(ii) The area of a square board is 81𝐜𝐦𝟐 . What is its perimeter?

= 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 𝑠𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 = 𝑙 2
But area of the board = 81cm2
= 81cm2 = 𝑙 2 M0.5
Taking square root

= 𝑙 = √81 M 0.5 (taking square root)

= 𝑙 = 9𝑐𝑚 A1

Perimeter is given by
𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 = 4𝑙
= 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 = 4 × 9𝑐𝑚 M1
= 36𝑐𝑚 A1
Hence, the perimeter of the square board with an area of 81cm2 is 36cm

QUESTION 4
(a)
35 men can dig the well in 28 days.

This means that the total man-days required to dig the well is
35 men × 28 days = 980 man-days M1 for solving
Let 𝑑 represent the number of days needed for 14 men to complete the task
980
= 𝑑 = 14 M2 for solving
= 𝑑 = 70 A2 for 𝟕𝟎
Therefore, 14 men working at the same rate would take 70 days to dig the well.

(b)
The sum of the external angles of any polygon is always 360°
30° + 40° + 120° + 142° + 𝑦° = 360°. A1 for equating to 6
