When two lines intersect we can find the point of intersection.
One method is' to draw the two lines on a graph.
(1) Plot the two lines y = x + 2 and y = 2x on a graph.
What is the point of intersection?
(see card O744 if this is difficult)
(2) Plot the two lines y = x + 5 and y = 4o; + 1 on a new graph.
What is the point of intersection?
Can you give an exact answer?

Your answer to question (2) was probably not very accurate because the values of x and y at the point of intersection are not integers.
There are several ways to get a more accurate answer.One of these is the ITERATIVE METHOD.

Cut one of the quarters into two equal parts.
Stick them into your book.
The rectangle ABCD has approximately the same area as the circle.
(1) Calculate this area by measuring AB and BC.
The more sectors you start with, the better the approximation will be. O
(2) Fold a circle of the same size into 8 sectors and repeat. Calculate the approximate area.
(3) Repeat this again using 16 sectors.
(4) Explain why the statement is true
(5) Follow through the working below to understand the statement'
Circumference of circle = 2irr
AB is approximately half of the circumference (why?)
So AB = Trr (approx.)
BC = r
(why?)
Area of rectangle, ABCD
= AB x BC

Polygons: Interior AnglesSmile 0800
We know that the exterior angles of any polygon add up to 360°...
but what about the interior angles ...?
\
Starting with a triangle
You probably already know that the interior angles of any triangle add up to 180°.
By cutting and sticking
By measuring
108 +32°+40° =180 x + y+ 2 = 180°
Mathematical proofHere is a mathematical proof which shows why the interior angles of any triangle add up to 180°.
Read it through carefully.Copy and complete it in your book.
Known:The exterior angles of any polygonadd up to 360°, ___
SO a + b + c = •^H
Known:Angles on a straight line add upto180°,
so x + a = U y + b = •2 + C= ••
Adding all the angles x + a + y + b + z + c
Rewriting gives x + y + z + a + b + c
Subtracting (a + b + c) from x + y + z + a + b
x + y + z + a + b + ca + b + c
x+y+z
This will help you to find the sum of the interior angles of any polygon
1. Copy and complete the following to findthe sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral.
exterior angles: a + b + c+ d =
a + w- b + x =c + y = d+ z -

(iv) The sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral

InflationSmile 0804
Inflation is a measure of the rate at which prices increase.
Inflation is measured by taking the price of a standard "basket" of food and other services.
Look at this table for 1991-1993. The inflation rate in 1992 was 3.7% so that the standard "basket" costing £100 in 1991 would cost £103.70 in 1992. In 1993 the inflation rate decreased to 1.6%. Actual prices still increased but by less. When the rate of inflation decreases, prices still rise. The rate of increase in the prices is slower.

1. Draw graphs to illustrate the annual changes in price of the six other foods listed.
2. Use your graphs to answer these questions about prices from 1972 to 1977.
a) Which food did not increase in price between 1975 and 1976?
b) Which foods did not record their highest prices in 1977? Which foods did not record their lowest prices in 1972? Suggest reasons for your answers.
3. a) The price increase for 11b of sausages between 1972 and 1977 is 23p; for 2lbs sugar it is only 11 p. Any comment?
b) Find the price increases for the other foods.
4 Which food do you think increased most in price between 1972 and 1977? Which food price do you think increased least?
Sausages and sugar increased by different amounts but in each case the price increase is approximately the same as the original 1972 price.

2. Copy out the definitions of the three averages most often used in mathematics (see page 8).
3. Look back at cards B to I and decide which of these three averages (if any) is appropriate.

Explain in each case, what the word average does mean.
Hi Average weight
10. Can you use the mean, median or mode to enable Asma to be more precise?
Average wage
The foreman goes to see the director to demand a pay rise:
"We must have a rise, our average wage is only £3500 a year."
"I'm sorry" said the director "you've calculated it wrongly, your average wage is £5000. You don't need a rise."
11. Which average suits the director best?
12. Which average suits the workers best?
"That isn't right" replied the foreman. "Your wage is in a different class than ours. If you don't count your wage, you can use any average you like."
13. How does it affect the different averages if you do not count the director's salary?
Mathematical averages
In a set of data, the mode is the item which is most common.
If a set of figures is listed in order, the median is the middle one (or halfway between the middle two).
To find the mean of a set of figures add them up and divide by the number of figures.
Average shoe size B
In Asma's class there are 25 pupils. Their shoe sizes are:
3, 7, 7, 5, 6, 8, 5, 7, 9,
7, 4, 4, 6, 9, 7, 6, 6, 6,
5,8,7,3, 10,7,6.
Asma's shoe size is average. What do you think it is?
Average ability
