1.Point B is at (3, 5). It is reflected in the line y = 2. Work out the coordinates of the image of point B.
(a)(3, −4)
(b)(3, −1)
(c)(3, −5)
(d)(−3, 5)
2.A circle has circumference 31.4 cm. Using π = 3.14, work out the radius of the circle.
(a)2.5 cm
(b)10 cm
(c)5 cm
(d)15.7 cm
3.A sector of a circle has radius 6 cm and angle 60°. Work out the arc length of the sector, in terms of π.
(a)12π cm
(b)6π cm
(c)π cm
(d)2π cm
4.A point is translated twice by the vector $(5 - 3)$ . Write down the single column vector that describes the overall translation.
(a) $(5 - 3)$
(b) $(10 - 6)$
(c) $(5 - 6)$
(d) $(15 - 9)$
5.A garden bed is designed as a trapezium. The two parallel sides are 8 m and 12 m, and the perpendicular distance between them is 5 m. Grass seed covers 4 m² per bag, sold only in whole bags. Work out how many bags of grass seed are needed.
(a)50
(b)25
(c)13
(d)12
6.Angle ABC is 130°. The line BF divides angle ABC into two equal parts. Work out the size of angle FBC.
(a)65°
(b)32.5°
(c)50°
(d)130°
7.A sector has an angle of 45°. Priti says: 'The area of the sector is one eighth of the area of the full circle, whatever the radius is.' Is Priti correct?
(a)No, because 45 ÷ 360 = 1/6, not 1/8.
(b)Yes, but only because the radius happens to make 45° exactly one eighth of a full turn in this particular circle.
(c)No, because the fraction of the area also depends on the radius, so it is not fixed.
(d)Yes, because 45 ÷ 360 = 1/8, and this fraction applies to any radius.
8.State whether the line segment joining A(−4, 3) and B(2, 6) is horizontal, vertical or neither, and give a reason for your answer.
(a)Horizontal, because both points have a y-coordinate
(b)Neither, because both coordinates differ
(c)Horizontal, because the x-coordinates increase from A to B
(d)Vertical, because both points have an x-coordinate
9.Point A and point B are 5 cm apart. How many points are exactly 4 cm from A and exactly 3 cm from B?
(a)4
(b)0
(c)2
(d)1
10.The angle between north and a footpath is 35°, measured clockwise from north. What is the three-figure bearing of the footpath?
(a)035°
(b)325°
(c)350°
(d)215°
11.The diagram shows the plan, front elevation and side elevation of a solid. Which of these solids matches all three views?
(a)A triangle-based pyramid standing on its triangular base
(b)A triangular prism standing on its triangular end
(c)A cuboid standing on a rectangular face
(d)A triangular prism lying on one of its rectangular faces
12.A(1, 2), B(5, 2) and C(5, 6) are three of the four vertices of a square ABCD. Work out the coordinates of D.
(a)(6, 1)
(b)(1, 6)
(c)(1, 5)
(d)(9, 6)
13.A recipe uses 0.75 kg of sugar. Work out how many grams of sugar this is.
(a)750
(b)0.00075
(c)75
(d)7500
14.A scale drawing of a bridge uses a scale of 1 : 25. A support beam on the drawing measures 4.4 cm. What is the real length of the beam, in metres?
(a)4.4
(b)110
(c)11
(d)1.1
15.How many faces does a cuboid have?
(a)8
(b)4
(c)6
(d)12
