4. The price of a chair is $3 785. Tim and Vincent estimate the price of the chair as $3 600 and $4 000
respectively.
(a) Find the absolute errors of their estimations.
(b) Whose estimation is more accurate? Explain your answer.
(3 marks)
(a) Absolute error of Tim’s estimation
= 3785 – 3600
= $185 (1A)
Absolute error of Vincent’s estimation
= 3999 – 3785
= $214 (1A)
(b) ∵ Tim’s estimation has a smaller absolute error
∴ Tim’s estimation is more accurate. (1A f.t.)

5. Tom uses a thermometer to measure the temperature of a cup of cold water. The result is shown in the
figure.
(a) Write down the reading of the temperature.
(b) Find the maximum absolute error of the measured temperature.
(c) If the actual temperature is xC, find the possible range of x.
(4 marks)
(a) Reading = 4.3C (1A)
(b) Scale interval = 0.1C
1
Maximum absolute error   0.1
2
 0.05 C (1A)

(c) Lower limit = 4.3 – 0.05 = 4.25C (0.5A)

Upper limit = 4.3 + 0.05 = 4.35C (0.5A)
∴ Possible range of x: 4.25  x < 4.35 (1A)

9. The figure shows a polar coordinate plane.
(a) Write down the coordinates of E.
(b) Find the distance between D and F.
(c) Is DF perpendicular to OE? Explain your answer.
(d) Hence, or otherwise, find the area of DEF.
(6 marks)
(a) E = (3, 70) (1A)

(b) DF = 6 + 3 = 9 units (1A)

(c) DOE = 160 – 70

= 90 (1A)
∴ DF is perpendicular to OE. (1A f.t.)

(a) Area of DEF

= DF × OE ÷ 2
=9×3÷2 (1M)
= 13.5 sq. units (1A)

10. Frankie measures his height at the gate of the roller-coaster with a measuring tape as 125 cm. The
percentage error is 0.4%.
(a) Find the maximum absolute error of his measured height.
(b) The minimum height requirement for passengers of a roller-coaster is 125.5 cm. Frankie claims that
he can get on the roller-coaster. Do you agree? Explain your answer.
(4 marks)
(a) Let x cm be the maximum absolute error.
x
100%  0.4% (1M )
125
x
 0.4
125
x  0.5
∴ The maximum absolute error = 0.5 cm (1A)

(b) Upper limit = 125 + 0.5 = 125.5 cm (1A)

∵ Frankie’s height is less than the upper limit (125.5 cm)
∴ He can enter the tent. (1A f.t.)

11. The figure shows a rectangle DEFG whose sides are either horizontal or vertical line segments. It is
given that the perimeter of rectangle DEFG is 45 units.
(a) Find the lengths of DE and DG.
(b) Write down the coordinates of F and G.
(c) Find the area of OFG.
(7 marks)
(a) DE = 4 – (–5) = 9 units (1A)
2 (DG + 9) = 45 (1M)
DG + 9 = 22.5
DG = 13.5 units (1A)

(b) F = (4 , 9 – 13.5) = (4 , –4.5) (1A)

G = (–5 , 9 – 13.5) = (5 , –4.5) (1A)

(c) Area of EFG

= 9 × [0 – (–4.5)] ÷ 2 (1M)
= 20.25 sq. units (1A)
