Sample NECO SSCE Mathematics 2004 questions

1. The bearing of Q from P is 074°. What is the bearing of P from Q?
  1. 254°
  2. 106°
  3. 164°
  4. 286°

Answer: A. 254°

The reverse bearing is 074° + 180° = 254°.

2. Each interior angle of a regular polygon is 150°. How many sides does the polygon have?
  1. 10
  2. 12
  3. 15
  4. 18

Answer: B. 12

Its exterior angle is 30°, so the number of sides is 360°/30° = 12.

3. A trapezium has parallel sides of lengths 8 cm and 14 cm and a perpendicular height of 5 cm. Find its area.
  1. 45 cm^2
  2. 50 cm^2
  3. 55 cm^2
  4. 70 cm^2

Answer: C. 55 cm^2

The area is one-half × (8 + 14) × 5 = 55 cm^2.

4. A cylinder has radius 3 cm and height 7 cm. What is its volume in terms of π?
  1. 21π cm^3
  2. 42π cm^3
  3. 49π cm^3
  4. 63π cm^3

Answer: D. 63π cm^3

The volume is πr^2h = π × 3^2 × 7 = 63π cm^3.

5. For an acute angle θ, tan θ = 3/4. What is sin θ?
  1. 3/5
  2. 4/5
  3. 3/4
  4. 4/3

Answer: A. 3/5

The opposite and adjacent sides are in the ratio 3:4, giving hypotenuse 5 and sin θ = 3/5.
