1. Problem Description

Question 33: Yakubu's scores in five out of six subjects are 95, 87, 85, 93, and
9

4. If he requires an average score of 90 to get promoted, what must be the minimum score in the sixth subject?

Question 34: A right pyramid has a square base of side 10 cm. If the volume is 700 cm3cm^3, find the height.
Question 35: The bearing of F from G is 064°. What is the bearing of G from F?

2. Solution Steps

Question 33:
Let xx be the score in the sixth subject.
The average score of the six subjects is given by
95+87+85+93+94+x6\frac{95+87+85+93+94+x}{6}.
We want this average to be at least
9

0. So, we have the inequality:

95+87+85+93+94+x690\frac{95+87+85+93+94+x}{6} \ge 90.
95+87+85+93+94+x90×695+87+85+93+94+x \ge 90 \times 6.
454+x540454+x \ge 540.
x540454x \ge 540 - 454.
x86x \ge 86.
Therefore, the minimum score in the sixth subject is
8
6.
Question 34:
The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula
V=13×base_area×heightV = \frac{1}{3} \times base\_area \times height.
The base is a square with side 10 cm. So, the base area is 10×10=10010 \times 10 = 100 cm2cm^2.
The volume is given as 700 cm3cm^3.
Let hh be the height. Then,
700=13×100×h700 = \frac{1}{3} \times 100 \times h.
700=100h3700 = \frac{100h}{3}.
2100=100h2100 = 100h.
h=2100100h = \frac{2100}{100}.
h=21h = 21 cm.
Therefore, the height of the pyramid is 21 cm.
Question 35:
The bearing of F from G is 064°. This means that if you are standing at G and facing North, you need to rotate 64° clockwise to face F.
The bearing of G from F is the angle measured clockwise from North at F to G.
The difference between the bearings is 180°. Since 064° is less than 180°, we add 180° to 064°.
Bearing of G from F = 064° + 180° = 244°.
Therefore, the bearing of G from F is 244°.

3. Final Answer

Question 33: A. 86
Question 34: B. 21 cm
Question 35: C. 244°
