Sample NECO SSCE Mathematics 2022 questions

1. Three angles of a quadrilateral are 85 degrees, 102 degrees and 91 degrees; what is the fourth angle?
  1. 82 degrees
  2. 78 degrees
  3. 92 degrees
  4. 98 degrees

Answer: A. 82 degrees

The angles of a quadrilateral sum to 360 degrees, so the fourth angle is 360 - 85 - 102 - 91 = 82 degrees.

2. Find the circumference of a circle of radius 7 cm, taking pi as 22/7.
  1. 22 cm
  2. 44 cm
  3. 49 cm
  4. 154 cm

Answer: B. 44 cm

The circumference is 2*pi*r = 2*(22/7)*7 = 44 cm.

3. A triangle has base 12 cm and perpendicular height 9 cm; what is its area?
  1. 21 cm^2
  2. 48 cm^2
  3. 54 cm^2
  4. 108 cm^2

Answer: C. 54 cm^2

The area is half the product of base and height, giving (12*9)/2 = 54 cm^2.

4. A cylinder has radius 3 cm and height 10 cm; what is its volume, taking pi as 3.14?
  1. 94.2 cm^3
  2. 188.4 cm^3
  3. 300 cm^3
  4. 282.6 cm^3

Answer: D. 282.6 cm^3

The cylinder's volume is pi*r^2*h = 3.14*9*10 = 282.6 cm^3.

5. The bearing of point P from point O is 065 degrees; what is the bearing of O from P?
  1. 245 degrees
  2. 155 degrees
  3. 295 degrees
  4. 335 degrees

Answer: A. 245 degrees

The reverse bearing is found by adding 180 degrees, so 065 + 180 = 245 degrees.
