For each problem, construct an equation to solve it.
a) Peter’s age is 7. When you multiply Ann’s age by 5 and subtract the result from 45
you get Peter’s age.
Find Ann’s age.
b) The area of a rectangle is 28 cm2. The length of the rectangle is
(3x − 4)cm and the width of the rectangle is 8 cm.

c) Tim thinks of a number. He multiples it by 14 then adds 2.
Pierre thinks of the same number. He multiples it by 2 and then subtracts the result
from 4. He gets the same answer as Tim.
What is the number Tim and Pierre had chosen?
d) The lengths of two adjacent sides of a square are 2(x − 4) and 7(3 + 2x).
Find the value of x.

Chapter 32 Geometrical reasoning and proof

Dot has written three geometrical proofs but each of them contains errors.
Correct each proof.
a) A proof to show that the sum of the angles in the
triangle is 180º
d° c°
e°
a = d because of corresponding angles
b = c because of alternate angles
a°
The sum of the angles in the triangle
b°
=a+b+c
=d+c+c
= 180º
b) A proof to show that the sum of the angles in the
quadrilateral is 180º
q°
The sum of the angles in the quadrilateral is:
c° r°
=p+q+r+s
d°
= (a + d) + q + (d + s) + c
a°
=a+q+d+b+s+c
p°
b°
s°
= 180º + 170º
= 360º
c) A proof to show that the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two
interior opposite angles.
c = 170 − a − b
b°
d = 190 − c
c°
d = 190 − (170 − a − b)
d = 190 − 170 + c + b
d=a+b
