(a)92°
(b)134°
(c)46°
(d)88°
4.A designer creates a repeating tile pattern. Each tile is translated from the one before it by the column vector with top number 4.5 and bottom number −2.5 (in centimetres). The first tile has its bottom-left corner at (1.5, 3). Work out the coordinates of the bottom-left corner of the third tile.
(a)(10.5, 8)
(b)(6, 0.5)
(c)(10.5, −2)

5.Write down the column vector that describes a translation of 5 units to the left and 3 units down.
(a) $(- 5 - 3)$
(b) $(- 3 5)$
(c) $(3 - 5)$

7.A birthday cake is a cylinder of radius 10 cm and height 8 cm, with a thin ribbon fixed exactly once around the curved side, at half the height, and joined with no overlap. Work out the length of ribbon needed. Use π = 3.14.

8.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. Work out the column vector that would take the drone in a single straight flight back to its base from where it ends up.
(a)(−35, 55)
(b)(35, −55)
(c)(−35, −55)
(d)(35, 55)

(a)242
(b)62
(c)118
(d)28
