A right-angle triangle has three sides (diagram would be included). Side A = 3cm; Side B = 7cm. What is the length of Side C (the hypotenuse)? Give your answer to 2 d.p.

Using Pythagoras' Theorem --> a 2 + b 2 = c 2 (or c = SqRT(a 2 + b 2 )) where c is the hypotenuse.Substitute a = 3; b = 7. So: 3 2 + 7 2 = c 2 9 + 49 = 58. SqRt(58) = 7.62. Side C = 7.62 cm

In a chess club there are x boys and y girls. If ten more boys join and one more girl joins, there is an equal amount of boys and girls. Knowing that y = 2x+2, Calculate x and y. [4 marks]

There are x boys and y girls. So x = boys, y = girls. Ten boys join so x + 10 = boys, one girl joins so y + 1 = girls. These values are said to be equal, so we construct an equation with x and y. x + 10 = y ...
