helpppppppp

ok question 12 first of the paper u gave.
12 a) corresponding interior angles in parallel lines are supplementary. In English, it means that if u have two angles between two parallel lines( DC and EF ), their sum will be 180. So FED = 109, so EDC= 180-109=71
Because u got EDC u can also find BCD using the same concept: 180-71= 109

For the next question u gotto know this formula (n-2)*180 = sum of all interior angles. (n is the number of sides the polygon has, in this case 6 cuz the question says its a hexagon)
So u got all angles except FAB and ABC. The question also says FAB and ABC are equal.
(6-2)*180=540
540=95+109+71+109+2x
x=78
FAB= 78 ............ hope the answer is correct according to the mark scheme


Btw before i answer the area thingy which past paper is it in?

for one, on my calculator i get the answer as 1 0.0
and two, do you know how to do it manually? please explain if you do :)
thankss :)
i did my add maths in oct/nov11
you guys dont have logs in normal maths

think of it as what power of 10 will give you the answer 1
anything with power 0 is 1

take a function like 2power x
the inverse will be log base 2 of given x
if they give x as 4 for this function
the question means what power of 2 will give the answer 4 so the answer is 2

the thing is its not part of the IG syllabus
thats why its for only 1 mark
such questions are included just to separate normal candidates from those expecting distinctions
there is always 1 or 2 such questions in the paper that are a bit tricky
if there is no such question than the threshold is very high for those years

you can google to see how to use logs
these questions just need a basic idea

Hello there okay so i was doing o/n 22 number 12 and i got 200 by doing this( 0.5*10*40) but when i looked at the mark scheme it says its 80 can somebody explain it to me howw

--------------------------------
i think i got it
u can get RS which is (( -r+3q )) then M in the midpoint so it needs only half the distance so divide it all by 2 not only -r
plz tell me if u got it :) hope i helped :)

thanks for your answer of course, but wait, so according to you, MS is half of RS? I don't think that's right...

ur supposed to find the distance travelled by the small car then the distance travelled by the large car and subtract.
1) distance of small car = area of trapezoid
therefore: distance = 0.5*(4+10)*40
= 280
2) distance of large car = area of triangle
therefore: distance = 0.5*40*10
= 200
3) subtract both
therefore: =280-200
= 80
hope u got it!! :D

you should first find the distance of the small car :
distance = area under the graph
area of triangle + area of rectangle
1/2 *6*40 + 4*40 =280

now find the distance of large car

area of triangle = 1/2 *10*40 = 200

now subtract both the car distance = 280 -200 =80
