3.A drone starts at the point (3.5, −2) on a grid measured in metres. It flies by the vector $(4.5 - 6.2)$ to check a first sensor. The drone then needs to fly in a straight line to reach the point (−1.7, 9) to check a second sensor. Work out the column vector of this second flight.
(a) $(6.5 1)$
(b) $(- 6.5 - 1)$
(c) $(6.5 - 4.4)$
(d) $(11 - 5.2)$

(b)48°
(c)67°
(d)180°
6.A party hat is in the shape of a cone with a base radius of 6 cm and a slant height of 10 cm. Work out the curved surface area of the party hat. Use π = 3.14 and the formula curved surface area = πrl.
