Introduction
A quadratic equation is an equation in which the highest power of the unknown variable is 2. ax 2 +bx +c=0 is an
example of a quadratic equation where a , b , c ∈ R∧a ≠ 0
Types of quadratic equations
There exist 3 types of quadratic equations;
- Type 1: if b ≠ 0 , c ≠ 0 then the equation becomes ax 2 +bx +c=0
- Type 2: if b=0 , c ≠ 0 then the equation becomes ax 2 +c=0
- Type 3: if b ≠ 0 , c=0 then the equation becomes ax 2 +bx=0
Examples
Which of the following are quadratic equations?
1. x 2−2 x+3=0
2. ( x−2)2=0
3. (x−2)2=x 2

Solution to quadratic equations
The following are different methods for solving quadratic equations.
1. Factorization method
The factors of a function (or equation) f are the values of x such that f ( x )=0. Thus a quadratic equation
2 2
f ( x )=ax + bx+ c has at most two factors. To get the factors of f ( x )=ax + bx+ c , we mentally find two real
factors such that the numbers sum up to give b and when multiplied gives ac .
Examples
Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization method
1. x 2+ 6 x+5=0
2. f ( x )=x 2−x
3. 3 x 2−x−2=0
4. 2 x 2+5 x +2=0
Assignments
Solve for x the following equation by factorization method
1. x 2+ 4 x +3=0
2. 2 x−6 x 2=0
3. f ( x )=x 2 +8 x +16
4. f ( x )=x 2−9
5. x 2−3 x=0
2) Formula method
We can solve for x in ax 2 +bx +c=0 by using the formula method. According to this method, if
2 −b ± √ b2−4 ac
ax +bx +c=0 the x=
2a
 This formula is got by completing the square of ax 2 +bx +c=0
Examples
Find the values of x by formula method that satisfy the equations below
1. 2 x 2−5 x −3=0
2. x 2−6 x +5=0

Assignments
Use quadratic formula to solve the following quadratic equations
1. x 2+ 4 x−8=0
2. 2 y 2−6 y−3=0
3. x 2−6=0
3) Completing the square

Lesson 2: Polynomials
Objectives: By the end of this lesson students should be able to know
- A polynomial
- How to add and subtract polynomials
- How to multiply and divide polynomials
- How to factorize polynomials

