Decimals
Working with Decimals
1. Decimals are a very important and particular set of fractions . They are fractions whose
denominators are powers of 10, i.e. 10, 100, 1000, 10000 etc (do not be concerned
about the meaning of 'powers of 10', you will deal with this later in the course). Decimals
are not written in the usual fraction form, but in shorthand using a decimal point.
Examples:
1 1 1
a) - = 0.1 b) = 0.01 c) = 0.001
10 100 1000
r--.
2. If you have difficulty in relating decimals to fractions, the following table may help.
1000 100 10 1 -
1 1 -1-
10 100 1000
5 3 4 6 7 9 2
Examples:
4. In addition of decimals, particular care must be taken to ensure that decimal points are
in line.
6. When multiplying decimals, ignore the decimal point until the final answer is obtained,
then count the number of decimal places in both the numbers being multiplied. This is
the number of decimal places in the answer.

Note: It does not matter which you multiply first (i.e. the 9, the 3 or the 1) providing '00' is
placed before the answer when multiplying out the 1OO's (in this case the 9) and '0' is
placed before the answer when multiplying out the 1O's (in this case the 3) So the above
calculation could have looked like this:

For example: 73 rounded to the nearest ten is 70, because 73 is closer to 70 than to 80.
Methods of Rounding
Common Method: This method is commonly used in mathematical applications, for example in
accounting. It is the one generally taught in elementary mathematics classes. This method is
also known as Symmetric Arithmetic Rounding or Round-Half-Up (Symmetric Implementation)
Examples:
3.044 rounded to hundredths is 3.04 (because the next digit, 4, is less than 5).
3.045 rounded to hundredths is 3.05 (because the next digit, 5, is 5 or more).
3.0447 rounded to hundredths is 3.04 (because the next digit, 4, is less than 5).
Examples:
2.1349 rounded to hundredths is 2.13
2.1350 rounded to hundredths is 2.14
Round to Even Method: This method is also known as unbiased rounding, convergent
rounding, statistician's rounding or bankers' rounding. It is identical to the common method of
rounding except when the digit(s) following the rounding digit start with a five and have no non-
zero digits after it. The new algorithm is:
With all rounding schemes there are two possible outcomes: increasing the rounding digit by
one or leaving it alone. With traditional rounding, if the number has a value less than the half-
way mark between the possible outcomes, it is rounded down; if the number has a value exactly
half-way or greater than half-way between the possible outcomes, it is rounded up. The round-
to-even method is the same except that numbers exactly half-way between the possible
outcomes are sometimes rounded up - sometimes down.
Although it is customary to round the number 4 .5 up to 5, in fact 4.5 is no nearer to 5 than it is to
4 (it is 0 .5 away from both).
When dealing with large sets of scientific or statistical data, where trends are important,
traditional rounding on average biases the data upwards slightly. Over a large set of data, or
when many subsequent rounding operations are performed as in digital signal processing, the
round-to-even rule tends to reduce the total rounding error, with (on average) an equal portion
of numbers rounding up as rounding down. Th is generally reduces the upwards skewing of the
result.
Round-to-even is used rather than round-to-odd as the latter rule would prevent rounding to a
result of zero.
Examples:
3.016 rounded to hundredths is 3.02 (because the next digit (6) is 6 or more)
3.013 rounded to hundredths is 3.01 (because the next digit (3) is 4 or less)
3.015 rounded to hundredths is 3.02 (because the next digit is 5, and the hundredths
digit (1) is odd)
3.045 rounded to hundredths is 3.04 (because the next digit is 5, and the hundredths
digit (4) is even)
3 .04501 rounded to hundredths is 3.05 (because the next digit is 5, but it is followed by
non-zero digits)
Significant Figures
Rounding to n significant figures is a form of rounding. Significant figures (also called significant
digits) can also refer to a crude form of error representation based around significant figure
rounding.
However, this last convention is not universally used; it is often necessary to determine from
context whether trailing zeros in a number without a decimal point are intended to be significant.
Digits may be important without being 'significant' in this usage. For instance, the zeros in '1300'
or '0.005' are not considered significant digits, but are still important as placeholders that
establish the number's magnitude. A number with all zero digits (e.g. '0.000') has no significant
digits, because the uncertainty is larger than the actual measurement.
r---- Examples:
One issue with rounding to n significant figures is that the value of n is not always clear. This
occurs when the last significant figure is a zero to the left of the decimal point. For example, in
the final example above, when 19 800 is rounded to 20 000, it is not clear from the rounded
value what n was used - n could be anything from 1 to 5. The level of rounding can be specified
explicitly. The abbreviation s.f. is sometimes used, for example "20,000 to 2 s.f."
Scientific notation could be used to reduce the ambiguity, as in (2.0 x 104 ). As always, the best
approach is to state the uncertainty separately and explicitly, as in 20,000 1%, so that
significant-figures rules do not apply.
A less common method of presenting ambiguous significant figures is underlining the last
significant figure of a number, for example "2QOOO"
Decimal Places
The precision of a value describes the number of digits that are used to express that value. In
a scientific setting this would be the total number of digits (sometimes called the significant
digits) or, less commonly, the number of fractional digits or places (the number of digits
following the point). This second definition is useful in financial and engineering applications
where the number of digits in the fractional part has particular importance.
In both cases, the term precision can be used to describe the position at which an inexact result
will be rounded. For example, in floating-point arithmetic, a result is rounded to a given or fixed
precision, which is the length of the resulting significand. In financial calculations, a number is
often rounded to a given number of places (for example, to two places after the point for many
world currencies).
As an illustration, the decimal quantity 12.345 can be expressed with various numbers of
significant digits or decimal places. If insufficient precision is available then the number is
rounded in some manner to fit the available precision. The following table shows the results for
various total precisions and decimal places, with the results rounded to nearest where ties
round up or to an even digit (the most common rounding modes).
Note that it is often not appropriate to display a figure with more digits than that which can be
measured. For instance, if a device measures to the nearest gram and gives a reading of ------.
12.345 kg, it would create false precision if you were to express this measurement as
12.34500 kg.

