MASILANG-Algebra Part 1 Module 1 Activity No. 2
Problems:
1. If the edge of the cube is increased by 20%, by how much will the surface area
increase? Ans. 44%
GIVEN: req’d:
s2 = 1.2s increase, %
SAC = 6s2
SOLUTION:
SAC1 = 6s2 SAC2 = 6s2
SAC2 = 6(1.2s)2
SAC2 = 6(1.44s2 )
SAC2 = 8.64s2
SAC2 -SAC1
% increase = (100%)
SAC1
8.64s2 - 6s2
% increase = (100%)
6s2
% increase = 44%
answer:
% increase = 44%
2. In twelve years, Bea’s age will exceed one half of Andre’s age by 10 years.
Sixteen years ago, Andre’s age was 3 times Bea’s age. Find the age of Andre.
Ans. 40
GIVEN: req’d:
12 years from now: Bea’s Age will Andre’s Age
exceed ½ of Andre’s by 10
16 years ago: Andre’s was 3x Bea’s
SOLUTION:
Let x = Bea’s Age
y = Andre’s Age
1
12 Years from Now: x + 12 = (y + 12) + 10
2
1
Therefore: x= y+4
2
answer:
Andre = 40 years old
3. What time after one o’clock will the hands of the clock be 100 degrees to each
other for the first time? Ans. 1:23:64
GIVEN: req’d:
100 degrees after 01:00 time
SOLUTION:
Let x = time
12 to 1 = 5 minutes
x 1
x = 5 mins + + 100° ( )
12 6°
x = 23.6364 after 01:00
answer:
01:23.64
4. Rudy sailed 18 km downstream and back to the same place where he started in
3 hours. Find Rudy’s velocity in still water if the stream current is 3 kph.
Ans. 12.7 kph
GIVEN: req’d:
18 km downstream velocity
time = 3 hrs
current = 3 kph
SOLUTION:
t1 + t2 = 3 hrs
d
From the formula: v=
t
where: v = velocity
d = distance
t = time
d d
Therefore, + =t
v-3 v+3
18 18
(v - 3)(v + 3) [ + ] = [3 hrs](v - 3)(v + 3)
v-3 v+3
18(v + 3) + 18(v - 3) = 3(v - 3)(v + 3)
18v + 54 + 18v - 54 = 3v2 - 27
3v2 - 36v - 27 = 0
v = 12.7082 kph
answer:
v = 12.7082 kph
