SL Paper 2

A farmer owns a field in the shape of a triangle ABC such that AB=650m, AC=1005m and BC=1225m.

The local town is planning to build a highway that will intersect the borders of the field at points D and E, where DC=210m and CÊD=100°, as shown in the diagram below.

The town wishes to build a carpark here. They ask the farmer to exchange the part of the field represented by triangle DCE. In return the farmer will get a triangle of equal area ADF, where F lies on the same line as D and E, as shown in the diagram above.

Find the size of AĈB.

The living accommodation on a university campus is in the shape of a rectangle with sides of length 200m and 300m.

There are three offices for the management of the accommodation set at the points A, B and C. These offices are responsible for all the students in the areas closest to the office. These areas are shown on the Voronoi diagram below. On this coordinate system the positions of A, B and C are (100, 160), (100, 40) and (250, 100) respectively.

A large water reservoir is built in the form of part of an upside-down right pyramid with a horizontal square base of length 80 metres. The point C is the centre of the square base and point V is the vertex of the pyramid.

The bottom of the reservoir is a square of length 60 metres that is parallel to the base of the pyramid, such that the depth of the reservoir is 6 metres as shown in the diagram.

The second diagram shows a vertical cross section, MNOPC, of the reservoir.

Every day 80m3 of water from the reservoir is used for irrigation.

Examiners report

Finding the angle of depression from M to N proved problematic for many. Some chose the angle inclined to the vertical or attempted a less efficient method such as solving triangle NMP. Most candidates attempted to find CV through trigonometry rather than similar triangles. Consistent with past examination sessions, it is clear that candidate do not always understand the demands of a 'show that' question. Working backwards to verify the given volume of 29600m3 accrued no marks. Various approaches were used, with most candidates earning at least one mark for one correct volume seen. Part (c) was accessible to all. It was surprising to see some candidates identify 360 as the number of days in a calendar year. Part (d) was a true high-order discriminator, proving to be challenging for even very capable candidates. Some candidates found the surface area of a shape/object that is not part of the reservoir, while the majority incorrectly identified the height of trapezoid MPON as 6.

Consistent with past examination sessions, it is clear that candidate do not always understand the demands of a 'show that' question. Working backwards to verify the given volume of 29600m3 accrued no marks. Various approaches were used, with most candidates earning at least one mark for one correct volume seen. Part (c) was accessible to all. It was surprising to see some candidates identify 360 as the number of days in a calendar year. Part (d) was a true high-order discriminator, proving to be challenging for even very capable candidates. Some candidates found the surface area of a shape/object that is not part of the reservoir, while the majority incorrectly identified the height of trapezoid MPON as 6.

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.

Examiners report

Part (a)(i) proved to be difficult for many candidates. About half of the candidates managed to correctly find the angle AO^B. A variety of methods were used: cosine to find half of AO^B then double it; sine to find angle AO^B , then find half of AAO^B and double it; Pythagoras to find half of AB and then sine rule to find half of angle AO^B then double it; Pythagoras to find half of AB, then double it and use cosine rule to find angle AO^B . Many candidates lost a mark here due to premature rounding of an intermediate value and hence the final answer was not correct (to three significant figures).

In part (a)(ii) very few candidates managed to find the correct area of the shaded segment and include the correct units. Some only found the area of the triangle or the area of the sector and then stopped.

In part (b)(i), nearly all candidates managed to find the area of a circle.

In part (b)(ii), finding the area of the field reached by the goat proved troublesome for most of the candidates. It appeared as if the candidates did not fully understand the problem. Very few candidates realized the connection to part (a)(ii).

Part (c) was accessed by only a handful of candidates. The candidates could simply have graphed the function on their GDC to find the greatest value, but most did not realize this.

A king rules a small mountain kingdom which is in the form of a square of length 4 kilometres. The square is described by the co-ordinate system  0 x 4 , 0 y 4 .

The king has four adult children, each of which has a luxury palace located at the points ( 1 , 1 ) , ( 3 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 3 ) , ( 3 , 3 ) . Each child owns all the land that is nearer their palace than any other palace.

The king has a fifth (youngest) child who is now just growing up. He installs her in a new palace situated at point (2, 2). The rule about ownership of land is then reapplied.

Examiners report

Part (a) was answered very well and demonstrated that the candidates had good knowledge of the midpoint formula. Some candidates did not write the midpoint they found as a coordinate pair and lost a mark there. Part (b) was answered well. Most candidates were able to find the gradient of [BD] and then the gradient of the perpendicular [XZ] and its equation. Candidates who lost marks in (b) were able to collect follow through marks in parts (c), (d), and (e). In part (c), not all candidates were able to identify the correct equations that they needed to find the coordinates of point X. In part (d), many candidates overlooked the fact that the question called for the exact length of [YZ] – the majority of candidates gave the answer correct to three significant figures and hence lost a mark. In part (d) most candidates were able to correctly use the cosine rule. Marks were lost here if the candidates calculated the length of [XZ] incorrectly, or substituted the [XZ], [YZ] or [XY] values incorrectly. Often candidates used rounded [XZ], [YZ] or [XY] values prematurely, for which they lost the last mark. Part (f) was mostly well answered. If candidates found an angle in part (e), they were usually able to find the area in (f) correctly. Again, the contextual question in part (g) was challenging to many candidates. Some answers showed misconceptions about Voronoi diagrams, for example some candidates stated that “if the cell were larger, then some people living there will be much closer to supermarkets A, B, C than to supermarket D.” Many candidates offered explanations, which were long and unclear, which often did not address the issue they were asked to comment on, nor displayed a sound understanding of the topic.

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.

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.

Farmer Brown has built a new barn, on horizontal ground, on his farm. The barn has a cuboid base and a triangular prism roof, as shown in the diagram.

The cuboid has a width of 10 m, a length of 16 m and a height of 5 m.
The roof has two sloping faces and two vertical and identical sides, ADE and GLF.
The face DEFL slopes at an angle of 15° to the horizontal and ED = 7 m .

The roof was built using metal supports. Each support is made from five lengths of metal AE, ED, AD, EM and MN, and the design is shown in the following diagram.

ED = 7 m , AD = 10 m and angle ADE = 15° .
M is the midpoint of AD.
N is the point on ED such that MN is at right angles to ED.
