SPECIFIC TOPIC: Significant Figures
REFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for senior school 1
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on the significant figure
CONTENT: SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
Significant figures are the positioning of non-zero digits in a numeral. It is usually applicable to both decimals and whole numbers. The first significant figure in any numerical is thus the first non-zero digit when counted from the left-hand side. For example in 0.007368, the first significant figure (s.f) is 7, the second is 3, the third is 6, while the fourth is 8.
Any time a figure is taken to any number of significant figure, the convention is to round off digit 5 and above into a whole number and add to the next digit.
Example 1: Express 0.006457 to (a) 3 s.f (b) 2 s.f (c) 1 s.f
SOLUTION
(a) 0.00646 = 3 s.f
(b) 0.0065 = 2 s.f
(c) 0.006 = 1 s.f
Example 2: Express 45682 to (a) 2 s.f (b) 3 s.f (c) 4 s.f
SOLUTION

SPECIFIC TOPIC: Word problems involving quadratic equations.
REFFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for senior secondary school, book 3
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on word problems involving quadratic equation.
CONTENT: WORD PROBLEMS INVOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATION
It often occurs that some mathematical statements are made which when interpreted numerically gives rise to quadratic equations. Care must be taken when interpreting such statements so as not to misinterpret them.
When such statements give rise to quadratic equations, any of the methods mentioned earlier can be applied to solve such equation
Example 1: The sum of two numbers is 8, their product is 15, find the numbers.
Solution
Let one number be x, the other (8 – x) because their sum is 8.
Also, their product is 15.
Hence
X(8 –x) = 15
Expanding 8x – x2 + 15 = 0
Re-arranging x2 – 8x + 15 = 0
Factorising (x – 3)(x – 5) = 0
Therefore, x = 3 or 5
The numbers are x and 8 – x
= 3 and (8 – 3) = 5
i.e 3 and 5
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following problems.
The sum of two numbers is 13, their product is 40. Find the numbers
ASSIGNMENT;
The two numbers differ by 8, their product is 65. Find the numbers.
CONTENT: WORD PROBLEMS LEADING TO QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
Example 1: The perimeter of a rectangular lawn is 32m while the area is 60m2. Find the breadth of the lawn.
Solution
Let the breadth of the lawn be xm. Since the perimeter is 32m, the length should be (16 – x)m
Since the area is 60m2
Therefore x(16 – x) = 60
16x – x2 = 60
X2 – 16x + 60 = 0
Factorising (x – 6)(x – 10) = 0
Therefore: x = 6 or 10
When x = 6, 16 – x = 16 – 6 = 10
Since the breadth must be shorter than the length then the breadth is 6m.
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following questions.
The sum of two numbers is 13, their product is 40. Find the numbers.
ASSIGNMENT:
Two numbers differ by 8, their product is 65. Find the numbers.
EXAMPLE 1: The sum of two numbers is 10 , their product is 16, find the numbers.
Solution
Let one number be x, the other (10 + x) because their sum is 9
Also their product is 16.
Hence x(10 – x) = 16
Expanding 10x - x2 = 16
Re-arranging x2 – 10x + 16 = 0
Factorising (x – 2) (x – 8) = 0
Therefore x = 2 or 8
The numbers are x and 10 – x
2 and (10 – 2) = 8
i.e 2 and 8
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following questions.
The perimeter of a rectangular lawn is 23cm while the area is 82cm2.Find the breath of the lawn .
EXAMPLE 1: The perimeter of a rectangular lawn is 34cm while the area is 66cm2. Find the breath of the lawn.
Solution
Let the breath of the lawn be xcm. Since the perimeter is 42cm, the length should be (17 – x)cm
Since the area is 66cm2
Therefore x(17 – x) = 66
17x – x2 = 66
X2 – 17x – 66 = 0
Factorising (x – 6)(x – 11) = 0
Therefore, x = 7 or 11
When x = 7 , 17 – x = 17 – 7 = 10
Since the breadth must be shorter than the length then the breadth is 10cm
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following problems.
The perimeter of a rectangular lawn is 42m while the area is 80m. Find the breadth of the lawn
ASSIGNMENT:
The perimeter of a rectangular lawn is 12m while the area is 144m. Find the breadth of the lawn

REFFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for senior secondary school, book 3
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on area of spere
CONTENT: SURFACE AREA OF A SPHERE
Surface area of a sphere of radius r is 4∏r2
(i) Area of a curved surface of a cone = ∏rl
(ii) Total surface area of a solid cone = Total surface area of cone closed at the base
= (area of curved surface) + (area of circular base)
= ∏rl + ∏r2
Example 1: The four walls of a room 6m long 4m wide and 3m high are to be covered with paper 50cm wide. What length of paper is needed?
Solution
L = 6m, B = 4m, H = 3m
Area of the four walls = (area of front and blank) + (area of two sides)
= 2LH + 2BH = 2(6) 3 + 2(4)3 = 60cm2
Let the length of paper of paper needed be x m. Then area of paper needed = area of the four walls
i.e X x ½ = 60, x = 120m
Therefore, 120 metres of paper are needed.
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following problems.
A cylinder of height hcm and radius r cm is open at one end. Find its surface area
ASSIGNMENT;
A cylindrical container, closed at both ends has a radius of 7cm and height 5cm. Find the total surface area of the container
EXAMPLE 1: A solid cylinder of radius 5cm has a total surface area of 86∏r cm2. Find its height.
Solution
Total surface area = (area of curved surface) + (area of closed ends)
= 2∏rh + 2∏r2
Therefore,
2∏(5)h + 2∏(5)2 = 86∏
10∏h = 86∏ - 50∏ = 36∏
h = 36∏/10 = 3.6cm
Example 2: Find the area of the curved surface of the cone generated by the sector of a circle radius 12cm and arc length 22cm
Solution
Circular base of cone = arc of sector
2∏r = 22 x 7 = 7 cm
2 x 2 2
L = slant edge of cone = radius of sector
= 12cm
Area of curved surface of cone
= ∏Rl = 22/7 x 7/2 x 12/1
= 132cm2

MAIN TOPIC: LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE
SPECIFIC TOPIC: DEFINITION OF LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE
REFERENCE BOOK : New General Mathematics For S.S.3
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Identify the latitude and longitudeof a place on the earth
CONTENT: DEFINITION OF LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE
The earth is not a perfect sphere, as it is slightly flatter at the north and south poles than at the equator. But for more purposes we assume that it is a shere.
We can define the position of any point on the earth by circles round the earth, as follows.
The earth rotates about its axis, which stretches between the north and the south poles.
Circles round the earth perpendicular to the axis are circles of latitude.
Circles round the earth which go through the poles are circles of longitude or meridians.
Fig 1:
Latitude is defined relative to the equator, which is the circle of latitude round the middle of the earth.
Longitude is defined relative to the circle of longitude which passes through Greenwish in London. This is also called the Greenwish meridian.
The latitude of a position tells us how far north or south of the equator it is. The longitude of a position tells us how far east or west of the Greenwish meridian it is.
This is how they are defined.
LATITUDE : Take a line from the centreof the earth to a position P (Fig, below). The angle between this line and the plane of the equator is the latitude of P.
Fig, 2
LONGITUDE: Tke the plane through the circle of longitude of P. The angle between this plane and the plane of the Greenwish meridian is the longitude of P
Longitude can be either north or south of the equator. Longitude can be either east or west of greenwish . When starting the latitude and longitude of a lane., give the latitude first. Here are some examples.
Abuja has latitude 90 N (that is , 90 north of the equator) and longitude 70 E (that is , 70 east of the Greenwish meridian)
Abuja is at (90 N, 70E).
Greenwish itself has latitude 510N (that is, 510 north of the equator) and longitude 00 (by definition).
Example 1: Find the latitudes and longitude of A and B on figure below
N
A
G
B
A
SOLUTION
Point A is 600 above the equator, and 200east ofGreenwish.
Point A is at (600N, 200E)
Point B is 100 below the equator, and on the Greenwish meridian.
Point B is at (100S, 00)
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following problems.

