b) The tangent to C at P meets the coordinate axes at the points Q and R. Show that the area of the triangle OQR, where O is the origin, is 9/(3-e)

If I were to get the job, I would get a writing board to help explain this. But to approach this question, it's a good idea to draw the graph. You know that the tangent line is a straight line and as the ...

A scalene triangle has base of 5cm. The angle opposite to the base is 63°, and a second angle is 72°. Find the area of the traingle

Using the sine rule it's possible to find the length opposite to the 72° angle. Therefore: 5/(sin63)=x/(sin72) x=5sin(72)/sin(63)=5.34 At this point, the third angle is needed. Since a triangle has a tota...