Calculating Mean
To find the mean, you need to add up all the data, and then divide this total by the number of
values in the data.
Calculating Median
To find the median , you need to put the values in order, then find the middle value. If there are
two values in the middle then you find the mean of these two values.
So the median is 5
This time there are two values in the middle. They have been put in brackets. The median is
found by calculating the mean of these two values: (3 + 4) -;. 2 =3.5
Calculating Mode
The mode is the value which appears the most often in the data. It is possible to have more
than one mode if there is more than one value which appears the most.
The values which appear most often are 2 and 5. They both appear more time than any of the
other data values.
This time there is only one value which appears most often- the number 3. It appears more
times than any of the other data values.
So the mode is 3
Calculating Range
To find the range, you first need to find the lowest and highest values in the data. The range is
found by subtracting the lowest value from the highest value.
The lowest value is 2 and the highest value is 8. Subtracting the lowest from the highest gives:
8-2 =6
So the range is 6
The lowest value is 2 and the highest value is 7. Subtracting the lowest from the highest
gives: ... ?- 2 = 5
~ So the range is 5

Angles
Definitions and Conversions
We can specify an angle by using a point on each ray and the vertex. The angle below may be
specified as angle ABC or as angle CBA; you may also see th is written as
L ABC or as L CBA. Note how the vertex point is always given in the middle.
c
B
Example:
Many different names exist for the same angle. For the angle below, L PBC, L PBW, L CBP,
and L WBA are all names for the same angle.

We measure the size of an angle using degrees. We can also use radians to measure angles.
The radius of a circle fits around the circumference 6.28 (or 2 ) times. 1 radian= 57.3 degrees.

Right Angles
A right angle is an angle measuring 90 degrees. Two lines or line segments that meet at a right
angle are said to be perpendicular. Note that any two right angles are supplementary angles (a
right angle is its own angle supplement).
Complementary Angles
Two angles are called complementary angles if the sum of their degree measurements equals
90 degrees. One of the complementary angles is said to be the complement of the other.
Example:
I
Note that these two angles can be "pasted" together to form a right angle!
Supplementary Angles
Two angles are called supplementary angles if the sum of their degree measurements equals
180 degrees. One of the supplementary angles is said to be the supplement of the other.
Example:
Note that these two angles can be "pasted" together to form a straight line!

Perpendicular Lines
Two lines that meet at a right angle are perpendicular. They are also said to be "normal" to each
other.