A. Introduction
n n−1 1
A polynomial is an expression of the form f ( x )=an x + an−1 x +…+ a1 x +a 0 , where a n , a n−1 , … , a1 , a0 are
constants. When we write a polynomial as f (x) we mean f is a function of x. the degree or power of a polynomial
is the power of the highest variable or unknown denoted as deg. If our polynomial is f (x), then the degree is
denoted as degf
Examples
1. If f ( x )=2 x 2 +3 x+2 , then degf =2
n n−1 1
2. If h ( x )=a n x +a n−1 x + …+a 1 x + a0 , with an ≠ 0 , the n degh=n
A- Addition and subtraction of polynomials
To add or subtract two or more polynomials, we add or subtract the coefficients of like powers of the variables.
Examples
1. Given that f ( x )=2 x 3 +3 x2 +5 x +4∧g ( x )=x 3 +4 x 2 + x +3 , find
a) f ( x ) + g(x )
b) f ( x )−g (x)
c) g ( x )−f (x)
Assignments
Given that f ( x )=5 x 4 +5 x 2 +4 x +3 , g ( x )=2 x 3 +3 x−6∧h ( x )=x 4 −3 x 3 +5 x−3, find
1. f ( x ) + g(x )
2. f ( x ) + g ( x )+ h(x )
3. g ( x )−f (x)
4. h ( x )−f ( x)
5. f ( x )−h ( x )
B- Multiplication of a polynomial by a binomial
A binomial is a two term expression. To multiply any polynomial by a binomial, we take one term from the
binomial and multiply by each term of the polynomial. We continue this process until the elements of the
binomial are exhausted and vice versa.
Examples
If f ( x )=5 x 3 +2 x2 +3 x +1∧g ( x )=x +5 , find g (x) × f ( x)
Assignments
Multiply the following;
1. f ( x )=2 x 3−4 x 2+5 x−2∧g ( x )=x+7
2. h ( x )=2 x+ 3∧ p ( x )=5 x 3+ 2 x 2−4 x+ 2
3. m ( x ) =x 2+2 x +5∧n ( x )=2 x 3 +2 x 2 +3
C- Algebraic division
When we divide polynomials with other expressions containing the same variables, we obtain an answer and a
f (x )
remainder. This remainder could be zero or non-zero. ln an algebraic division, we have =h ( x ) + R . Here,
g (x)
f (x) is called the dividend, g(x ) the divisor, h( x)the quotient and R the remainder. For division, the degree or
power of the dividend must be greater than or equal to the degree or power of the divisor (ie degf ≥ degg)
When the divisor is a monomial: A monomial is a single term expression. eg x ,2 x ,5 x , x 2 ,2 x 3 etc. to divide a
polynomial by a monomial, we divide each term of the polynomial by the monomial .
Examples
1. f ( x )=12 x 3 +8 x 2+ x +1 , find f (x )÷ 4 x
2. Divide f ( x ) by x 2 where f ( x )=8 x 6−3 x 4 + x 3 +2
When the divisor is not a monomial: In this case we use the method of long division in the same way that we
carry out long division of numbers.
Examples
1. Given that f ( x )=x 3−5 x 2 +11 x−10 , find f ( x )÷ ( x−2)
2. Divide x 3 +4 x 2 +7 x +2 by (x+2)
Solution
Assignments
1. Divide 15 x 5−6 x 4 +18 x 3+ 4 by 3 x
2. f ( x )=2 x 3 +3 x2 −1, find f ( x) ÷( x +1)
3. Divide 2 x3 −x 2+ x−1 by (2 x−1)
D- The remainder theorem: The remainder theorem enables us to find the remainder when an expression
is divided by a single divisor (ie degree of 1), without carrying out actual division. When an expression
in x, is divided by (x – a), the remainder, R is obtained by substituting x = a in the given expression.
Thus this theorem can be stated as when a polynomial, f (x) is divided by the expression (x = a), then
the remainder R is given by R=f (a). Note that x = a comes from c – a = 0
Examples
1. Show that (x−2) is a factor of f ( x ) , where f ( x )=x 2−3 x+ 2
2. Given that ( x−1 ) is a factor of g ( x ) , where g ( x )=2 x 3 +3 x 2+ kx +4 . Find the value of k.
3. Find one factor of the expression f ( x )=x 2 +10 x−24
Assignments
Textbook
E- Factorization of polynomials: Given any polynomial, we can always find a factor, if it exists by using
the “trial and error” method and the factor theorem. To find the other factors (to factorize completely),
we divide the polynomial by known factor to obtain a trinomial (quadratic). This trinomial is factorized
by any of the methods of solving quadratic equations.
Examples
1. Given that (x +2) is a factor of the polynomial f ( x ) , where f ( x )=x 3 +4 x 2 +5 x+ 2. Factorize f (x)
completely.

Introduction
- A sequence is a set of terms in a defined order with a role of obtaining the terms. eg 2, 4, 6, 8, …, and 1, 2,
3, 4, … etc. There are two types of sequences: finite and infinite sequence
 Finite sequence is a sequence in which the terms are definite (ie there is a last term)
  Infinite sequence is a sequence in which the terms are indefinite (i e there is no last term)
- Series: the terms of a sequence are added to form a series. eg 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + …
- Arithmetic progression is a sequence in which each term except the first is obtained from the previous by
adding a constant value, known as the common difference of the arithmetic progression

Do the following
a) A + B
b) A – B given that A=2i−5 j∧B=−6 i− j
Summary
Property: Transformation is the replacement of the variables in an algebraic expression by their values in terms of
another set of variables OR a mapping of one space onto another or onto itself OR a function that changes the
position or direction of the axes of a coordinate system.
Remark
- In this chapter, we will need the notion of matrices and displacement vectors to solve problems by
graphical and algebraic methods.
- A displacement vector describes a change in position ie move from one point to another.
- When we want to add or subtract column vectors, we add or subtract their corresponding components. ie if

A=

- If M is the matrix of transformation from object A to image A1 then A1 = MA and not A1 = AM
- A column vector describes a transformation. eg that on a straight line from one point to the other by
addition ie A1 = M + A for a column vector

Correction of assignments
Problem situation
What do you always notice when you stand in front of a mirror?
Solution
- You always see yourself in the opposite side
- You left hand becomes your right hand
- The distance from where you are standing to the mirror is the same as the distance from the mirror to the
image
Activity

