13. A river 20 feet deep and 100 yards wide is flowing at the rate of 3 miles an hour; find how many tons of water run into the sea per minute, it being given that a cubic foot of water weighs 1,000 ounces.

14. Assuming that the ratio of the perimeter of a circle to its diameter is that of 3.1416 to unity, find the volume and the surface of a cylinder, the radius of which is 4 feet and the height 100 feet.

Supposing that a wedge is cut out of this cylinder by two planes through its axis inclined to each other at an angle, which is half a right angle, what will be the volume left?

1. If a straight line be bisected, and produced to any point, the rectangle contained by the whole line thus produced, and the part of it produced, together with the square on half the line bisected, is equal to the square on the straight line which is made up of the half and the part produced.

2. Divide a given straight line into two parts, so that the rectangle contained by the whole and one of the parts may be equal to the square on the other part.

Prove that the given straight line has also been divided so that the squares on the whole and one of the parts are together equal to three times the square on the other part.

3. Equal straight lines in a circle are equally distant from the centre.

If two parallel chords AB, CD be drawn in a circle. then AC and BD are equally distant from the centre.

4. Describe a circle about a given triangle.

If the triangle be right-angled, prove that the sum of the two sides containing the right angle is equal to the sum of the diameters of the inscribed and circumscribing circles.

5. Inscribe an equilateral and equiangular hexagon in a given circle.

6. If an angle of a triangle be bisected by a straight line which also cuts the base the segments of the base shall have the same ratio which the other sides of the triangle have to one another.

7. Similar triangles are to one another in the duplicate ratio of their homologous sides.

8. A and B are fixed points, and P is a moveable point such that PA always bears a fixed ratio to PB. Prove that P lies on a circle, and find the centre of that circle.

9. Define the degree, grade, and unit of circular

measure.

The number that denotes an angle when expressed in circular measure is less by 15 than that denoting the number of degrees in the same angle. Find the angle.

10. Express all the trigonometrical ratios in terms of the sine.

If the cosecant be twice the sine, find the angle.

11. Prove that

cos (A+B) cos A cos B-sin A sin B,

=

stating the limitations assumed in the proof as to the values of A and B.

12. Find cos 24 and sin34.

13. If any arc of a circle be divided into two equal and also into two unequal parts, prove that the rectangle of the chords of the two unequal arcs, together with the square of the chord of the arc between the points of section, is equal to the square of the chord of half the arc. 14. Prove that in any triangle

15. In the triangle ABC

A=26° 26' b=127 and a = 85. Find B.

Given

log 1.27=1038037,

log 8.59294189.

log sin 41° 41'= 9.8228302,

log sin 41° 42′ = 9.8229721.

16. If one angle of a triangle be 65°, and one of the sides containing this angle be four times the other, find the remaining angles.

Given log23010300, log 3=4771213,

17. The angle of elevation of a tower at a distance of 20 yards from its foot is three times as great as the angle of elevation 100 yards from the same point.

Shew that the height of the tower in feet is
