Haba, I was only joking ooo my oga, that question was so cheap but only 5 answered it correctly.
Re: Nairaland Math Quiz Winner l::::::JARYEH::::::l by AlphaMaximus(m): 1:29pm On Nov 12, 2013
Solution to the question is as follows:
The approximate area left after the removal of the two circles with maximum diameters is obtained through the subtraction of their areas from the area of the rectangle which is 16*8=128m sq
The maximum diameter possible can NEVER be greater than the width of the circle and can't be more than half the length since the circles are equal and its 8m.Thus their radii are 4m...their combined area is 2* 22/7 *4*4=approximately 101 metresq...thus the area left is 128-101=27 metresq

There is Going to be a make-up test question. I have received requests from many people who still wants to participate.
Here goes the make-up test question (application of mathematics)

The relationship between temperature in degrees celcius (oC) and degrees Fahreinheit (oF) is;

oC = 5/9 (oF - 32)

at what temperature will oC be equal to oF ?

Just post the correct answer, no workings!
Deadline is 4pm.
When this time elapses, another quiz master Doubledx will post the correct answer and the names of those who got the correct answer.

This is round one, I think we need more participants; maybe we should give one more question to allow those we are willing to participate but were not able to submit their answers before 1pm a chance to participate. My opinion!! Nice one @ Alpha! Richiez, I have sent my questions for supervision. 1luv y'all!

Warning!!!