2. Plot the following points A(2, 2) and B(2, - 2).
3. What have you notice about the two points with respect to the line x (or x-axis)?
Summary
Property: Reflection is when a point or an object is changed into its mirror image.
Remark
- To obtain or describe a reflection, the position of the mirror line must be known. The following properties
are take into consideration when dealing with reflection;
 The line joining a point (x, y) to the reflected image (x1, y1) is perpendicular to the mirror line
 A point and its image are the same distances from the mirror line. They are on opposite sides of the
mirror line
 Points on the mirror line are unchanged. The mirror line is call the invariant or constant line of the
transformation
 The image of a figure formed by reflection is oppositely congruent to the original figure
- Problems involving reflection can be solve by drawing or by using a matrix of reflection. ie since we are
reflecting on the x-axis, it implies that the x-coordinates remains unchanged and the y-coordinates changes
sign. eg ( 2 , 3 ) → ( 2 ,−3 ) , (−5 ,−1 ) → (−5 ,1 ) etc . In general (x , y )→(x ,− y) . The matrix of
transformation is found as shown on the figure below;
In the figure above the point A(1, 0) is on the mirror line and so it is reflected to itself and is unchanged. The point
B(0, 1) is reflected to the point B1(0, - 1) ie ( 1 , 0 ) → ( 1 , 0 )∧(0 , 1)→(0 ,−1).

Suppose the matrix of transformation is M then M = (10 −10 )∧M (10 01)=( 10 −10 )

Remark
- To obtain or describe a reflection, the position of the mirror line must be known. The following properties
are taken into consideration when dealing with reflection;
 The line joining a point (x, y) to the reflected image (x1, y1) is perpendicular to the mirror line
 A point and its image are the same distances from the mirror line. They are on opposite sides of the
mirror line
 Points on the mirror line are unchanged. The mirror line is call the invariant or constant line of the

 The image of a figure formed by reflection is oppositely congruent to the original figure
- Problems involving reflection can be solve by drawing or by using a matrix of reflection. ie since we are
reflecting on the y-axis, it implies that the y-coordinates remains unchanged and the x-coordinates changes
 sign. eg ( 5 , 3 ) → (−5 , 3 ) , (−8 ,−3 ) → ( 8 ,−3 ) etc . In general (x , y )→(−x , y ). The matrix of
transformation is found as shown on the figure below;

In the figure above the point A(1, 0) reflected to the point A 1(- 1, 0). The point B(0, 1) is on the mirror line and is

Summary
Property: A stretch is a type of transformation that changes the shape of the transformed figure and a shear is a
transformation which changes a rectangle into a parallelogram of the same height
Remark
- A stretch parallel to the x-axis which increases the x-coordinates at a point K times the original value but
leaves the y-coordinates unchanged. The matrix of transformation is thus S x = ( k0 01) , k ∈ R for any point
(x, y), we have S x ( xy)=( k0 01)( xy)=( kxy)
- Similarly a stretch parallel to the y-axis increases the y-coordinates at any point and leaves the x-
coordinates unchanged. The matrix of transformation is thus S y = (10 0k ) , k ∈ R for any point (x, y), we
have S y ( xy)=(10 0k )( xy )=(kyx )
- The area of a stretch figure (image) is K times that of the original figure (object), where K is the stretch
factor
- A shear maps parallel lines to parallel lines ie it changes a rectangle to a parallelogram
 - A matrix describing a shear and leaving x-axis invariant is always (10 k1) where K is the shear factor and
on the other hand, a matrix describing a shear and leaving the y-axis invariant is always (

Topic 9: GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION

Lesson 9.1: Mathematical set of instruments
Objectives: By the end of this lesson students should be able to identify all the instruments in a mathematical set
and their uses.
Introduction
The mathematical set consist the required set of instruments;
1. A ruler: A ruler is graduated in millimetres (mm) and centimetres (cm). so distances in mm and cm can be
measured accurately.
2. A divider: This is an instrument with two pointed ends, where the space between them can be varied. It is
mainly used to transfer distances from one figure t another without necessarily measuring the distance with
a ruler. With the pair of divider, you can also mark a distance on your ruler and transfer it on paper.
3. A compass: This instrument is used in drawing circles. It is similar to a divider with the only different
being that the compass has one pointed end and the other end has a well-sharpened short pencil.
4. A protractor: A protractor is an instrument use for measuring angles.
Note: When you want to draw an angle;
- First draw a straight line from which the angle is to be drawn. This line must be more than the diameter of
the protractor.
- Mark a point on the straight line which shall be the vertex of the angle.
- Place the protractor with the straight edge carrying the 0 0 and 1800 mark on the straight line. The point
marked on the line should coincide with the line carrying 900.
- On the curve edge of the protractor, mark the point which falls on the angle to be drawn.
- Remove the protractor and join the two points using a ruler.
5. The setsquare: There are two setsquares in a mathematical set. They are described with respect to their
slant angles. There is the 45 0 – 450 setsquare, where the two slants are at 45 0 each to the horizontal side and
300 – 600 setsquare, where the two slants are at 30 0 and 600 respectively to the horizontal side. These
instruments are used to quickly measure the common angles 300, 450 and 600 without using a protractor.

