A different pattern is made using 20 straight lines and 16 arcs. The straight lines and arcs are made of metal. 20 straight lines cost £12 and the cost of one straight line: cost of one arc = 2:3. Work out the total cost of metal in the pattern.

First we need to find the cost of one arc from the information we already have about the arc (20 straight lines cost £12). To do this divide the £12 total cost by the number of lines 20.12 ÷ 20 = £0.60 ea...

(x+6) and (x+5) are the length and width, respectively, of a rectangle with area 20. Calculate the width of the rectangle.

(x+6)(x+5)=20. x2 + 11x +30=20. x2+ 11x + 10 = 0. (x+10)(x+1)=0 . x=-1 and x=-10. width= -10+5=-5 (invalid solution). width =-1+5= 4. Checking through: (-1+6)*(-1+5)=20.

Three points have coordinates A(-8, 6), B(4, 2) and C(-1, 7). The line through C perpendicular to AB intersects AB at the point P. Find the equations of the line AB and CP.

To find the equation of a line, we need; the gradient of that line and a point on that line. To find the gradient of a line, we require two points on the line which have been prov...
