Haberdasher aske's boys 11plus Sample Maths Questions 2013

Post by Mittleme »

Could anyone Please help with Answers to Question for the 2013 Sample Maths Eleven plus for Haberdasher Askes Boys.

My daughters just done this and am struggling with the answers trying to re live my youth or rather I need to confirm the correct answers for all especially Questions 21-26, 30 .

Here's the link below please. think its easier rather than trying to type each question here.

Your help will be much appreciated.


Many thanks to you Maths Gurus

Could you post a link to the paper or type in the questions. Not everyone knows all papers by heart. :D

(5,3)
(9,9)
(21,22)


Q26)
Regular pentagon, a = 360/5 = 72, b = (180-72)/2 = 54
Regular hexagon, a = 360/6 = 60, b = (180-60)/2 = 60

Q30)

on nos 30. my daughter had as

Positions in Race Number of Runners
1st - 7
2nd - 6
3rd - 8
4th - 5
5th - 11
6th -12
7th - 14
8th - 10
9th - 9

You're right, I missed out 7 from my list of primes and then failed to spot that runner 5 finished in 2 positions in my answer. So, you're right, runner 7 finished in 1st position.

nyr,
Thank you for posting the answers. I am an interested (in my child's education) parent. My nephew, who is also revising for his 11+ had a different answer to the last part of question 25, it being (21,22) which I though was correct until I saw your answer. Perhaps you could elaborate on how you arrived at your answer. Many thanks and a Happy New Year!

Tagore, you're right. It should be (21,22).

Hi nyr

1. Please explain Nos 26 ( the question with five sided and 6 sided polygon)
where you have divided by 2.





i know we have been given a clue that all sides are equal .

what clue tells us the angles are equal as well( since you have divided by 2)




2. also please kindly help answer the last part of the same Question that asks for the Name of the triangle ABC?



Many Thanks

Mittleme, I assume you accept that angle a can be calculated as in my earlier answer, so we can move on to angle b and let us consider either of these polygons.

Since each corner of the pentagon (or hexagon) is equidistant to its centre, we know that AB and AC are the same length. So, the angle b and the third angle, say c, are the same - from the properties of an isosceles triangle.

The question tells us that the angles in a triangle add up to 180, so b+c=2b=180-a. Therefore b = (180-a)/2.

In the case of the regular pentagon, triangle ABC is called an isosceles triangle, where two angles and hence the length of two edges are the same.

In the case of the regular hexagon, triangle ABC is called an equilateral triangle, where all angles and hence the length of all edges are the same.

Does that help?

Thank you Once again nyr.

ok i understand all your explanation up till the last paragraph


In the case of the regular hexagon, triangle ABC is called an equilateral triangle, where all angles and hence the length of all edges are the same.




i dont mean to be thick here but i like to understand what am being taught . i have completely forgotten some of my maths and i have googled but can't find anything


My question is
so what tells me in the diagram that ABC is equilateral(of course this means where all angles and hence the length of all edges are the same.)


. is this one of the property of a regular hexagon? or does the thickened dark lines mean equal lengths?


same for the pentagon?
Thanks in anticipation