Triangles
Properties of shapes.
The 3 properties of shapes that we are going to look at are:
These properties help use to remember which shapes are which and why they are so called (in
some cases).
Let's start with a shape that has 3 sides: TRIANGLES {tri- means 3).
Definitions
r ~ Here are the triangles you are expected to know about:
1. Equilateral Triangle
2. Isosceles Triangle
3. Right- Angled Triangle
4. Scalene Triangle
Congruent and Similar are two words usually applied to triangles but can equally be applied to
other shapes.
Congruent triangles are two triangles which have equal angles and are the same size (i.e.
identical in every way) but may be oriented differently.
Similar triangles are two triangles which have the same angles but are of different size.
3. Equilateral Triangle
An equilateral triangle has got 3 sides of equal length and 3 angles that are equal.
Since ALL the angles in a triangle add up to 180Q then 180 divided by 3 must be 60Q.
4. Isosceles Triangle
An Isosceles triangle has got two sides of equal length and 2 angles equal.
What is the value of the angle at the top of this Isosceles triangle?
The answer is 80 ~ All angles in a triangle add up to 1aoso 180- (50+ 50)= so
So an isosceles triangle has only got two sides of equal length and two angles the same.
---- .
The right angled triangle contains a right angle (an angle of 90)
In a right angled triangle what must the other two angles add up to 90obecause all the angles in
a triangle add up to 180oand a Right Angled Triang le has got one angle of 90 ~

Circle
The area A of any circle is equal to the product of and the square of the radius r.
Formula: A = r2
The area A of any sector with an arc that has degree measure n and with radius r is equal to the
product of the arc's measure divided by 360 multiplied by times the square of the radius.
Regular polygons are any polygons that are equilateral and equiangular.
The area A of any regular polygon with perimeter P and apothem of measure a is equal to one-
half the product of the perimeter and the apothem.
This formula can be derived if you make 5 triangles inside the shape. The area of each triangle
is Y2 Sa ( 1/2 base x height) .
The total area is therefore 5 x Y2 Sa (in the case of the pentagon shown - the 5 only represent
the number of sides). But 5 x Sis the total perimeter of the shape, so:
Formula: A = !haP

P ::;:: 5s 5 could be anything, depending on no. of sides
The angle shown is one equal portion of 360 degrees. In the case of the pentagon , it is 360/5
= 72. Hence the internal angle of any polygon can be found by calculating the supplement of
the external angle.

There are special formulas that deal with solids, but they only deal with right prisms. Right
prisms are prisms that have two special characteristics - all lateral edges are perpendicular to
the bases, and lateral faces are rectangular. The figure below depicts a right prism.
Common Solids
The lateral area L (area of the vertical sides only) of any right prism is equal to the perimeter of
,-... the base times the height of the prism (L =Ph).
The total area T of any right prism is equal to two times the area of the base plus the lateral
area.
Formula: T 28 + Ph =

3. Pyramid Volume
A pyramid is a polyhedron with a single base and lateral faces that Q.re all triangular. All lateral
edges of a pyramid meet at a single point, or vertex.
The volume V of any pyramid with height h and a base with area 8 is equal to one-third the
product of the height and the area of the base. This applies even if the prism is not a 'right-
prism' i.e. the axis is not perpendicular to the base. The height however, is still measured
perpendicular to the base as shown below.
Formula: V = X Bh
B = wl
(Base's formula couLd change
depending on tis shap$ .)
A regular pyramid is a pyramid that has a base that is a regular polygon and with lateral faces
that are all congruent isosceles triangles.
4. Cylinder Volume
The volume V of any cylinder with radius rand height h is equal to the product of the area of a
base and the height.
Formula: V = lh

For any right circular cylinder with radius rand height h, the total surface area Tis two times the
area of the base (2 I) plus the curved surface area (2 rh).
Formula: T = 2 IC r h + 2 ?t l
6. Cone Volume
The volume V of any cone with radius rand height h is equal to one-third the product of the
r-- height and the area of the base.
Formula: V = X lh
The total surface area T of a cone with radius rand slant height I is equal to the area of the
base ( lT I) plus TC times the product of the radius and the slant height.
Formula: T = 7\T I + Tr r2
The volume Vfor any sphere with radius ris equal to four-thirds times the product of and the
cube of the radius. The area A of any sphere with radius r is equal to 4 times the square of
the radius.
