Sample WAEC WASSCE Mathematics 2026 questions

1. Two fair six-sided dice are thrown together. What is the probability that the sum of the scores is 7?
  1. 1/6
  2. 1/3
  3. 5/36
  4. 7/36

Answer: A. 1/6

Six of the 36 equally likely outcomes have a sum of 7, so the probability is 6/36 = 1/6.

2. Find the mean of 4, 7, 9, 10 and 15.
  1. 8
  2. 8.5
  3. 9
  4. 9.5

Answer: C. 9

The sum is 45 and 45 divided by 5 is 9.

3. A sector of a circle of radius 14 cm has an angle of 90 degrees at the centre. Find its arc length in terms of pi.
  1. 14pi cm
  2. 11pi cm
  3. 8pi cm
  4. 7pi cm

Answer: D. 7pi cm

The arc is one quarter of the circumference, so its length is (1/4)(2pi x 14) = 7pi cm.

4. A cylinder has radius 3 cm and height 14 cm. What is its volume in terms of pi?
  1. 126pi cm^3
  2. 42pi cm^3
  3. 84pi cm^3
  4. 252pi cm^3

Answer: A. 126pi cm^3

Using volume = pi x radius^2 x height gives pi x 3^2 x 14 = 126pi cm^3.

5. Point Q is 6 km east and 8 km north of point P. To the nearest degree, what is the bearing of Q from P?
  1. 053 degrees
  2. 037 degrees
  3. 127 degrees
  4. 143 degrees

Answer: B. 037 degrees

The clockwise angle from north is arctan(6/8), approximately 36.9 degrees, giving a bearing of 037 degrees.
