TOPIC:TANGENTS FROM AN EXTERNAL POINT

Theorem:

The tangents to a circle from an external point are equal.

Given: a point T outside a circle, centre O, TA and TB are tangents to the circle at A and B.

To prove: |TA| = |TB|

Construction: Join OA, OB and OT

In ∆s OAT and OBT

OAT = OBT = 90⁰ (radius tangent)

|OA| = |OB| (radii)

|OT| = |OT| (common side)

∆OAT = ∆OBT (RHS)

|TA| = |TB|

Note that between the tangents and the angle between the radii drawn to the points of contact of the tangents.

Example:

1.In the figure below O is the centre of the circle and the TA and TB are tangents if 0, calculate < TBX

In ∆TAX

AXT = 90⁰ (Symmetry)

TAX = 180 – (90⁰ + 39⁰) sum of angles of ()

180⁰ – 129⁰ = 51⁰

TBX = 51⁰ (symmetry)

OR

∆ ATB is an Isosceles triangle

|AT| =|BT| (tangents from external point)

0 (symmetry)

< ATB = 2(39) = 78⁰

2TBX = 180⁰ – 78⁰ (sum of angle in a

2 TBX = 102⁰

TBX= 102⁰  

2

TBX = 51⁰

2.PQR are three points on a circle Centre O. The tangent at P and Q meet at T. If < PTQ = 62⁰ calculate PRQ.

Solution

Join OP and OQ

In quadrilateral TQOP

0 (radius 1 tangent)

POQ = 360⁰ – (90⁰ + 90⁰ + 62⁰) sum of angle in a quadrilateral)

POQ = 360⁰ – 242⁰

POQ = 118⁰

PRQ = 118⁰ = 59⁰ (2x angle at circumference = angle at centre)

  2

PR¹QR is a cyclic quadrilateral

R + R¹ = 180⁰ (opp. angles of a cyclic quadrilateral )

R¹ = 180⁰ – R

R¹ = 180⁰ – 59⁰

R1 = 121⁰

PRQ = 59⁰ or 121⁰

Sine Rule for Acute and Obtuse Angled Triangle.

Consideration is given to other triangles than a right angled triangle. The angles of any triangle are denoted by capital letters such as; A, B, C, while the sides are represented by small letters; a, b, c, respectively.

A

c b

B a C

Acute Triangle: This is a type of triangle in which the angles are less than 90⁰.

Obtuse Triangle: Is a type of triangle in which one of the angles is more than 90⁰ but less than 180⁰.

Deductive Proof of Sine Rule

The sine rule is the same for acute and obtuse angled triangle.

Given: Any triangle ABC (acute-angled or obtuse-angled triangle).

A

c b

B a C

To prove: a = b = c

Sin A SinB Sin C

Construction: Draw a perpendicular A to BC ( produced, if necessary)

Proof:

Sin B = h ……………………………………(1)

c

In fig. 7.10 a)

. Sin C = h ……………………………………..(2)

b

In fig.7.10 b)

Sin(180⁰ – C ) = h

b

Hence, Sin C = h [sin(180 – Ɵ ) = sin Ɵ] ……………(2)

b

From (1) h = c SinB

From(2) h = b Sin C

Hence, cSinB=bSinC

b = c

SinB SinC

Example

In triangle ABC, A= 38⁰, B = 27⁰, and b = 17cm. find a and c.

Solution;

Using sine rule; Sin A = Sin B

a b

A

sin 38⁰ = sin 27^{0   38}

a 17

a = 17 sin 38⁰

sin 27⁰

a = 23cm C B

To find c; Angle C must be known; A + B + C = 180⁰

C = 180⁰ – 38⁰ – 27⁰ , C = 115⁰

Sin B = Sin C

b c

sin 27⁰ = sin 115⁰ , c = 17 x sin 115⁰

17 c sin 27⁰

c= 33.9 approximately, c = 34cm.

NB: In any triangle, the longest side correspond to the largest angle while the shortest side corresponds to the smallest angle.

