The diagram shows the net of a cuboid with its base shaded. The length of the cuboid is 10 cm, its width is 4 cm and its height is 5 cm.

Question 4 — net of cuboid with base shaded, labelled a, b, c, d

Write down the values of each of a, b, c and d.

Show solution

The main horizontal strip of the net unfolds into the four side faces of the cuboid, wrapping all the way around the base — so its total width equals the perimeter of the 10×4 base:

a = 2(10+4) = 28 cm

The top flap folds up to become the top face (10×4), attached along one of the “length” (10 cm) sections of the strip, so its width matches the cuboid’s length:

b = 10 cm

The depth of that same top flap matches the cuboid’s width:

c = 4 cm

The main strip’s own height equals the cuboid’s height (5 cm), and the shaded Base flap (which becomes the bottom face) extends a further 4 cm below it, so the total vertical measurement on the right of the net is:

d = 5 + 4 = 9 cm

Please double-check against the original diagram: the exact position of each labelled arrow (particularly whether d spans only the main strip or the main strip plus the shaded Base flap) needs to be confirmed against the printed net. The values above are consistent with a standard cuboid net layout for length=10, width=4, height=5, but please verify the precise arrow endpoints on the PDF before sharing with students.

The diagram shows a trapezium PQRS, with parallel sides SR=5.3 cm and PQ=8.7 cm, and perpendicular height 3.8 cm.

Question 10 — trapezium PQRS with parallel sides 5.3cm and 8.7cm, height 3.8cm

Calculate the area of the trapezium.

Show solution

Area of a trapezium = ½(sum of parallel sides) × height = ½(5.3+8.7) × 3.8

= ½(14) × 3.8 = 7 × 3.8 = 26.6 cm²

A train, 1750 metres long, is travelling at 55 km/h. Calculate how long it will take for the whole train to completely cross a bridge that is 480 metres long. Give your answer in seconds, correct to the nearest second.

Show solution

For the whole train to completely cross, the front must travel the bridge length plus the entire train length: 1750+480 = 2230 m

Speed = 55 km/h = 55 000÷3600 = 15.278 m/s

Time = 2230 ÷ 15.278 = 146 s (nearest second)

The grid shows triangle A (shaded, vertices approximately (1,−1), (5,−1), (1,2)), triangle B (vertices approximately (−5,−1), (−9,−1), (−5,2)), and triangle C (a smaller triangle near x: −1 to 0, y: −1 to −3).

Question 15 — grid showing triangles A, B and C
  1. (a) Describe fully the single transformation that maps:
    1. triangle A onto triangle B
    2. triangle A onto triangle C.
  2. (b) Draw the image of triangle A after a rotation, 90° clockwise, about (1, 3).
Show solution
Question 15b solution — grid showing triangle A rotated 90 degrees clockwise about (1,3)
  1. (a)(i) Comparing vertex (1,−1) on A with the corresponding vertex (−5,−1) on B: testing a reflection in a vertical line x=k, using the rule x′=2kx: 2k−1=−5 gives k=−2. Checking the other vertices confirms this works throughout.
    Reflection in the line x = −2
  2. (a)(ii) Triangle C is a smaller copy of A with the same angles, positioned in a different part of the grid — this is an enlargement. To find the exact scale factor and centre: measure the ratio of corresponding side lengths for the scale factor, then join at least two pairs of corresponding vertices with straight lines and extend them — the point where they cross is the centre of enlargement.
    Enlargement, scale factor and centre to be confirmed from the exact grid positions
  3. (b) Using the rotation rule for 90° clockwise about a centre (a,b): a point (x,y) maps to (a+(yb), b−(xa)). Using centre (1,3) and A’s vertices (1,−1), (5,−1), (1,2):
    (1,−1) → (1+(−1−3), 3−(1−1)) = (−3, 3)
    (5,−1) → (1+(−1−3), 3−(5−1)) = (−3, −1)
    (1,2) → (1+(2−3), 3−(1−1)) = (0, 3)
    Plot these three points and join them to draw the rotated triangle.
Please double-check against the original diagram: this whole question depends on the exact vertex coordinates of triangles A, B and C on the printed grid, which can’t be fully confirmed from the extracted text. Part (a)(i) checks out consistently with the coordinates as read, but please verify triangle C’s exact vertices to pin down the scale factor and centre in part (a)(ii), and confirm triangle A’s vertices before using the rotated coordinates in part (b).

The speed–time graph shows information about a bus journey: rising from 0 to 15 m/s over the first 20 seconds, constant at 15 m/s from 20s to 140s, then decreasing to 0 by 190s.

Question 19 — speed-time graph, rising to 15 m/s at 20s, constant to 140s, falling to 0 at 190s

Calculate the total distance travelled by the bus.

Show solution

Distance = area under the graph, split into three sections:

Rising (0 to 20s): ½ × 20 × 15 = 150 m

Constant (20 to 140s): 120 × 15 = 1800 m

Falling (140 to 190s): ½ × 50 × 15 = 375 m

Total = 150+1800+375 = 2325 m

y is inversely proportional to the square of (x+3). When x=5, y=0.375. Find y in terms of x.

Show solution

  1. (a) On the axes, sketch the graph of y=cosx, for 0° ≤ x ≤ 360°.
  2. (b) Solve the equation cosx=0.294 for 0° ≤ x ≤ 360°.
Show solution
  1. (a) The cosine curve starts at (0°,1), falls to (90°,0), continues down to (180°,−1), rises back to (270°,0), and returns to (360°,1) — a smooth wave shape.
  2. (b) x = cos−1(0.294) = 72.9°. Since cosine is also positive in the fourth quadrant, the second solution is 360−72.9 = 287.1°
    x = 72.9° or x = 287.1° (1 d.p.)

x² − 16x + a can be written in the form (x+b)². Find the value of a and the value of b.

Show solution

Expanding (x+b)² = x²+2bx+b². Comparing with x²−16x+a: matching the x-terms gives 2b=−16, so b=−8.

Then a must equal b² = (−8)² = 64 for the constant terms to match.

a = 64   b = −8

A bag contains 2 green buttons, 5 red buttons and 6 blue buttons. Two buttons are taken at random from the bag without replacement. Calculate the probability that the two buttons are different colours.

Show solution

Total buttons = 2+5+6 = 13. It’s easier to find P(same colour) first, then subtract from 1.

P(both green) = (2/13)(1/12) = 2/156

P(both red) = (5/13)(4/12) = 20/156

P(both blue) = (6/13)(5/12) = 30/156

P(same colour) = (2+20+30)/156 = 52/156 = ⅓

P(different colours) = 1 − ⅓ = 2/3

A is the point (6, 1) and B is the point (2, 7). Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of AB. Give your answer in the form y=mx+c.

Show solution

Midpoint of AB = ((6+2)/2, (1+7)/2) = (4, 4)

Gradient of AB = (7−1)/(2−6) = 6/(−4) = −1.5

Perpendicular gradient = negative reciprocal of −1.5 = ⅔

Using the midpoint (4,4): y−4 = ⅔(x−4) → y = ⅔x − &frac83; + 4 = ⅔x + &frac43;

y = (2/3)x + 4/3
