1.Point E is at (4, 2). It is rotated 180° about the point (1, 1). Work out the coordinates of the image of point E.
(a)(5, 3)
(b)(−4, −2)
(c)(3, 1)
(d)(−2, 0)

(b)SSS
(c)SSA
(d)RHS
3.A warehouse stores identical cube-shaped crates. Its plan view is a 2 by 4 rectangle of crate positions, and every position is filled to a height of 3 crates, except one corner position, which has only 2 crates stacked on it because a delivery was incomplete. How many crates are there in total?
(a)22
(b)23
(c)21
(d)24
4.A dog is tied by a lead 4 m long to a fixed ring on a straight garden wall. The wall extends much further than the lead can reach in both directions, and the dog cannot cross through it. Describe the region the dog can reach.
(a)A rectangle 4 m wide, running along the wall.
(b)A semicircle of radius 4 m, away from the wall.
(c)A full circle of radius 4 m.
(d)A quarter circle of radius 4 m.
5.Lines AB and CD are parallel. A straight line EF crosses AB at point P and crosses CD at point Q. At P, angle APE = 65°. Angle APE and angle BPQ are vertically opposite. Angle BPQ and angle PQD are co-interior (allied) angles. Work out angle PQD.
(a)65°
(b)115°
(c)25°
(d)295°
6.A designer enlarges a drawing of a model car for a poster. She first enlarges the drawing by a scale factor of 1.5, and then enlarges that result by a further scale factor of 2. On the original drawing, the position of a wheel relative to the front bumper is given by the column vector with top number 4 and bottom number −3, in centimetres. What is the corresponding column vector on the poster, in centimetres?
(a)(7, 0)
(b)(12, −9)
(c)(12, −3)
(d)(4, −9)
7.The diagram shows the plan, front elevation and side elevation of a solid. Which solid could this be?
(a)A cuboid

(a)3
(b)7
(c)14
(d)5
9.Two straight roads cross at a junction. The angle between them, measured with a protractor, is 118°. What is the size of the angle vertically opposite to it?
(a)118°
(b)180°
(c)62°
(d)236°
10.Lines JK and LM are parallel. A straight line crosses JK at point P and crosses LM at point Q. Angle KPQ = 118°. Angle KPQ and angle MQP are co-interior (allied) angles. Work out angle MQP.
(a)62°
(b)59°
(c)90°
(d)118°

(a)0
(b)2
(c)4
(d)1
13.A shape is translated by the vector $(- 7 4)$ and then by the vector $(3 - 9)$ . Write down the single column vector that has the same effect as those two translations together.
(a) $(- 4 - 5)$
(b) $(- 10 13)$
(c) $(- 4 - 13)$
(d) $(- 10 - 5)$
14.A right-angled triangle has a hypotenuse of 14 cm. One of the other angles is 30°. Work out the exact length of the side opposite the 30° angle.
(a)28 cm
(b)7 cm
(c)7√3 cm
