13.A drone flies from its base in three stages, each stage measured in metres east and north as a column vector. Stage 1 is the column vector with top number 30 and bottom number 40. Stage 2 is the column vector with top number −10 and bottom number 20. Stage 3 is the column vector with top number 15 and bottom number −5.

(a)(−35, 55)
(b)(35, −55)
(c)(−35, −55)
(d)(35, 55)
14.A construction for the perpendicular bisector of AB begins by opening a pair of compasses to more than half the length of AB, then drawing an arc centred at A. What is the next step?
(a)an arc of the same radius, centred at the midpoint of AB
(b)an arc of the same radius, centred at B
(c)a smaller arc, centred at A again
(d)a straight line joining the ends of the first arc