Evaluation: 1. Solve the ∆ completely; A = 39⁰, a = 8.2m and b = 5.6m

2.Calculate the values of angles P and R of ∆ PQR, where q = 14.35cm, p = 7.82cm and Q = 115.6⁰

Deductive Proof of Cosine Rule

The cosine rule is also the same for the acute and obtuse angled triangle.  A

Given: any ABC

 a

To prove: c² = a² + b² – 2abCos C

Construction: Draw a perpendicular from A to B(produced if necessary).

Proof: Using the acute triangle; using the obtuse triangle;

c² = (a-x)² + h² c² = (a +x)² + h²

c2 = a² -2ax + x² + h² c² =a²+2ax+x²+h²

From ∆ ACN; b² = x² + h², and Cos C = x / b From ACN,x²+h²=b²

x= b Cos C =a²+2ax+b²

c² = a² + b² – 2ax From ACN,x/b=CosACN

x =bCosC =Cos(180⁰-C)

= -Cos C ,x= -bCos C

c² = a² + b² – 2abCosC c² = a² + b² +2a(-bCos C)

c² = a² + b² – 2abCos C

Similarly, for other sides and angles. Therefore the cosine rule can be written as thus:

c² = a² + b² – 2abCosC OR Cos C = a² + b² – c²

a²= b² + c² – 2bcCosA 2ab

b² = a² + c² – 2acCosB Cos A = b² + c² – a²

2bc

Cos B = a² + c² – b²

2ac

Conditions Necessary for Use: The rule is used for solving acute and obtuse angled triangles in which two sides and included angles are given.

Example Given that A = 120⁰, b = 7cm, c= 12cm. Solve the triangle completely.

Solution

Using cosine rule; a² = b² + c² – 2bcCosA

a²= 7² + 12² – 2(7×12)Cos 120⁰

a²= 49 + 144 – 168 (-0.5)

a² = 193 +84

a =√277

a = 16.6cm.

To find angle B, Cos B = a² + c² – b²

2ac

Cos B = 16.6² + 12² – 7²

2x 16.6 x12

Cos B = 275.56 + 144 – 49

398.4

Cos B = 0.9301, B = cos^-10.9301, B = 21.5⁰.

To find < C; < A + < B + 0,

C = 180⁰ – 120⁰ – 21.5⁰, C = 38.5⁰.

Hence, a = 16.6cm, B = 21.5⁰ and C = 38.5⁰.

NB: 1. In any triangle, the longest side corresponds to the largest angle and the shortestside to the smallest angle.

2. It is advisable to always find the smallest angle first , since the angle must be acute.

A

Ө

C B

Angle ACB = Ө = Angle of elevation.

Angle of Depression: This is the angle formed between the eye level of the observer and the object below when the observer is above the object at view.

Angle ABC = Ө = Angle of Depression. B Ө

AC

The angle of elevation is alternate to the angle of depression and problems involving angles of elevation and depression could be solved by using the basic trigonometric ratios and in some cases the sine and cosine rule could be applied.

Sine Rule for ∆ ABC; a = b = c

Sin A Sin B Sin C

Cosine Rule: a² = b² + c² – 2bc Cos A

b² = a² + c² – 2ac Cos B

c² = a² + b² – 2ab Cos C

EXAMPLES:

1. A ladder 50m long rests against a vertical wall. If the ladder makes an angle of 65⁰ with the ground, find the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall.

Solution: Q Ladder = QR, Wall = QP

Distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall = PR

50m Cos 65⁰ = PR

50

Cross multiplying

PR = 50 x Cos 65⁰ = 50 x0.4226

PR = 21.13m

1. The angle of depression of an object on the ground from the top of a tower 60m high is 55⁰. Find the distance between the foot of the tower and the object to the nearest whole number.

Solution: A

55⁰ Tower = AC, Object = A

Distance between the foot of the tower and

  the object = BC

Tan 55⁰ = AC, tan 55⁰ = 60

60m BC BC

Cross multiplying; BC x Tan 55⁰ = 60

BC = 60/tan 55⁰

BC BC = 60/1.428 = 42.02m

BC = 42m (nearest whole number)

EVALUATION

From the top of a building 10m high, the angle of elevation of a stone lying on the horizontal ground is 70⁰. Calculate correct to 1 decimal place, the distance of the stone from the foot of the building and the distance of the stone from the top of the building.

