SL Paper 2

Points A and P lie on opposite banks of a river, such that AP is the shortest distance across the river. Point B represents the centre of a city which is located on the riverbank. PB=215km, AP=65km and AP^B=90°.

The following diagram shows this information.

A boat travels at an average speed of 42km h-1. A bus travels along the straight road between P and B at an average speed of 84km h-1.

Find the travel time, in hours, from A to B given that

There is a point D, which lies on the road from P to B, such that BD=xkm. The boat travels from A to D, and the bus travels from D to B.

An excursion involves renting the boat and the bus. The cost to rent the boat is $200 per hour, and the cost to rent the bus is $150 per hour.

A pan, in which to cook a pizza, is in the shape of a cylinder. The pan has a diameter of 35 cm and a height of 0.5 cm.

M17/5/MATSD/SP2/ENG/TZ1/04

A chef had enough pizza dough to exactly fill the pan. The dough was in the shape of a sphere.

The pizza was cooked in a hot oven. Once taken out of the oven, the pizza was placed in a dining room.

The temperature, P , of the pizza, in degrees Celsius, °C, can be modelled by

P ( t ) = a ( 2.06 ) t + 19 ,   t 0

where a is a constant and t is the time, in minutes, since the pizza was taken out of the oven.

When the pizza was taken out of the oven its temperature was 230 °C.

The pizza can be eaten once its temperature drops to 45 °C.

Calculate the volume of this pan.

Olivia’s house consists of four vertical walls and a sloping roof made from two rectangles. The height, CD , from the ground to the base of the roof is 4.5 m.

The base angles of the roof are A B C = 27 and A C B = 26 .

The Tower of Pisa is well known worldwide for how it leans.

Giovanni visits the Tower and wants to investigate how much it is leaning. He draws a diagram showing a non-right triangle, ABC.

On Giovanni’s diagram the length of AB is 56 m, the length of BC is 37 m, and angle ACB is 60°. AX is the perpendicular height from A to BC.

Giovanni’s tourist guidebook says that the actual horizontal displacement of the Tower, BX, is 3.9 metres.

Use Giovanni’s diagram to show that angle ABC, the angle at which the Tower is leaning relative to the
horizontal, is 85° to the nearest degree.

[5]
a.i.

Use Giovanni's diagram to calculate the length of AX.

John purchases a new bicycle for 880 US dollars (USD) and pays for it with a Canadian credit card. There is a transaction fee of 4.2 % charged to John by the credit card company to convert this purchase into Canadian dollars (CAD).

The exchange rate is 1 USD = 1.25 CAD.

John insures his bicycle with a US company. The insurance company produces the following table for the bicycle’s value during each year.

The values of the bicycle form a geometric sequence.

During the 1st year John pays 120 USD to insure his bicycle. Each year the amount he pays to insure his bicycle is reduced by 3.50 USD.

Calculate, in CAD, the total amount John pays for the bicycle.
