see,square of ratio of lenghs of two similar shapes is same as the ratio of their area,right?
now,in this figure we can make the ratio of areas to get lenghs' ratio,which is formed as given above,..
hope u understand it now...
got it:)

Some tips Regarding P2's!

  • make sure u have read the question correct. double or triple read the instructions at the start to understand what the question is about.
  • also, read every part question very carefully, even the ones that seem real easy such as finding the surface area and stuff. the question might be asking about only a part of the surface area or something like that
  • make sure you read the units correctly. m, km, mm, cm are most easiest to confuse!
  • do not go for approximation in figures involving angles. be patient, and work out a way of finding the angle.never everuse a protractor for measuring angles unless it is specified!
  • be very cautious in questions involving 3D figures. see which dimensions you would have to use to find the surface area, volume, etc
  • in graphs, dont use a ruler to draw curves, or even a part of it! they ask for freehand and if u use a ruler any part of your curve, you lose a mark! In a curve, two points or more can never be connected by a straight line!(that's why it is a curve!)

q8 everything explain
u see,after every year,valus of$25 increases by three..,after 8 years,it is 62...
now,when the initial investment is $500,it is equal to $25*20...
hence the value after 8 years will be 62*20=$1240.
for the next portion of graph,u just need 2 plot the x and y corresponding points and answer the questions while using ur graph...............

do inform if u do not get the graph portion,i'll explain further after drawing it myself,though have my own paper2 tomorrow:)

want to ask one thing. in circle questions where angle is to be found which is usually about 1 mark should we write down the answer straight away or write too the property which we are applying?

k...u just read the table given in question and see that initial investment is $25; it increases by $3 every year...
right?now there are 20 $25 in $500(we get it by dividing $500 by $20....
after 8 years,value of $25 will be 62 and value of $500 will be 62*20=$1240.(since there are 20 $25 in $500)
