CR = AE , CA = 4 = RA




Since CA = 4 = RA, CAR is a 45 4590 triangle, we have CR = 42.
Since CR = AE, AE = 42 also. Now, by applying Pythagorean Theorem, we
have

10y 39 = 0
(y 13)(y + 3) = 0
y = 13 | y = 3
Since point B is located in the third quadrant, The value of y must be 3.

35. If two intersecting secants/chords are made to intersect inside the circle,
then an angle formed by those two secants/chords is equal to half the sum
of its intercepted arcs. Hence, to solve for mBN,

37. It can be seen that when DE

and BC

are extended,
they serve as transversals cutting BA

and CD

which
are parallel to each other.

We see that

x + 3x = 180
4x = 180
x = 45
2x +5 = 95
ANSWER: D. 95

38. Rewrite the given equation of the circle in the centeriauius foim:
x

+y
2
2x 6y +5 = 0
Completing the square and expressing as squares of binomials,
(x
2
2x +1) +(y
2
6y + 9) = 5 +1 +9
(x 1)
2
+ (y 3)

= 5
We see that the circle has its center at (1, 3) and a radius of 5.

mBN =

41. Let s be a side of the square. Then s
2
will be its area. Now, if a side of the
same square is made to be 2s, then its area will now be 4s
2
. We see that the
area becomes quadrupled.
ANSWER: d. The area will be quadrupled.

42. Notice that the nonshaueu iegion is a tiiangle. Since
every small square measures 1 cm, we have the base
of the triangle as 2 cm and the height as 3 cm. We
now compute for the area of the triangle:

43. If we let o to be a side of the equilateral triangle, then we have 3o as its
perimeter which equals the perimeter of a certain square.

Now, we have o = 16 3o = 48 = 4s, where s isa side of the given square.
We now conclude that s = 12, and hence, the area s
2
equals 144.
ANSWER: a. 144

44. The median of a square is half the sum of the lengths of its bases. Hence, we
have
XY =