Lesson 9.2: Bisection

Objectives: By the end of this lesson students should be able to know how to bisect a line and an angle.
Introduction
Looking at the word bisection, we think of bi (meaning two) and section. So bisection simply means dividing into
two equal parts. We shall talk of angle bisection, line bisection and perpendicular bisection.
a) Line bisection: A line can be divided into two equal parts without necessarily measuring the length and
dividing by 2. A compass is enough for us to quickly bisect a line. The following steps are used in bisecting
a line and also to draw a perpendicular bisector;
- Draw the line AB
- Open your compass more than half the distance AB
- From the point A and B, and with equal radii, draw arcs to cut each other above and below the line AB at
point P and point Q
- Use a ruler to link up P and Q through N. N is the midpoint of AB
b) Bisecting angles: Dividing a given angle in to two equal parts can be easily done without the use of a
protractor. The following steps may be followed;
- Draw the angle
- Open up the compass to any length less than each of the sides of the angle (ie not greater than BC and BA).
Taking the vertex point B as the centre, draw an arc to cut through the sides at point N and point M
- From point N and point M, and with equal radii, draw suitable arcs to intersect at point T
- Finally draw a line passing through the vertex B and the point T. this line BT divides the angle ABC into
two equal parts, in other words it bisects the angle. Hence, ∠ CBT =∠ TBA
c) Perpendicular bisector: In this case, we are given a straight line and a point to draw the perpendicular line
to the straight line, passing through the given point. We shall consider two cases. In the first case, the point
is found on the line and the second case the point is found out of the line.
Case 1: Draw a perpendicular through a point P on the line;
- Draw a line with P on it
- With the point P as the centre, draw a suitable semi-circle to cut the line through two points G and H. in
this case where the point P is nearer to the end of the given line, you can extend the line so that the semi-
circle cuts the line in two points
- Draw suitable arcs using the point G and the point H as centres and with equal radii. Mark the point of
intersection N of the two arcs
- Draw a line to joint P and N. this line is perpendicular to the line GH at P
Case 2: Drawing a perpendicular through a point P out of the line;
- Draw a line with point P above it
- Draw a suitable arc with centre P to cut the line at point M and point N
- Take the points M and N as centres and with equal radii, draw suitable arcs to intersect at a point L on the
opposite side of P
- Finally, connect the points P and L to get line PL as the perpendicular from point P to the line
Exercise

Lesson 9.3: Construction of some simple geometric figures

Objectives: By the end of this lesson students should be able to know how to construct some geometric figures
Introduction
Here, we are going to look at the construction of some triangles. Below are some few cases.
a) Case 1: Constructing a triangle given the lengths of the 3 sides
Example
Construct a triangle ABC with sides AB = 5cm, BC = 2cm, and AC = 6cm.
Procedure:
- Mark a point A on your paper to be the starting point of your construction,
- Open up your compass t the length of AB ie 5cm. draw an arc ,
- On point B, open your compass to length BC = 2cm and draw an arc,
- On point A, open your compass to length AC = 6cm and draw the arc. Where the two arcs intersect, mark
the point C,
- Finally, join the points A, B, and C to produce the required triangle.
b) Case 2: Constructing a triangle given the lengths of two sides and an angle
Example
Construct a triangle ABC, with AB = 4cm, AC = 5.4cm and angle ABC =1200
Procedure
- Draw the line AB = 4cm,
- From the point B, contrast an angle of 1200 to the line AB and extend the line to a point T,
- From point A, open your compass to length 5.4cm and draw an arc to cut through the line BT. That point of
intersection is the point C,
- You now draw out the triangle by joining these points.
c) Case 3: Constructing an equilateral triangle
Procedure
- Draw a straight line AB,
- Construct an angle of 600 at A, with centre at A and any convenient radius less than |AB|,
- Draw an arc t cut AB at P,
- With centre at P and same radius, draw an arc cutting the first arc and named the point of intersection Q,
- Link with a ruler the points A, P and Q to have an equilateral triangle and hence internal angles 60 0.
Case 4: Constructing a right-angled triangle
Example
Draw a right-angled triangle ABC with the right angle at B given that the hypotenuse AB = 6cm, and one side
BC = 5cm.
Procedure
- Draw a semi-circle with diameter equal the base length AB of the triangle,
- With centre at B and with a radius 5cm, draw an arc to cut the semi-circle and named the point C,
- Trace out the triangle ABC and measure the angles with your protractor.