FURTHER EXAMPLES:

1. The angle of elevation of the top of a vertical pole from a height 1.54m above a horizontal ground is 40⁰. The foot of the pole is on the same horizontal ground and the point of observation is 20m from the pole. Calculate correct to 3 significant figures. (i) the height of the pole (ii) the angle of depression of the foot of the pole from the point of observation.

Solution:E

Pole = BE, AD = Point above the ground.

40⁰

D C

1.54m

A   B

20m

1. BE = Height of the pole = BC + CE

BC = AD = 1.54m, AB = CD = 20m (opposite & parallel sides).

To obtain CE, using triangle CDE;

Tan 40⁰ = CE/CD, Tan 40⁰ = CE/20

Cross multiplying; CE = 20 x tan 40⁰ = 20 x 0.8391

CE = 16.782m

Therefore, Height of the pole (BE) = 1.54 + 16.782 = 18.322m

= 18.3m (3 sig. fig)

1. Angle of depression of the foot of the pole from point D:

   Using ∆ BDC, Tan Ө = 1.54/20

   Ө = tan^-1(0.077) = 4.41⁰

1. A boy observes that the angle of elevation of the top of a tower is 32⁰. He then walks 8m towards the tower and then discovers that the angle of elevation is 43⁰. Find the height of the tower to the nearest metre.

   Solution:
   

   A
   

    

    

    

    

    

   32⁰ 43⁰

   D 8m C x B

   Height of the tower is AB, using ∆ACB, Tan 43⁰ = AB/x

   AB = x tan 43⁰ ……………………eqn 1

   From ∆ ADB, Tan 32⁰ = AB/(8 + x)

   AB = (8 + x) tan 32⁰ ……………………eqn 2

   Equating the two equations: x tan 43⁰ = (8 + x) tan 32⁰

   x tan 43⁰ = 8tan 32⁰ + x tan 32⁰

   x tan 43⁰ – x tan 32⁰ = 8tan 32⁰

   x(tan 43⁰ – tan 32⁰) = 8 tan 32⁰

   x = 8 tan 32⁰

   tan 43⁰ – tan 32⁰

   x = 8 x 0.6249 = 4.9992

   0.9325 – 0.6249 0.3076

   x = 16.252m

   Height of the tower = AB = x tan 43⁰ = 16.252 x 0.9325 = 15.15499m

   Height of the tower = 15.2m

Cosine rule; c² = a² + b² – 2abCosC

a² = b² + c² – 2bcCosA

b² = a² + c² – 2acCosB

• Frequency Table.  
• Cumulative Frequency Table.
• Histogram.

When data has a large number of values, it is cumbersome to prepare its frequency table; hence the data are organized into classes or groups to overcome this problem. E.g 0 – 4, 5 – 9, 10 – 14 e.t.c.

The range of the classes is first considered before we group the data. When data is divided into groups, it is called a grouped frequency distribution.

Grouped frequency distribution: The groups into which the data are arranged are called class intervals

e.g 15 – 19

Class Limit: The number of each class intervals is called class limits of that interval.

Consider the class interval 20 – 24,

20 = lower class limit, 24 = upper class limit

Class Boundaries: When data is given to the nearest unit, the class interval 34 – 37, has a lower class boundary of 33.5 and upper class boundary of 37.5.

Consider the intervals below: 20 – 24, 25 – 29 ETC. To obtain the class boundaries of 25 – 29,

24 + 25 = 24.5, 29 + 30 = 29.5

2 2

Class Width: This is the difference between the upper class boundary and the lower class boundary.

Class Marks: This is the centre or mid-point of any class interval. It is obtained by finding the average of the lower and upper limits. Find the class mark of the following class intervals 40 – 44, 45 – 49, 50 – 54 etc.

Cumulative Frequency Table:

This is the table that shows the cumulative frequency of each of the classes and it is the running total of the frequencies class by class, giving the total frequency.

EXAMPLE: In a mock examination for the final year Chemistry class, the following were obtained by 50 students.

