Part 2. Essay problem. Answer the following 4 questions, and show your detailed solution in
the answer sheet. Each correct question is worth 18 points.

Area of the figure:

10 x 10 + 8 x 8 = 164 (cm2)
Area of triangle in the square 10 x 10
10 x (10 – 8) : 2 = 10 (cm2)
Area of the biggest triangle
( 10 + 8 ) x 10 : 2 = 90 +
Area of the shaded region:
164 – 10 – 90 = 64 (cm2)
Answer: 64 cm2

25
We have 3 situation:
−abc 0
 −abc 4

−abc 8

abc 0 : 4x3x1=12(ways)
abc 4 or abc 8: 3x3x1 = 9 (ways)
We have total:
9 + 9 + 12 = 30(ways)
Answer 30 ways

As we can see, the triangle in 4 and 5 have area:

2 x ( 4 + 4 ) : 2 = 8 (cm2)
 Area figure 1 and 3 are 8 cm2
Area of figure 5 is:
2 x 4 : 2 = 4 (cm2)
Area of number 1 = 4cm2
Area number 4 / 3 : 8 – 4 = 4 (cm2)
1
Ratio of region number 4 + 5 and 6 + 5 is 2 because
- Both the height is 8 (equal)
1
- The bottom 4 + 5 = 2 the bottom of 6 + 5

 6 + 5 and 4 + 5 both concur figure 5

4 : 2 = 8 (cm2)
 Figure 2 = 8 cm

The area of the square:
( 4 + 4 ) x ( 6 + 2 ) = 64 (cm2)
The area of the shaded region:
64 – 8 – 4 – 4 – 8 – 4 – 4 = 32 (cm2)
Answer: 32 cm2
