets,

112 – 2n = 5n + 70

Collecting like terms,

2n – 5n = 70 – 112

n =

n = 14

SUB TOPIC: GRAPHICAL METHOD OF SOLVING SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS

This method involves creating tables of values for both variables or unknowns. is usually made the subject of the formula and referred to as the dependent variable while is the independent variable. Simple values can be assigned to in order to determine the corresponding values of . Although two plotted points are enough to draw the lines of both equations, it is advisable to plot at least three points. After plotting, the points are expected to lie on the same straight line for both equations. The lines should intersect at a point or this can be achieved by extending one or both lines with a ruler. The point of intersection of the lines gives the solutions of the simultaneous equations. If the lines are parallel, it means the simultaneous equations have no solution.

NOTE: Educator should guide the students on the choice of simple and reasonable scales for plotting the points.

TOPIC: SIMILAR FIGURES AND ENLARGEMENT

CONTENT:

i. Concept of similar figures

ii. Examples of similar figures

iii. Enlargement and scale factor

SUB TOPIC: CONCEPT OF SIMILAR FIGURES

Two figures are similar, if they look alike and one is an enlargement or reduction of the other. Mathematically, if two shapes are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides should be constant.

EXAMPLES OF SIMILAR FIGURES

1. Similar photographs (b) Similar cylinders

(c) Similar Cuboids

Look at the two photographs in (a) above. Although the two photographs are not of the same size, they look alike. The same applies to (b) and (c).We say that the pictures in (a), (b) and (c) are similar to each other.

ENLARGEMENT AND SCALE FACTOR

The photograph in fig. a above is enlarged such that the sides are proportional. In this case, the ratio of the corresponding sides will be constant. Look at the example below.

Example 1

(a) Measure the length and breadth of the picture in fig. (a)

(b) Find the ratio length : breadth

(c) What do you notice?

Solution

(a) Length = 2cm, Breadth = 4cm (smaller picture)

Length = 2.4cm Breadth = 4.8cm (larger picture)

(b) Length :breadth = 4 : 2 = 4/2 = 2 (smaller picture)

Length : breadth = 4.8 : 2.4 = 4.8/2.4 = 2 (larger picture)

(c) The ratio of length to breadth for each picture is 2

Length : breadth is constant for both pictures in (a) this means that the first picture is an enlargement of the second picture. Hence when a shape is reduced or enlarged to give another shape such that the ratio of their corresponding sides are the same, we say, the two shapes are similar mathematically. This ratio is what we call the scale factor. The scale factor for the pictures in (a) is 2[mediator_tech][mediator_tech]

Example 2

Consider the shapes below and indicate whether they are similar or not

A

B C

P

Q R

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Solution

If the two shapes are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides should be equal. i.e

Considering Fig. 1,

AB = 3.2cm

BC = 2.9cm

AC = 4.3cm

Similarly, in fig. 2,

PQ = 2.4cm

QR = 1.8cm

PR = 3.0cm

From the above calculations, it is clear that the ratios of the corresponding sides are not equal i.e. We therefore conclude that the two triangles are not similar.

NOTE:Educator should print out the above example( fig.1 and fig. 2), make a copy available to students and instruct them to carry out the measurements. Do not temper with the dimension of the shapes. The students should not carry out the measurement directly on the screen of their laptops. The diagrams in the evaluation question below should also be printed out for the students.

ORAL QUESTIONS.

i. Two figures are similar, if one is a reduction of the other

ii. Two figures are not similar, if one is an enlargement of the other

iii. All isosceles triangles are similar

iv. All cuboids are similar

v. All pictures or images in the television are similar to the original bodies

vi All cubes are similar

2. whose cosine is 0.4478,
3. whose sin is 0.649 2,
4. whose cosine is 0.568 2,[mediator_tech][mediator_tech]

Solution

1. Let the angle be A, then sin A = .

Express as a decimal fraction correct to 4 d.p.

. = 0.285 7

Sin A = 0.285 7

Looking within the sine table entries,

0.2857 is opposite 16⁰ and under 0.6⁰.

Thus, A = 16.6⁰.

1. Let the angle be B, then cos B = 0.4478.

Looking within the cosine table entries,

0.447 8 is opposite 63⁰ and under 0.4.

Thus, B = 63.4⁰.

1. Let the angle be x, then sin x = 0.649 2.

Looking within the sin table entries, the nearest value to 0.649 2 is 0.648 1. 0.648 1 is opposite 40⁰ and under 0.4⁰.

