NAME: ………………………………………………………

Instructions
• Do not open this examination paper until instructed to do so.
• A graphic display calculator is required for this paper.
• Answer all questions in the space provided. Additional paper is available should you need it.
• Unless otherwise stated in the question, all numerical answers should be given exactly or to three
significant figures.
• A clean copy of the formula booklet is required for this paper.
• The maximum mark for this paper is: 51
Answers must be written within the answer boxes provided. Full marks are not necessarily awarded for a correct answer
with no working. Answers must be supported by working and/or explanations. Solutions found from a graphic display
calculator should be supported by suitable working. For example, if graphs are used to find a solution, you should sketch
these as part of your answer. Where an answer is incorrect, some marks may be given for a correct method, provided this
is shown by written working. You are therefore advised to show all working.

Ani owns four cafes represented by points 𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶 and 𝐷. Ani wants to divide the area into delivery
regions. This process has been started in the following incomplete Voronoi diagram, where 1 unit
represents 1 kilometre.

The midpoint of 𝐶𝐷 is (5.5, 1.5).

(a) Show that the equation of the perpendicular bisector of [𝐶𝐷] is 𝑦 = −3𝑥 + 18. [3]

(b) Complete the Voronoi diagram shown above. [1]

Ani opens an office equidistant from three of the cafes, 𝐵, 𝐶 and 𝐷. The equation of the perpendicular
bisector of [𝐵𝐶] is 3𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 1.5.

(c) Find the coordinates of the office. [2]

The Voronoi diagram below shows four supermarkets represented by points with coordinates A(0, 0),
B(6, 0), C(0, 6) and D(2, 2). The vertices X, Y, Z are also shown. All distances are measured in
kilometres.

(a) Find the midpoint of [BD]. [2]

(b) Find the equation of (XZ). [4]

The equation of (XY) is 𝑦 = 2 − 𝑥 and the equation of (YZ) is 𝑦 = 0.5𝑥 + 3.5.

(c) Find the coordinates of X. [3]

The coordinates of Y are (−1, 3) and the coordinates of Z are (7, 7).
(d) Determine the exact length of [YZ]. [2]
(e) Given that the exact length of [XY] is √32, find the size of XŶZ in degrees. [4]
(f) Hence find the area of triangle XYZ. [2]

A town planner believes that the larger the area of the Voronoi cell XYZ, the more people will shop at
supermarket D.
(g) State one criticism of this interpretation. [1]

A food scientist measures the weights of 760 potatoes taken from a single field and the distribution of the
weights is shown by the cumulative frequency curve below.

(a) Find the number of potatoes in the sample with a weight of more than 200 grams. [2]

(b.i) Find the median weight. [1]
