(a) Without using tables, find the value of \(\frac{0.45 \times 0.91}{0.0117}\)
(b) Find the number which is exactly halfway between \(1\frac{6}{7}\) and \(2\frac{11}{28}\).
(c) If each interior angle of a regular polygon is five times the exterior angle, how many sides has the polygon?
(d) Calculate the volume of the material used in making a pipe 20cm long, with an internal diameter 6cm and external diameter 8cm. [Take \(pi = \frac{22}{7}\)].

    Correct Answer: Option n
    Explanation:
    (a) \(\frac{0.45 \times 0.91}{0.0117} = \frac{45 \times 91}{117}\)
    = \(5 \times 7 = 35\)
    (b) Halfway between \(1\frac{6}{7}\) and \(2\frac{11}{28}\)
    = \(\frac{1\frac{6}{7} + 2\frac{11}{28}}{2}\)
    = \((\frac{13}{7} + \frac{67}{28}) \times \frac{1}{2}\)
    = \(\frac{119}{28} \times \frac{1}{2} \)
    = \(\frac{119}{56} = 2\frac{7}{56} = 2\frac{1}{8}\)
    (c) Let the interior angle = 5x° and the exterior angle = x°.
    \(\therefore 5x° + x° = 180°\)
    \(6x° = 180° \implies x = 30°\)
    Exterior angle = \(\frac{360°}{n} \implies 30° = \frac{360°}{n}\)
    \(n = \frac{360°}{30°} = 12\)
    The polygon has 12 sides.
    (d) Length of pipe = 20 cm
    Internal diameter = 6 cm ; radius = 3cm
    External diameter = 8 cm ; radius = 4cm
    Let the external radius = R and internal radius = r
    \(\therefore\) Volume of material used = \(\pi R^{2} l - \pi r^{2} l\)
    Where l = length.
    \(Volume = \pi l (R^{2} - r^{2}) cm^{3}\)
    = \(\frac{22}{7} \times 20 (4^{2} - 3^{2}) = \frac{22}{7} \times 20 \times 7 = 440 cm^{3}\)