The difference between 6 492 and 6 481 is 11. Look for 11 in the difference column along the row of 40⁰. 11 is under 8.

Thus, x = 40.40⁰ + 0.08⁰

X = 40.48⁰

1. Let the angle be y, then cos y = 0.568 2.

Looking within the cosine table entries, the nearest value to 0.568 2 is 0.567 8. 0.567 8 is opposite 55⁰ and under 0.4⁰. The difference between 5 682 and 5 678is 4. Look for 4 in the difference column along the row of 55⁰.4 is under 3. As the angles increase, their cosines decrease, therefore subtract the difference.

Thus, y = 55.40⁰ – 0.03⁰

Y = 55.37⁰

iii. Area of circles and sectors

iv. Land measure

SUB – TOPIC 1. AREA OF BASIC SHAPES

The formulae for areas of some basic shapes are given in below. These were previously found in book 1, Chapter 14.

1. Area of rectangle = length x breadth = ( l x b )
2. Area of trapezium = of ( sum of parallel sides ) x height = = ( a + b )h
3. Area of parallelogram = base x height = b x h
4. Area of circle = π
5. Area of triangle = x product of sides containing the right angle.

Examples:

1. Find the area of a triangle with base 15 cm and height 9 cm.

Solution

Area of triangle = base x height

= x 15 x 9

= 67.5 cm²

1. If the area of the trapezium below is 40 cm², find the value of x.

cm

6 cm

8 cm

Solution

Area of trapezium = ½ ( + 8 ) x 6 cm²

= 3( + 8) cm²

Thus, 3( + 8) = 40 ½

8 = 40 ½ ÷ 3 = 13 ½

= 13 ½ – 8 = 5 ½

1. What is the diameter of a circle of area 3 850 m²?

B C

34⁰ D

7 cm

In ∆ABD, = sin 34°

x = 6 sin 34°

= 6 x 0.5592

= 3.355 2

Area of ∆ABC = x BC x AD

= x 7 x 3.355 2 cm²

= x 23.486 4 cm²

=11.743 2 cm²

= 12 cm² to the nearest cm².

1. Find the area of the isosceles trapezium shown in the diagram below.

P 10 cm Q

6 cm 6 cm

35° 35°

S M N R

Solution

From the diagram, SP = SM + MN + NR

PQ = MN = 10 cm and PS = QR. ( given )

Also, SM = NR (∆ PSM ≡∆QRN )

Now in ∆ SPM, the complement of 35° is 55°.

Using tan ratio:

tan 55° =

∴ SM = 6 tan 55°

= 6 x 1.428 = 8.569 cm.

So, SM = NR =8.569 cm

∴ SR = 8.569 + 10 + 8.569 = 27.138 cm

Area of trapezium PQRS = ( PQ + SR )h

= ( 10 + 27.138 ) x 6

= 3 x 37.138

= 111.414 cm²

Area of trapezium = 110 cm² to 2 s.f.

S 6 cm R D

Solution

Let QD be cm.

In ∆QRD, QD = 180° – 118° = 62°

= sin 62°

= 5 sin 62°

= 5 x 0.8829

= 4.414 5

Area of PQRS = SR x QD

= 6 x 4.414 5 cm²

= 26.487 cm²

= 26 cm2 to the nearest cm².

SUB – TOPIC 4: LAND MEASURE

The hectare (ha) is a unit of area which is primarily used in the measurement of land. We can picture an hectare as the area about two times the size of a football pitch.

i.e, 1 hectare = 199 m x 100 m = 10 00 m².

Recall that 1 km² 1000 m x 1000 m = 106 m².

So there are 100 hectares in a km².

i.e 1 km² = 100 hectares

or 1 hectare = 0.01 km².

Examples

1. A village is roughly in the shape of a circle of diameter 400 m. Use the value 3 for π to find the approximate area of the village in hectares.

Solution

Radius of village = = of 400 m = 200 m

Area of village ≈π x 200² m²

≈ 3 x 40 000 m²

≈ 3 x 4 hectares

≈ 12 hectares

The area of the village is about 12 ha.

1. The diagram bellow shows a plot of land in the shape of a kite. Calculate the area of the land, giving your answer in hectares.

90 m

75 m

Solution

Recall that the diagonals of a kite bisect each other at right angles.

Area of a kite = of the product of the diagonals

= x 90 x 75 = 3375 m²

Now 10 000 m² = 1ha

3375 m² = x 3375 ha

= 0.3375 ha

EVALUATION
