Position vector means from O so they are basically asking what is o to m
which is OA+AQ+QM
OA=a
AQ=1/2c
AND QM= 1/2 PQ which you found earlier
which is 1/2a-1/2c=PQ
now we have a+(1/2)c+(1/2a-1/2c)/2
get it ?? and then simplify
You made a mistake: QM = -1/2 PQ

It's simpler to go clockwise around the shape instead of anticlockwise like you did.

Your working is fine so I don't know why you're getting 11.7.

tan(55) x 10 = 14.3 (3sf)

Can you post exactly what buttons you are pressing on your calculator?

Well I used another calculator and it gave me 14.3 .. So i conclude the other isn´t reliable . Sorry ! tks
