A:
Answer:2. C) 21.2 yd    3. B) angle IQL    4. B) 55 degreeStep-by-step explanation:2. The area of an equilateral triangle is given by,A = [tex]\frac {\sqrt{3} \times a^{2}}{4}[/tex]------(1)  where a = length of each side.Here, a = 7 ydso , putting a = 7 yd in (1) , we get,A = [tex]\frac {\sqrt{3} \times 49}{4}[/tex]  sq. yd.   [tex]\simeq 21.2[/tex] sq. yd.3. B) angle IQL4. Let, the centre of the circle be at O,then, ∠DOB = 105°  and ∠BOC = 145° (given)so, ∠OBD = [tex]\frac{180^{\circ} - \angle DOB}{2}[/tex]                 = [tex]\frac{180^{\circ} - 105^{\circ}}{2}[/tex]                 = 37.5°  [since the sum of three angles of a triangle  is 180° and OB and OD are two radii of the same circle] and, similarly, ∠OBC = [tex]\frac{180^{\circ} - \angle COB}{2}[/tex]                 = [tex]\frac{180^{\circ} - 145^{\circ}}{2}[/tex]                 = 17.5° [since the sum of three angles of a triangle  is 180° and OB and OC are two radii of the same circle] so,  ∠CBD = ∠OBD + ∠OBC                  = 37.5° + 17.5°                  = 55°
