A triangular wall needs to be painted. The triangle is an equilateral triangle with 35 metre sides and the height of the wall is 30 metres. Nina wants to make a gold border around the wall. What is the length of the gold border that is needed?

Answer explanation

An equilateral triangle means that all 3 sides are equal. This means you need to add up all 3 sides to get the length of the gold border.

The garden has two sections: a triangle section for vegetables and a circular section for flowers, with the rest grass. The vegetables section is a right-angle with sides of 3.45m and 2.1m. The flower section is 5.7m from one side to the other. What is the total area of each section of the garden? If grass seed costs $1.77/m², how much will it cost to buy enough seed for the grass area?

OFF

Answer explanation

Vegetable Section (Triangle)

Area of triangle = (base × height) ÷ 2

Area = (3.45 × 2.1) ÷ 2 = 3.6225 m²

Flower Section (Circle)

Area of circle = π × r²

Where r is the radius (half the diameter) - Radius = 5.7 ÷ 2 = 2.85m

Area = π × 2.85² ≈ 25.5173 m²

Grass Section

subtract vegetable and flower areas from the total garden area.

TOTAL GARDEN AREA: 52.46m² (8.6 x 6.1)

VEGETABLE & FLOWER GARDENS:

3.6225 m² + 25.5173 m² = 29.1398m²

GRASS AREA = 52.46 - 29.1398 = 23.32m²

Grass Seed Cost = Grass area × Price per m²

         = 23.32m² × $1.77/m²  = 41.2764

         = $41.30

For a school event, circular pizzas with a radius of 12cm are ordered. If each student should get 50cm² of pizza, how many students can one pizza feed?

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

Area of pizza = πr² = π × 12² =  452.39 cm²

Number of students = 452.39  ÷ 50 ≈ 9.05

= 9 students

In Hobbiton, hobbit houses have circular windows. A hobbit needs to replace a window which has a circumference of 4.8 metres. What is the area of the window?

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

We need to find the radius first using the circumference formula: 

C = 2πr

4.8 = 2πr

4.8 = 2 × 3.14 × r

 r = 4.8 ÷ (2 × 3.14) 

 r = 0.764 metres

Calculate the area

A = πr²

A  = 3.14 × (0.764)²

       = 3.14 × 0.584 

The school is painting a mural on a wall shaped like a trapezium. The parallel sides of the wall are 8 metres and 12 metres long, and the height between them is 5 metres. How much paint will they need if 1L covers 10 square metres?

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

Area of trapezium

= ½(a+b)h

= ½(8+12) × 5

= 50m²

Paint needed

= 50 ÷ 10

Hemi is creating a Maori-inspired artwork on a circular canvas. The outer edge of the canvas has a circumference of 188.4cm. He leaves a 5cm border around the edge unpainted. What is the area of the painted region?

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

Radius of canvas

= Circumference ÷ (2π) = 188.4 ÷ (2π) = 30 cm

Area of canvas

= πr² = π × 30² ≈ 2827.43 cm²

Radius of painted area

= 30 - 5 = 25 cm

Area of painted region

= π × 25² ≈ 1963.5 cm²

A church is commissioning a circular stained glass window with a smaller circular design in its centre. The outer circle has a radius of 2.4 metres, while the inner circle has an area that is 1/9 of the total window area. What is the radius of the inner circle?

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

Area of outer circle

= πr² = π(2.4)² = 18.1 m² (rounded to one dp)

Area of inner circle

=The inner circle's area is 1/9 of the total area

   =  18.1 ÷ 9 = 2.01 m²

use the area formula for a circle to find the radius of the inner circle:

   2.01 = πr²

   r² = 2.01 ÷ π

   r = √(2.01 ÷ π) ≈ 0.8 m
