Answer: D
The hypotenuse is the longest side so it must be x/2
By Pythagoras’ Theorem, if the third side is s, then (x/2)2 = (x/3)2 + s2
(x2/4) – (x2/9) = s2
s2 = 5x2/36
s= √5x/6
x
-x
Answer: B
Set the quadratic equal to zero: x2 + 11x + 28 = 0.
We factorize it: (x + 4)(x + 7) = 0.
There are two solutions:
EITHER (x + 3) = 0 and x = –3
OR (x + 4) = 0 and x = –4
Since both solutions are negative, x < 0 and –x > 0.
Answer: D
A square with perimeter P has sides of length P/4 Area = P2/16
A square with perimeter 2P has sides of length P/2 Area = P2/4
Difference: P2/4 – P2/16 = 3P2/16
Answer: C
Betty is 10 years older than Jenny: b = j + 10
In 3 years, Betty will be double Jenny’s age: b + 3 = 2(j + 3)
But, j = b – 10
So, b + 3 = 2(b – 10 + 3)
b + 3 = 2b – 14
17 = b
In 5 years, Betty will be 22.