Lesson 9.4: Inscribing and circumscribing circles

Objectives: By the end of this lesson students should be able to know how to inscribe and circumscribe a circle
Introduction
Inscribing a circle means putting a circle in a given polygon, with the circle touching all the edges of the polygon
and circumscribing a circle means making it to round a polygon while touching at least two vertices of the polygon.
Example
1. Inscribe a circle to touch all the sides of an equilateral triangle of side 4.5cm
Procedure
- Construct the equilateral triangle,
- Bisect any two angles and stretch the lines of bisection. Where these two lines meet is the centre of the
inscribed circle,
- Open your compass to touch one edge of the triangle and trace out the circle
2. Circumscribe a circle to touch each side of a triangle ABC with AB = 4cm, BC = 5cm and AC = 3cm
 Procedure
- First construct the triangle,
- Draw perpendicular bisectors to any two sides, say AB and AC,
- Stretch the perpendiculars until they meet. The point where they meet is the centre of the circumscribed
circle. From this point, open your compass to touch one vertex of the triangle and trace the circle.

Topic 11: CIRCLES

Lesson 11.1: Definition of terms and conversion of angles
Objective: At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to know the different part of a circle and how ot
convert angles to their different units
Introduction
A circle is a set of points which are equidistant from the centre. See the figure below

The centre of the circle above is point O.

1. Radius(r): It is the distance from the centre of the circle to any point on the circumference. All dradius of a
circle are congruent. eg OA = OB = OC =OD = r
2. Circumference(c): This is the distance round a circle. That is c=2 πr∨c=πd
3. Tangent: It is a line that touches the circle at one point. That is line GEF.
 4. Chord: It is any line that touches the circumference of a circle at two points. That is the line AB and CD.
5. Diameter(d): It is a chord that passes through the centre of a circle. That is CD is a diameter d = CD = CO
+ OD = r + r = 2r
6. Arc: An arc is any part of the circumference. The part AB of the circumference is called an arc.
7. Sector: A sector of a circle is any region bounded by two radii and the corresponding arc.
8. Segment: A segment is any region bounded by a chord and its corresponding arc. From the figure above
the chord AB divides the centre into two segments. The one above is called the minor segment and the one
below is called the major segment.
Area of a segment = area of sector – area of triangle AOB
9. Semi-circle: It is a region bounded by the diameter and its corresponding arc.
Conversion of angles

Lesson 11.3: Angles (theorems and corollaries)

Objective: At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to;
- Master the theorems and corollaries of a circle
- Use theorems and corollaries in solving questions in circles
Introduction
Remember that an angle is the amount of turn between two lines. We shall treat cases of angles at the centre and at
the circumference. Some theorems and corollaries are stated below;
Theorem 1: The angle which an arc subtends at the centre is twice the angle it subtends anywhere on the
circumference.

In figure 1 above θ=2 α and in figure 2 above θ=2 α=2 β eg if α =60 0 implies θ=1200
Corollary 1: Angles formed in the same segment are equal. That is from figure 2 above α ∧β are equal. α =β eg
if α =30 0 implies β=30 0
Corollary 2: The angle subtended by two chords which intersect at the circumference is half the arc angle. ie

1
In figure 3 above supposes AB = α then θ= α
2
Corollary 3: The angle formed by the tangent of a circle and a chord is half the angle subtended at the centre by
the chord.
 α
In figure 4 above supposes angle AOB=α ∧angle ABC =θ thenθ=
2
Corollary 4: The angle formed by a diameter and a tangent at the point where the tangent meet the circle is 90 0.
This is clear since arc AB = 1800 (half the angle at the centre)

A quadrilateral is a four-sided figure and a cyclic quadrilateral is one that is inscribed in a circle. Opposite angles in
a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary (ie 1800)

0
In figure 5 above α 1+ α 2 =β1 + β 2=180
Theorem 2: A chord that is bisected by a line from the centre of a circle forms an angle of 90 0. That is

In figure 6 above OB bisects AC(chord) then AC ⊥OB (AC perpendicular to OB)

