1. Problem 13: Find the area of each compound shape.
**Part a:** The shape can be divided into a rectangle and a triangle.
- Rectangle area = length \times width = $16 \times 8 = 128$ cm$^2$.
- Triangle area = $\frac{1}{2} \times$ base $\times$ height = $\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 8 = 40$ cm$^2$.
- Total area = $128 + 40 = 168$ cm$^2$.
**Part b:** The shape can be divided into a rectangle and a semicircle.
- Rectangle area = $12 \times 8 = 96$ cm$^2$.
- Semicircle radius = $\frac{12}{2} = 6$ cm.
- Semicircle area = $\frac{1}{2} \pi r^2 = \frac{1}{2} \pi \times 6^2 = 18\pi$ cm$^2$.
- Total area = $96 + 18\pi \approx 96 + 56.55 = 152.55$ cm$^2$ (to 2 d.p.).
2. Problem 14: Function $6x + 5y = 60$.
**a.** Check if point $(5,6)$ lies on the graph.
- Substitute $x=5$, $y=6$ into the equation:
$$6(5) + 5(6) = 30 + 30 = 60$$
- Since LHS = RHS, point $(5,6)$ is on the graph.
**b.** Find intercepts.
- $x$-intercept: set $y=0$:
$$6x + 5(0) = 60 \Rightarrow 6x = 60 \Rightarrow x = 10$$
- $y$-intercept: set $x=0$:
$$6(0) + 5y = 60 \Rightarrow 5y = 60 \Rightarrow y = 12$$
**c.** Graph passes through $(10,0)$ and $(0,12)$.
3. Problem 15: Equilateral triangle ABC with side $20$ cm.
**a.** Find height AD.
- Height splits triangle into two 30-60-90 right triangles.
- Height $AD = 20 \times \sin 60^\circ = 20 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 10\sqrt{3}$ cm.
**b.** Area of triangle:
- $$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 10\sqrt{3} = 100\sqrt{3} \approx 173.21 \text{ cm}^2$$
4. Problem 16: Shape formed by semicircle with diameter AB and right triangle ABC.
- AB = 12 cm, BC = 15 cm.
- Find AC using Pythagoras:
$$AC = \sqrt{15^2 + 12^2} = \sqrt{225 + 144} = \sqrt{369} = 3\sqrt{41}$$ cm.
- Area of triangle ABC:
$$\frac{1}{2} \times AB \times BC = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 15 = 90 \text{ cm}^2$$
- Area of semicircle:
$$\frac{1}{2} \pi r^2 = \frac{1}{2} \pi \times 6^2 = 18\pi \approx 56.55 \text{ cm}^2$$
- Total area = $90 + 56.55 = 146.55$ cm$^2$.
5. Problem 17: Determine if fractions are terminating or recurring decimals.
- A fraction in lowest terms has a terminating decimal if its denominator's prime factors are only 2 and/or 5.
**a.** $\frac{8}{3}$ denominator 3 (prime factor 3) → recurring decimal.
**b.** $\frac{21}{5}$ denominator 5 → terminating decimal.
**c.** $\frac{28}{9}$ denominator 9 = $3^2$ → recurring decimal.
**d.** $\frac{39}{12}$ denominator 12 = $2^2 \times 3$ → recurring decimal because of factor 3.