CONTENT: DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ANGLES OF LATITUDE, AND DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANGLES OF LONGITUDE
Example 1: Three places on longitude 300 E are Alexandria (in Egypt) at (310N, 300E), Kigali (in Ruanda) at (20S, 300E) and Pietermaritzburg (in South Africa) at (300S, 300E). Find the difference in latitude between
(a) Kigali and Pietermaritzburg
(b) Kigali and Alexandria.
Solution
(a) Both towns are south of the equator. So subtract the latitude. 30 – 2 = 28.
The difference is 280
(b) Kigali is south of the equator, and Alexandria is north. So add the latitudes. 31 + 2 = 33
The difference is 330
Example 2: A plane starts at Chileka airport (in Malawi) which ia at (160S , 350E). It flies west for 500. What are its new latitude and longitude ?

Solve problems on the distances along lines of latitude
CONTENT SHORTEST DISTANCE
EXAMPLE 1: Let A be at (600S,200E) and B be at (600S, 1600W). Find the distance A and B
(a) Along a circle of latitude
(b) Along a great circle
Solution
(a) Both A and B are at latitude 600S. The difference between their longitudes is 200 + 1600 = 1800. Hence the distance along the circle of latitude 600S is
2∏Rcos 600 x 180
360
Taking R = 6 400km and cos 600 = 0.5, this is 10 050km.
(b) The difference between the longitudes of A and B is 1800. Hence they are on opposite sides of the south pole. The great circle joining them goes through the south pole, in fact it is the circle of longitude 200E. The angle of the arc joining A and B is 2 x 300= 600.Hence the length of the arc is
2∏R x 60
360
This comes to 6 700km.
The distance along a great circle is 6 700km.

Therefore, tanθ = BC/AB = 6/4 = 1.5
Therefore, θ = 56.310
Therefore, Bearing of C from A is 0150 + 056.310
i.e 071.310

CONTENT: BEARING AND DISTANCES
A boat sails 6km from a port X on a bearing of 0650 and thereafter 13km on a bearing of 1360. What is the distance and bearing of the boat from X?
Solution
Let Y and Z represent the two stopping positions during the journey. In the diagram below, X is the starting position, XY = 6km on bearing 0650. (the alternate angle between south and west inside XYZ ie a = 650 ). Also, YZ = 13km on a bearing of 1360, b = 1800 - 1360 = 440 as indicated.
By cosine formula, XZ will be calculated.
Y

650 440
Z =6cm x = 13km
650 θ
X Z
a= 650 (alternate angles)
b= 1800 - 1360 (sum of angles on a straight line)
= 440
XYZ = a + b
= 650 + 440
= 1090
Let XZ = ykm
Using Cosine rule
Y2 = x2 + z2 – 2xz Cos Y
Y2 = 132 + 62 – 2 x 13 x 6 cos 1090
Y2 = 169 + 36 – 156 x –cos71
Y2 = 205 + 156 x 0.3256
Y2 = 205 + 50.79
Y2 = 255.79
Y = 255.79
Y = 15.99km
Y = 16km (to the nearest km)
To find the bearing of Z from X
We need to find the value of θ first by using sine formula.
x/sinX = y/sinY
13/Sinθ = 15.99/sin 1090
Sinθ = 13 sin 1090
15.99
Sinθ = 13 x 0.9455
15.99
= 12.2915
15.99
Sinθ = 0.7687
θ= sin -1 (0.7687)
θ= 50.240.
The bearing of Z from X is the sum of the bearing of Y from X and the value of Q
i.e 650 + 50.240
= 115.240
= 1150 ( to the nearest degree)
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following questions.
Three towns A,B and C are such that the distance between A and B is 50km and the distance between A and C is 90km. If the bearing of B from A is 0750 and the bearing of C from A is 3100, find the

REFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for senior school 3
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on sine and cosine using graphical solution
CONTENT: TRIGONOMETRIC GRAPHS
Graphs: Sine and Cosine
To see how the sine and cosine functions are graphed, use a calculator, a computer, or a set of trigonometry tables to determine the values of the sine and cosine functions for a number of different degree (or radian) measures (see Table 1 ).
TABLE 1 Values of the Sine and Cosine at Various Angles
degrees 0° 30° 45° 60° 90° 120°
radians 0
sin x 0 0.500 0.707 0.866 1 0.866
cos x 1 0.866 0.707 0.500 0 −0.500

cos x −0.707 −0.866 −1 −0.866 −0.707 −0.500
Next, plot these values and obtain the basic graphs of the sine and cosine function (Figure 1 ).
Figure 1 One period of the a) sine function and b) cosine function.
The sine function and the cosine function have periods of 2π; therefore, the patterns illustrated in Figure 1 are repeated to the left and right continuously (Figure 2 ).
Figure 2 Multiple periods of the a) sine function and b) cosine function.
Several additional terms and factors can be added to the sine and cosine functions, which modify their shapes.
The additional term A in the function y = A + sin x allows for a vertical shift in the graph of the sine functions. This also holds for the cosine function (Figure 3 ).
Figure 3 Examples of several vertical shifts of the sine function.
The additional factor B in the function y = B sin x allows for amplitude variation of the sine function. The amplitude, | B |, is the maximum deviation from the x-axis—that is, one half the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the graph. This also holds for the cosine function (Figure 4 ).
Figure 4 Examples of several amplitudes of the sine function.
Combining these figures yields the functions y = A + B sin x and also y = A + B cos x. These two functions have minimum and maximum values as defined by the following formulas. The maximum value of the function is M = A + |B|. This maximum value occurs whenever sin x = 1 or cos x = 1. The minimum value of the function is m = A - |B|. This minimum occurs whenever sin x = −1 or cos x = −1.
Example 1: Graph the function y = 1 + 2 sin x. What are the maximum and minimum values of the function?
The maximum value is 1 + 2 = 3. The minimum value is 1 −2 = −1 (Figure 5 ).
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following questions.
Graph the function y = 1 + 4 sin x. What are the maximum and minimum values of the function?
SPECIFIC TOPIC: TRIGONOMETRIC GRAPHS
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on sine and cosine using graph
CONTENT: TRIGONOMETRIC GRAPHS
Example 2: Graph the function y = 4 + 3 sin x. What are the maximum and minimum values of the function?
The maximum value is 4 + 3 = 7. The minimum value is 4 − 3 = 1 (Figure 6 ).
Figure 6 Drawing for Example 2.
The additional factor C in the function y = sin Cx allows for period variation (length of cycle) of the sine function. (This also holds for the cosine function.) The period of the function y = sin Cx is 2π/|C|. Thus, the function y = sin 5 x has a period of 2π/5. Figure 7 illustrates additional examples.
Figure 7 Examples of several frequencies of the a) sine function and b) cosine function.
The additional term D in the function y = sin ( x + D) allows for a phase shift (moving the graph to the left or right) in the graph of the sine functions. (This also holds for the cosine function.) The phase shift is | D |. This is a positive number. It does not matter whether the shift is to the left (if D is positive) or to the right (if D is negative). The sine function is odd, and the cosine function is even. The cosine function looks exactly like the sine function, except that it is shifted π/2 units to the left (Figure 8 ). In other words,
Figure 8 Examples of several phase shifts of the sine function.
Example 3: What is the amplitude, period, phase shift, maximum, and minimum values of
1. y = 3+2 sin (3 x-2)
2.

6π 2 (right)
y = 4 cos 2π x 4 1 0 4 −4
Example 4: Sketch the graph of y = cosπ x.
Because cos x has a period of 2π, cos π x has a period of 2 (Figure 9 ).
Figure 9 Drawing for Example 4.
Example 5: Sketch the graph of y = 3 cos (2x + π/2).
Because cos x has a period of 2π, cos 2x has a period of π (Figure 10 ).
Figure 10 Drawing for Example 5.
The graph of the function y = − f( x) is found by reflecting the graph of the function y = f( x) about the x-axis. Thus, Figure 10 can also represent the graph of y = −3 sin 2 x. Specifically,
It is important to understand the relationships between the sine and cosine functions and how phase shifts can alter their graphs.