Topic 12: NETWORKS

Lesson 12.1: Networks
Objective: At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to;
- Define network
- Differentiate between edges and vertices
- Know how to calculate the shortest distance in a network
- Differentiate between odd and even nodes
- Know the transversal network
- Came out with a matrix related to a network
12.1.1. Introduction: Network is any interconnected group or system. In a network where boundaries meet is
called a vertex (or node) and part of the boundaries between two vertices is called an edge (or an arc).
Each node may be a settlement or junction. A drawing of network diagram or a graph is a pictorial
representation of the vertices and edges of the graph. See the graph below;
 12.1.2. Shortest distance: Networks are not drawn to scale. Often numbers are written on the arcs.
They could represent the distances, times, or cost of each arc. eg below is the network of Atta
market

Given that the distances are measured in meters(m). find the shortest distance from A to E
Solution
Route Distance Total distance from A to E
A to B to C to E 100 + 80 + 70 250m
A to B to D to E 100 + 90 + 90 280m
A to D to E 130 + 90 220m
A to D to F to E 130 + 110 + 90 330m
Therefore, the shortest distance is 220m passing through the route A to D to E.
Exercise
1. Given the number of nodes and arcs from the networks below

2. The following network show time in minutes. What is the shortest time from A to C?

12.1.3. Connected networks and regions:

 This is an example of a connected network. Each node is connected by arcs to at least one other node. It is
possible to pass between any pair of nodes by travelling along the arcs.

This network is disconnected because it is not possible to pass from P to R or from Q to R by travelling along arcs.
In networks, the arcs which connect a node to itself like in D and S are called loops. The arc split the network into
region s. the area outside the arcs is counted as a region. The network above has 5 regions
Exercise
Fill in the table below for the following connected networks

Network No of nodes(N) No of regions(R) No of arcs(A) N+R-A

a) 1 2 1 2
b) 2 2 2 2
c) 3 2 3 2
d) 4 2 4 2
e) 4 4 6 2
f) 6 4 8 2

12.1.4. Odd and event nodes: The number of arcs which meet a node is called the degree of the node.
An odd node has an odd number of arcs meeting at it. An even node has an even number of
arcs meeting at it.
Examples
How many odd nodes and even nodes are in the networks below?

Solution
 a) 4 odd nodes of degree 3
1 even node of degree 2
b) 4 odd nodes of degree 3
1 even node of degree 4
Assignments
Fill in the table below for the following connected networks.

Network No of odd nodes No of even nodes

a) 2 3
b) 2 2
c) 4 1
d) 0 7

12.1.5. Traversable network: A network is traversable if there is a route which covers each path
once and only once. This means you cannot draw over an arc more than once or lift your pencil
off the drawing.
Examples
Say whether the following networks are traversable.

Solution
a) Not traversable
b) Traversable

Assignments
1. The mayor of Bankim will like the Christmas parade to trace along the streets in the centre of the town only
once. Show a possible route for the parade using the network of the streets and intersections.

2. The street cleaner of Bamenda town wants his truck to travel along each street only once. Explain how this
is possible for the network which represents the streets and intersections.
 12.1.6. Matrices related to network: Below is a figure that has three nodes A, B, and C, four regions
a, b, c, and d and five arcs linking various nodes.

A one-stage-route between two nodes of a network is defined as a route which does not passes through any other
node. Copy and complete the 3by3 matrix M which shows the number of different one-stage-route between each of
the nodes of the network shown above.

Topic 13: THE EARTH AS A SPHERE
Objective:By the end of this chapter, students should be able to;
- Define Great circle, Equator, Meridian, parallel of latitude, longitude and time
- Calculate GMT and local time , Position of a place on the surface of the earth, Angular distance between
two points on the earth, Shortest distance between two points on the earth
Control of prerequisite
Knowledge on circles and sphere
13.1. Introduction: The earth’s shape is like a sphere. See the figure below;

- The equator is an imaginary line that runs from East to West. See line AB. It divides the earth into two
hemispheres; the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. This equator is also defined as 0 0
latitude.
- Latitudes are lines that run from East to West. These lines are parallel that is the spaces between them are
the same. They range from 9 0 0 at the North Pole to −90 0 at the South Pole. From the figure above, C is
the North Pole and D is the South Pole.
- The meridians or lines of longitude runs from North to South and converge at the North Pole and the South
Pole. The prime meridian is defined as the 0 0 longitude and its divide the earth into the eastern hemisphere
and the western hemisphere. Meridians are lines of constant longitude and they are perpendicular to lines
of latitude.
