(Unsupported or trial and improve answers will not receive full marks)

a) A tramper walks 1km North, then 2km East, then 3km South
and then 4km west.
What is the bearing and distance of the tramper from their
original location?
(2)

2 km south and 2km west

2.82 (3sf - or other rounding) km (1) on a bearing of 225∘ (1)

b) An irregular pentagon has angles which form a sequence.

Going clockwise round the pentagon, each interior angle
increases by a regular amount.
What is the mean size of the interior angles?
(2)
Angles are x, x+n, x+2n, x+3n, x+4n (1)
Mean is x+2n which is also median which is 108∘ (1)

c) The numerical value of the volume of a cube is the same as the

numerical value of its surface area.
Calculate the total length of all the edges.
(4)

x3=6x2 x2(x-6)=0 x=6 12 edges length =72 units

Look at the following graph

The top edge of triangle 𝑂𝐴𝐵 is bounded by the line

𝑦 = 𝑘𝑥
The other edges of triangle 𝑂𝐴𝐵 are bounded by the lines
𝑥 = 8 and 𝑦 = 2𝑥
The area of triangle 𝑂𝐴𝐵=20cm2

a) Calculate the value of 𝑘.

20 = ½ height x 8 height = 5 (1)

B is (8,21)
SL through origin so y = 21/8 x (1)
k= 21 / 8 (oe) (1)

b) Calculate the perimeter of triangle 𝑂𝐴𝐵.

𝑶𝑨 = √𝟖𝟐 + 𝟏𝟔𝟐 (1)

𝑶𝑩 = √𝟖𝟐 + 𝟐𝟏𝟐 (1)
Perimeter = 45.360…. = 45.3 cm (3sf - or reasonable rounding) (1)
Allow error carried forward from part a)