HISTOGRAM

This is a type of bar chart, each bar corresponding to one mark and with its length proportional to the frequency of that mark. The class marks or centres, class boundaries can be used on the variable scale. In histogram, the bars are joined together and must be of equal width, except when dealing with unequal class interval.

The following table shows the distribution of marks scored by a class of 80 students.

MEAN, MEDIAN AND MODE OF GROUPED DATA

MEAN: The arithmetic mean of grouped frequency distribution can be obtained using:

Class Mark Method:

X = where x is the midpoint of the class interval.

Assumed Mean Method: It is also called working mean method. X = A + (∑ Fd/∑f)

Where, d = x – A, x = class mark and A = assumed mean.

EXAMPLE: The numbers of matches in 100 boxes are counted and the results are shown in the table below:

Calculate the mean (i) using class mark (ii) assumed mean method given that the assumed mean is 30.5.

Solution:

1. Class Mark Method: X = = 3214/100 = 32. 14 = 32 matches per box (nearest whole no)
2. Assumed Mean Method: X = A + (∑ Fd/∑f)

   = 30. 5 + (164/100) =30.5 + 1.64

   = 32.14 = 32 matches per box (nearest whole number)

EVALUATION:

Calculate the mean shoe sizes of the number of shoes represented in the table below using (i) class mark (ii) assumed mean method given that the assumed mean is 42.

MODE

The mode of a grouped frequency distribution can be determined geometrically and by interpolation method.

Mode from Histogram: The highest bar is the modal class and the mode can be determined by drawing a straight line from the right top corner of the bar to the right top corner of the adjacent bar on the left. Draw another line from the left top corner to the bar of the modal class to the left top corner of the adjacent bar on the right.

Example:

The table gives the distribution of ages of students in an institution.

Draw a histogram and use your histogram to estimate the mode to the nearest whole number.

Modal class = 22 – 24

Mode = 21.5 + 0.9 = 22.4, approximately 22 yrs.

MODE FROM INTERPOLATION: The mode can be obtained using the formula.

Mode = L_m +

Where L_m = lower class boundary of the modal class.

∆₁ = difference between the frequency of the modal class and the class before it.

∆₂ = difference between the frequency of the modal class and the class after it.

C = class width of the modal class.

Example: Using the table given in the example above:

Modal class = 22 – 24, ∆₁ = 35 – 30 = 5, ∆₂ = 35 – 24 = 11, C = 3, L_m = 21.5

Mode = 21.5 + 5 3

5 + 11

= 21.5 + (15/16) = 21.5 + 0.9375

= 22.44, approximately 22 yrs.

MEDIAN OF GROUPED DATA: The median of grouped data can be determined from a cumulative frequency curve and from the interpolation formula.

Median from Cumulative Frequency Curve: The cumulative frequency curve can be used to determine the median.

EXAMPLE: The table below shows the masses of 50 students in a secondary school

1. Prepare a cumulative frequency table for the data.
2. Draw the ogive and use your graph to find the median.

Cumulative Frequency Curve Showing the Masses of 50 Students.

To find the median, find (N/2) and check the table on the curve.

Therefore, N/2 = 50/2 = 25th

Check 25^th on the cumulative frequency and trace to the upper class boundary.

Median = 29.5 + 0.5 = 30kg

MEDIAN FROM INTERPOLATION FORMULA

Median = L₁ + N/2 – cfmC

fm

Where, L₁ = lower class boundary of the median class.

Cfm = cumulative frequency of the class before the median class.

Fm = frequency of the median class.

C = class width of the median class.

N = Total frequency

The median class: 30 – 34, L₁ = 29.5, cfm = 24, fm = 11, C = 5

Median = 29.5 + 25 – 24 x 5

11

= 29.5 + 5 = 30kg

WEEK EIGHT

TOPIC: PROBABILITY (EVENT AND OUTCOME)

CONTENT

1.  Definition of terms

2.  Events and outcome (measuring probability)

 (a)  Experimental probability

 (b)  Theoretical probability

DEFINITION OF TERMS

(i)Event: When an experiment is performed two or more results or outcomes will be expected to happen. Each attempt is called a trial and the outcome of a trial and the outcome of a trial is called an event, usually denoted by E.

