Form 2 MathematicsForm 2 MathematicsThe diagram below represents a rectangular swimming pool 25m long and 10m wide. The sides of the pool are vertical. The floor of the pool slants uniformly such that the depth at the shallow end is 1m at the deep end is 2.8 m. (a) Calculate the volume of water required to completely fill the pool. (b) Water is allowed into the empty pool at a constant rate through an inlet pipe. It takes 9 hours for the water to just cover the entire floor of the pool. Calculate: (i) The volume of the water that just covers the floor of the pool ( 2 marks) (ii) The time needed to completely fill the remaining of the pool ( 3 marks) Form 2 Mathematics
A school water tank is in the shape of a frustum of a cone. The height of the tank is 7.2 m and the top and bottom radii are 6m and 12 m respectively.
(a) Calculate the area of the curved surface of the tank, correct to 2 decimal places. (b) Find the capacity of the tank, in litres, correct to the nearest litre. (c) On a certain day, the tank was filled with water. If the school has 500 students and each student uses an average of 40 litres of water per day, determine the number of days that the students would use the water. Form 2 MathematicsForm 2 Mathematics

A trader stocks two brands of rice A and B. The rice is packed in packets of the same size. The trader intends to order fresh supplies but his store can accommodate a maximum of 500 packets. He orders at least twice as many packets of A as of B.
He requires at least 50 packets of B and more than 250 packets of A. If he orders x packets of A and y packets of B, (a) Write the inequalities in terms of x and y which satisfy the above information. (b) On the grid provided represent the inequalities in part (a) above (c) The trader makes a profit of Ksh 12 on a packet of type A rice and Ksh 8 on a packet of type B rice. Determine the maximum profit the trader can make. Form 2 Mathematics
