ITEM1
Following the passing away of a grand father, the family convened a month later to
settle his estate and read his will, to which you were invited. However, a surprise
revelation emerged when the youngest child revealed a mysterious envelope left by the
grand father, containing a secretive message. The envelope contained a piece of paper
with the number 31, which needed to be converted to a ternary numeral system (base
three) to unlock the secret code to gain access to his office strongbox. But, to their
dismay, none of the family members recalled how to perform the conversion, and they
turned to you for assistance. the secret code to gain access to his office strongbox.
Upon opening the safe, they discovered a staggering 349 million shillings and a will
outlining the distribution of the wealth. The will stipulated that the grand mother was
to receive 40% of the total, the eldest son was to receive one-third of the remaining
amount, and the two younger grand children were to share the balance in a 2:3 ratio
according to their birth order. To ensure a fair and impartial distribution, your
expertise was sought once again to calculate the exact share for each beneficiary,
preventing any potential disputes or biases.
TASK;
a) Advice the family on how to unlock the safe.
b) Show, how you helped the family to receive their shares fairly.

(a) Draw a line AB of 7cm and make an angle of 135o at B measured from A.
(b) With centre at B and radius of 4cm, draw an arc to cut the 135o line at point C.
(c) Construct a perpendicular at A and on it mark a point E 5cm above A.
(d) Draw a line ED parallel and equal to AB.