(ii)Random Experiment: A random experiment is a repetitive process which may result in any one of the possible outcomes of the experiment OR:

(iii)Sample space: The sample space of a random experiment is the set containing all the possible outcomes of the experiment OR:

Sample space is all the possible outcomes of a trail in an experiment usually denoted by S.

(iv)The number of the points in a sample space n(s), and in an event, E is n(E).

Examples

1.  When a coin is tossed twice, all the possible outcomes i.e. the sample space

 S = {HH, HT,TH, TT}

 \ n(s) = 4

2.  If a die is cast once, there are six outcomes.

 \ the sample space , S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

 \ n(S) = 6

 Suppose an event E that an even number is thrown,

 then E = {2, 4, 6} and n(E) = 3.

3.  A box contain 16 red, 6 white, and 18 blues balls.

 The sample spaces, S = {16 + 6 + 18) balls

 n (S) = 40

4.  When a die is tossed twice, the outcome of the first toss S¹ = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) does not influence the outcome of the second throw. S² = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The two outcomes are independent of each other. For instance, the chance of throwing a5 in the first toss is ¹/₆ does not influence the chance of the throw of 2 in the second toss (i.e. ¹/₆); they are Independent Event.

Equally likely events: Two or more events are said to be equally likely to happen if the chance of occurrence of each of the same.e.g.

1.In the throw of a die, there are six equally likely outcomes, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} the change of each occurring is 1 out of 6 c.c. ¹/₆.

2.From a pack of 52 cards, the chance of picking any of the cards at random is ¹/₅2.

PROBABILITY

The probability of an event is the chance of its occurrence, that is the likelihood of the event happening with respect to the sample space.

Prob. Of E =   number of elements in E___

number of total elements in S

\P(E) = n(E)

  n(S)

NOTE: Probability of an event lies between 0 and 1 i.e. O<1

then the prob. that it will not occur is 1 – P(E).

EVALUATION

1.  In a class of 27 boys and 12 girls, what is the probability of picking a girl.

2.  A no is chosen at random from 40 to 50, find the probability that it is a prime number.

3.  If all 2-digits numbers 00, 01, 02, …….99 are equally likely to be chosen, find the probability that a number picked at random has 5 as its first digit.

EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL PROBABILITY

EXPERIMENTAL PROBABILITY

Experimental Prob = no of required outcome

no of possible outcome

Example

A die is rolled 200 times, the outcome obtained are shown below.

Find the experimental probability of obtaining (a) 6 (b) 2

(a)  P(6)  = n(6) = 32  = 4  

n(S)200   25 = 0.16

(b)  P(2) = n(2)   = 30  = 3   = 0.15

n(S) 200   20

Since experimental probability uses numerical records of past events to predicts the future, its predictions are not absolutely accurate, however the probability of throwing a 2 on a fair 6-sided die is ¹/₆, since any one of the 6 faces is equally alike. This is an example of theoretical probability.

THEORETICAL PROBABILITY

Theoretical probability is the assumed value assigned to the occurrence of an event based on the assumption that each of the elements in the outcome are equally likely to happen i.e. by considering the physical nature of the given situation.

Examples

Tola throws a fair six-sided die, what is the probability that she throws (a) a 9 (b) a 4

(c) a no greater than 2 (d) an even no (e) either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6?

Solution

a.  Since the faces of a six sided die are numbers 1, 2, …6, it is impossible to throw a 9.

 \ P (9) = 0

b.  There is a chance out of 6 chances of throwing 4

 \ P(4) = 1/6

c.  S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} , n (S) = 6

 no > 2 = {3, 4, 5, 6} , n(<2) = 4

 P (no >2) = n(no>2) = 4/6 = 2/3

n(s)  

d.  There are 3 possible even number S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, n (S) = 6

 even no = {2, 4, 6} n (even) = 3

 P(even) = n (even) = 3/6 = ½

n (S)

e.  Either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

 S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} n (S) = 6n (r) = 6.

P(r) = n(r)= 6/6 = 1

n(S)  

Example 2

A bag contains 3 red, 5 green and 7 white balls, if a ball is selected from the bag, what is the probability that the ball is green?

