THE ANGLES AT 3 VERTICES OF A
PENTAGON ARE 60, 80 AND 100.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING
COULD NOT BE THE MEASURES
OF THE OTHER 2 ANGLES?

a. 150,150
b. 160,140
c. 140,150
d. 85, 215
GIVEN :
𝑛 = 5 SIDES
𝜽𝟏 = 𝟔𝟎
𝜽𝟐 = 𝟖𝟎
𝜽𝟑 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎
FORMULA :
σ 𝜽 = 𝟏𝟖𝟎 𝒏 − 𝟐
REMAINING ANGLES = σ 𝜽 − 𝜽𝑻
SOLUTION :
THE SUM OF THE ANGLES IN A
POLYGON IS :
σ 𝜽 = 𝟏𝟖𝟎 𝟓 − 𝟐
σ 𝜽 = 𝟓𝟒𝟎°

THE SUM OF THE 3 ANGLES :

𝜽𝑻 = 𝟔𝟎 + 𝟖𝟎 + 𝟏𝟎𝟎
𝜽𝑻 = 𝟐𝟒𝟎
FOR A PENTAGON, THIS EQUALS 𝟓𝟒𝟎°
SINCE THE FIRST 3 ANGLES ADD UP TO
240, THE REMAINING 2 ANGLES MUST ADD
UP TO :
REMAINING ANGLES = σ 𝜽 − 𝜽𝑻
𝟓𝟒𝟎° – 𝟐𝟒𝟎° = 𝟑𝟎𝟎°

THEREFORE, THE ANSWER IS :

140,150
ADD FOUR INTERIOR ANGLES IN A
REGULAR PENTAGON. WHAT IS
THE RESULT?

A. 432°
B. 300°
C. 285°
D. 186°
GIVEN :
𝑛 = 5 SIDES

FORMULA :
σ 𝜽 = 𝟏𝟖𝟎 𝒏 − 𝟐
SOLUTION :
THE SUM OF THE ANGLES IN A POLYGON IS
:
σ 𝜽 = 𝟏𝟖𝟎 𝟓 − 𝟐
σ 𝜽 = 𝟓𝟒𝟎°

DIVIDE THIS NUMBER BY 5, SINCE

THERE ARE FIVE INTERIOR ANGLES
FOR PENTAGON :
σ𝜽 𝟓𝟒𝟎°
𝜽= = = 𝟏𝟎𝟖°

IF B = 360°, SOLVE SIN 𝑩 − 𝑨 .

A. COS B
B. -COS A
C. -SIN A
D. -SIN B
GIVEN :
B = 360°

FORMULA :
SIN 𝐵 − 𝐴 = 𝑆𝐼𝑁𝐵 𝐶𝑂𝑆𝐴 − 𝑆𝐼𝑁𝐴 𝐶𝑂𝑆𝐵
SOLUTION :
SIN 𝟑𝟔𝟎 − 𝑨 =
𝑺𝑰𝑵 𝟑𝟔𝟎 𝑪𝑶𝑺 𝑨 − 𝑺𝑰𝑵 𝑨 𝑪𝑶𝑺 𝟑𝟔𝟎
USING CALCULATOR :
𝑺𝑰𝑵 𝟑𝟔𝟎 = 𝟎
𝑪𝑶𝑺 𝟑𝟔𝟎 = 𝟏
SUBTITUTE THE VALUE OF SIN A
AND COS A :
SIN 𝟑𝟔𝟎 − 𝑨 = 𝟎 𝑪𝑶𝑺 𝑨 − 𝑺𝑰𝑵 𝑨 𝟏

A GOLDSMITH HAS THREE ALLOYS OF
GOLD. FIRST, BEING 72% PURE, AND
THE SECOND ONE IS 62% PURE. HOW
MANY OUNCES OF THE 62% PURE GOLD
MUST BE USED TO MAKE 100 OUNCES
OF AN ALLOY WHICH WILL BE 62%
GOLD?

A. 120 OUNCES
B. 100 OUNCES
C. 60 OUNCES
D. 20 OUNCES
GIVEN :
𝐺𝑜𝑙𝑑1 = 72%
𝐺𝑜𝑙𝑑2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 3 = 62%

FORMULA :
𝐺𝑜𝑙𝑑1 100 − 𝑥 + 𝐺𝑜𝑙𝑑2 𝑥 = 𝐺𝑜𝑙𝑑2 100
SOLUTION :
0.72 100 − 𝑥 + 0.62 𝑥 = 0.62 100
72 − 0.72𝑥 + 0.62 𝑥 = 62
