Answer:

9)  B. 8

10)   D. 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 9

For ease of visualization, label the different legs of the journey on the diagram (see attachment).

The journey needs to start and end at point A, go through points B and C (in any order), and not travel any road twice.

The different routes are:

• AB (u), BC (x), CA (w)
• AB (u), BC (y), CA (w)
• AB (u), BC (x), CA (z)
• AB (u), BC (y), CA (z)
• AC (w), CB (x), BA (u)
• AC (z), CB (x), BA (u)
• AC (w), CB (y), BA (u)
• AC (z), CB (y), BA (u)

Therefore, there are 8 different routes.

Question 10

Triangles EDC and EAB are similar since they have congruent angles:

• ∠EDC ≅ ∠EAB  (both right angles)
• ∠DEC ≅ ∠AEB  (vertical angle theorem)

Therefore, their corresponding sides are in proportion.

⇒ CD : BA = ED : EA

⇒ 9 : 3 = ED : EA

⇒ 3 : 1 = ED : EA

Since we know that AD = 4:

⇒ ED = 3

⇒ EA = 1

Area of a triangle

$\sf Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times base \times height$

To find the area of triangle AEC, subtract the area of triangle EDC from the area of triangle ADC.

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{Area of triangle AEC} & = \sf Area\:of\:\triangle ADC - Area\:of\:\triangle EDC\\& = \sf \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot CD \cdot AD-\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot CD \cdot ED\\& = \sf \dfrac{1}{2}(9)(4)-\dfrac{1}{2}(9)(3)\\& = \sf 18-13.4\\& = \sf 4.5\:\:units\:squared\end{aligned}$

Answer 2

Answer:

• Q9 - B) 8
• Q10 - D) 4.5

========================

Question 9

We have a diagram and need to find the number of routes without repeat paths:

• $ABCA$ or $ACBA$

We can see that there is one route from A to B, two routes from B to C and two routes from C to A. This is same on reverse order.

This gives us the number of routes:

• $ABCA = 1*2*2 = 4$

• $ACBA = 2*2*1 = 4$

Total number is:

• $4 + 4 = 8$

The matching answer choice is B

Question 10

From the given we can observe that:

ABC and DCE are similar triangles, since they have same angle at vertex E (vertical angles are equal) and both are right triangles.

From similarity we get same ratio of corresponding sides:

• $AE/DE = AB/CD = 3/9 = 1/3$

We can find areas of triangles ACD and ECD and subtract to get the area of triangle AEC:

• $S_{ACD} - S_{ECD} = S_{AEC}$

As per ratio of corresponding sides:

• $AE/DE = 1/3$

As per segment addition:

• $AE + DE = AD = 4$

From the two equations above we get:

• $DE = 3/4*AD = 3/4*4 = 3$

Now, the required area is:

• $S_{ACD} - S_{ECD} = 1/2(4*9) - 1/2(3*9) = 4.5$

This is matching the answer choice D