Total no. of balls, n(S) = 3 + 5 + 7 = 15

Event E = green balls \n(E) = 5

\P(E) = n(E) = 5 = 1

  n(S) 15 3

MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE AND INDEPENDENT EVENTS

APPLICATION OF TREE DIAGRAM IN SOLVING PROBLEMS

Mutually Exclusive Event

Mutually exclusive events are events which cannot together at the same time. One event will pave way for the other, in such a case the separate probability are added together probabilities are added to give the combined probability.

Additional Law of Probability

If event A,B,C…. are mutually exclusive, the probability of A or B or C or…. Happening is the sum of their individual probabilities.

P(A) + P(B) + P(C) + ……..

Note: use the addition law to solve problems that contains the word or or either/or.

Worked Examples:

A bag contains 3 red balls, 4 blues balls 5 white balls and 6 black balls. A ball is picked at

Random, what is the probability that it is either:

1. Red or blue

1. Blue or black
2. Red, white or blue
3. Blue, white or black
4. Neither red nor

Solution

 P(R) = 3/18 P(B) = 4/18 P(W) = 5/18, P(BK) =6/18

 (a)Pro(either red or blue) = 3/18 + 4/18 = 7/18  

 (b) Pro(blue or black) = 4/18 6/18

= 10/18 = 5/9

(c)P(red white or blue) = P(r) +P(w) + P(blue)

  = 3/18 + 4/18 + 5/18

=12/18 = 2/3

(d) P(blue, white or black) = P(blue) + P(white) + P(black)

= 4/18 + 5/18 + 6/18

= 15/18 = 5/6

 (e)P(neither Red or blue) = P(R or blue)¹

= 1-P(R or blue)

= 1- 7/18

= 11/18

Worked Example 2

A letter is choosen at random from the word “COMPUTER” what the probability that it is

(a)  either in the word cut or in the word ROPE

(b)  neither in the word MET nor in the word UP?

Solution:

 n(s) = 8

(a)  P (either word CUT or ROPE) =

 P (CUT) + P(ROPE)

  = 3/8 + 4/8

= 7/8

(b) P(MET +UP)¹ = 1- 5/8 = 3/8  

Evaluation

F={2, 3, 7} and T = {10, 20, 30, 40}

(a)  If one element is selected at random, from F, write down the probability that it is odd.

(b)  If one element is selected at random from T, write down the probability that it is a multiple of 5

(c)  If one element is selected at random, from FUT write down the probability of 42 or a multiple of 4

INDEPENDENT EVENT

Independent event are event which have no effect on each other. In such cases the

Separate probabilities are multiplied to give the combined probability.

Product Law

If event A, B, C is independent, the probability of A and B and C and …. Happening is

the product of their individual probabilities P(A) x P(B) x P(c) ……

Note: use the product law to solve problems that contains the words “and” or both/and

Worked Example: A coin is tossed and a die is then thrown what is the probability of getting a

head and a perfect square

Solution

P(H and perfect square)

P(H) = ½

(Perfect square = (1,4)

n (perfect square) = 2

n(s) = 6

P (perfect square) = ²/₆ = ¹/₃

\ P (H and perfect square) = `1/2 x 1/3 =  

=1/6

WorkedExample 2:

A bag contains 3 black balls and 2 white balls

(a)  A ball is taken from the bag and then replaced, A second ball is chosen, what is the probability that

(i)  They are both black

(ii)  One is black and one is white

(iii)  at least one is black

(iv)  at most one is black

Solution.

With Replacement

i  P(BB) = 3/5 x 3/5   = 9/25

ii  Probabilities that one is black and one is white = P(BW) or P(WB)

 P(one white one black) = P(BW) + P(WB)

= 3/5 x 2/5 + 2/5 x 3/5

 P(BW) or P(WB) =  6/25 + 6/25  = 12/25

iii  Prob ( at least one is black) = P( both are black) + P(one is black)

= P(BW) + P (WB) +P(BB)

= 12/25 + 9/25

 = 21/25

iv  At most one is black means either one is black or non is black i.e one is black or both are white.

P(at most one black) = P(BW) + P(WB) + P(WW)

= 6/25 + 6/5 + 4/25

= 16/25
